7x04 - Buddie is all over this episode and not because we finally got Bi!Buck confirmation

Alright, we got some fanfuckingtastic food this episode and while I'm still celebrating over here in the corner for Bi!Buck becoming canon and how important that is not only for bisexual representation in mainstream media but also for his character, I have to talk about Buddie. (I am not diminishing this great moment for Buck, I promise)

Don't get me wrong. I like Tommy and I'm excited to see how this all pans out and to explore this journey with Buck. Not to mention the whole "Maybe you're more of a Team Jacob kind of guy" from Sal to Tommy back in 2x09, I'm glad to see it come full circle like this because they could have chosen someone else for Buck. Plus he and Buck do have chemistry.

But I have to be honest, my personal opinion is that Tommy is another case of this. Here's a whole list of why:

Another Name Ending with "ee" Sound: Edd-ie -> Tomm-y

Army connection: Both were in the army; both are connected to helicopters (and we know how important the helicopter symbolism is for Buddie)

Dressing Alike: Tommy and Eddie are dressing alike (when Eddie picks him up)

Looking alike: In certain lighting (like outside Buck's apartment door), Tommy has a similar look to Eddie

Immediate Side-eye: Buck had a similar reaction to Tommy and Eddie's friendship that he had to Eddie when the latter first joined the 118

Working Out: We even go back to the working out scenario (callback to 2x01) but this time, Eddie isn't working out, he's talking to Tommy on his phone, it's Ravi around this time not Chim, and Buck is once again trying to get Eddie's attention, but this time not competitively; if this were strictly about Buck's attraction to Tommy and trying to get his attention, Buck wouldn't have gone to this trouble; if Buck wanted to get Eddie's attention platonically because of his platonic jealousy, the basketball game was a better route than lifting weights (which is why they have the basketball delivered at the end of that scene)

Tsunami Callback: Tommy helped the 118 with flying the helicopter into a hurricane to land on the capsized cruise ship to rescue Bathena; it's not as overt and may be unintentional on the writers' part (who are we kidding? we KNOW these writers) but it calls back the tsunami arc for me from season 3, with Buck's and Eddie's separate involvement due to Buck's situation, this time they're together but Tommy isn't part of the 118 anymore

The Kitchen: Buck and Tommy in the kitchen - Buck opens a beer but doesn't drink it, Tommy declines one - we know open beer bottles/having a beer is also an important symbol for Buddie - this felt very much like a callback to 3x09 where Buck was getting that close to Eddie, this time Tommy was the one to get closer to Buck - and it also brings to mind 4x12 where Taylor was talking to Buck and Eddie about the treasure hunt, where Taylor told Buck she loved him in season 5 - the kitchen is not only important for Buddie but also for Buck's most important relationships (Eddie, Christopher (from the season 6 dinner), Maddie, Albert, Chim, etc)

Asking Parallel: Buck reveals Eddie has been asking him to play basketball but he always turns him down, now he asked Tommy & Tommy is going; Buck "asks out" Tommy and offers to buy him a beer, not once but twice Tommy turns him down until the kiss happens; Buck asks Eddie back in 7x01 to go go-karting & Eddie turns him down, saying he has a date as does Christopher

More of the Taylor/Eddie parallel: Ashley C, a dental hygienist, (think "always smiling"/teeth, Taylor on camera) tells Buddie "I love dalmatians" (something we know Taylor referred to Buck as) and Ashley A (a flight attendant btw, a subtle reference to the helicopter thing) says "I feel so lightheaded, I'm having palpitations". Two different Ashleys but it's no coincidence that Ashley "A" is the one to give the Eddie reference (we all know he had that situation going on back in season 5)

Buck keeps mentioning the Tommy/Eddie connection: "You and Tommy have a lot of things in common" - he mentions it twice, once to Eddie and then once to Tommy later in the kitchen

