That was a fine episode, but I don't know if it really works as a finale. It certainly felt rushed and should have been a two-parter. I just feel like Athena was a bit off-character but that's fine.
The season itself is fine. ABC gave this show a bit of fresh air after two previous seasons that were pretty stale to say the least. They don't have everything right (the whole Eddie-Kim plot line felt super off-character for him), but at least you know, they try. One thing they also don't have right are the emergencies. It's supposed to be a show about first responders, and we've barely had any this season, so fix that for next time.
ABC also single handedly fixed this show's biggest problem: Buck. Let's hope they don't mess it up next season but it's a pretty big achievement to make this character consistent after how butchered he constantly was by Fox. The whole arc of him figuring out his sexuality is also great, and makes the character evolve a bit.
The Henren / Mara storyline was maybe the best thing this whole season, and I think Mara is genuinely a great addition to the show. I don't have many things to say about the others. It was a better season than season 5 and 6. Let's hope season 8 keeps it that way.
