The dampness of most of Season 8 was on purpose. All in the context of lockdowns and Black Lives Matter meant that producing a show that painted cops in a good light was difficult, but they still wanted to wrap it up and give the characters satisfying endings.
The only other big show I can think of that even tried setting their episodes in that 2020 context (and a final season) was 'Superstore', and they had a similar problem, but still managed satisfying ends for their characters too.

Things were really nad at yhe time in the US. I think B99 was the only show still giving new episodes in the US at the time.

Also love to hear that you will be doing Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, sorry I mean, Never Stop Popping. I've alread gone into it in other comments so I won't drone on again, but it's such a good movie so I'm looking forward to that.

I have a theory that this episode (or at least the A plot) was originally S8 E1 before they re-wrote the season following the George Floyd incident and BLM movement in 2020. To me, its the first episode that truely feels on form with the previous seasons and the idea of "Balancing" childcare and policework is a natural plot idea after Amy giving birth to Mac in S7E13.
Either way, I really enjoy this episode. The Fransia case sounds like one of the most fun cases ever presented in the show, and having it all happen off screen to Boyle and how that affects Jake is a great plotline for his character and showing how much he has changed from the man he was in the pilot to a responsible father. Also the scene in the breakroom where Jake and Charles have to sing lullabyes to talk is probably my favourite scene in this season (or at least in the top 5 for sure, I haven't given it too much thought trying to think of others I like more).
