B - e9 to e18

i mean go get your son

BUT DONT MOVE

how the fuck am i supposed to be happy this holiday season if i don’t know if eddie is staying or not????

I wanted to see Maddie and Chimney's wedding happen - the backyard, the dance, everything! Okay, it was sweet to do the ceremony at the hospital because he didn't want to wait another second, but a reception of sorts would have been nice to conclude the episode.

That episode starting with Buck and Eddie walking into Maddie's dressing room all hungover, filthy and stuff gave me such The Hangover vibes, I was so excited! 🤭 But it took a different route and I was ecstatic to see Kevin after so long and it was bittersweet too. 🥹

I loved that they brought him back for this. I thought that they would play on the part that Kevin is here, as a soul, watching over Chim, because he definitely helped him clear the wool out of his eyes that imaginary Doug was trying to pull, and he would eventually be at Maddie and Chim's wedding too, smiling tearfully and happily as he watched his brother kiss his bride.

I can't help but imagine a scene where Jee-Yun would smile at the empty space beside Mrs. Lee making her frown curiously at her granddaughter before she hears her say "Kevin" softly. She would gasp in surprise and watch Jee closely who would wind her arms around her grandma's neck and hug her close. Tears would spring in her eyes and she would thank the gods, thank her son and thank Jee as well.

Moving on, I liked the Bobby & Brad plot. There is something both annoying and endearing about the guy and Bobby knows that Brad is not a bad guy. Just misguided by fame and the glamour.

Brad in E8 was so sweet - you can see it is not all shimmer, shine and gloss with him because he genuinely wants to do some good, wants to do a good job as an actor and share a good story for his audience & fans. The previous episodes give a glimpse into his personality as well, as he admires Bob (Bobby) for who he is and what he does. He also admits his faults, pulls back and reevaluates.

Also his talk with Eddie. 🤗 I teared up a little as he spoke of his son and how he had missed so much of his life, of him growing up and the pain in his eyes as he spoke that he was awaiting an invite to his son's wedding. You can tell he regrets not staying in touch or going back to England to be with his family. 😭 He does not want Eddie to feel this pain ever and encourages him to be with his son.

Third... I do not understand the sudden breakup of Buck and Tommy. No, really, it makes no sense! I like Tommy a lot. He is a confident, funny and amazing guy! Even the episode acknowledged it with Buck saying these words.

The Abby angle though.. was a shock but I'm glad that it wasn't a problem. I did not understand why Buck thought it was the right time to propose moving in together after they cleared the air nor do I think that Tommy needed to break up with Buck like that. It would've been fine if they had tackled the moving in problem by saying that it is too soon and that they just need some time to think it through. This only solidifies that Buck is still impulsive. Does it not? I mean, in his previous relationships, he was going with the flow and would bumble his way into a lot of things which would be too much too soon leading to a painful breakup because he refused to talk to his partners.

The two things that changed in his relationship with Tommy was that he was aware of himself and Tommy and the relationship and that he proposed moving in together himself. But I wonder if he gave it a good amount of thought because I feel like it was a by-product of the Abby thing. It just felt.. like he was scrambling?

And I get Tommy feeling sad. He believes that he will be Buck's first and never the last. But I wonder if he sees something that Buck isn't aware of? Why was he so sure that he would not be Buck's last? Or was he projecting?

From what we know, Tommy would never project because he doesn't seem like that person. He knows his limits, respects boundaries (his own and other's) and tells it like it is.

i got a request to upload the episodes and was thinking of doing it if there’s interest
