When I saw Dora and The Lost City Of Gold I found out it had some stolen plot elements from Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie. I really think Craig Bartlett should sue the people who made Dora for stealing his own ideas without even asking.
Feel the power of the wave in this jaw-dropping oil painting by @theBoBartlett - "Lifeboat"!

In an alternate timeline, Jack Bartlett managed to get over his broken love, and continued to improve his flight skills. Eventually, he obtained more fame and fortune, and customized his craft into a beast.
I wanted to show that Bartlett is willing to return to Fairview and make contact with the people who remind him of his painful past after speaking to Graham and Lucy
(Also, I wanted to give Haddock something to do lol) #GHliveblog
The Affogato ep needed to happen, but I was worried that after the catharsis of the previous episode, having Graham pull Bartlett away would ruin the momentum
I’m glad I did include it though—Graham needed his arc completed with this convo #GHliveblog
The idea was that there was no reason for them to have met with both Bartlett and Lynn gone
That they DID meet years later, and happened to be just the right people to support each other through their troubles, is the miracle #GHliveblog
It had to be Bartlett who absolved Lucy of her guilt—he doesn’t represent Lynn, but he understands her in a way no other characters do #GHliveblog
I was conflicted about Graham following Lucy to Marion! Lucy needs to talk to Chef Bartlett on her own—but I knew that afterword, Graham needed a chance to speak with him too #GHliveblog
I wanted to emphasize that the people Lucy can best commiserate with isn’t Graham—the two of them being in love won’t fix Lucy’s grief
Bartlett and Colby are the ones who most understand what she’s going through #GHliveblog
I wanted a moment for Bartlett that felt more solid and immediate than just thinking “I miss her”—him realizing that he’ll have to change his emergency contact was one of them #GHliveblog
Colby isn’t overprotective of Bartlett because he doesn’t want to lose another parental figure
Colby is protective of Bartlett because they both lost parents when they were young, and Colby doesn’t think Bartlett deserves any more suffering in his life #GHliveblog
Lucy and Graham have both experienced an interrelated loss, but at this moment, Lucy realizes it’s not the same loss
Graham wants to talk to the other chefs who also lost Bartlett; Lucy wants to talk to someone who also lost Lynn, or their family
#GHliveblog
Even though there’s no words, I hope it was clear that Lucy’s burning the candle at both ends between her job, friends, and search for Bartlett! #GHliveblog
I still feel weird that I didn’t actually show that much of Bartlett mentoring Graham??
Their relationship is supposed to be a profound mentor-student relationship, but... I kind of only show peeks of it, and the effect of Bartlett’s disappearance #GHliveblog
This is sort of the precursor to Bartlett’s “The last, most important thing Lynn left behind was you”
You don’t need huge gestures to honor the loved ones you lost—living your life well is enough! #GHliveblog
I saw a lot of (fair) comments saying that Bartlett, Palmier, and Charlotte should have helped Lucy after Lynn’s death
But tbh, I’m not at all close to my parents’ friends either? And the Dimanche founders didn’t even see Lynn that often near the end #GHliveblog
Final #GHliveblog for the Finale/Bartlett arc, LET’S GO
As always, I’ll use #GHliveblog if you’d like to mute it!
In the Bartlett arc, Lucy says “I don’t think this is the sort of thing that can be fixed by another person”, and she means it like this—both she and Jacobi want Lynn, and no one else will do #GHliveblog
