I really like the series, every episode is on the same level!
It's a pity that Wesley lost the election. But it's possible that it's not over yet. Actually, this whole scene celebrating his loss is very sweet, I love it when the whole team gets together in an informal setting. 🫠😊

It felt like Tim and Lucy didn't even think about taking Seth back, but just beat him and closed their gestalt, figured out the situation) which is obvious, considering how much he's messed up. Well, poor Smitty, we'll have to keep working 💔

@heroinforcats: Well, this is the same "piano in the bushes". If they follow this path, then we are invited to believe that the prosecutor was really afraid of Wesley, that she decided to release manyechina. There is absolutely no logic in this solution, because there are more risks in such a solution than there are benefits. It is possible that all the strings to her are red herring and we will eventually be offered another solution according to which she will be "a bitch, but honest." For example, that a maniac would kidnap her.

Although I started thinking about a Beginner, not as a "chewing gum for the brain", but something at least more serious : D. I myself used to write that you need to turn off your brain and not try to explain something logically here. In reality, Wesley wouldn't have been allowed to hold any government positions for a sooooo long time (if he had been allowed at all).
The series was so family-friendly🥰
I hope the rookie paramedic stays longer)

I don't understand why they're dragging Seth all the way, he didn't warn his colleagues about the fire, they almost died because of him, you can't get this out of your personal file, you can't close your eyes. Obviously, the way to the police is closed, the person is unreliable, the person has put people in danger, what can I say? Nolan's daughter-in-law was not taken to the police because of the arson of the former's car, BECAUSE the stain is dark on her, but here it's just P. zdets, what a stain Seth has.
There are no more newcomers to the police, now there are newcomers in other fields))
But they didn't talk about recruiting for nothing, there will be more recruits, although where, Miles and Selina need to be merged somewhere then, screen time is not rubbery, there are already a dozen main characters there.
The elections were quickly resolved, I thought they would lead to victory and new enemies.
Selina is a tough guy, but her boyfriend is some kind of loser, we wouldn't waste time on him anymore. I remember all the time the newbies were thinking about where to go next, Lucy wanted to become a detective or work undercover, but why didn't they lead such a branch for Selina? She's like a patrol and OK?
I also got lost in the ranks, is Lucy a simple patrolman still despite the fact that she wanted to achieve something? She was some kind of night shift supervisor, like, where did it go?
And isn't Tim still her boss?

@Ksust: Tim's in charge of the station now. And Lucy instead of Tim, in fact, the whole patrol obeys her, and she reports to Tim. It's just that she can and should be on patrol, and Tim didn't want to sit in the office like the previous boss.
As for Selina, it's also necessary for a certain amount of time to pass in order to be able to take the detective exam, and that's not necessary. If you want to be on patrol, then you stay there, if you want to continue, then you take the exam, and if you pass and there's a place, they give you a position. Apparently, Selina either didn't have the time, or she doesn't want to yet.

@Ksust: and who knows, I missed the moment with whether they went to the frames or not.
But in fact, they live together, and they agreed to separate, like at work we are colleagues, at home we are lovers)
@Ksust: No, I've already written about it under previous episodes.

They are both sergeants-in fact, all police sergeants report only to the station captain. This is the first thing about titles.

Tim is the shift supervisor (duty commander), shifts and shifts in the precincts change. That is, Lucy, as the patrol commander, can report to any of the shift supervisors, depending on the shift (night, weekend, etc.) - that is, there is no direct conflict. This is the second thing about positions.

Plus, this is partly why such relationships are prohibited - a senior in rank can take advantage of the position and force a subordinate (to take certain actions), or vice versa, a subordinate will twist ropes from the senior in his favor to improve performance or make allowances for different people. But Tim and Lucy are now not just dating, but also living together. They are in a committed relationship, as Alexi himself said. In other words, you don't need to worry that someone is using someone else. Moreover, they are both in senior positions. This is the third thing that concerns the conflict of seniority itself.

