A bit more about 9.01:
~ It looks like Danny is also playing in the hockey game. In addition to Mac, Jo and Hawkes are in the crowd as well. (There may be others there, of course, but that's who I know for sure.)
~ As a random note, this episode clarifies that Flack's mother is alive.
~ Mac and Christine are still together, and she appears in the episode.
~ Mac tells Frank that he's doing well after being shot in the finale, but we later find out that he's been having some memory problems due to the blood loss, which caused his brain to be deprived of oxygen for a short time. These problems could be temporary or permanent.
As always, remember that spoilers are just
rumors, and are subject to change (a little or a
lot) between now and when the episodes air.
Memory problems? :wtf: Sounds a bit fanfic-ish cliche if you ask me.... not to mention that medically blood loss and subsequent oxygen deprivation has more immediate and generally more physical effects than memory loss. Retrograde amnesia is more due to a concussion type injury. And anoxic brain injury (which is what the spoilers are describing and which is what happened when he went pulseless for a while during surgery in the finale), results in stroke-like issues after the event, or memory loss and varying degrees of cognitive difficulties
combined with other deficits. But I digress. And I while I know it's partly the medical me taking issue with the inaccuracy TV takes towards the field, the whole 'memory loss' thing is really just SO overdone in fanfic that it would still rub me the wrong way.
Ok, mini rant done. :lol:
LOVE that Christine is mentioned and that they're still together and she'll be in the episode
And as far as Flack's parents go, nothing has been mentioned regarding their living/dead status that I know of.... Just that Flack has mentioned he'd kill for one his mother's corn beef (?) Wednesdays and obviously that his father was a cop.
