The Episode Review
This episode was full of action and it was great to see Buck and Jee-Yun working together. Normally, we see him hanging out with Christopher so this was definitely a good change of pace. ..
After seeing May in the press conference, it was reassuring to learn that she is adjusting well and still enjoys life. It will be interesting to see how her relationship with Darius unfolds, as many viewers were anxious to know how she was doing. Hopefully, they will have a great time and enjoy the new phase of their lives together. ..
Eddie’s realization that parenting is something that can’t be prepared for was beautiful and moving. Many parents can attest to this, as there are many things we never imagined or dreamed of seeing our kids do. The scene where Eddie shares his thoughts on this with Carla was refreshingly raw! I can’t wait to see what happens next in the episode. ..