@mofogirl: the fire brigade has its own paramedics and ambulance crews, it's enough to watch any series about firefighters with at least one eye (I came across a spin-off medical about Gray, what's his name, and 911). In this episode, we see that Bailey came to visit her old fire chief.

@alavitka: Paramedics don't always belong to the fire department - they may belong to the hospital. Where they apply depends on the state in which the action is taking place. But firefighters are always firefighters with medical training.

@Itecontest: there is no such thing as a "fire medic" :) There is either a firefighter (the majority) who has completed emergency medical technician (EMT) courses, and there is a small percentage who are still undergoing paramedic training (and yes, this is a different depth of knowledge). The percentage in the team depends on the policy of the local authorities (whoever pays, orders the rules). For example, in our city, it is required that all firefighters have multidisciplinary training, as well as that a firefighter with paramedic training be part of the team of each fire truck. As we wrote above, firefighters most often arrive much faster than ambulance teams, and in general, they have more than 50% of these calls not to fires.

We had to call a child once a long time ago, and the fireman was like 5 minutes early.

@Itecontest: In theory, it's possible, but it sounds kind of weird... Still, medic is such a collective name, which then includes both EMT and paramedics. If you want something closer in meaning to EMT - "fire paramedic" probably.

I like how Luna put all the blame on the doctor ("you knew it wasn't harmless jokes, but flirting, and if I invited you to the hotel, you would go") and her husband ("you know that our marriage has been stagnating lately"-"I would call it stability, not stagnation, but you're right."), making a victim of himself, "it's good that I came to my senses in time."
Bitch, please. You didn't "come to your senses in time," your husband caught you doing something hot, and you were doused with a tub of water that you hadn't even changed yet, and this could destroy your marriage, and you injured your husband and the father of your child. You didn't hide the fact that you SUDDENLY discovered that the sea is still full of fish and you are flattered by the attention of other men. You're so righteous -at the first flirtation from the doctor, you should have said, "I'm pleased with your attention, but I'm married, so let's not cross the boundaries of a working relationship." And that's exactly what the doctor should have said: "I'm a free man, I can flirt with anyone I want, and you made it clear that you liked it, but you didn't stop me - how do I know what's going on in your marriage, maybe you're even at the stage of divorce, you're an adult woman with a head on my shoulders." And as a result, they made a heroine out of her - she accused everyone around her, in fact, did not admit her guilt, and got away with it, and that was because she was caught not hot, but only warmed up, and managed to justify herself "well, we did not sleep!". Ugh.

@RainyRainbow: because the script was clearly written by a woman, and in a woman's brain like a black strong independent woman can't be wrong, it's the men's fault. she wasn't "flirting back," but he "couldn't help but flirt because she's so fucking great, and he shouldn't have flirted at all, she's married, but if she wanted to, she would have fucked him"- woman empowerment moment in the post-mi-th Hollywood era.

@Jmann: That's right, it was very strange to hear from an adult woman.
And why did this conversation happen now, and not earlier, when her husband went to live in a hotel? So she's been doubting all this time? Have you been thinking? Was she still flirting with the doctor? And is the doctor to blame? Well, well.
@Jmann: I'm sorry, I wrote a couple of episodes ago, saying that Luna just realized that she was in love, but she wasn't going to bury her marriage. And here is such a dialogue, as if, in general, I really thought about this scenario, but the guy got an unsuccessful one. It doesn't match her character at all, it's just some kind of nonsense =/

What a warm and enjoyable episode at last. Without zuzu and other unnecessary nonsense. Slowly, the arch with the "betrayal" of the Moon is being closed.
Of course, it's a pity for Wesley, but I think that even though he will lose in this, there will be something more interesting next, still he is not a one-time character.

I also liked this trash with Bailey and John, it's even a little less annoying.

Finally, no FBI, special forces, etc.

And I agree with the previous comments that it would be a very emotional and sweet end to the season, but there are still episodes ahead, well, let's see what happens)

I'm still waiting to see where they'll put him, but they didn't just bring him back to hang out with Miles and get turned away at the airport. Something like a storyline "reward" at the end of his redemption arc.
