#7x07 spoilers

I feel like no one is talking about how cute Bobby was holding that baby this episode. Like I don't even want kids but I swear my ovaries were about to explode. And the way he holds her just really shows how comfortable he is with kids and now I really want flashbacks of him with his children as babies.

Now its got be thinking about how maybe in a few years Buck might have kids and him just handing them to Bobby. How Bobby will go full grandpa mode and absolutely fall in love the moment he holds them. And then I want Buck to ask him if he wants to know the baby's name and of course Bobby does. Then I want Buck to be like "it's (whatever first name I dont care) Robert Buckley, after his grandfather" and I want Buck to tell him this with a huge smile on his face. And I want Bobby to look at Buck with these soft vulnerable eyes as he realizes that he might not have got to see his kids grow up but he still got to raise one and now he has grandkids. And I want Bobby to tear up and hug Buck so hard while trying not to crush the baby and Buck to hug him back just as hard also crying. I also want Athena to be there with teary eyes and a soft smile as she watches her husband become a grandfather and her son become a father. I just want soft grandpa Bobby with Buck's kids 😭😭😭

If I had a nickel for every time Buddie has tried to move in with their gf, and they’ve ended up cheating on the gf around the same time, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice

JOEL Élite | 7.07

[justafaller]

I can’t get over the two truth and a lie scene from yesterday, it doomed Marisol before Kim even stepped foot onto screen.

Marisol has never tried a s’more which was a blatant show of her disconnect to Shannon, who Eddie is trying to find in her.

Eddie and Chris made s’mores together last season in order to keep a tradition they had with Shannon alive, because the Diaz boys are nothing if not consistent in their unresolved grief over her.

Each time they think they’ve found a way to move on, they discover a new issue in how they respond to situations that has been caused by the trauma of losing Shannon.

Anyways, back to Marisol never having had s’mores-marking her as decidedly not Shannon-to then have Eddie come across Kim, a woman who immediately brings back Shannon and her memory to him…he’s going to have to confront some pretty painful truths and it’s building up to be explosive.

No one will be able to measure up to Shannon…not even Shannon could.

Eddie has idealized her beyond reality, as if he’s trying to explain away the reason he hasn’t truly connected with anyone romantically.

If he can chalk it up to Shannon being the only one for him, then he won’t feel like he’s broken.

7x07 coda

Eddie knows that what he’s doing isn’t right. He knows that. That’s why he lies to his best friend. That’s why he lies to his son.

I mean, what is he going to say? “I saw someone who looks like your dead mum and now I’m going on a date with her.” He knows Chris would call him out. But he can’t not do this. She looks so much like her. Sounds so much like her. He gets the same feeling, the connection, the longing he had for her. 

He knows shes not her. He does. He tells himself one hundred times in front of the mirror after he sees her for the first time. She’s not Shannon. The hair’s all wrong. What he’s doing is wrong, he’s using her to fix some broken part of him that’s stuck in the middle of the street, lying on the road of the pedestrian crossing. So he knows it’s wrong, but he can’t make himself stop. When she asks him out for dinner he doesn’t say no. In fact, he says yes faster than he can even process her question. She smiles at him, her eyes crinkle at the edges exactly like Shannon. She tells him she can’t wait. He nods, smiles back. He can’t wait either. He ignores the way his insides squirm, begging him to think about his actions. He’s done thinking. This is his wife! How could he ever say no?

He wears the cologne that Shannon bought for Christmas. The last Christmas. She enters the restaurant and sits down in front of him. He tells her she looks beautiful, because she does, she always did. She’s wearing clothes that he knows Shannon would never pick herself but this isn’t Shannon, this is Kim. She’s close enough. 

She talks about her job, about her favourite things, and how much she likes the beach. Shannon always did like the beach. Eddie tells her about Chris. He cracks jokes he hopes will make her laugh and they do. He tries not to focus on the way her laugh is just slightly off in a way he can’t explain. 

Eddie pays for dinner, he pays as though he’s trying to make up for all the times that he let Shannon down. He walks her to her car. Lets her take his arm as though she belongs there. He kisses her good night. Ignores the way her perfume smells all wrong, smells too strong, almost pungent. Shannon always preferred muted scents, a floral hint. He kisses her anyway. Kisses her hard, like he’s trying to consume her, consume any piece of his dead wife that he can. 

She tells him she had a great time. She’d love to do it again. He nods and smiles as she leaves. Ignores the way his heart beats a little too fast. He watches her walk away.

His phone buzzes in his pocket and it startles him, his attention quickly turning from her. He wonders if it’s Buck. If maybe something happened to Chris. He can’t stop his mind from going there. 

It’s not him.

Marisol asks him if they’re still on for tomorrow. They had plans to try out the same restaurant he just left. Maybe that’s why that place had been on his mind. Eddie inhales. He ignores the tightening in his chest. It was his wife, he didn’t cheat. He’s already married. 

He’s sends his girlfriend a thumbs up. He bites his lip, wills the ringing in his ears to quiet. Tries to think of jello.

There’s jello in his veins, smoothly flowing. His legs are jello, arms are jello. Breathe breathe breathe.

He can’t breathe.

He closes his eyes shut tight. Clenches his fist until the nails dig into his skin. He inhales. Holds for four. Exhale. 

Opens his eyes. He can see the parking lot, the black jacket he’s wearing, his hands, knuckles white. He can see the dark night sky, a couple walking down the street.

He can feel the label of his shirt itching at his neck. Feel the cold air on his fingertips and the wind running through his hair. He can feel the weight pressed firmly on his shoulders.

He can hear his heart beating loud in his chest. The sound of someone laughing softly in the distance. A car beeping its horn.

He smells his own cologne. He smells hers too. 

Tastes the regret on his tongue 

He takes out his phone with shaky hands. The phone rings not even three times before Buck’s unmistakable voice sounds through the screen. “Buck, I—I think I’ve made a mistake.”
