First of all let me talk specifically about the episode.
I think the one episode they didn't need to stuff us with calls that we've been lacking from 5A, was this one... Like they did a bunch of short calls (means they didn't lose the touch I guess, so idk why they kept making them longer in previous episodes) and then there was the couple one... I honestly found cute and it connected to the theme of the episode, but I don't feel like using screentime for their bg in the season finale was well placed. We had lot going on in that episode, with too much to pack it up so in most part of the bg was like: "so when we're going back to the mains closure?" and I couldn't enjoy it fully.
Other than that, the episode felt a bit all over the place. Too much calls eating screentime. The May and Eddie big decisions hinted on the sinopsis? Done off-screen. Bobby's breakdown from the preview. Even being the most interesting part, was mostly secondary in an episode with too much content for short time.
I do appreciate Buck finally was the one to step back from a relationship, rather than being left behind. He is realizing he should not accept less or push aside his needs to make the relationship work. But in the end making him cheat was for nothing, since this did not play a thing in his break up with Taylor.
Now. I think the best thing coming from this episode was the Eddie and Bobby heart to heart.
It's the perfect example of things coming full circle. Bobby was there to try help Eddie, even if he didn't recognize he did need help at the time and now we see a Eddie in a good place, being able to help Bobby in ways he probably will never know, but means a lot. The most interesting part is that the main reason behind Eddie noticing Bobby might have been needing someone, was because he was at that dark place recently. If Eddie didn't go through all that he might not have been able to be there for Bobby when he most needed. This scene felt like a "God put his hands there" moment and I really love it. Also the acting on the scene was great too, specially Peter, who I personally could feel every emotion through his face from the dialogue with Eddie to the moment he threw away the alcohol in that bottle after Eddie left.
Eddie is finally back on the team where he belongs. He went through a lot this season and I'm glad to see he is in a much more good place right now.
Eddie's arc is definitely the high point of this season, together with Maddie's PPD and Bobby's arc that was coming from surface since the beginning of the season, peaking on "May Day". Those for me were the stronger arcs in the season, and I particularly love how they all were related to mental health too.
Anyways, It wasn't the best episode, but not the worst either. I'm excited to what will come from S6.
