#911 season 8b specs

[buddiex911]

I do like the idea of a buck nde while eddie is in texas for the drama but I also need to see eddie let himself feel the full weight of buck’s life hanging in the balance without chris around to be strong for. I think it’s the only time he’ll let himself fully sink into the pain and grief because he doesn’t have anyone counting on him not to and I think that might be the thing that finally pushes him over the edge of why does this hurt so much (why does this hurt just as much as even more than shannon)

know it's for the better

9-1-1 on ABC | Buddie | 500 words | Season 8b Spec | eddie moves to texas, goodbyes, emotional hurt no comfort, evan 'buck' buckley needs a hug Buck lets his whole heart disappear across state lines because he knows it's the only right thing to do

Buck holds Eddie tightly against his chest and wills breath into the other man's lungs. He wills the world to keep him safe and watch over him in a place that Buck can’t go. Buck’s composure is hanging by a thread when Eddie pulls away. The way his fingertips drag across Buck’s ribs as he steps back speaks to the reluctance that’s taken up residence in Buck's chest since he first laid eyes on the cursed iPad.

Reluctant to let him go, to watch him leave, knowing that he can’t do anything but that. Buck can’t be that selfish, no matter how much he wants to get on his knees on this wet asphalt and beg Eddie to stay. Because he knows that Eddie’s going for all the right reasons and Buck wants him to stay for all the wrong ones. 

Eddie needs to be with Christopher, Christopher needs to know that his Dad is there, when he’s ready, whenever he needs. God, what Buck wouldn’t have given to see that same unconditional, unwavering love from his own parents growing up. 

Buck fucked it all up. He is once again too late, too slow, too little, too much. Too in love with Eddie to stand to watch him go, too in love with him to force him to stay. Because he knows, this is the only way this was going to end. 

“Call me so I know you’ve arrived safely,” Buck says firmly, his voice as steady as he can make it. 

Eddie watches him with those wide, dark eyes and Buck feels caught. The corner of Eddie’s mouth turns up slightly. “I will.” 

“Okay, okay you better go before the rain gets worse.” Buck forces himself to take another step back. 

“Right.” Eddie’s still watching him. He’s chewing on the inside of his cheek, a nervous tick Buck knows means he’s thinking too hard about something. He opens his mouth like he’s going to say something and Buck waits with baited breath. Eddie shakes his head and licks his lips. “Okay, I’ll—. Right.”

“Drive safe.” 

Eddie nods and steps back one, two, turn, three, four, truck door, step up, turns the key, starts the engine, five, six, pulls away from the curb.

Buck forces himself to turn his back, he can’t watch the UHaul disappear around the corner. He forces himself to walk back to the Jeep, to heave his wet, ponderous self into the driver's seat and catches the smallest glimpse of tail lights in the review mirror and snaps.

A cry tears its way up his throat, fists, and forearms smashing against the staring wheel as the anguish builds, hitting the horn at random intervals. 

Briefly, he feels bad for Eddie’s neighbors—who aren’t Eddie’s neighbors anymore.

His forehead falls against the wheel as he shakes and wheezes and tastes the salty tears streaming down his cheeks. Sobbing and hiccupping he wraps his arms as tightly as he can around himself and forces breath into his lungs.

They part at the airport

Buck watches Eddie leave

A heart thumps in his throat -

(His, Eddies, what difference does it make)

A Heart thumps in his throat:

Wrong wrong wrong wro-

Buck runs

Grabs Eddie, pulls, turns him around.

They look at each other.

“Buck?”

Eyes on lips, eyes on eyes

“I’m-“

Eyes on eyes, eyes on lips

(wrong wrong wrong)

“Just- call me okay?”

Cracked voice cracked veins cracked everything

Eddie swallows

Buck is dead Buck is dying Buck is-

“Because Evan”

Eddie nods

Eddie leaves

Buck stays

Buck stays αnd- Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

8b sneak peek

Ik ppl are speculating about buck having a near death experience in 8b/ Maddie not really being kidnapped and i do find some of the theories intriguing. One thing i do find interesting is the sneak peek. I went to rewatch it to see if the mentioned maddies name specifically or if it was just the clips that implied she was being kidnapped.

In the clip u can clearly tell the audio has been spliced together to make the sentence ‘he’s a damn serial killer and it looks like he took {Maddie} with him.’ With Maddie not fitting in naturally. It’s normal for shows to edit audio to create sentence that were/aren’t in the show to build a narrative. So this isn’t abnormal, in this case it feel as if it’s just the name that has been added in either the replace someone else’s or a pronoun.

I have a couple of thoughts and no one to share them with so here u go. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna try and cut shit down so it won’t be all my thoughts but hopefully it still makes sense.

Theory/Explanation 1: it being a different victims name (either the ‘first’ victim i.e. the initial case that alerts the lapd read:Athena to the serial killer. Think prehaps a missing person case and along the way Athena links it to a serial killer/ unravels the case to find more victim and/or a specialist team come in to now help with the og case cuz it linked with a serial killer. i this is where we’ll see the other female agents who’s seen listing of item in the sneak peak). I think i could be a sound bit from early on in the episode were the idea of a serial killer is still being thrown around and then they added Maddie to fit the promo. I think makes a lot of sense and probably the most ‘realistic/simple’ explanation but who doesn’t look speculation.

