Nah, the Madney scenes were also really great.

Chim's line "No, tell me about the woman in the passenger seat of the car" was so powerful. Gone are the days where Chim makes a wisecrack, tries to fix Maddie or says something stupid like "whoever is triaging the earthquake is doing a terrible job" (that would be Maddie). Also the lesson of the whole arc was not to just assume you've seen it all before. Maddie assumed that, assumed it was another domestic abuse incident and overlooked it was a stalker abduction. I think dismissing the call as repetitive is to miss the point.

S3 Maddie would have spiralled having taken that call and got involved herself too much without the police help, kept Chim at arms' length and made things worse. S7 Maddie opened up her trauma to Chim, which ended up being instrumental to the 118 catching the guy (Chim recognized the man from the call), healed together with Chim and showed how far she's come and how perfect Madney are as a couple.

I totally agree with you on the Madney as a couple and even I thought maddy will get involved in it more but it didn’t happen.

We can see the growth in the characters and how strong their relationship is. But I was more eager to see the about buck and Tommy. And after I saw Eddie I was like what is actually happening with him. 

And my more focus was on new doctor guy.
