8x13 titled "New Tricks" and it's just the firefam hiding the fact Eddie and Chris are coming home from Buck. Buck is trying to train his dog who wants nothing more than to just sleep on the couch. They get a call to a gymnasium where someone tried to do a new gymnastics skill and ends up folded in half the wrong direction. Dispatch keeps trying to surprise Maddie with a baby shower but she figures out every plan but the last effort. Buck finally figures out the Diaz boys are home when Eddie can't stand all the 118's ridiculous ideas anymore and they just show up at the Buckley Diaz house to surprise Buck.

Better still, 8x13 titled "New Age" and It's Eddie and his mother in the aftermath of their NDE- either Helena makes it and gets her undeserved redemption or Eddie needs "sorry your mom died" flowers. Maddie goes into labor and Jee walks into the room with the Lees to meet baby Joy with a Big Sister tee shirt. The dog Buck adopts is a puppy that behaves less than Buck does and he spends the whole episode trying to train him until he gets a call from a hospital in El Paso.
