So, it's not the thing that happens so much that bugs me (though I wish it didn't happen) it's one specific part of the aftermath, I think, was poorly handled in a way the show rarely screwed up.

(Also, slightly off topic, but in my head the Machine is a teenage girl. You've definitely gotten to Grace, right? In my head, the Machine is like "Dad. Look at her, she looks nice.. DAD. NO I'M NOT MALFUNCTIONING. GO ASK HER OUT I NEED A MOM.")
