I finished the finale about an hour and 1/2 ago and honestly, I enjoyed it as an episode. Yea the stakes felt kinda odd at some points and the pacing was kinda funky (and there was no buddie) but honestly I don't mind. Looking at it through the lens of it potentially being the last episode ever, i understand the tone. I really thought the intense kerfuffle that was the emergency was interesting and well-planned. Buck taking charge where he could while while also handing captaincy to Hen, and being okay with handing the baby over to connor and kameron showed just how much he's developed as a character and that alone makes me happy. Jeff coming back was fun and sweet. the ending was kinda cool. I genuinely understand why buck ends up with natalia (even if im a little salty about it - i'm sure buck will figure it out eventually). At least eddie being terrible at asking marisol out was consistent with his character. I won't lie the meditation had me cackling for some reason but its not like they don't need it. All in all its not the worst episode by a long shot (in my opinion) and its impossible for every single one to be perfect - some of them have to have flaws and this one just kinda happens to be one of them. but even then, the biggest 'flaw' for me was there being no buddie moment(s) which like its not the buddie show so whatever.
