You know what? I bet Margaret and Philip Buckley would get along great with Tommy.
In fact, if they had to choose a man for their son to date, it would actually probably be Tommy Kinard.
He insists on calling Evan by his proper name, for one. He doesn't encourage any of Evan's silly shenanigans. He agrees with them that Evan is too excitable and that he should learn to tone it down. And whenever Evan starts going on about his firehouse found family, Tommy helps remind him that he already has a real family.
Tommy speaks their (passive aggressive) language fluently – something Evan never quite managed to pick up – and he's a fair bit older too, which means that they can trust him to keep Evan in check.
Yeah, the Buckleys would happily give Tommy their seal of approval.
