His girlfriend, Florence, tearfully tells Rome that she’s going to end the relationship, because her husband suffered from dementia, and “I can’t take this journey with him.” Later, Rome starts to see signs that Florence’s fears about Walter may be accurate. * Rome’s father, Walter, is starting to forget things. Instead of moving in with Eddie, like he wants, she decides to make a fresh start by moving to her sister’s place in a different city. Danny thanks Gene for paving the way for him as a gay man. They share stories about their loved ones who have passed.

Gary and Danny find Gene, the guy who loved Douglas, Javier’s war buddy who died.

But he didn’t! Related: Maggie is very pregnant. From the way the post-funeral reception is shot, it seems for a minute like Gary might have died. * At some point during a seven-month time jump, Gary’s father, Javier, dies. If they can make enough in rent, that's a great alternative that allows Walter to get the help he needs without feeling like he's giving away his family home or his kids' inheritance.Station 19 Ending: Shonda Rhimes, Jaina Lee Ortiz React to Final-Season News I also liked that Omar and Rome came up with the idea of renting Walter's house instead of selling it. Add in the Hanukkah sweaters and that her Dad is such a huge Star Wars fan that he can insert dialogue into real-life situations effortlessly, and I'm a big fan. It appears they've always loved and accepted their daughter for exactly who she is. And it's important to see that, too.Ĭhristine: Greta's parents were the best. I especially appreciate that depiction because it's clear that as a gay woman, Greta grew up in a warm, loving, accepting household with a normal family. They were so fun, and it hit me that they may be the first parents we've seen from this group who were genuinely great people, healthy and loving, who didn't have any hangups or issues with Greta. Jasmine: Greta's parents really were the best and made me smile. She'd stay in France forever if I had my way. But I have no desire to watch Delilah swoop in to take over or make Eddie feel guilty. Does anyone really want Delilah back? If poor Charlie is truly sick, then she deserves to have her mother there for her. I didn't need her to come back.Ĭhristine: Ugh. If it wasn't clear, facetime cameos were sufficient. I'm just not ready for her to be a pain in the ass, blaming Eddie for Charlie being ill or something like that. I'm more interested in what could be wrong with Charlie than this being the thing that brings Delilah back (or is she only coming back to close on the house, and being there for Charlie is just a coincidence?} Jasmine: Should she, though? Can't she just delegate her parental responsibilities to her friends and Eddie the way she always has? I'm 90% sure that Danny and a nanny of some sort have been the ones raising Charlie this whole time, anyway. However, I dislike Delilah more every time she shows up acting selfish, so I would prefer she comfort Charlie off-screen. I know she's stressed and sleep deprived, but I still expected better from her. Maggie gave no recognition that Gary and Inez were working to rebuild their relationship or how much Inez was helping them with childcare. Inez was wrong about the pacifier (although I'll admit I broke down and gave my child one in less than a day), and her baby voice was annoying, but those are things you'd have to deal with in almost any relative and should have been easy enough for a trained therapist to address. I understood why Maggie was upset about Inez not respecting her wishes, especially when she's already insecure as a new mother, but her way of handling it was just abysmal, and I was disappointed in her.Ĭhristine: Has anyone checked Maggie's credentials for being a therapist because her conflict resolution skills are the worst! But Maggie's reaction was so disproportionate to what transpired, and it didn't help that she had been snipping and complaining about Inez before the pacifier incident. Jasmine: Inez definitely overstepped, not unlike what you'd expect from an elder relative in this scenario.