Eddie asking Buck to watch Christopher: While Eddie hasn't asked Tommy to watch Christopher because he usually is out with him, it's mentioned that Christopher has met Tommy and approves; Eddie then asks Buck to watch Christopher after mentioning he's already asked Marisol twice to watch him twice that week - not only does this dialogue put Marisol and Buck on the same level for Eddie in who he trusts but also, in an episode where tons of paralleling is going on, relationship wise in the dialogue (they could have not had Eddie mention that when asking Buck or just say Marisol was busy or something else)

The Chim Factor: once again, Chim is being involved (as is Madd-ie who has also been a parallel for Eddie before) - from 2x01 to now, he's always had a front seat to the Buddie show, no coincidence that he was brought to the basketball game by Buck or that he ends up being there to look over Eddie once he's hurt

The Bachelor Nod: the Bachelor named Joey and the male host that both Maddie and Josh are falling all over themselves to talk to is Jesse (ties into the two Ashleys, the two Sarahs) - I've never watched The Bachelor so I have no idea if Jesse and Joey are actually real (I'm assuming maybe due to the credits) but interesting that out of all the guys they could have chosen be a guest to do this spot, they have another J name, again in an episode where we're getting a name two different ways not once but twice and again, the parallels

Season 5 ATC callback: I also find it interesting that Joey approaches Chim and has his hand on Chim's shoulder the same way we saw Eddie do with Buck back in season 5 when they were treating someone on the ground, at the Air traffic tower, after Ashley A pinned her wings onto Joey

Conchata connection: This character feels like a connection to Eddie not just due to the mention of Mexico but also that "Conchata" comes crashing into the scene; feels/appears like one thing at first but then we find out differently and the real Conchata has been there all along, just waiting to be found - could this be foreshadowing? or a callback to how Eddie first came into the 118 and it looked like there was going to be a rivalry but it turned into something else?

"Seriously cool": Not only is Christopher impressed with Tommy, but Buck obviously is, too. We all remember only too well who else Buck found to be this level of cool and going on and on to Maddie about (hello 2x01 my old friend)

Getting attention: Buck admits he was trying to get Eddie's attention (but not to Eddie); Buck admits to Tommy that he was working hard to get his attention

The Ashleys: Ashley A is from Corona, CA (both Buck and Eddie now live in CA as does Taylor) while Ashley C is from Florida (Buck is from PA I think and Taylor I forget where but Midwest I think? I can't remember for her, please feel free to correct me in the comments, Eddie is from Texas)

"It's only been two weeks": Buck mentions this more than once, that Tommy and Eddie are best buddies after only two weeks - subtle inference back to season 2 where Buck met Eddie and within an episode they had become best buddies and again, the weights scene

Buck's Reaction Compared to Maddie's: while Maddie tells Buck to stop acting like the 14 year old girl she was, her reaction was different though the motivating factor was similar - both Sarah B & Sarah S were blonde, Maddie dyed her hair & wanted to change her name to fit in with them because she was jealous and missed her best friend - Buck (yes, I know he's an adult but he did admit he was acting similarly to Maddie), the only way he tries to fit in is with basketball, before that, it's all about getting the attention of both Eddie and Tommy (and by them showing us the Eddie phone and weights scene plus the basketball package (after he's turned Eddie down so many times) they're subtly letting us know that this isn't just about Tommy)

"Evan": the only other two men (from the 118) to call Buck Evan are Chim and Eddie (I don't think Bobby has before, but I could be wrong) = not a coincidence that now Tommy is (and frequently) and again, also no coincidence that Chim has a front seat to this (when Chim has also been paralleled with Buck like last season & Maddie has been paralleled with Eddie before)

Basketball Game Apparel: Chim is wearing his LAFD hoodie while Tommy is wearing a grey hoodie tank; Buck and Eddie are wearing tank tops (different cuts but both dark colors); as we all already know, TV and this show will use costuming to show when two people are on the same page, doing the same thing, or there's something going on for those two characters that is trying to be conveyed to the audience without being overt. I mean, hello:

(regardless of how these relationships turned out in these series, you get my point)

Considering Eddie and Buck aren't on the same page right now (Eddie has no idea about Buck's jealousy until Buck does what he does at the game), and while they might be playing the same game, it's against each other, so that only leaves one thing:

So there is a lot of connection between Tommy and Eddie:

(and some serious callbacks to Taylor - I mean, look at that above, TV at the end of the unit #)

We even see Tommy and Eddie keeping an even pace as they're walking away from Buck.

