bestie what dots are you connecting 👀
i am becoming more and more of a believer in s6 being Bobby's Season my dots are that may day is for sure May's Episode but that bobby is #Not going to do well with the whole daughter in a fire thing. especially with 5x16 going right into hero complex and like yea yea buck hero complex let's move on past That real quick bc like i said during the 5x17 title Discussion, bobby has a real complicated relationship to what it means to be a hero too. and a season full of children in danger is big 👀 for the buck eddie front but it's also big 👀 for bobby and i think it'd be REALLY interesting if 5b saw eddie and bobby kind of swapping roles, like 5b is eddie's breakdown → Healing arc and also bobby's everything's fine → Downward Spiral arc.
my Vision and i'm not actually like speculating for real i'm just saying if they let me in the room i would plan 5b out as first half eddie full breakdown era, total crash end of 5x11, 5x12 is madney's episode, 5x13-5x15 are eddie Healing and at the same time bobby kind of approaching the edge in the bg. maybe buck's being extra reckless and it's bringing back some of bobby's fears, maybe bobby and eddie have another talk about fatherhood and for once instead of bobby being the Pilar Of Strength we see a lil bit of s1 bobby (just like we're seeing s1 buck).
5x16-5x18 happens, it IS about eddie coming back and buck/eddie Healing together but 5x16 has bobby's daughter in a fire and you know maybe bobby doesn't save may -- now hold on hold on -- what i mean is maybe may saves both of them, so they're fine but not because of something bobby did directly, and maybe that weighs on him and leads into 5x17 hero stuff. i still think hero complex will literally refer to someone outside of our best friends, maybe someone causing accidents to save the day leading into the Big End of Season Emergency (bit of a s2 finale callback) where bobby, already not doing well, gets hurt. not massively, not like the truck bombing or the shooting, but enough, and that injury unfortunately leads him into a relapse bc this set ruined my life and i will never stop thinking about it. then boom season 6 bobby relapse/maybe some grappling with retirement/overall big bobby season
anyway lakmfslk i just think that the shooting was a massive deal for eddie's arc, but bobby was also shot and while it wasn't as severe, i do think there's something to bobby and eddie (and bathena and buddie) being so linked at the end of s4.
