and abuela dying may not have been necessary but it could also be exactly what he needed.
things weren't great between them when shannon died, and he wasn't even there when bobby died. but with abuela, he got to spend some pleasant time with her, open up to her, tell her how much he means to her, and have an actual meaningful final interaction with her.
so unlike shannon and bobby, there are no added regrets. grief, yes. but no regrets.
and another thing i noticed (that might also be reaching cause my comprehensive skills usually suck)
abuela's death kind of concludes eddie's journey with loss. from denial to anger and depression to acceptance.
denial for shannon's death and how he tried to replace her, anger and depression for bobby's death and how he blamed himself for not being there and lashing out at buck because of it, and acceptance for abuela's death but also for the previous two, putting shannon and bobby on that altar next to abuela and truly saying goodbye to all of them once and for all.
i'm just gonna hold out until the end of the season because maybe the reason the writing choices seem so horribly thought through rn is because we don't have the full story yet.
