Exactly. Even if it was just a small role/appearance - the acknowledgment is what I was mostly looking for. I was worried that I wasn't going to get it on another show I currently watch - they're wrapping up with their final season this year and they brought back alot of the old characters for a final nod to the series. I was worried my 'favorite' wouldn't get honored this time either (since she was an unpopular character) but fortunately for me, I learnt that won't be the case. She's coming back too.
I think the one thing I wasn't expecting for S8 was for Billie to end up so alone. I mean, her parents dying too? Yikes.
