Last seasons' seemingly fatal cliffhanger actually ended on a high note for most of the 118. Eddie not only survived the shot to his chest, but the sniper — a disgruntled former member of the LAPD SWAT team was caught by Athena, who made amends with Bobby and saved their marriage from destruction. Meanwhile, in addition to being named Christopher’s de facto guardian in case of accident, Buck and Taylor finally made their relationship official. Congratulations are also in order for Albert, who became a full-fledged firefighter in the episode’s final moments.
