i'm sorry but this whole episode was so lazily written. even if chimney accepted maddey ran away way too fast —something that could be understandable,— buck's reaction was so out of character, even for him. he's always caring about maddey, always looking after her, always trying to defend her in any way. buck is a little bit of a paranoid, he's always jumping to conclusions, it would've made sense for him to think from the start that she was taken. » and why did none of them point out she left her phone? it would've made absolutely no sense that she'd left without her phone. and no one pointed it out? buck, hen? they all really thought she would've left without even leaving a note for jeeyun? not even eddie, the only other one who's the closest to know how it feels to lose a child, to know you're never going to see them again? » also, athena took way too long figuring out it was amber. from the very first minute in the episode she affirmed the last time she saw maddey was with amber, she said this repeatedly. after having a hint about the kidnapper being a woman, her mind really didn't go to her? » and maybe i'm being too much with this one, but am i the only one who was really confused when maddie figured out what happened to amber when she was younger just by looking ar some random newspaper clipping about some random unnamed girl killing her kidnapper? there were several of them, all about kidnapped or killed girls. why —and how— would she know or even assume that one clipping was about her? i'm not entirely against this way of piecing things together, but if she didn't even get any other hint before it just feels pretty forced. and confusing. i mean, it took athena, a police sergeant working with a detective, the entire episode and countless hints to realize amber was even taken when she was young— and it took maddie less than two minutes with no prior information. i was really loving this episode until i realized what they were trying to do with amber. there is not a single character with a personality or identity disorder —or any kind of stigmatized mental disorder, for that matter— in this whole show. the first one is a walking stereotype, horrible representation of DID, they make her a killer (wow, so innovative!) AND they kill her. but not before telling her "you're sick, that is not your fault" so they fullfil their fake progressive accepting agenda. okay. we know nothing about amber. we know she has DID and was kidnapped by a guy she had to kill later on to survive. since then, she started kidnapping and killing girls because, what? the guiltiness of killing that guy made her mind get ruled by him? because that's not how DID works. like, at all. i would've liked to know something about her. her motivations, her reasons, some insight into her mind. because if you want your audience to humanize her —as one would think of the line "it's not your fault you're sick,"— you have to humanize her yourself. is maddey being falsely empathetic with her the best humanization you could give? because that's what it was, false empathy. she did exactly what she did the last time, give false empathy to get away. making your only DID character a killer, no conversation, no explanation, no nothing about it, and shoot her dead, feels pretty dehumanizing. even if they do give her a backstory episode, there's really nothing that can fix this. ted griffin, molly savard, the writers for this episode, you really should read some DCM before doing this kind of thing. it's a quick, clear, easy read. plus, you won't end up looking like an idiot. by the way, did you know cops are trained to disarm armed suspects by shooting them on their armed arm? neither did i, considering how they're always waiting for their moment to kill people. not related to this show at all though. anyway. i'm truly not surprised but really disappointed at everyone on these reviews only caring about some ship's scenes. some of you should have some critical thinking.