Another thing that I think helps back this is the use of the He/Him pronouns considering the clips really kinda imply it is a woman who sedates her. So the og audio could once again come from quite early on in the investigation when its assumed the serial killer is a man and less is known about em, or perhaps when maddie is being kidnapped it’s still assumed its a man.

So i guess this theory is more likely to be what’s happening but it’s fun to speculate.

Explanation 2:

I haven’t really been keeping up with the bts/filming so idk what episodes they filmed so idk if the clips shown are all gonna be for 8x09 or perhaps a two parter so 09 and 10, but i will assume they’re gonna just for one ep but let me know if u know more bout that.

But I could be fun to think about a world where perhaps initially maddie is the target but the kidnapper gets disturbed mid attack. It looks like it takes place at her house and it could easily be explained that chim and buck are on shift and the credits roll, but icl i just hate the idea of maddies second pregnancy being traumatic (not in a its shit writing but more just my beloved character let her have something nice). So perhaps buck or chin walk in on it and the kidnapper suddenly has improvise and takes her sibling/spouse (ignore what i said in the last brackets 🤧). I think this would set up a two-parter as this could easily be the cliff-hanger, and the second ep could see the spiralling of the killer as they have to readjust their plan/ they feel as their losing control. And we could see maddie then waking up and trying to help aid Athena in a similar way buck had during the Doug era. IDK this idea is very much half-baked but i think it be a cool misdirect.

[ohithankyou]

Most of the time, I'm pretty confident that Buck (Evan❣) and Tommy will find each other again because so much point to that!😀 But then I think about how this is THE season of missed storyline opportunities on 911 aaand I'm back to questioning my own reasoning.😭 And repeat, ad nauseam...

Stop gaslighting me, Tim!

ah anon i get it! me, i’m too hopeful for my own good and after the initial shock and upset of the breakup, i immediately found hope (one could call it cope lool) in the idea that buck and tommy could very well get back together. really, the only thing that made us think so definitively on the contrary were the interviews and after revisiting them with a clear head, i realized that they don’t make anything very final in the way it felt immediately after the breakup. and for me, it always comes back to how open-ended they left the breakup in the narrative. and not just open-ended like it could happen one day but one that leaves a lot of room for a make-up and reconciliation sooner rather than later. like. if buck and tommy hadn’t essentially declared their love for each other during the breakup and if tommy’s reason for breaking was something other than the fear of getting his heart broken one day, i think i’d be less confident. but their breakup, to me, only further established that they really are it for each other. in fact, the breakup made me believe in their love and want for each other even more so. and i think if tim had wanted to really end them for good good - and leave tommy as buck’s “first” and not his last - he would’ve went about it in a way where the breakup would’ve ended on more positive note. still sad but like - it was time to move on. but the fact that it was sooo devastating and heartbreaking …making us care about buck and tommy even more….i’d like to think that maybe it was intentional. especially when i go back to what tim said when he was talking about why he likes to break couples up:

obv this is mostly just my spec and feelings but i am hopeful and will remain that way until the end of 8B <3

So, Eddie will be gone for at least two episodes and a small time jump after Episode 10??

We know they've been filming in Eddie's house in 8x13, so either he's back or Buck has been staying there to look after the house. And then there's the video Ryan posted a few days ago where it's most likely certain that Eddie is back working for the 118...

So I'm guessing he leaves at the end of 8x10 and is back by 8x13 with maybe 8x12 been an Eddie/Chris centric episode?? 🤞🏻

So, ok, hi :D

It seems to be the current interpretation/speculation yeah. Let's go on walk together.

(you don't actually need to click on any links to read this. i just like ✨references✨)

Although we haven't seen Eddie in the teaser for the 8b opener, apparently the buddie goodbye hug was filmed for 8x10. Plus, it seems Ryan was on set for 8x13 based on when the video he shared was filmed, but it's only a fair assumption. I don't know where the time jump idea came from though, was it Jennifer/Maddie's long hair? She does have short hair in the teaser.

I don't know that they've been filming in Eddie's house. 1) If this is only about the clap pic for 8x13, to my eyes it does look like the rug from 8x08, but they've changed Eddie's living room rug before so who knows.

(5x14 -> 8x06 -> 8x08)

2) There's apparently other discrepancies. It's not obvious enough for my eyes, but I trust @lover-of-mine's.

Eddie will be back working with the 118, but the question of when remains. Even if we assume the 8x13 bts is indeed in Eddie's house, like you said it could be Buck haunting it house-sitting.

I would LOVE an Eddie Chris episode! I want to spend a whole episode in El Paso! :D

I can't wait to know what actually happens during episodes 11 through 13. What the themes will be, which characters they're gonna focus on, how much focus, etc. And then everything after that! We got a whole - well, a half - season of 911 ahead of us!!

see. when i say i don't do genuine spec because i don't have a speculative mind, that's what i mean. this is what spec looks like in my mind. listing all the possible interpretations of the little info we have and then not making a decision about which i want to support.
