Recap / Red Vs Blue S 17 E 8 Finally

Finally

The Reds and Blues get to work fixing history.

Tropes

• And This Is for...: When Grif ends up in episode 100, he realizes that Genkins is possessing Tex and trying to stop Tex's ship from blowing up. Taking a missile launcher, Grif mutters, "My testicles send you their regards, Tex, you metal bitch." before firing.
• Cutting the Knot: Huggins saves everyone from needing to relive their entire lives since her being made of light allowed her to accelerate through time by flying close to lightspeed. She can scout ahead, watch for where alternate timelines are created, and then report to Caboose in the future so he can travel back and share the info with everyone else.
  Grif: You just saved us, so much bullshit... (sniffles) Thank you.
• Internal Reveal: Grif finds out that Huggins is actually alive, and meets her.
• Locked Out of the Loop:
  • Church, unaware of the temporal shenanigans the Reds and Blues will get into, is flummoxed at the two teams suddenly being friends.
    Chruch: What are you all talking about!?
  • When Donut explains that since they don't know the exact moments of each paradox and need to relive their entire lives to correct any they come across, Lopez gives a quick "Understood" and travels back in time to live out his entire life again. This unfortunately causes him to just barely miss Huggins explain how she already scouted ahead, found all the paradoxes, and reported them to Caboose.
• Not Hyperbole: When Huggins says she can't stay mad at Grif for causing a paradox, she means it; Time is broken from the point Wash was shot.
• Revenge: Grif takes revenge on Tex for all the times she inflicted Groin Attacks on him in "This One Goes to Eleven" and "True Colors", by blowing up her ship with a rocket launcher.
• Skewed Priorities: Sarge loves reliving deleting the Blues from Project Freelancer's database, remembering it as "the best day of his life", that he constantly revisits it to do it over and over again even after thwarting Genkins instead of finding more paradoxes to fix.
• Smart Ball: Caboose continues holding it from the previous episode. First, he is able to calm Church down by convincing him this is All Just a Dream, before revealing he and Huggins found all the paradoxes already, and then when Simmons is still confused on why they need to relive events to fix them Caboose compares it to fixing a gap in a zipper and that they are "rezipping time".
• Time-Travel Tense Trouble:
