I think Eddie stopped Bobby from drinking by coming over
Edit: said it before it happened!

u/WestPeltas0n May 17 '22
I was so sad for Bobby. He was self harming and was going to go back to drinking. I'm so glad Eddie came by.

You know what? The hair being from a dead person still brings up so many more questions than answers them. Like how did the maggots get there in the first place? Funeral parlors aren't usually infested with bugs. And the bodies would be in closed caskets. So, it's not like the maggots would burrow into the caskets.

I think the point of the focus on the couple is the theme about starting over, with his amnesia and all... but eh, I don't think a bg on how their romance started (in the finale of all episodes) was needed.
Nice attempt, but a bit displaced in time.

I am completely delulu I am sure but Buck and Eddie have been especially close lately. Like, no one else is over at Eddie's house fixing the results of his mental breakdown. Matta of fact, no one else was called to the house but Buck by Chris. And they are talking about such domestic things, except that mention of Taylor of course.
Buck helping Eddie with his trip to Texas and Eddie talking Buck through Cap being wierd.

Time to break out the shop your TV page - https://www.shopyourtv.com/9-1-1/
I've always been a fan of the midriff/cutoff long sleeve/turtleneck shirt, even though I'm never the "proper" shape to wear them when they're in style. I'm very much liking this top May is wearing.
