Mackenzie: Food.

Razi: Dating.

Antonio: Murder.

Drug (or just general) hallucination Rigo! Honestly never thought I'd see him again, but I should've known better after Sullivan's Ripley hallucination. I really do miss the both of them.

The way that Rigo doesn’t even fault Jack for what happened despite how much they’d hated one another and owned up to his own mistake is pretty powerful- and hopefully will allow Jack to finally forgive himself.

I absolutely love how the hallucinations (Ripley, Rigo) act as therapists and give advice to the people they appear to, to help them finally begin to get their lives back together. It’s awesome, and it kills me with how sad it is. Seeing these dead guys at their peak when they’re already gone.

Also, Beckett was amazing. The way he was getting into Halloween stuff (though, apparently, just to get Maya) and the team considering murder for it- fucking hilarious.

As for Ruiz, he’s not wrong. Beckett really does need to get himself in line and behave like an actual captain. Him snapping like that is, honestly, probably exactly what the team needs. A lighthearted guy telling them that they’re out of line. It’s good to see that it’s getting Maya to see reason and admit that she has things she needs to figure out. Exactly what she needed to begin to work on herself, even if it began with a breakdown in the shower. It’s progress.

And hallucination Rigo? He’s exactly what Jack needed. Eva doesn’t deserve him. Thank you, Rigo, for helping a man you were always at odds with. ❤😭

And Eli Stern literally deserves his own bullet point just for his wholesomeness. I think he really could help Travis out a lot.
