I think it's a great series! And the investigation with a twist, I really liked it! And TISI and the kid are just cool, and Higgy and Thomas are on the same wavelength, but they don't know it) It's funny, but knowing that Orville and his pregnant girlfriend are husband and wife in reality somehow reduces interest in their couple on the screen.
But the joke with the stroller came to me)
And the fact that they have a chat for shipping Magnum and Juliet.

@Oliverell22: I don't know, I'm probably in the minority, but I really don't want Magnum and Higgins to get together. It's impossible to look at it anymore, even though it hasn't really happened yet.
Higgins, acting like a 14-year-old girl who was first noticed by a boy from the next class. Magnum, who just doesn't know what to do with himself when he approaches Higgins (not in the sense that they're both playing convincing lovers, but in the sense that Hernandez, as far as I'm concerned, is visually uncomfortable in these scenes).
If they continue to bend this line, we will have a bunch of such teenage "adulthood" scenes, constant awkward situations with "oh, he/she touched me, maybe he/she meant something." I hope the scriptwriters will turn them into two adults who behave like adults, communicate normally and openly and decide to start (or not start) a relationship, or some kind of school drama of the "Helen and the guys" level awaits us.

@tigrik46: I've already written about this in a long comment for one episode of this season.
I'm not one of those who would like a pair of Tosama and Higgy, but I'm not one of those who doesn't want it either.
The thing is, as soon as they (the characters) decide and make a decision about each other, a new stage of the series will begin, which will lead to several possible outcomes.:
1. A normal relationship (without the same "sucky-pussy" and awkward situations), which will only support their partnership, business, friendship, etc. Who would believe such a thing? That's right)
2. Outburst of feelings and passionate relationships, creating awkward, comical situations, for example, attempts to hide the relationship, or attempts to combine them with work, with friends, etc.
3. A careful and long "game", with conversations, dates, distance, slow steps, with a thoughtful plot so as not to hurt each other, not to harm work and loved ones, possibly leading to something good and stable.
4. Ignoring all feelings, only on one side. One decides to take a step, the other decides to step back, for fear of spoiling everything. The hard option.
5. Both are cowards and again do nothing, avoiding feelings and the truth. The result is stagnation.
Each of these points, individually and together, will change the course of the series. And there is a huge chance, as in many TV series, that the viewer's interest will drop, ratings will slide down, and the series will end quickly.
I repeat myself, but it's a fact - as soon as the main characters of the series are brought together, the intriguing magic disappears, the game between the characters disappears, which is why the characters are shipped, brought together in dreams and fan fiction. An important aspect disappears, and the plots begin to sag, as they are forced to fill it with something else.
Therefore, I am quite satisfied that they are still not ready to accept the fact that they love each other. I like the series even without a couple as a couple. But I also understand that this can't go on forever.

@Oliverell22: I'm in favor of the first option, I'm already tired of these formulaic dramas for the sake of a drama with moldy dark secrets from the past and present, and ex-boyfriends suddenly appearing on the horizon.

@Oliverell22: Well, I'm not arguing with you about this, but for me everything is much simpler) They'll bring Miggy together - the end of the series, they'll wind snot on their fist - the end of the series, because they won't be able to play wiil they won't they for a long time either (especially considering what talented scriptwriters they have here). Leaving them as partners is an option, but they said the letter a anyway, and we'll have to explain the letter b somehow. In the end, it seems to me that the showrunners dug themselves a hole in which they buried the ratings.
Well, I suspect that season 5 will be the last. Since they've been actively pushing the subject with Miggy. Plus, it seems they have five-year contracts. If the mediocre scriptwriters are not replaced, then Wangyu is the fifth final one.

@Oliverell22: I imagine the sixth scenario - they decide to confess their feelings to each other, but suddenly something explodes, and we are waiting for the next season))

@dimasil: I didn't write a version about the next season, because I was thinking in a general sense, for the whole series.

The operation was too complicated. It was easier to take the kid in a share, and then dig in. But it was fun!

Do they have psychologists working almost around the clock in America? Higgy just called and came in late at night. Any whim for your money? 🤔
TISI did the right thing. Cabe will get to know his family, it's very important for him to know that he has relatives and support.
A funny moment in the store when Rick bullied Thomas, who confessed that he had feelings for Higgy.
"What are you doing?"
- I'm writing down the date and time of the moment when you realized what everyone else knew for a long time.

Cabe deserves a family. TISI gave the guy a good foothold, but he also needs his family, especially since Cabe has them and is ready to accept him.
