listen if Buck had seen Eddie say "didn't want him to lose his seat on the bus" to his mom with that little smirk on his face there would be no WAY he could pretend he wasn't head over heels in love with him because NO ONE COULD RESIST THAT

What broke me the most this ep was Chris saying “you’ll be my dad again” (something like that) as if he hadn’t been his dad all this time. Eddie’s been raking himself over the coals because all he wants is to be Chris’s dad, and he’s felt like he failed him. And now Christopher phrases it in a way to makes it seem almost like Eddie chose to stop being his dad instead of how we (and Eddie) see it with Chris deciding to leave. A huge perspective difference.

It’s the classic “you left” vs. “well, you let me go.” Eddie felt like he couldn’t (and was told he shouldn’t) chase him. Maybe Chris wanted to be told no. Or he had instant regret but didn’t feel like he could say so bc Eddie let him go.

I think it all boils down to how we all felt when it initially happened. The 14 year old shouldn’t get to call the shots, and the grandparents shouldn’t be able to override the parent, who is both competent and loving. Eddie got steamrolled when he was vulnerable, and bc he felt so guilty that it gutted his dad self-esteem, he let something happen that wouldn’t normally have been a consideration. The Diazes weren’t swooping in to rescue a child from a dangerous situation, a neglectful parent, or extreme hardship. They took him from a loving home where mistakes happen, but they’re recoverable bc of unconditional love.

I think this scene shows that it’s been hard on both of them, and much like Eddie had to hide his true feelings growing up there, Chris has too.

Which is one of the possible reasons they’ll be back in LA before long. Eddie needs to get him back where he can be himself.

ok yes i wanted eddie to yell at his parents but also the way he was so confident in himself and his role as chris's dad that he didn't need to? so good. just strolling in with a smile, packing up, not taking her bait. because she's not worth his time or energy and he can see that now!!!!!! but also (and crucially) he was still a bitch <3

Eddie could’ve been a lot meaner. He had every right to be meaner. He could’ve made her cry. He could’ve taken Chris completely away from them. He could’ve hurt them the way they hurt him…….but Eddie is kind. Eddie has been to hell and back but he still manages to have a forgiving heart and the softest soul.

i want to coin a phrase that's the opposite of writer's block. call it the muse's fire hydrant. thirty thousand story ideas are being beamed directly into your brain and if you don't write them all at once you will die.
