this man was made to beef with PTA moms over a bake sale. look at his stance here

this is maybe the first time I’ve been 100% certain just from looking at the stills that this episode is going to EAT. I mean we are getting lots of fun interactions between characters, good Eddie stuff, Buck cooking for Hen’s birthday(???) dinner, CHEDDIE FACETIME, Toni, PLUS a bus explosion??????? hello

chess being chris and ramon’s thing, symbolizing eddie feeling shut out of his relationship with his son -> we know 813 is about eddie confronting his parents -> chess tournament in the stills -> chris will struggle at some point and ramon and/or helena will offer unhelpful advice -> eddie will step in and say what chris needs to hear (that still of them in the bathroom?) reaffirming the strength of their bond and restoring his confidence in his place in chris’ life -> he unleashes the serpent on his parents and starts to talk/think about moving back to la

i’m pretty sure we’re getting two buddie facetime calls: the one in the diaz kitchen and the one at the station where buck faces the phone towards chim!!!! they just haven’t edited the actual facetimes on the stills and just have the videos they’re recording lmao

Sooooo because I’ve been seeing connections to Bobbys arc in all the Halloween episodes it got me thinking about the costumes from this seasons Halloween episode and how I thought at the time they were meant to be relevant to each characters arc for the season because it’s something the show likes to play on - giving hints through the set and costumes - I just hadn’t figured it out and then didn’t really think on it more because we got Eddie dancing and Buck escaped his dull, uninspiring relationship and I got distracted like the audhder I am!!

Then I saw something on twitter and Bluesky earlier and all the dots connected and I was right - the costumes are all about each characters arc for the season.

Mad scientist Hen - upcoming biohazard arc

Chim as Jason - a serial killer - Maddie getting kidnapped and nearly killed by one! (Which was also why Doug used the name Jason back in s2 - it was a play on the same thing!)

Vampire Bobby - vampires are undead and lore says they sleep in coffins - Bobby is about to be buried alive in a coffin - it’s a play on death and resurrection both catholic and vampiric (proof he won’t die!!)

Werewolf Eddie - transformation and identity - in modern literature and tv/film the werewolf has become connected to the idea of hiding who you are and being othered - and that has been taken up by the queer community because it is something they identify with - so Eddie’s arc about his identity and who he is, is clearly a queer one.

Cowboy Buck - hiding behind a giant stache - it’s about Texas but also about recklessness and impulsivity - which are considered cowboy traits, and in the uk a cowboy is someone who is false or dishonest - which with the theme of the season being lying and fakeness - would fit with the idea that Buck is hiding his true feelings (behind a moustache too big for his face!), that he’s not being honest about them - and that is connected to Texas because we’ve started to address that concept now that Eddie is there - because that’s where his heart is. Even Tommy is part of this costume led arc nod - Buck finds a corpse (which he thinks is fake but turns out to be real - which is a subversion of the real/fake thing and is also why in part it is dressed in something similar to Eddie’s bachelor party outfit - because it’s all about subversion and Buck having things the wrong way around) which is a representation of Tommy and why he sleeps on the couch like a corpse - which was clearly a direction and not his bad acting!! Billy was already a Tommy metaphor - losing his posse etc in the same way Tommy is feeling the loss of not being a part of the 118!!

I really do love the costume team so very much - they just keep on knocking it out of the park at every opportunity!

I didn't come out here to be an Uber driver, Buck. Or a firefighter. You went out there to be Christopher's dad.
