In a post I completed earlier today, I asked why Eddie was sitting in the captain's seat in that BTS video (linked here).
Here's a possible answer.
If Hen gets injured on a call (above) and if Chimney is the one who gets injured on the basketball court (below - JLH leaked script), then it could be why they're not there with Eddie, Buck and Ravi.
It could also be the reason why Eddie’s in the captain's seat.
Maybe that's what OS and RG meant with their "Captain's" reference (below).
Because it needs its own post - the set and props departments are insane genius's and I love them for it
Eddie got new art on his walls
recognise it from anywhere?? because you should!
what if I showed you this picture from Bucks bathroom in 4x14
what if I just flung myself of a cliff - they have the same art on their walls and have you noticed how the pennyfarthing man is saying '...at the top of ones voice' with his megaphone pointing towards Eddie and Bucks ears.
The universe is screaming at them - they need to listen!!!
Buck voice over to a shot of Eddie staring at him so fondly all sweaty and hot with Buck so oblivious as he spins his silly little basketball: The thing is.... Sometimes.... You just have to getcha getcha head in the game.
You know what is interesting?? Bobby may not having been looking in that moment he connected with Athena, but he was looking - both of them were, actually. Bobby had just made a dating profile and Athena ws having fun getting back out there.
Bobby had opened himself up to the idea of love again, and he was searching for something, it just wasn’t in the place he expected. It was with someone he already knew, who saw him in a vulnerable moment, a friend.
Athena had been there for years but neither of them were in that place yet: Bobby was just his grief and Athena was still married. It was only when they were both ready to find something new and different that they saw each other.
Interesting that Eddie has downloaded a dating app that he hasn’t used, just like Bobby never needed his dating profile.
Eddie is ready, he’s searching, but it’s not going to be in the place he expects.
If his love story is going to be anything like Bobby’s - which seems to be what they’re hinting at here - then it’s going to be a friend who sees him in a low moment and helps him through.
can we like, talk about how in the coming out scene, there is this space between buck and eddie right? safe space, but still space, space to keep them safe?
and like rewatching today I noticed that they both reach into that space, they reach for each other, but like? at different times?
if they reached at the same time, their hands would touch? but they reach at different times, when in the conversation they are reaching out to the other all 'hear me, see me, HEAR ME and hear what I am saying to you' (buck with the I am bi and eddie with the you are loved)
but they
they don't reach at the same time
and I'm *screams into hands* I feel a certain way about that okay, can we talk about that? something about that makes me feel SOOOOOOOOO!!!! like, yes it makes perfect sense for the scene and what they are saying but also if this is foreshadowing I am going to throw myself into the sun for real 😭
(they do end up hugging right in that space to, so there's also that 😌)
WAITTT Eddie only has his sleeveS missing here THIS IS SO FUNNY now I'm imagining Eddie slowly losing his shirt piece by piece as the night goes on IJBOL
