Oh, the irony. The universe was literally showing all the women that Buck dated and didn't go well, showing him all the "wrong couches" in his life that he chose to sit on it in a similar way on how he was doing it with Natalia, and then the thing that made Natalia run away faster than a rocket was the sperm donation, the one thing that Buck believed it was the right thing to do, the one thing he did right.
Natalia was "seeing the real buck" (as he like to call) and it was too much for her as she did run away. Unfortunately, we know Buck is conveniently too oblivious to hear universe signs when the writers want it and we know by how they built this (and their habits on writing Buck) to where this is leading.
Don't even get me started on Eddie who is misunderstanding the assignment once again. The few things I liked about his storyline this episode was him helping with Chris project, and the fact he was shopping with Bobby in a very father-son way. It was cute enough for me to ignore the context of the talk, that is once again about his romantic life, and he is once again making a mistake (in fact he will kinda be a hypocrite if he proceed with this one, as he said to Buck that "dating rescue victims never go well".
I don't like the ominous messages we've got with Bobby and Athena here, I mean I'm happy they were being all cute, but Bobby mentioning to Eddie that him and Athena are about to celebrate their 4th year together paralleling that grieving wife telling Athena she and her husband were about to complete their 4th year together before the man died... was a choice. I chose to ignore it briefly because this show likes of throwing random parallels, but then there was the "Hold me and never let go?" line at the ending montage... That is clearly a ominous foreshadow... It's a very successful way of terrify a shipper indeed.
Honestly, I'm happy Maddie proposed, I don't think this plot needed to be stretched out that way, but I'm proud Maddie is the one making the choice, giving that step and Chimney deserved to be chosen. Finally they're engaged.
It's probably the first episode in a while I don't complain about the emergencies or the balance of the scenes, I think it did well. What killed of it being perfect was them once again shoving last minute Love Interests no one actually want for Buck and Eddie. However I don't think this ruined the entire episode for me.
