MovieBuffSince1995

I have no words. It is probably one of the best-written episodes of the series as a whole. So much time went into this story.

The acting. Give Angela and Kenny an Emmy. Their performances were so powerful, so real, the choices they made were unbelievable. Phenomenal. Truly incredible.

I don't even know where to start. But the writing was solid, there were call backs to previous episodes and Bobby's story came full circle in a way I don't think any of us expected. Bobby will absolutely be missed.

If the writing continues to be this solid by the end of this season, it proves that ultimately this was the right direction to take the show.

This episode was a standing in front to the tv, glued to the screen, every moment counts tension-filled kind of episode.

It was bold in its storytelling, and it ended. It was powerful because they really did do something they had never done before. And it was devastating because of that.

Everyone acted their heart out, those with a lot of screen time and those without.

Every member of the cast delivered powerful, emotionally driven performances. From the epic and emotionally brutal moments to the unexpected and quieter moments that did occur in the show.

Overall was this a tough and emotionally draining episode? Absolutely. It was also shocking and devastating. But it was a strong episode that will have fans and the show dealing with for the rest of the season and probably some of the next too.

There may have been a few things that I felt were maybe a smidge rushed. But overall, this was an intense, fast-paced, and powerful episode. The acting for everyone is incredible. It's so good to see moments from characters we haven't seen a lot from, like Ravi. Giving him his moment and continuing to develop his friendship with Buck was excellent to see.

The set up with the guest stars was also excellent. Great actors all around.

The action was great, the acting superb, and Buck and Athena's dynamics are such a joy to see on this show. I do not understand how they will resolve this in the next episode.

Major kudos to the writers Lyndsey Beaulieu & Taylor Wong and director Karla Braun. Welcome to 9-1-1 Karla.
