��Someone me a single star on my review. This is tanking my ratings, Buck.”

“Maybe it’s a single SILVER star and it means you did GREAT!”

“No, Buck, it means I got a 1 out of 5. And I didn’t even get a tip.”

“If I were in El Paso, I’d give you a big tip. But uh… just the tip. No homo.”

“Buck….”

“Eddie?”

“Probably some homo.”

“Oh thank god.”

Buck, showing up to his first shift after Eddie starts as an Uber driver: “I can’t believe Eddie isn’t getting tipped on his Uber rides. They’re not even giving him a good rating either! He has a 2 star rating just because they said he talks too much! If I was Eddie’s passenger, I would gladly listen to him talk the whole ride and give him 5 stars. He has a Silver Star, how could you not listen to his stories and rate him 5 stars?”

Ravi: “If you mention Eddie’s name one more time, I’m tucking and rolling out of this fire engine.”

I also find it super interesting that both Buck and Eddie are acting counter to their normal MOs in communication with Eddie in El Paso. In 8x10 and that convo with Maddie in the kitchen, it’s heavily implied that Buck has not been calling Eddie, despite being encouraged to, despite desperately missing and wanting to talk to him. He’s curbing some of his clinging instincts, and we don’t get a canon reason why not, but I feel okay making my own fanon inference that he’s trying to let Eddie have his own space and adjust how he needs.

Then on the flip side, we have Eddie Diaz, who never talks about his fucking feelings, who literally would rather be in a fight club (although that was a long time ago and he had a lot going on!) than talk about his feelings, calling Buck literally constantly about every single thought and doubt he has. Certainly he’s asked Buck’s advice about parenting before, but I don’t believe we’ve seen him seek out Buck in quite this way before.

It’s just super interesting to see how the distance allows them to break down some of those past traumas around intimacy—for Buck, that he needs to pursue it, recklessly, or it will disappear and forget about him; for Eddie, that it’s unacceptable and terrifying to open up or admit weakness or failure—perhaps because they don’t have the implications of what that intimacy means staring them in the face anymore.

Can’t wait to see them have to navigate the barriers they’ve broken down when they’re back in person 😈

There is so much going on this season

A- Eddie did not need to buy that death trap he calls a house and move to El Paso. All he needed was a week and Buck to help drive. Go down there, tell Christopher he can hate you, but he will be doing it in LA, and tell the Devil...er Diaz parents if they don't butt out, you will cut them completely out of your life. Threaten restraining orders if you have to.

We all know Buck is a mess but Eddie is probably worse. The man has blown his life up how many times in the past two seasons? He did so because he lacks impulse control. He acts without thinking. He immediately goes to the most ridiculous course of action possible.

Eddie is just as, and I say MORE, messed up than Buck. He just hides it.

Didn't Eddie go to our favorite golden retriever disaster for advice and a pep talk? Exactly. Advice? From Buck?

B- That is huge. Why? Eddie Diaz, war hero and guy who has his shit together, is his totally messed up, out of order, confused, all over the place self in front of Buck. No one else in the 118 has a clue how mess that man's life is. But he doesn't hide it from Buck. He wouldn't even let Shannon see him break, but he doesn't hide from Buck that he is already broken.

C- Food and couches. Eddie and Buck. Even I can't deny it now.

D- It makes sense that Buck will not consciously admit he feels something for Eddie. Why? Everyone he has loved has left. I know this is crazy, but it's Buck, so his logic is illogical. If he doesn't love Eddie, Eddie will not stay gone. He won't lose him.

E- Buck admitted to having feelings for Eddie without knowing he admitted it. Freudian slips are real, yall. "I don't have to sleep with everyone I have feelings for and I don't have to have feelings for everyone I sleep with."

That idiot didn't even realize he was saying he has had feelings for someone but didn't act on them, but will jump into situationships with people without feeling anything for them. That second part is all his damn relationships on the show! Abby was just after he lost Devon. Allie was convenient and met during a tense moment and after just meeting Eddie. Taylor was after Eddie was shot. Tommy was after Eddie began dating Marisol AND Eddie began focusing on Tommy.

F- Buck telling Eddie he has to stay could have two reasons. Buck wants Eddie to be with his son. Buck also needs time to make sure he doesn't have feelings for Eddie.

G- You think this is a coincidence?

Eddie is bookended by his son and Buck who look similar. Buck and Christopher happen to be wearing almost identical colors? Look at the lighting. Eddie is in a darkened environment but Buck is surrounded by light and his background is home. It was like that every time in this episode. Eddie is calling his light and his home. But Eddie is not well.

H- Which leads me to this one. Mentally stable people do not quit their jobs without having another, buy a dump without seeing it in person, sink all their money into that dump, sell their truck to buy a used heap (isn't that the check engine flashing?) and drive for Uber. They also don't buy PS5s when they are broke to try to buy their child's love when they could have simply told Mommy and Daddy to get out of their house and their child to go be mad in his room. Edmundo Diaz is having a mental crisis and has been for a long time. I believe Buck subconsciously knows but he doesn't want to admit it. In his eyes Eddie is perfect and he won't let anything taint that image, BUT he will do everything in his power to keep that man happy and help him get better.

I- You know? Like you do when you love someone. What have the 118 said about love? Now look at these two. Seeing someone at their worst and loving them anyway? It means stepping into their mess?

Hmm. 🤔

J- It's only platonic because Buck did not know he was bi and Eddie thinks he is straight. They just didn't know. That happens. It isn't always repression or lying. Sometimes you don't know what you don't know.

But let's see if Minear is setting the stage for Buddie or, the only other option, the biggest queerbaiting in the history of television.

Buddie- All too well.

can not pretend (that it makes sense)

buck/eddie. 3603 words. complete. rated g. hurt/comfort, concussion, buck speaks spanish.

"The building is almost gone by the time they arrive. Plumes of black smoke fly into the sky like dragons, leaving crackling fire and destruction in their wake. What's left of the building creaks and moans, begging for someone to put it out of its misery. That's when Bobby speaks up. "Alright, team. The 133 has basically got this fire under control but they've brought us here to assist with search and rescue. It may turn into search and recovery, but I'll keep you appraised of any changes." Recovery. Like there's any chance of recovery for the families of people we find, Eddie thinks solemnly." or; Buck gets injured and loses his ability to speak English
