Summary
Maverick really should have known better than to promise to settle things with Rooster after the mission and still expect them all to come through unscathed.Maverick’s second ejection in a month didn’t leave him quite as uninjured as he’d thought it had, and it’s Rooster that has to try to pick up the pieces. Luckily he has a whole aircraft carrier of people to pull him through.

Summary
After surviving the mission no one was expected to survive, Maverick expects his life to settle back into familiar patterns per usual. Penny, Amelia, and Bradley all re‑enter his life and old bonds begin to heal, which he's relieved and glad for. However, Maverick soon finds himself forced to confront a future that no longer follows a straight line nor resembles anything close to what is considered normal anymore.