Plus, we also got more callbacks to season 3, for Eddie (which connects back to that 3x09 kitchen scene again because of the context of that conversation between Buck and Eddie): "Tommy's friends with the promoter so we got ringside seats. I felt like I was the one throwing the punches."

But here is where it gets even more interesting:

Tommy is also paralleling Buck.

Tommy mentions being jealous of the 118 and seeing how much of a tight-knit unit they are, after he's been out of there for a while -> Buck was initially jealous of Eddie back in 2x01 because he thought he was being replaced in his 118 family (and appeared to feel the same way about Ravi until we found out differently)

Tommy appears to know exactly what Buck is talking about with dating someone he's rescued by saying "They're always so grateful"

Tommy is part of the pre-original 118 lineup (who knew Chim and Hen); Buck is part of the original 118 who obviously knows Chim and Hen

Christopher cannot stop talking about Tommy to Buck and Buck to Tommy

Eddie asks Tommy to go to basketball after Buck has turned him down several times

Tommy has become Bestie!Buck 2.0 for Eddie in Buck's absence (in Buck's eyes) though there's no reasoning for this absence outside of Eddie's new relationship & Buck's turning Eddie down for an activity (this absence is alluded to when Eddie finds out for the first time that Buck is no longer with Natalia)...well, really 3.0 because, you know...Lena (who also brought Eddie to a fight btw with "ringside" seats, who knew the organizer)

I guarantee we'll get more connections to both as this develops, but I don't think Buddie is out for the count. Especially after seeing the promo for next week's episode. Not so much because of Eddie and Marisol seeing Buck and Tommy together, but Buck's obvious tension that Tommy reacts to before Eddie even shows up, and then Buck's reaction to Eddie showing up.

To be fair, this is all new to him as he states so it makes sense that he's still figuring things out for his own journey. But, at the same time, there did not need to be this many connections that the writers purposely made to either Buck or Eddie for Tommy. That's why, as excited as I am to see how Buck/Tommy plays out, I also think it's like what Ana Flores was for Eddie (though obviously very different relationship dynamics and characters), to get Buck to open up and have this realization about himself, to explore it, and end up wherever he does. So all in all, this should be interesting, for Buck's character alone as much as for Buddie.

I asked my sister for predictions on eddieana around when we watched 4x12 Treasure Hunt, and at that point her opinion was that ana probably would stick around for a season or so, but she didn't see them as a lasting couple. Her opinion didn't change post-4x14, except she didn't give a timeframe anymore and added "it feels more like a 'nah, we're actually just friends' than a dramatic breakup."

When can we start S5 I am vibrating in my chair

What’s your favorite 911 episodes?

@1908jmd So whether you intended for me to just say my one favourite episode or not, the s on the end of 'episodes' gives me the ability to list ALL of my favourite episodes instead of just one (cause I make up my own rules lol) so *cracks knuckles* here goes!

Survivors (4x14) - the rest of this list will be in random (or rather chronological) order but this is my actual favourite episode. I just....everything about it is just *chef's kiss*

Dosed (2x06) - Mostly for the scene where they're drugged... 'oooooh you made him cry!'

Fight or Flight (2x13) - The Maddie and Buck of it all just makes my heart happy

Kids Today, Sink or Swim, The Searchers (3x01, 02, 03) - Tsunami arc for the absolute win!

Rage (3x05) - Grocery store divorce fight, Eddie being all angry and street fighting. Yes. Good.

Eddie Begins (3x15) - This one may be up there as my second favourite...

Jinx (4x06) - This episode is just fun

Treasure Hunt (4x12) - Another fun one!

