Mild spoiler maybe?
Station 19, wow! What are your thoughts on the newest episode? I don’t know what to think at all…
I don't know, anon! I feel like... It's temporary, right, most likely. They know what they have with these two and it seems too early, barring writing an actor off, to permanently split them up. And nor would it feel like a responsible arc, to have someone going through so many struggles only ever suffering and losing. They're putting a fair amount of time and energy into something that will presumably have a payoff.
But while this feels a possible culmination for what they've already been writing for them, I'm surprised they're taking it this far! What is supposed to follow from here? Especially for Maya? It's like when a cartoon falls through the floor and then instead of stopping at the next floor, breaks through that too and just keeps breaking through every floor of the building. When is the turn??
Whatever the resolution, it better be worth it, after everything they've put them through!

Harlem spoilers
I loved the finale SO MUCH omg like Quinn deciding to take time for herself is so unexpected of a storyline but so actually good for her? Like she has been dating nonstop since the pilot so I think a season 3 storyline where she’s by herself figuring herself out is so good.
Then Tye. OMG what a TWIST. Aimee being Zoe’s Mom???? OOH I’m excited
Not sure how I feel about Angie getting proposed because it is fast but also it does kinda work for a Angie tbh and we don’t know how much time has passed really they haven’t told us
Then Camille her finally finally buckling down and focusing in her career when she’s been all over the place career wise since season 1?? And Pruitt maybe deciding to fight for her to stay?????? My god.
THEN. THEN THE CLIFFHANGER OMG THE CLIFFHANGER. It’s gotta be Angie right? Her storyline is the only one that would work with a pregnancy! Quinn can’t find herself if she’s strapped to a baby daddy (also I think we would’ve heard if Grace’s husband was becoming a recurring? Like I know season 3 isn’t confirmed yet but I just feel like that would be something we would’ve heard about if they were planning on making him more than a cameo and they would’ve put more effort into Quinn and Keith’s relationship if that was the case) Then Camille this whole season has been about her and Ian and her eggs I don’t see them rehashing that. Then Tye obvi can’t be pregnant. So it’s GOTTA be Angie I feel.
Thank you for the spoiler warning!
I already spoke about Quinn in the previous ask and lol, the Aimee and Zoe thing is such a mess. I wonder if they'll try to have Aimee and Tye make a go of it but it'll be too weird in the ennd. The Angie proposal definitely feels early but I suppose there's no reason to not go ahead with an engagement if they're both ready, and they seem like they are.
Very happy to see Camille winning at work and making a decision about no kids and not feeling guilted because Ian does want them and she's cost him so much already, which, to be clear, she didn't make him do any of this, but she feels responsible all the same.
Now, the cliffhanger. Both you and the previous anon implied that it can't be Quinn because it'd disrupt her finding herself storyline but I don't know if the writers would choose storylines based on least disruption, in fact, I kind of think they'd go for max. :x
It's true that it'd fit so well with Angie's storyline, but that's why I wonder if it might not be her. Or if it is her, then Mike's not the father. There's no fun in things going smoothly, as we've seen with all the other romances. I doubt it's Tye, of course, though I suppose one can never rule that out, but we'll put it in the least likely category for now.
The thing is, unless this is the last season, a baby doesn't really fit the show's vibe, though I can see them being supportive through the season during a pregnancy and rushing to the hospital at the end of the season to all be there for the baby being born. But then how would another season go? Bringing a baby to their lunches or constantly looking for a babysitter? So I wonder if possibly they might go with an abortion storyline, in which case I could see that being Camille's very tough arc, knowing how much Ian wants kids and the improbability of getting another chance at a pregnancy vying with her career and simply being unsure about it all. It'd be another reason to keep Ian in the show, since Tyler Lepley seems a regular along with the main four ladies.
On the other hand, the show may not go with abortion and instead highlight the dangers to expecting Black parents through pregnancy, delivery, and after, in the American healthcare system. In that case, I could see it being Quinn after all. And the show might decide that it's not going to be pigeonholed as just friends drinking and hanging out all the time and slowly work in children.
The other thing to keep in mind is that while Angie's s3 would be filled with the engagement/wedding, Tye with this romantic mess, Camille possibly with her career (and maybe Jameson??), learning to be at peace with yourself is more a passive thing. So, if they're trying to plan s3 storylines, that might be how Quinn's goes.
On the other hand, that seems brutal for her, to go from depression to, well, an unwanted pregnancy, to put it brutally, to then what, an exhausted mother in s4? Plus, like you said, the thing with Keith was so weak, like a little placeholder relationship that only existed to not be significant.
Honestly, I've just spilled out all my thoughts and really have no idea which way they're leaning. It all comes down to the stories they want to tell.

“nor would it feel like a responsible arc”
I feel the same way but if there’s one thing Station 19 is not, it’s responsible lol. I remember thinking they wouldn’t possibly‘love confession’ away the cheating and then they did, and they they rushed into marriage after literally one conversation and then the whole kid thing. Idk I hope I’m not coming off as a hater because I love the show and get how they operate now but still. They manage to pick the silliest outcomes to their storylines every time. And for something so huge, I kind of want them to do better but something about this screams quick fix where Carina is once again minimally involved in terms of expressing herself and interacting with people that aren’t only Maya/Maya’s friends. I mean even the way they structured this episode was ??? I assumed she’d talk to Teddy (their involuntary counsellor since day one lol) but nothing. Not to say I hated the convo with Jack it was just weird how he made it about him? Didn’t even ask how Carina was doing yet it’s her wife… also this Jack thing. Why. It’s like the writers didn’t read the room re:cheating and think they unlocked some fun threesome lol. It’s a little annoying. I love his and Maya’s friendship and even think it’s cute how Carina came around but jeez, why are they trying to make him their third!
Haha, even as I was writing that myself, I was like, well, they've often failed at telling stories responsibly, but I DO think there's a difference between writing something poorly because of convenience (the cheating being resolved so quickly), because of intentionally setting up something (the marriage being rushed set up the next arc, the kids issue), or just because they don't know enough about a sensitive topic or worse, are carrying harmful biases about it.
It's very possible that they could write this Maya storyline badly because they rush it out of convenience or wrapping it up in a way that it's open ended because they'll come back to it again (I hope not, it's been going on for a while now), but I do feel this is them deliberately tackling Maya's mental health as a way to raise awareness about it so in at least that sense, I don't think they'll leave it at such a bad place that it'll just discourage all the viewers who're in the same place.

Harlem Finale Spoilers
I absolutely LOVE how they ended Quinn’s storyline for the season like this girl has been going through person after person heartbreak after heartbreak since the pilot and now she’s finally at a place where she can just sit with herself and decide for herself what she likes about herself first before jumping in again to any other relationships (one of the reasons i doubt she’s the pregnant one because that would disrupt her whole finding herself arc.)
Yeah, that was a super welcome surprise! I'm glad the show twice subverted what it was originally setting up, first by saying a nice trip can't magically "fix" Quinn, if she needs meds, she needs meds, and then secondly when she's baldly stating she only feels happy when in a relationship, yeah, maybe she needs to learn to be happy alone.
I'll answer the pregnancy part in another ask, but thank you for warning about spoilers!

have you read/will you read babel?
No/probably not.
I did debate it when I saw Fairyloot's cool ass sprayed edges, I can't help it, I'm becoming someone who's very easily won over by a fancy special edition, but my friend has a very good sense of what I like and though she loved it, she said I probably wouldn't and her reasons sounded pretty accurate.
