Kristen Reidel at home watching Buck be confirmed to be bisexual and having his first on-screen kiss with a guy after working so hard to keep him and Eddie straight and apart:
i would like to point out the “you wanna go for the title” scene is still the gayest thing to have happened in bucks kitchen, and he made out with a man in there.
We finally get to see two macho men being queer and open to dating each other without pretenses or this idea of it being wrong. This has been what I wanted for years now. And the fact that ABC did it no questions asked speaks volumes to me.
one thing that i think really proves we only see eddie through buck's pov in this ep is that it's the first time basically ever???? we've seen eddie more or less ignore buck???? like, eddie. the same eddie who is so attentive and so attuned to buck's every goddamn micro expression that he knows what's wrong with buck even before buck does sometimes. the same eddie who has a laundry list of lines across multiple seasons that highlight the way he always know what buck is thinking and feeling. and tommy even confirms that at the end of the ep when buck asks if eddie's mad and instead he says that eddie feels bad bc he knows why buck is upset, bc he knows better than anyone about buck's abandonment issues and his possessiveness over his family. the reason it looks like eddie is ignoring buck is because buck feels like eddie's ignoring him and honestly it is So Interesting to get that insight into buck's head
