#9 1 1 speculation

[inwhichitumbl]

ok but what if a buddie secret relationship but it's secret from us the viewers.

i have no idea how they would do this other than we'd be getting typical buck'n'eddie moments and thinking they're even more insane than usual AND THEN AT SOME POINT SUDDENLY WE FIND OUT THAT NO, NO NO, NO NO NO, IT WASN'T TYPICAL AT ALL

i dunno, i just think it would be funny. and not even for just a single episode, i want them to really go to town with this. make it a multi-episode arc. i want us to be feral with the frustration of WHY ARE THEY NOT TOGETHER but then we get ACTUAL RESOLUTION

[fandomofisolation]

I'm not ready to believe that Buck and Tommy are done for good.

I'm just spitballing here, but I think I have some good reasons for that.

Here's why:

1.

Tommy agreed to go to Maddie's wedding with Buck and showed up still in his turnouts and covered in soot after a grueling 24 (?) hours of fire-fighting because he did not want to go back on that promise. And he kissed Buck in the middle of the hospital and allowed Buck to go into Chimney's hospital room with soot all over his face and met all Buck's family and friends.

Tommy was always talking about the 118 as a family and how he wanted to be a part of that.

Tommy took care of Buck when he dislocated his shoulder and slept over at Buck's place.

Tommy gave Buck a present for their six-month anniversary.

It's not giving "someone who doesn't think this is going to last". It's not giving "someone who is just here for a good time". What it IS giving is "someone who takes this relationship seriously". "Someone who just might be falling in love."

Here's what I'm thinking.

Tommy had just found out that his Buck is the half-her-age himbo that his ex-fiancée Abby dated after he broke off their engagement and "went a little crazy". Now, what we know about Tommy right now is that he has done a lot of work on himself, that he has grown a lot, and that he is a good person. I think it's safe to assume that he feels badly about breaking Abby's heart.

We've seen him talk about his past before, like on their first date or in Buck's loft when he made the "God I hope so" comment but he never really goes in depth. I think he's trying to shield Buck from his trauma. So yeah, when he talked about Abby, he's not gonna give Buck all the ugly details about his own journey. And of course the scene with Josh supports that with the comment about scars.

So Tommy is confronted with a visceral reminder of the woman he hurt. And he probably cared about her. And he probably feels bad. But that happened at a time when he was figuring himself out. He had just left the 118. He was dealing with some shit. He was doing the best he could. What's important here is that he was just embarking on the journey of embracing his sexuality. And for all we know, he might have been right around the age that Buck is right now.

So Tommy sees Buck as his former self. And all that guit comes back and turns into pure panic. Because if Buck is past-Tommy, then Tommy is past-Abby. And Tommy is not gonna let Buck do to him what he himself did to Abby.

But it's not about Buck. Tommy is projecting. This is Tommy's own regret and insecurity.

2.

There are some very important parallels in this episode that I would like to draw your attention to.

7.05: Buck and Tommy have their first date at a restaurant, which ends with Tommy leaving Buck standing in front of the restaurant alone because he doesn't think Buck is ready

8.06: Buck and Tommy have their six-month anniversary date at a restaurant and have a conversation that begins a chain of events which ultimately leads to Tommy breaking up with Buck because he thinks that Buck will break his heart

7.05: Eddie asked Marisol to move in with him, then freaked out and thought that he was going to have to break up with her but ultimately was persuaded that that was not the best course of action. (The fact that everything got fucked up when Kim came into the picture is later and has nothing to do with this. Marisol and Eddie were doing well after he asked her to move back out.)

8.06: Buck asked Tommy to move in with him and Tommy freaked out and "broke up" with Buck.......

7:05: Eddie is dealing with rediscovering a faith that he didn't think was still important to him, because the girl he is dating used to be a nun-in-training

8.06: Eddie is dipping his toe back into the pool of practising his faith and runs into the priest he confessed to at a juice bar, where said priest arguably may have been flirting with him

7.05: Eddie shows up to Buck's apartment because he doesn't know what to do about Marisol. Buck tells Eddie that he and Tommy were on a date but Tommy "dumped" him. Eddie convinces Buck not to give up and tells him to call Tommy. Buck convinces Eddie not to break up with Marisol.

8.06: Buck shows up to Eddie's house because Tommy just "broke up" with him............

3.

This show has a an established pattern of couples + second chances. Maddie even does a whole speech about it at one point.

Let's review:

- Buck thinks that Abby's complicated life is too much for him and tells Bobby that he thinks he's going to break up with her. Bobby convinces him not to and that relationship becomes the best and most transformative relationship of Buck's life...until now.

