EDDIE’S HANDS in 8.12, Disconnected
911 | 7x10 All Fall Down | 8x12 Disconnected
okay this episode actually really felt like a love letter to eddie and maddie. how maddie can overpower her traumas because of chim's support and her love for jee. how she is damn good at her job. how eddie is a good father above ALL, how he will do anything for his son, even if it means giving up his home and his job. and buck supporting him and telling him to stay for christopher, when we know two episodes ago, buck was losing his mind about eddie being gone. it truly was a love letter to eddie and maddie's strengths. as well as their individual family units. and just... okay, what a great 118th episode and tribute to eddie and maddie 😭
"And then you just never know what tree might fall on you along the way"
Bobby told this captain I’d always have a job at the 118. You think that’s true, or was he just saying that? You’re thinking of coming back? Don’t worry, you’re not getting kicked out of the house. I may need your couch, though. But what about Christopher? At least when I was there, I could send him some money. And be a firefighter. Which is the only thing I know he’s proud of me for. Hey, come on, that’s not true.
actually, now that’s im thinking about it. eddie filling in the silence because he’s not used to it. eddie isn’t used to the silence because he’s always with buck and buck is always telling him something.
they just want to do their jobs :(
buck’s pov of eddie: coolest hottest most awesome amazing guy on the planet everything he does is amazing and everyone can see how great he is and everyone should be in love with him and he can do no wrong and if he DOES do something wrong no he didn’t he literally has a silver star
eddie irl: world’s most annoying uber driver
eddie’s pov of buck: most stable, trustworthy, grounded guy, mature and thoughtful, first person you go to in a crisis, gives great advice without a thought for his own gain, basically the ideal partner
buck irl: crashes all the way out the minute eddie leaves town, drunkenly hooks up with his ex, says very unhinged and mean things and makes his sister’s life a living hell
You can already see the cracks forming in Chris's relationship with his grandparents, but the most telling is, I think, Chris coming to Eddie's house without warning via uber. His grandparents didn't give him a ride. Quite possibly, Eddie isn't the only one keeping secrets from Helena and Ramon.
There's gonna be a blowup real soon and I can't WAIT.
Eddie Diaz is a bitch and a lover and a child and a mother and you WOULDN’T want it any other way
do you think buck, who knows eddie down to his marrow, who's cataloged every version of him with the same level of care and precision he puts into any of his clipboards, and who immediately knew something was up when he barged into eddie's house and saw him in that purple button up, can tell exactly what eddie's doing the second he answers that facetime call and sees the overwhelming amount of fabric and buttons covering up all the skin he saw glistening with sweat and joy that day he knocked on eddie's door and was let in to the one moment of pure unrestraint eddie allowed himself. do you think he sees it and his heart falls.
