Because up until they finally revealed that it was Madney & baby, it kind of felt like we were purposely being teased again, especially since Peter Krause was still in the credits as an actor, even though this was the only episode since Bobby's death to have him listed but as credit only. Maybe it's just me still being upset about it, but idk. It just felt like another "...or IS he?" kind of moment from the creative team, and I'm so over that. Either let him be alive or let him be dead. Don't tease us about it. It's not cool and not funny and it helps nothing. Punching down at your audience is really probably the last thing you should be doing right now if you want to save any amount of your viewership.

Disappointing, if not entirely surprising, lack of gay shit.

I'm very satisfied with (implied?) Captain Chim, though!! (Also I called that last week!) And it was so sweet and fitting that Athena helped give him the confidence to get there! 🥰 Though it's perhaps a little concerning that he's starting his rule with, "I'm locking the doors; nobody leaves." 😅 how's that work-life balance going, 118?

(Though I do feel like they made Hen seem kind of meek in order to provide a space for him to step into? Which doesn't seem necessary to me. But also I haven't watched the whole show, so I may not have the best understanding of the characters, and Icould be misinterpreting.)

It's always funny to me when they're like, "we're the 118, we're a team, we're a family!!" or whatever, and two thirds of the ensemble are nameless extras 😅😅 like, I understand why the structure of the story necessitates that, but it's still funny.

Sooo is season 9 gonna start with Buck living on the Diaz's couch?? Making things awkward even though they don't really need to be awkward? Them trying to play the part of Platonic Best Friends, and only partially succeeding?

I AM kinda disappointed we didn't get to see Buck be relieved that Eddie wasn't leaving!!! Like, I know that, textually, he wanted to transfer bc he missed Bobby, but we all know he would never have felt that lost if Eddie hadn't intended to go back to Texas. Buck was definitely a little bit about to blow up his whole life and support network bc his bestie was moving. So it would've been nice to see him react to the news, especially bc the way we jumped straight to him apartment hunting really made him seem perpetually adrift. He's literally over here saying tragic and metaphorical shit to his real estate agent.

Popular Kid Christopher foreverrrrrrr 🥰🥰🥰 he's literally got plans, Dad. (Maybe the fanfic wasn't exaggerating the number of sleepovers?)

Do you guys think Donny and Graham got a new apartment together? 👀

Does anyone else feel like it might be weird to name a baby after someone you're close to, who has recently passed? Like, just potentially confusing. Especially if it's the name the child is actually going to be called. But I say this was someone who has never lost someone close to me, or, like, named a baby. So maybe idk what I'm talking about lol. 🤷🏻‍♀️

(I'm also literally named after my own dead abuelita, but that's not the name anyone in my family has ever called me, so I don't think it counts!) (Also it's not like my mom called her by HER name when she was alive.)

Context aside though, I do think Bobby is a cute name for baby Han. Like, Chim and Maddie do seem like they'd be parents to a Bobby! 🥰
