118 arriving to a scene. Building on fire, people trapped within. Half collapsed, partially on fire staircase leading into the building.

Bobby: Eddie, looks like we got a special code 31 on this.

Eddie: you got it cap. Buck, you’re with me.

Maddie: So… what’s a special code 31? I heard Bobby use it over the dispatch…?

Chim: Oooh that. When we’re at a scene and there’s a high chance of your brother doing something stupid and getting himself killed, Bobby tells Eddie to take Buck somewhere that he can help but where he won’t… find a way to get himself killed. Again. They don’t want to tell Buck so the code is-

Maddie: Special code 31. Wow. Ok. Um so why’d he ask Eddie to help with it?

Chim: Since the well incident and especially since Eddie worked at dispatch, Buck will go anywhere Eddie asks him. He’ll do anything Eddie asks him to do.

Maddie: Curious… well, I’m sure there’s a heterosexual explanation for that.

Baby Jee: (rolls her eyes)

I want Chimney to have something to do with how Buddie happens so that he could flex that not only did he set up Henren AND Buddie but is part of Madney so really, he's the greatest matchmaker of all times!

chim: you're gay

eddie: im not gay

hen: you're literally in a romantic relationship with buck.

eddie: you got me there.

normalise hating your shitty parents. you don't have to forgive them, even for yourself. you can just... let them go. trust me, it's so much nicer that way.

I feel like we forget the part where Chimney goes "That Tommy is so cool" with that happy face, like, it's clear whatever strain was once between them has long since been handled and Chim's more than okay with the guy.

Maybe they've been distant acquaintances/colleagues for a while but still keep in touch and have a beer every once in a while, but Chim's seen Tommy come into his own over the years, seen him become a leader maybe, someone more in control and confident in their actions. And now that he's seen him throw in with the 118's crazy cruise rescue, Chim's struck by this thought that Tommy Kinard, of all people, is just so cool.

Yeah, so there's that.

GIF obviously not by me. Credit to the person who made it! (lmk if I shouldn't repost).

Buck: “Oh yeah. They’re definitely flirting with you, Chim.”

Hen, Chimney, and Eddie all sitting together in the firehouse.

Hen: Let's play a game.

Eddie: Like what?

Hen: Word association. I say a word, and you say whatever comes to mind.

Chimney: Count me out.

Eddie: I'll play.

Hen: Okay, first word is... fire.

Eddie: Water.

Hen: Truck.

Eddie: Red.

Hen: Food.

Eddie: Hungry.

Hen: Love.

Eddie, spying someone walking up the stairs: Buck!

Hen and Chimney: What!?!

Buck, joining them: Did I miss something?

What do mean there are rumors of a musical episode?

What do you mean?!

Say syke right now.

Okay. I am relegating myself to making ONE (1) salty post tonight after watching the whole episode (no promises about reblogs tho) so here we go.

Kenny deserves an Emmy, and he ALWAYS delivers on dramatic scenes in a way that makes me physically ache, so I'm not here to wish this episode was LESS about Chim and I want to make that clear.

I talked about how the tone (not content specifically, but TONE) was SO wildly off from what was teased that it threw me for a loop, and I stand by that. But what is really getting to me after sitting with it, is that a wedding episode is supposed to be a celebration of the couple getting married. So why the FUCK did Doug get more time that Maddie? I get having a Doug callback, I really do but some of the stuff he said was SO outta pocket and really stole a lot of the wedding joy because it was so focused on him being a creep instead of Chim focusing on and thinking about Maddie and his daughter and being guided by the ghost of the brother he lost.

I just- Chim loves old movies and karaoke and Buck tried so hard to make a party Chim would love! That we the audience immediately clocked at the first promo was something Chim would love since he's always the one making movie references and Buck and Maddie famously don't know old movies and weren't into pop culture growing up. We could have had an 80s action movie/The Hangover crossover of something wild happening to Chim where he disappears, and then the boys get pushed into hard partying by someone involved in that mess, and waking up and having to retrace their steps to find Chim while Maddie coordinates from dispatch and Chim gets to be the action hero and fight to get home. It could have been stressful and still included some deeply dramatic moments for Chim, while still being fun and centering Chim and Maddie and their love story as the duo of the episode. Instead, we got Doug's abuse of Maddie during their marriage centered in multiple scenes and it just makes me feel icky 🤷🏻‍♀️

Again, Kenny slayed everything and the ceremony was cute (but like, WHO were all those people???? Do they even know any of them??), but we spent three weeks getting promised a VERY-intentionally-styled-like-the-Hangover missing groom episode with a fun party and what looked like Action Hero Chim, only to get something SO dramatically different that it was a little whiplash-y. I have other thoughts about the Buckley Parents 🙄 and about the weird choice to have Buck and Eddie absolutely hammered with no explanation when we have literally never seen any of them even kinda tipsy (of their own volition) but that's for another day. For now, I'll just say, Madney have a hard fought love, but one filled with SO much joy and SO much laughter and fun, and it would have been nice to see more of that played up for their big episode rather than focusing so much on a dead man who beat his wife. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Give Kenny an Emmy tho for realsies.
