911 & 911 LS ♥️

[operator-please-take-my-call]

There’s something about the fire truck incident that I feel like we should talk about more as a fandom

And it’s the fact that Buck had to, in part, (with help) drag himself out from under the ladder truck 😭.

Every time they lift the fire truck up, he’s dragging himself forward, bit by bit, be it with his arms, his torso, his hips, a combination of the above.

Hen is doing her best to help, but the circumstances don’t give her a lot of leverage or room to work. Her focus is also divided since she’s keeping track of his vitals. Everyone else is working to lift the truck.

Imagine how unbelievably painful it must be, to be crushed by a firetruck, and then have to drag yourself forward, because you know that if you don’t you may not be able to get out before the collective strength of those who are lifting the truck gives out.

And because it’s Buck who doesn’t give up, who always fights, who so earnestly wants to help, all of the time, even when he’s the one in danger, he realizes that he can’t not put effort into his own rescue, no matter how much it must hurt.

He’s probably aware, even in his delirium, that everyone’s trying to help him and so he wants to repay that and be helpful in return. He doesn’t want to let them down.

So, no matter the exhaustion or the pain, he knows he has to use all his strength to help Hen get him out from under that truck while he still can.

Bit by bit, with his arms, his torso, his hips, a combination of all of the above, while in excruciating pain, he works with Hen and everyone lifting the firetruck to get free.

What unbelievable strength that requires.

What an incredible, unbreakable spirit Buck has.

Anyways I love Buck and this scene makes my heart ache.

I understand other’s perspective about TK and the way he’s talking about his and Carlos’s potential separation, I do, truly

BUT I do think the fact that he’s there at the hospital to support Tommy as she goes through Chemo isn’t being fully taken into account

Tommy brings up Enzo, then Jonah - Tommy and Nancy keep that conversation flowing not TK, not really, he’s mostly answering questions

If I was going through something so monumental and then was asked about it while supporting a friend through chemo therapy I’d be a bit robotic too

Like she asked for a distraction and she asked me about this specifically but if I go into too much detail I’m definitely gonna cry and then I’ll feel so gosh darn guilty about it because I’m here to support my friend through CHEMO THERAPY and now I’ve made it about me, accidentally but still

I totally get why TK was so clipy, genuinely

[bam-bi-buck]

As today is the Fall Finale for 911 Lonestar & Thursday is the Fall Finale for 911 & Doctor Odyssey I feel like we’re all gonna get for punched in the gut with a bunch of Near Death Experiences (NDE) this week

For Lonestar I’m theorizing one of the following:

1) The soup man (we know he gets shot from the promo)

2) Carlos - he’s supposed to be getting a major clue this episode regarding his father’s murderer which

A) could cause a target on his back

B) cause him to do something reckless and get hurt

3) TK

A) we know he’s in the house where Campbell gets shot with the other Rangers so he could take a bullet meant for someone else (probably Carlos if this is the case but could be another member of the 126 or a Ranger as well)

B) to follow up on Carlos maybe putting a target on his back, they could decide to go after TK as a warning for Carlos

For 911

In the promo we saw Eddie & Buck trying to free the two people stuck in the car that’s filling up with water

Both Eddie and Buck have a history with water, they’ve been doing a LOT of call backs this season, & they highlighted Chris’s love for water

So NDE could be

1) Buck or Eddie in the car

2) Buck and Eddie in the car

3) Plot twist - Chris in Texas has a NDE with water

4) Buck &/or Eddie in the car, survive - get a call about Chris

5) Bobby - Brad is obsessed with him, could accidentally hurt him trying to “help” or in anger if he’s not getting the attention he wants

6) Buck, Brad’s obsession with Bobby leads him to hurting Buck

7) Athena, Sparks loses his mind and goes after Athena

8) Chimney, he’s happy with his family expanding and he was worried about something happening to Maddie so surprise twist! he’s the one in danger instead

9) Hen - hasn’t had one since the 911 / 911 LS crossover I believe, maybe this episode is gonna gun for her just for that?

