This was a good episode.  This is not the first time that a smart home has made an episode of a tv series.  In this episode it appears the smart house has taken control.  This freaks out a certain member of the 118 to the point that he no longer wants the internet anywhere around him.  I find this funny because I have spoken of things out loud and soon after I start to get ads for whatever I was talking about.  So maybe that is not actually funny but relatable.  This also has a story about a yoga teacher with a toothache that gets out of control.  We also get a bank robber using Covid to his advantage.  Like most criminals, he is not near as smart as he thinks he is. Buck also shows he is human, and  I really liked where his character is taken in this episode.  I think it shows him being more dynamic and having some problems that a lot of people face.  The final story is that Hen meets a fellow student that seems to clash with her.  The student is not receptive of Hen’s age, her help, or really anything about her.  She has one focus and that is to be a doctor.  I appreciate these interactions, and it seems a fairly natural interaction for Hen.

Overall this was a good episode with a lot of stories going on.  They all worked together and in many cases helped move the stories of the characters forward.  It does that without leaving anyone out and without it being in your face.  A good example of how all the characters can work together yet have some stories on their own.
