Art of the Day: Maddie, Jee-Yun and Chimney (9-1-1)

Artwork: Maddie, Jee-Yun and Chimney by buckleyhan-art

As much as I'm looking forward to Maddie and Chimney's upcoming wedding, I just wish for once 9-1-1 didn't have to make everything so dramatic and out there. I wish Chimney and Maddie got to have that beautiful dream wedding instead of the typical disastrous one with apparently Chimney possibly being abducted and they have to try to find him.

I know The Rookie somewhat recently had a wedding episode The Hammer (season 6 episode 2) with Bailey Nun and John Nolan getting married. And the wedding was absolutely sweet and lovely and romantic. So the 9-1-1 writers probably don't want to go in that direction and plus the show isn't usually know for having normal moments. I wouldn't be surprised if Maddie and Chimney probably end up getting married at the hospital after Chimney is found. I guess I was hoping that their wedding day would be romantic and special. These two have been through a lot and having something that wasn't a complete disaster would have been wonderful for them. I'm sure the writers are going to give them an interesting wedding but I just wish it wasn't going to be in the usual 9-1-1 fashion.

Quote: Maddie Buckley, Howard Han and Jee-Yun Buckley-Han

Maddie: You know, it's not like we intentionally meant to do something wrong.

Chimney: Maddie, it's the IRS, they don't care about intentions.

Jee-Yun: Ice cream.

Maddie: Oh, great. You're supposed to be in bed.

Jee-Yun: Ice cream.

Chimney: Might as well let her eat some. Could be the last time we have a late-night snack with our daughter before they haul us off to jail.

Maddie: Shh.

Jee-Yun: Papa jail.

Happy 9-1-1 Monday!

I just adore the Buckley-Han family. I still wish the tax storyline wasn't connected to Chimney and Maddie getting engaged. The showrunner and writers should had them get engaged before introducing the tax storyline. Then it wouldn't seem as if their engagement was due to some accountant suggesting they get married to avoid another issue with their taxes.

I'm happy they are engaged and that they will be getting married next season. I hope it will be a beautiful, romantic well-written event that doesn't happen in a montage scene. Which is what happened with Athena Grant and Robert "Bobby" Nash's wedding in the second season finale as well as with Henrietta "Hen" and Dr. Karen Wilson's vow renewal in the fifth season finale. So here's hoping it won't be repeated for Maddie and Chimney.

Happy 9-1-1 Monday!

I just adore the Buckley-Han family. I hope the Showrunner and writers will do a better job with Maddie and Chimney's relationship in the seventh season than they did in the sixth. Because during most of the sixth season their relationship seemed to be developing off screen. It wasn't until the last few episodes of the season did their relationship finally start to get more screen time. I'm really just hoping the writing in general will be good for the seventh season. Well, here's hoping.

Jee-Yun: Mama.

Maddie: Did she just...

Chimney: She recognized your voice.

Maddie: How does she remember me?

Chimney: Of course she remembers you. Six months, six years. Neither of us could ever forget you.

Most Memorable Scene: Maddie proposing to Chimney

It's 9-1-1 Monday! And as much as I thought the sixth season wasn't the best, it felt like mostly filler episodes leaving most of the main characters with nothing to do story wise for 18 episodes. Love in the Air (episode 17) is not one of my favorite episodes, it's okay. However, one of the best things about the episode is Howard "Chimney" Han and Maddie Buckley getting engaged.

In the prior episode Lost & Found (episode 16), Chimney was planning to propose to Maddie however, the ring went missing. This would become a running gag for both episodes with Chimney stressing out and Maddie eventually finding the ring. Which would lead to this wonderful little proposal in Love in the Air. It may not have been the proposal Chimney was planning but it's definitely something that's very special for them.

I like this scene because although Chimney and Maddie were still broken up (from last season), they still care about (and love) each other. And they were continuing to do a good job co-parenting their daughter Jee-Yun. Since Maddie's apartment was having plumbing problems (I believe a pipe burst in her kitchen), Chim didn't want her to have to try to find a hotel at the last minute when she could easily stay with him. Which is why I'm glad the writers didn't drag out their break up and they got back together at the end of this episode because they truly do love each other. And as a fan of these characters and their relationship, it's good to see these two happy and together.

Chimney: Is that the landlord?

Maddie: Yeah. I should have water by tomorrow. Or Wednesday.

Chimney: Sounds like your landlord needs to find a better plumber.

Maddie: Yeah. And I'm gonna need a hotel room because I can't go four days without running water.

Chimney: You know who else has running water? Me. Why don't you just stay here? I'll crash on the couch. You girls can have the bedroom.

Maddie: Yeah, I wouldn't want to impose.

Chimney: Maddie...we're still family, hmm? That's what we do. We look out for each other. Don't we, Baby Jee?

Evan Buckley and the Relaxing Benefits of Coloring

In Monday night's 9-1-1 episode What's Your Fantasy?, Evan "Buck" Buckley was babysitting his adorable niece Jee-Yun Buckley-Han and one of the first activities they were doing was coloring. However, it didn't go so well with her being so active and energetic and running all over his apartment (it's a really funny scene) until she tired herself out and was sleeping upstairs in his bedroom.
