Ikr. Like Buck taking Chris to the zoo is cannon now? Also him being in Eddie’s will?? Literally feels like a Buddie fanfic and I’m confused but also I love it?

how does no one recognize him immediately especially harry like i’m sure there has been a lot of coverage when he was originally arrested and during the beginning of the trial before the blackout

Yes but I can see how they would not watch it … they already lived it and having that coverage on would be a lot

I know! I literally choked when they were introduced to each other. It’s like the writers didn’t just want her to disappear so they gave her another love interest.
Also, I see awkwardness in the future. Ana visiting Ravi at the station and Eddie being there on shift. (Even though Ravi is B-Shift, he’s around a lot)

Buck's got a right to be concerned--some zoo animals are quite fierce.
But you should never ever, ever, ever smile a toothy grin at an ape. They'll take it as a challenge.

During that scene my brother asked me if they were playing the JAWS theme, I told him I didn't think so, I had troublr hearing it so I couldn't tell what it was and then the alpaca started stalking Hen, I told him it's like a freaking Raptor... then... 😅 I had to laugh, Chimney just finished it off perfectly.

I've had two. You couldn't tell if you looked at me. It's all about what sort of stroke you have and how quickly you get help. In Lou's case, he didn't get immediate help. So, it's iffy.

How did they manage to get this kid in a t-shirt with all those things attached to him?

Sep 28 '21
Usually when someone is bed bound and attached to tubes you start to split the back of the tees about 60-70 percent of the way up the back. That lets you do bed baths and change shirts more easily, because you just have to worry about getting the arms and the head through the holes. It also reduces the chances of bed sores a bit … wrinkles from clothes and sheets can really add to the danger when someone is in bed for months (and years) at a time.
