happy one year bisexual anniversary to my favorite guy, evan buckley 💖
I would never forget your birthday…
they're back 😭😭
every day tim minear furthers my agenda of eddie being maybe four years older than buck AND still having been a very young father at maybe like 19 or 20. how, you might ask? well, timelines don't exist, you see. and they're definitely not supposed to make sense. we're operating purely on vibes. shannon's tombstone was prepped by some random props guy who was like "hmm this checks out". buck's hospital bracelet? a flirty wink for oliver stark. actually, it's 2021 in the 911 universe. sometimes it's 2024 and then it's 2025 the next week and then back to 2022. hen's birthday lasted two days. chris is fourteen but sometimes 17 and sometimes 12 years old. eddie is a late 80s / early 90s baby. buck is a 1990s millennial but in a different way than eddie because buck grew up on hannah montana and eddie has no fucking clue who that is. bobby is 60 but then he's 55 and sometimes it's like he should be in a home by now. chim is doing acrobatics at 55 because he's also 43 like maddie who's also 38. both buck and eddie remember blockbuster and neither one of them has ever watched glee. tommy is still around 48 pushing 60. buck and eddie are in love and very much a fertile age
I trimmed the boxwoods, mulched the flower beds, cleaned out the gutters, power-washed the porch, and resealed the flagstone out the back.
oh ❤️🫠
This episode really was even more evidence that Eddie might be a single dad, but he hasn't been parenting Christopher by himself for a long time.
They set the stage for Buck as Eddie's co-parent in 7x01 when Eddie asked Buck to talk to Chris about girls. They've intentionally been laying the foundation for Buck as Eddie's co-parent since they moved networks. I'd argue they've been doing it for much longer, but I think they've been much more explicit about it since they moved to ABC.
Eddie called Buck when Christopher wouldn't open the door. He said, "What you always do, talk to him."
The four FaceTime calls have all had at least one moment where Buck either reaffirmed Eddie's choices or reminded him about his priorities or helped him work through a situation about parenting.
They've really set them up as partners in and out of the field and it's just getting more obvious with every episode. The episodes in El Paso have been the most obvious in the shift because it isn't just a conversation on a shift, it's Eddie and Buck intentionally calling each other to talk and for advice.
It's your job.
I have so much to say about today's episode, but I can't get over the fact that Eddie loved ballroom dancing—until his parents ruined it for him. They turned it into something competitive, something he had to prove himself in, with trophies to win and a scholarship to earn, when all he ever wanted to do was just dance. And then, years later, when the priest told him to find his joy, the very first thing he did was dance freely, without all the pressure his parents had put on his shoulders
