I just watched last night's episode. It was a beautiful farewell to AJ's mom. So sad but touching.
I could understand why Leela reacted the way she did to Pravesh's proposal. I mean, I know it was coming from a heartfelt place - and also a place where Pravesh clearly wants kids - but it would have been SO weird for all of them. I hope Leela either decides she wants kids or they break up because it isn't fair for such a huge life choice to be ignored just to stay together. And I say that as someone who really likes them as a couple!
So this is when Bell's going to get his comeuppance after the Board retaliates and digs up his solicitation conviction, right? I mean, it has to be.

I don't know how I feel about AJ suddenly wanting to become a dad now that his family is all gone. Granted I've never been in anything close to that situation but I can get twinsisters hesitation. They were never really a thing right? Just random hookups?
ETA- is it going to turn into an Ann Perkins and Chris Treagar situation?

I really don't like new girl doctor and her monotone voice.

I think there’s multiple layers to it and I can understand/maybe relate AJ is adopted, felt abandoned by his birth parents. He now probably feels very alone in the world. I also am adopted, I lost my (adopted) mother 5.5 years ago and my (adopted) father in January. I have had minimal contact with my biological family over the years. I have never felt more alone than I have in recent months. I’ve been clinging tight to my kids, my husband, etc. because there is a really difficult emotion tied with feeling like the ones who loved you best, knew you as a child, are now gone. So I could see why this might spark some rash decisions re: being a dad

As someone who recently lost someone it makes you think about your life and see things differently I think my hangup has more to do with him wanting to be a dad *with* twinsister as opposed to on his own like she originally wanted. In my head, he's coupling them for the foreseeable future.

Yeah I knew when AJs mom brought up if he was happy and all that, it meant he was going to change his mind. I get it, I think. I mean, I hope that Padma says yes because I would love to see AJ happy like that and also he seems mature enough to understand how to establish boundaries. I guess she'll have to decide whether her preference to be totally alone in it (which, maybe it is just me speaking from experience but girl, you won't want to be alone lol) is more important than having the sperm of someone who she clearly likes and respects and she knows would be a wonderful dad.

Now that we have lost my FIL our OAD status has wavered and a lot of it is my h who is now thinking about the future and dd's future etc.

I really didn’t care too much about last nights episode.
I think I’m just not overly invested in any of the currents storylines… so other than hoping for appearances from Gigi there’s nothing overly exciting for me.
There is one thing that bummed me out but I won’t type it out and risk spoiling it for anyone who didn’t see it yet lol

I do think they’ve tried but imagine it has to be really hard to lose such a central character. From what I’ve read (I take it with a grain of salt) they were a little surprised by her decision to leave and had to change tracks fairly quickly. I actually saw nic’s actress decided to come back for flash backs or something for the last episode and they put out a casting call for a 0-6 month old baby or twins that most people assume is for a baby Gigi. I also read about the thought process behind the jump (that we can’t expect Conrad to move on quickly and a season or more of watching him mourn wouldn’t make for an entertaining story.) I don’t even know where I was going with this 😂 I’m Rambling Tldr this went from being a favorite show of mine to one I’m watching out of loyalty than pleasure it feels like lol

I also agree about the time jump and I do understand that we don't want to see him mourn. It is all just a mess. I did read that about Emily coming back and what that is supposed to do for next season if they come back.

I'm super happy that that new annoying lady doctor is going to be no longer on the show. I didn't necessarily want her to "die" if she does, but I won't be mad at it.

I agree that it feels a lot less compelling than it did even last season, which bums me out. I really like a lot of the characters but especially after Billie's storyline being mostly tied up earlier, everything feels sort of lackluster. I don't know what could jump start it but we'll see.
I'm happy they figured everything out for AJ and Padma though. I'm sad about Leela and Pravesh but I think it was the right call for them both.

Like, these are two smart and equal partners. There is no way this wouldn't have come up in the last few years at some point. Pravesh sort of hinted at that in their argument when he said "I've never hid that from you", so I guess we are to assume that Leela was more hide the ball on what she wanted? Idk. It still seems very unrealistic that this would have only come to a head now rather than several years ago.

It also doesn’t help that supposedly the actor playing her son “exited abruptly” so it sounds like they can’t get him back to do any more work? Idk

I actually just watched one of the episodes with my husband a few days ago where Leela and Devon were just sort of starting to connect and he says he wants kids (in passing) and asks if she does and she’s like “sure someday, maybe” which she didn’t sound quite as sure as he did But back to everyone points it’s hard to believe they’d be 5+ Yrs into this, living together, and not know/have talked about it lol

I watched and I agree with everyone
I’m sad about Leela and Pravesh because I really liked them together but I am glad that they had them end because it’s real.
I wonder if Padma and Austin will give it a go together if they come back next season.

I do feel bad for Leela because I felt like she sort of had some crappy stuff happen in basically all areas of her life in a short period of time. (Regardless of which ones she did or didn’t being upon herself it was still a lot)
The stuff with Devon, Padma yelling at her, being told she has to pick a speciality ASAP, dealing with the guilt of what happened in the OR…

I was surprised/relieved. As much as I haven’t been enthused by this season, I do enjoy the show enough to keep watching and would like them to have a chance to regroup and move forward. I heard that the show Cain’s actor left for got cancelled. I wonder if that means he may come back even as a periodic guest star?
