Do you think Athena was a little like "shit, this is NOT the voice of reason I need" when she saw Buck was the one who got out? Not because she doesn't love him, but he's the one that will match her freak about getting them out the most out of the 118. Like Bobby, Hen, & Chim would be wild too, but at least more reasonable. Athena knows Buck will encourage her to shoot her gun at the doors, and she just might do it.

And-and you. You're just moving back to Texas, mm, like it's nothing, it doesn't affect anybody else. It does.

Forever in my heart.

Buck and Tommy.

So Buck treats the 118 like a cult follower treats a cult; they are his everything, he has nothing outside of them, he cannot function without them. The reason he needs friends and connections outside of the firehouse are exactly because of this issue the episode is illustrating: he has no one to fall back on if something happens to them, apart from his sister, who will also need support from others - and has Josh and Linda to provide that, and Athena, who has her children - children who coincidentally show up for the first time in a while in this episode to remind the viewer they exist.

That's why Eddie isn't in the episode: to create that separation from the cult of firefighting in Buck's mind. He will have Eddie even if he stops being in the cult/being a firefighter.

You can complain about Eddie not being here sure, but you need to look at the long term reasoning and the character arc they're creating for Buck, the one singled out and on the outside.

Ma’am, I’m not Satan. My name is Buck

look, I love Buck so much, but he 100% would go out and get a "RIP BOBBY NASH" tattoo big on his chest with like the dates and like the outline of a mac and cheese noodle & a ladle or something immediately after the wake only to have Bobby come back like an hour later.
