Hen and Karen's Vow Renewal Ceremony Deserved More Time

Happy 9-1-1 Monday! I still find it disappointing that in the fifth season finale episode Starting Over, the Showrunner and writers wasted so much time on random emergencies that ran way too long. Instead, that time could have been used for Henrietta "Hen" and Dr. Karen Wilson's vow renewal ceremony. This was a scene that felt so shortchanged because it could have truly used more time. Because their renewal was lumped into the ending montage that focused on all the main characters instead of letting this moment have the time it needed to shine.

I really would have loved to have heard their vows or anything else the couple may have said during the ceremony. From what little that was shown of the vow renewal ceremony, it looked beautiful. But they needed more time devoted to this scene. I also would have loved if more of the reception was shown besides the Athena Grant and Robert "Bobby" Nash scene of the couple planning to finally go on their honeymoon. I would have loved to have seen Hen and Karen's first dance and not to mention the toasts their family and friends would have given in their honor.

And on one final note, to add to my point about shortchanged scenes, the same can be said for Athena and Bobby because when they got married back in the second season finale episode This Life We Choose, it was also during a montage scene. And it would have been nice to have seen more of their wedding as well.
