8x12 Disconnected
This episode was way better (and different) than I feared.
It is good they addressed the trauma with Maddie they alluded to in last episode. JLH did yet again a wonderful job and I always enjoy seeing Maddie and Josh's friendship and seeing Sue as well. The breakthrough was a little sudden and wee bit magical but I understand they don't have all the time in the world. It gave us an amazing scene with Maddie and Athena, so that is a plus. I really like their relationship and I'm glad they remember it exists. And Chim and Maddie and Jee are the cutest and I adore their family.
I really wonder where they are going with the Diaz parents. Because while Ramon was trying, Helena was manipulating.
I did not expect the tone being more on the funny side for this episode. But they did a really good job. The balance was nice and Ryan was great both with the clowning and the despair. And I feel like the concerns of the fire captain are foreshadowing *fingers crossed*.
Gavin is so grown up and he and Ryan play off of each other wonderfully, still. Always. Loved that last scene. It was way overdue. And that little moment in the car was heartbreaking.
Eddie's adventures in ubering were fun and props to the girl for giving him pointers. He sorely needed them. I'm really curious how this will go moving forward. Because it kinda sounds like they are setting up for the long haul but also are maybe faking out?
Hey Chuck, what you are doing here? Always a pleasure. Now they just need to get Richard to direct an episode.
And now to Buck and Eddie and indeed being just a call or facetime away. I loved the domesticity of the calls and the support Buck was giving Eddie. They really are a pair, do not separate.
But I still can't wait for the Diaz boys to be back where they belong. In LA, with Buck.
Product placement count: 2. Or did I miss any?
8x12 Disconnected coming in hot with timelines right off the bat, have we fallen into an alternate dimension?
5 weeks since Maddie was stabbed.

The nightmare 😱 of Maddie’s kidnapping haunts her dreams and steals her voice. We explore how she navigates through this with the help of Chimney, Athena, and Jee.
Hen is feeling unimportant 🫥 when everyone but Athena and Eddie forget her birthday. 🎈 We take a look at how she turns her feelings of hurt and embarrassment into her best birthday yet.
It Girl, Eddie Diaz is the star 🌟 of this episode as we follow his journey in El Paso — the struggle to reclaim his identity and confidence in being a father in the face of unattainable expectations. The contrasting parenting styles of Eddie and his parents reveal how generational trauma can affect relationships, making it hard for Eddie to assert himself and advocate for Christopher.
We unpack his latest and greatest hits, including:
• Lying to His Kid Part 2
• Diving Headfirst Without a Plan
• Nervous Yapping
• Getting Steamrolled by His Parents
• Codependent FaceTimes with His “Best Friend”
• And more!
Luckily, Eddie has the good sense to continue taking Buck’s advice and communicates with Chris, then fully “Dads Up”, FINALLY 🙌 reuniting the father-son duo.
We hold your hand and tell you the latest foreshadowing 🕵️ for an Eddie (and possibly a Chris) NDE – the bus is leaving the station at some point and you never know what tree may fall during its route to L.A.! 👀