- Bobby and Athena start dating then have a fight about how Athena is ashamed of him and Bobby doesn't want to be a secret but Michael (Athena's GAY ex-husband..ahem..) convinces her not to give up on it.

- When Athena asked Bobby to move in with her (ahem), Bobby freaks out (AHEM) and we think he's going to break it off but he actually ends up proposing.

- in a flashback, we see that Hen and Karen broke up earlier in their relationship but Chimney once again got involved and got them back together by convincing Karen to try again.

- Hen full on CHEATED on Karen with her crazy ex (I know, we don't like to talk about it) and Karen moved out. But Hen fought for her and she came back. Now they're better than ever.

- Eddie and Shannon were separated for a long time, but they eventually got back together

- Maddie and Chimney were really good friends and falling in love but Maddie wasn't ready. And Chimney was sad but he understood. (2.08) Then Maddie decides to divorce Doug and asks Chimney out. (2.11)

- After Doug almost kills both Chimney and Maddie, they try to pick up where they left off but whatever they were about to have is gone and they're not getting it back. (2.14) But Maddie still won't give up and suggests that they try to have something else. (2.18)

- Buck and Taylor hooked up but fought about Taylor's journalistic ethics. However, they eventually reconnected and end up dating.

- Buck kissed Lucy and freaked out and asked Taylor to move in with him. When he told Taylor that's what happened, she was PISSED but they worked it out and she stayed.

- After Maddie went to Boston, Maddie and Chimney broke up because they grew apart, or grew while they were apart. BUT they continue coparenting amicably, have a one-night stand and buy a house together. And of course, get engaged and eventually married!

- Natalia learned about Lucy, Taylor and Kameron all in one night and decided that Buck's life was too full and too complicated for her. But she came back after realizing that Buck was worth it and the fullness and complexity was a good thing.

- We've already talked about Eddie and Marisol and Buck and Tommy the first time.

---

IN CONCLUSION, DO YOU SEE THE VISION??

I think that Eddie, once again, is going to help Buck gain some perspective and convince him not to give up on Tommy. I think Buck is going to fight for Tommy and Tommy is going to work through some stuff and realize that he was acting out of fear. And I think they're going to get back together!!

---

Note: This could work for bucktommy OR buddie end game.

Of the couples I mentioned in my list of second chances, the three main couples all stayed together, eventually getting married. But Eddie and Buck have each had 2-3 instances (Shannon and Marisol, and Abby, Taylor and Natalia, respectively) where their relationships seemed like they were going to end (or did end) but they worked through it, AND THEN LATER actually did end anyway for a completely different reason.

So what I'm saying is that Buck and Tommy could end up like Bathena, Madney or Henren, or they could go the route of Buck's and Eddie's previous relationships and eventually end, which would be very sad but okay as long as it were for a good reason.

Okdokie so with the tizzy that one daddy issues joke has caused let’s get some shit in order. First off Buck starts the conversation not Tommy. Like you can not tell me that the smirk that man had was not him goading Tommy. He absolutely knew what he was doing. Aside from that I want to point something out. Buck is a grade A researcher right? So he most definitely did a deep dive on queer history when he discovered he was bisexual. You know what part of the research may have included? Kink. Additionally tho Buck is a grown ass man who has every right to do as he pleases. And for fucks sake, if he was uncomfortable with the comment he would have said so. Also I’m pro buck has been pegged before cause the man has no shame.

“So maybe be both have daddy issues” aka we can take turns but like me first.

8x07 starts with Buddie on Eddie’s couch when the doorbell rings. Buck’s looking at Eddie like “who would be here at this hour that isn’t me?” And Eddie is clueless too and he goes to put on pants cuz Buck is already inside so there isn’t anyone else that he would be willing to open his door in his underwear for except for Chris, but he’s in Texas, or so Eddie thought. Because he opens his door and Chris is standing there with all his stuff. And apparently he somehow sensed that Eddie got over his issues and told his grandparents he wants to go home and they think it came out of nowhere. But in reality, Chris is magic.

actually loosing my mind tryna figure out if Denny Wilson is going to die or not

SO

here's what we know

car accident happens Halloween night, which makes sense to be the last part of the episode and have the rest of the decorating and other shenanigans happen before since I doubt they'd be doing any extra celebration after the actual day

but then there's the matter of Bucks dislocated shoulder and him very much being there at the Denny call, which confuses the timeline a bit more (unless this episode is deserving of a medical inaccuracies tag and they just said fuck the normal recovery time bro is A OK after a couple days ... which ... is more likely than i care to admit)

because if they kept the recovery time accurate it'd be at minimum a few weeks, which means the pumpkin call and Denny call would have to happen before that, unless the episode takes place over a several week span, which it might, but they don't usually cover that much time per episode so I doubt it.

