the thing about buddie is that they’ve done almost every single romantic trope without the part at the end where they get together and i think that’s a true dedication the writers must have to their craft

eddie never leaving the frame, save me

he gave Buck a family meal :( in an episode where Buck started it off mourning the loss of family meals :( they love each other so, so much. Eddie doesn’t even KNOW that was a particular point of hurt for Buck :( he just intuited it with their soulmate, brain connection.

That was a fucking married person fight, oh my god. It starting over something small (the groceries) and escalating so quickly. Hitting the other where it hurts the most because you're hurting and it's easiest to hurt the people you love than deal with your hurt.

The tension. The domesticity. The simmering anger. The grief.

the reverse eddieshannon fake out was incredible. like we were led to believe that eddie ran because it got too hard. eddie has said himself that reenlisting in afghanistan was him running from shannon. and then she ran from him. it was a cycle they both got caught up in, and then their marriage failed. shannon yelled at him. she didn't need a provider, she needed a partner.

this time, things got hard too. eddie pointed his finger in buck's face and he yelled and he was so so so angry. but instead of running, he brought his son home because he knew buck needed chris. he was able to push through everything else to be the partner buck needed. because buck was feeling isolated and like he was lacking connection, so eddie brought him family. family who may not be biologically related to buck, but who accepted him in their diaz ranks a long long time ago.

eddie broke the cycle. instead of doing the same things that destroyed his relationship with shannon, he took a step back and realized what buck needed. what they both needed. their family, in tact and together again. and so eddie made it happen.... eddie's first. and his last.

'Cause you never asked what it was like. Waking up, the middle of the night, to that news. Sitting alone in the dark, trying to keep it together so I don't scare the crap out of my kid.

We all lost him.

Christopher's a lucky kid.

I know it was in the first episode but the writing on prodigal son kind of peaked with

Martin: I've been robbed. This is an outrage. Malcolm: Three women have died. Martin: Sure, yes, that's an outrage, too. There can be multiple outrages.