Brawl in Cell Block 911 (5x06) - Kidnapped Buck and Eddie, annoyed Eddie, Buck freaking out over a potentially hurt Eddie *chef's kiss*

Outside Looking In (5x11) - Perhaps a controversial choice... lol

Fear-O-Phobia (5x13) - Buck was in the room ;)

May Day (5x16) - This one is definitely in the top three...

Mixed Feelings (6x13) - Poker date!

I think that's all of my favourites! Thanks for asking!

An unsolicited observation but in 5x17 I never really thought much about Buck being at the house with Eddie and Christopher while they are packing to leave for his dad's retirement party in El Paso . But at the beginning of the scene Eddie is hurrying Chris along saying "...we still have to pick up Tia Pepa". Recently it occurred to me that Buck probably wasn't there just to hang out. He was probably taking them to the airport which means he was taking Pepa as well. It made me start to wonder, canonically, about Buck's place in the extended Diaz family as well.

It's small throwaway lines like this that I'm now starting to think have been used to imply that Buck and Eddie have a much more involvement in each other's lives than we have been shown on screen. Particularly in the wake of recent episodes that finally seems to be revealing those interactions and framing them as normal in their lives instead of as a "new normal" because of the lightning strike.

I'm sure this is obvious to you. You are have such an eye for detail when it comes to this show and this ship.

Thank you @spiceyreads for the ask and I agree with you because the time Buck spent with Eddie and Chris in 5x17 "Hero Complex" (even though the audience didn't see Chris in the episode, it was implied he was there) was just as important as the scenes Buck and Eddie had with Pepa in 2x4 "Stuck". Buck met her when he drove Eddie to the hospital. (Buck driving Eddie to the hospital was possibly another piece of relevant information regarding Buck and Eddie's relationship that may have been missed by some. They were at work so why did Buck drive Eddie to the hospital? Well... it's because Buck always drives when they're in the car together just like he did at the end of 2x3 when he drove Eddie to pick Chris up from school after the earthquake, he drove in 4x12 during the treasure hunt and in 4x13 when he drove the battalion car so they could save Charlie.)

Buck and Eddie are extremely involved in each other's lives and even though the audience doesn't always see it, they are especially when other scenes with their relatives are taken into account. I've included two examples below (one for Buck and one for Eddie).

Buck knows Eddie's family

In 3x10 "Christmas Spirit" Eddie told Hen, since the 118 had to work, Chris was going to spend Christmas Day with his abuela and she was going to take him to his aunt's (Pepa's) but Isabel was the one who took Chris to the firehouse. Some may have missed it but Buck was probably the one who contacted her. Here's the connection. The family dinner at the firehouse was Buck's idea and he asked Maddie to call Athena to see what she thought about it and they had their conversation while Maddie and Frank were driving to the woods where she killed Doug. Buck worked with Athena to pull it all off and Athena thanked him after they were done eating dinner right before they took the family picture. Here's the thing... it's unlikely that Athena knows Eddie's abuela but Buck knows her and he knows Pepa too so he was probably the one who called her and explained if she brought Chris to the firehouse, he would get to spend time with Eddie on the holiday.

Eddie talks to Buck's parents

In 4x5 "Buck Begins", when Buck's parents went to the firehouse, Margaret told Buck after he went upstairs, the firefighters seemed to like him a lot and it was probably Eddie who talked to them while they were waiting for Buck to return to the firehouse. Here's the connection. They met Chimney in 4x4 which means they would have mentioned him by name if he was one of the firefighters who spoke well of their son. Bobby wasn't there because he took Buck to the doctor, therefore Eddie and Hen were the only two people from A-shift left. Hen wasn't shown on-screen prior to the scene but Eddie was and he told Buck he had some visitors and nodded his head towards the stairs. After Buck walked past him, Eddie watched him walk up there. Therefore Eddie was probably the one who talked to the Buckleys and told them only good things about their son. Also Margaret said, "You were born to save someone and that's what you do every day". Well... she didn't know jack squat about Buck so how in the frick frack did she know what he does every day? The answer is she didn't, until Eddie told her.

Again, thank you for the ask and I hope my response added further credence to the important roles Buck and Eddie have in each other's lives.
