9-1-1 Buddie: My Theory for Season Finale and Season 5
As someone who watches a lot of tv shows with will-they-wonāt-they relationships, here is my theories for the finale and the beginning of next season.
- Eddie and Buck have a discussion about their friendship and how much their relationship means to each other. The conversation is approaching romantic but not necessarily there, but they agree to revisit it at some point.
- Eddie has to take a break from work cause of his injury, and the season ends with him, Buck and Chris making holiday plans. Maybe a road trip to Texas or something.
- First few episodes we get extra Buddie stuff; nothing out of the norm - they together on calls, movie nights, etc - nothing obviously romantic.
- Before mid season, something happens on a call that upsets one of them (in my head itās Buck). The rest of the episode Buck refuses to talk to anyone and Eddie is clearly upset. Eddie has a talk with Bobby about Buck and then goes to visit Buck. Eddie finds Buck sitting upset in his room, Eddie sits next to him..
Buck says something about being alone and is crying. Eddie says heās not alone, he has his friends, his sister, and him and Chris. Eddie says āI love youā super casually and kisses Buck on the head, Buck says āI love you tooā and then they properly kiss. The camera zooms out to show a picture of Buddie in Bucks room which is clearly romantic. Indicating theyāve been together awhile.
- Next Episode is called Buddie Begins.
Shows flashbacks to the two of them from throughout the show. Buck meeting Chris, various missing moments after injury etc, Texas scenes after that TK thing in the crossover, one of them coming out to the other (I think at least one of them came out as Bi in High School), Buck meeting Ana and visibly disliking her... so on so fort.
We find out they got together between season 4 and 5, but decided to keep it a secret due to work.
Back half of the season we see them together as a couple - telling Chris and Carla theyāre together - but they still wonāt tell the team. Eventually we find out someone knows (probably Hen) but they donāt reveal it. All leading up to them coming out as a couple before the season finale. Then season 6 can be them openly dating and working together.
