They've already been renewed for season 8 and all 5 episodes this season have had some of the best live+7 ratings they've ever had. The show has always been about the characters and relationships. Yes, the rescues can be a big part of the storyline but the whole point of the show is telling the story of these characters. I've been wanting a bottle episode for years where they have a shift with no calls and we just see them in the firehouse together the entire episode.

You'd think that would be the reason, but it was actually because of Sunday Night Football.

I think Lindsay just wanted Jonathan to admit that he kept her out of his plans and he's refusing to admit that.

So if Brad is voted out with an inactivated idol what happens? Do the others just die and are no longer able to be activated or does he have to give it to someone?

I signed up for a show about firefighters, not some copaganda procedural. I will never watch this entire episode again, it was just awful. If I wanted that I'd go watch however many iterations of Law and Order there are. I'm so glad that storyline is over. I am happy that Eddie broke up with Ana, although she sort of did the majority of the work in that breakup. Eddie has a lot he needs to figure out and he should do that in therapy. I figured Maddie was going to leave but didn't realize she'd leave Jee at the fire station, I thought she'd leave her with Mrs. Lee. Also, after 4-5 months she's still this bad? If nothing else, she needs new doctors.

By yelling "NINE-NINE" and everyone else responded in kind. This was such a great final episode, so many call backs and characters. I was smiling and crying the whole time. I'm just really going to miss hanging out with these characters.

At least in past seasons 9-1-1 has always had the cliffhangers/drama in the last couple of episodes and then ends on a joyful scene of all the characters together. I'm hoping that pattern continues next week!

I had so many thoughts and then that last scene happened! I was surprised they went with the blood spray onto Buck, that's brutal. Obviously the sniper is targeting first responders because they had a clear shot on Buck (not in uniform) and moved to shoot at the other guy (in uniform). I am really hoping they don't make Christopher an orphan. Other storylines - the AAA is definitely deadly if it ruptures, I work in blood banking and usually ruptured ones don't make it to the hospital but if it ruptures at the hospital or in surgery, those patients use a LOT of blood products and still don't always make it. I'm surprised the drunk driver was released, even if she did have an ankle monitor. Also, Bobby said she had a relapse and from what I understand, at least in real life, her being allowed out with monitoring would probably require her to stay sober. If she fell off the wagon, why wasn't her release revoked? I get Bobby wanting to help her, but he and Athena really do need to work on their communication. Poor Maddie, I wonder if she has postpartum depression?

Aww Sue is married to Jerry/Gerry/Terry/Larry! I did like this episode and how the cases tied together, although Athena's point about how a 20 year old white woman missing wouldn't just be dismissed was disheartening to hear (and sadly true). I loved seeing baby Josh and how he got started, plus how he was doubting being in Sue's place but ended up getting the suspect surrounded.

Auto-brewery syndrome! It's where your body ferments yeast and basically creates beer in your gut. It can be somewhat treated with medications like antibiotics and antifungals to try and rid the body of the microorganisms that are doing the fermenting. Also a high protein, very low carb diet will help with symptoms as it prevents the organisms from having anything to ferment.

Hulu+live TV gets you TLC (for me still cheaper than cable)

I'm hoping I can keep track of everyone easier, but after watching so many iterations of the show it's hard to remember who is who sometimes.

I can't believe this has become Sunday night appointment TV for me, but I just can't not watch the train wrecks. It makes me feel a lot better about my life!

I’m someone who believes that things have meaning because there is an end, so I am happy with how this all wrapped up. We all start out as atoms that then form to become a human. Walking through the door is just letting our atoms go back to being part of the universe. It also made me think about people I love who suffer from severe depression. They wake up every day and think “f*** I’m still here.” Existence itself is painful for them (and this is with meds and treatment). So the idea that they could peacefully end their existence and therefore end their pain and anguish is comforting to me.
