Most Memorable Scene: Eddie talking to Chris at the Chess Tournament

I love this scene of Eddie going to his son Christopher's chess tournament in the 9-1-1 episode Invisible (season 8 episode 13). Because prior to that, wanting to go to the tournament was on his mind. However, he didn't think he should go after talking to his mother Helena in the grocery store parking lot. And not to mention his mom and his dad Ramon have pushed Eddie to the sidelines making him feel like he's an observer or outsider to raising his own son. And because Eddie was still holding on to that guilt (about the Kim situation which still hasn't been dealt with) he didn't think he should fight for his son. Especially since he thought or believed Chris was thriving and doing really well with his grandparents.

Which is why I'm glad Eddie did go to the chess tournament because he found out the truth. Although Eddie believed his son was doing really well with his grandparents, he found out how stressed Chris was over playing chess and that he didn't like playing it. But what makes the situation so sad is that Chris went along with playing chess despite not enjoy playing it. All so he wouldn't disappoint his grandparents. They made him feel like he couldn't go to them and tell them he didn't like chess. I'm so happy that Eddie went because he would have continued to believe that his son was doing better without him which is so not the truth.

Now that Eddie and Chris have reconciled and Chris will be moving back in with Eddie, I hope this El Paso storyline will finally start to be wrapped up. I can't believe the Showrunner and writers thought it was a good idea to isolate Eddie by keeping him in Texas which resulted in him not being there for the big contagion emergency. Especially since Eddie is a former military medic who is familiar contagions. I don't know, the show and the 118 feels so off when any of the member of the team is not there and most especially during a big emergency like this. Anyway, I'm happy Eddie and Chris have made up and hopefully will be figuring out a way to move back to Los Angeles.
