Glad this had a happy ending. That is all I hoped for.

What a refreshing ending!

Warning: Spoilers
Pros and cons:
The cons: This is nitpicking. As the wave approaches the harbor, it looked so real. But when it hit the harbor, when the wave turned into white suds that waves typically become when it hits rocks, it looked a little bit fake. Ditto when it was being video recorded by the smart phone. He was moving the smart phone, yet the image on that screen was not moving with respect to the smart phone--it is as if the recording was already saved in the phone, and they are just re-showing it. But again, this is just nitpicking.
The pros: What can I say? It's a refreshing ending. Not just because Christopher survived the disaster, but because Eddie still knocked on Buck's door, and was still willing to drop off his son in Buck's care. It was refreshing and heart-warming because after all this, Eddie STILL trusts Buck.
And I like how Buck told Eddie that he failed him, but Eddie replied that it wasn't him; it was the tsunami that did all this; and that his son still raved that Buck was his hero. Amazing and touching moment!
"Next time, take him to the zoo--more inland, and no water." Haha! Good one.
Looks like Eddie missed out on that karma episode from an earlier season in which a tiger escaped from his cage.

"The Searchers"
allmoviesfan5 May 2023
It had to be a good episode to top "Sink of Swim" and I think "The Searchers" did just that, tying up plot loose ends as the tsunami that crashed ashore and destroyed the Santa Monica Pier finally loosened it's grip on the Southern California coast.
I mentioned how good I thought Peter Krause was in the last episode, and same goes for him in "The Searchers". He's an underrated star of primetime TV. I thought Oliver Stark as Buck - whose character I didn't really like in the early few episodes of the first season - did his best work thus far in 9-1-1. His performance packed a serious emotional punch.
Another episode full of great visuals. No doubt, the three episodes of this season are the best 9-1-1- episodes yet. Well written, well-directed, well-acted, well done to all.
