A recap of season 7Talking about the Season 7 finale, Bobby faced being replaced as fire captain after reconsidering his retirement plans. Eddie's secret relationship with a woman resembling his deceased wife caused tension not only with his live-in girlfriend but also with his teenage son, Chris, who chose to live with his grandparents in Texas. Meanwhile, Hen and Karen lost custody of their foster daughter, Mara, just as they were about to finalize her adoption. However, Chim and Maddie stepped in as temporary foster parents for Mara. Chim, who has experienced more near-fatal accidents than Buck throughout the show, finally tied the knot with Maddie in the last episodes of Season 7. Buck's parents grappled with his new relationship with fellow firefighter Tommy, a man. And if that weren't enough drama, Bobby and Athena's house was torched by a Mexican cartel.