so on the one hand, if it does happen before then that means Denny is not dead because Mr. Eddie Diaz would not be sitting there giggling gayly at his manwhore malewife work husband real husband Buck if their friend's kid had just died

BUT

the dislocated shoulder is the start of the curse, it seems, which should be happening earlier on in the episode so there's time for the other curse manifestations and the buddie holding hands in the loft scene and however that plot gets wrapped up

but then ... why is Buck at the Denny call with a recently dislocated shoulder

honestly the theory that makes the most sense is that the Buck incident happens early on in the episode, I'm thinking either the episode starts with the firehouse scenes with the corpse cosplaying as bachelor party Eddie incident, and then the pumpkin call happens after and maybe that's when the buck incident happens, OR it starts with the pumpkin call and then firehouse stuff and some unknown call after for the Buck incident, and they just said fuck accuracy he's totally fine power of bisexuality and all that jazz, so the loft scene happens some time shortly after and the Denny call happens more towards the end of the episode

which

really doesn't help with the actual dilemma of whether or not Denny dies, because with that logic everything we've seen probably happens before that so we have no evidence to snack on of anything that happens after

so

in conclusion

I am confused

the end

[livinginikedworlds]

i know it's unlikely but I'd like a eddie nde again, i think the last one for him was the bridge collapse but that was such a bad episode not even the nde were developed right.

buut my line of thinking is.... if hes hurt chris comes back..... theres no way ramon and helena could keep him there if eddie got hurt, even if was a tiny 2 days hospital admittion

and with another nde we fast track him on his gay realization like would get after the shooting

therefore I think eddie should get hurt in this episode however i also would accept a buck & eddie coletive nde with thats more to your taste

[9-1-1-on-abc]

I think that Buck won’t just be clipboard Buck when helping plan madney’s wedding but he’ll be clipboard Buck 4.0 aka ultra clipboard Buck

Don’t fight .. just vote !! Please ..

Looove your tags. We def need Taylor and Lou on this with like the firefam. Lol

YEAH!!! I am hi-fiving you so hard right.now

[meep-meep-richie]

So who would have thought that Buck would end up raising his sperm donor baby with Kameron

[fawlke]

9-1-1 6x18 Speculation.

I'm wondering if the firehouse and Buck's loft are in danger as technically they are Fox sets so ABC will need to buy them or build them and we know Buck's loft cost a lot to make.

I don't think Chris will be on the bridge I think the looks of horror are for Bobby falling.

I think Buck's new couch will be damaged through either Earthquake or Kameron's water breaking.

I think the series will end with all couples sitting at home with their families and Buck will be where he belongs on the Diaz's couch.

Though I hope for it I don't think we will get a pushed to breaking point, last minute love confession between our boys as there is simply not enough time to process it.

[lestappenwdc]

What if Eddie runs to the ladder waiting to climb and get to Buck but he gets electrocuted by the metal when he touches it and that's what the other clip is????? And then ghey take both of them to the hospital but Eddie wakes up first and immediately asks about Buck 😭😭😭

[duckduckbuckley]

Something I would love to see is Buck take a vacation. He is secure in his place on the team. He’s in a (presumably) steady relationship. He has the family he always wanted. Now I want to see him take a break from that job and not worry that his whole life will fall apart just because he leaves for a week. Also like how much time off does he have racked up.

[neptune-scythe]

I am sick of seeing shirtless Buck but I need him for my research

[9-1-1-on-abc]

I think that Bobby had a ok relationship with his parents but they stoped talking to him after the fire and in season 7 they will show up at his door and apologize.

i hope buck, eddie and shannon are haunting helena through chris rn. i hope when chris rolls his eyes and snarks back helena freezes reminding her damn well who his father is. i hope when chris bites the inside of cheek and is suddenly really interested in his hands when he’s nervous about something helena scrunches her eyebrows in confusion bc she swears she’s seen it before and her eyes widen as she recalls eddie’s friend, the same friend who was there when they picked up chris, having the same mannerisms when eddie and his team came to texas. i hope when chris asks for the ice cream from the store 45 minutes from their house near the park and he picks rocky road helena swallows roughly bc shannon would do the same when she missed eddie and/or was sad. i hope she’s violently reminded no matter how much she pretends, that child will never be hers in the way she’s so desperately been trying to make it be for years. i hope she’s reminded of her damn place in chris’ life.
