Now that I have had a day to sit and process the latest episode, I think I understand why Athena chose to send him home to Minnesota to be buried with Marcy, Robbie, and Brooke.
Her decision came from a place of love for Bobby and a degree of selflessness that you'd probably naturally show to your partner if they, too, carried the kind of baggage that Bobby did. In her mind, she was probably thinking that by reuniting him with his kids, she did her small part is lessening the burden he carried in his heart, and sometimes that can offer comfort in the face of overwhelming grief (which she will undoubtedly be experiencing in many shapes and form for a long time to come). So, I get it, I really do.
Am I personally happy about it? No. To me, Bobby and Athena were the last great loves of each other's lives. They found each other after surviving horrible tragedies in their own lives, and their relationship was so full of love and life. So I think they should have been buried side by side in LA, the place where Bobby got a second lease in life. But, I get why he was buried in Minnesota and I've made peace with it.
I am done with the show for good because it no longer really provides comfort, but I am grateful I got to at least go through this whole brainrot — the tremendous love I have for Bobby and Athena, as well as for Peter and Angela — with my friend (whom I dragged into the trenches with that one quintessential Bathena scene, you know the one 😏), and this comfort show, comfort ship, and comfort characters have provided me a distraction every time real life became too difficult to deal with. With Bobby gone, that comfort is also gone, and seeing Athena suffer so much in the aftermath doesn't really bring me any peace.
In another life, maybe Tim Minear would've allowed them to grow old doing laundry and taxes together 💁🏾♀️
