I Think My Biggest Annoyance About This Episode Is That It Doesnt Really Feel Like It’s A Continuation

I think my biggest annoyance about this episode is that it doesnt really feel like it’s a continuation of the previous one? At least when it comes to buck and eddie. Buck randomly asking for a transfer when the previous episode had him having that talk with pepa, his reunion with chris (symbolizing that he still has a family and that things arent as fractured as they seem) and ESPECIALLY that scene where he works together to end that fire with hen and chim symbolizing that they are still a team and that’s just… ignored? Buck suddenly doesnt give a shit about hen and chim? And i get it, he’s still grieving but then what the fuck was the purpose of 8x17 if it wasn’t him starting the ACTUAL healing process? Him randomly choosing to transfer is so… odd and out of place? And Eddie! What is the purpose of that talk he had with hen & karen where he slips out that LA is his home and that he’s worried about buck? What’s the purpose of showing us how happy he looks when he sees buck snd chris together again (showcasing that he knows his family is in LA?) All of this just for him to still seem to be eager to leave for Texas at the end of the emergency when it was such a great set up for him to realize he wants to stay and work with the people he cares about? Apparently since Chris didn’t even need any convincing to go back to LA?????? Was this weird dissonance between the two episodes and the character writing really just to set up chimney’s speech at the end (which mind u kenny killed but I’m really struggling to enjoy)??

Like I dont think they could have dropped the ball harder than this if they tried.

Honestly they could show me Peter Krause's contract saying he's not on the show anymore and I would still believe Bobby's alive because how are they so stupid to kill him

if they do not show us eddie finding out about bobby. like. i actually cannot fathom that. bobby was eddie's lifeline. he was eddie's living proof that you could get a second chance and be happy. he was his biggest advocate and he was bobby's. he was a good man. he was family.

No, because here's the thing. People don't die on this show. Sure Abby's mom died but that was always gonna happen. Shannon might be the only character that wasn't dying when introduced and actually died. They had an actor giving them trouble who played a character who had literal brain cancer and they didn't kill him off. They just don't kill characters. Maddie just had her throat slashed and survived. And I'm supposed to believe that they just let the death of someone who shares the main character spot with Angela Bassett leak like it's nothing? They were signing autographs and taking pictures. Someone was livestreaming the filming for hours. They weren't even trying to hide what was happening. And I'm supposed to believe that death is actually real???