For Doctor Odyssey

1) Op in this post, Cassodre made an excellent argument for why Tristan is going to have a NDE as he’s not seen in the infirmary when Max & Avery are twice

2) Avery had appendicitis & Tristan got carbon monoxide poisoning so it could be Max’s turn and Tristan’s absence in the promo is a red herring

What I’m most worried about is not the potential NDEs themselves exactly (if there are any I already know it’s gonna make me 😵‍💫 so I’m prepared lol) but if there is any (or even multiple) NDEs that are not resolved by the end of the episode and we’ll have to wait THREE MONTHS to find out what happens… 🫨🫨🫨

Anyways I’m really to be a wreck this week : )

[bam-bi-buck]

8x07 SPOILERS

Ouch for Athena

So many loafs!

Maddie bringing in the universe! 👀

Detective Buck!!!!

Awww the hug is so sweet

“Is this Brad Torrance?”

“It is love! Send help!” Lmao

Oh dang

Him being concerned about getting the shot - goodness

“Hovering closer than my shadow?” That’s a fun saying, don’t think I’ve heard that one before

It’s Sargent, not ma’am

“Yes ma’am- I mean Sargent!” lol

Hen’s look when Buck is talking about wanting to text him - that stare piercing

The chief walking in while Eddie’s playing keep away with Buck’s phone

Booo “better start praying” grow a pair don’t tell a star they can snatch somebody from their job

Sparks feels off to me

“That’s real power” ew

Athena testing him like that, girl, don’t do that he’s gonna come after you I feel it

Athena also doesn’t like him! (Vindication!)

Hen and Athena besties!! I’ve missed them chatting

Bobby keeps getting hugs he doesn’t want 😭

“Twice in one week, what a blessing”

Omgod dude, Bobby’s married, leave him be

I don’t feel bad for Gerrard but I do feel uncomfortable watching him cry

Take that elsewhere dude, I don’t wanna see that

Telling my mom about the “he wants the cookie so f-ing bad meme” to explain the craziness of Brad’s obsession with Bobby

Sparks went “weee!”

Sparks dangling in the wind is such a funny sight

He almost went splat

“Don’t be a bitch, rob” reminds me of Grace telling the dude, “gods plan!”

Thanks for the assist, she saved your ass dude

Elaine listen to Athena! Dude has something wrong with him

200, 000k - me and my mom “DANG!”

Dude is such a sneak, why are you listening to peoples conversations creepy?

Love Maddie and Chim being like here! Have our child for the night, she’ll cheer you up! Bye!!

“All of them!” “That’s the best answer” he’s such a good uncle, he’s so good with kids, I love him, I love them, I adore the Buckley-Han family unit, y’all 🥺🥺🥺

Leader of Man! That’s Bobby!

God Brad is being a freak - shut up dude

You’re so right Bobby, she absolutely deserves an apology

Everyone immediately recording, if he’s this brazen around Bobby who hes obsessed with I’m surprised there aren’t a bunch of videos that the team brought up after learning Bobby was working with him

Holy shit

Why did you reach for a weapon at all? You didn’t need one asshole

Calling it a taser over and over again doesn’t make it one, dumbass

Gotta say, I prefer when we don’t have police based storylines but Angela Bassett is such a memorizing actress

I’m glad we see Sparks having to deal with the consequences of his actions at least, if we have to have this kind of storyline

Then saying “limey ass” in unison - beautiful

Also love the show immediately proving me right, there should be so many Brad Torrance videos!

Love a good “____ behind me, aren’t they?” moment

Omgod he’s gonna shadow Bobby

Oh poor Bobby, Brad’s gonna cause so much buffoonery, isn’t he?

The promo with Eddie being in the car while the water rises reminds me of S1 when Buck was in the elevator with the water rising

[bam-bi-buck]

I have a crack theory - based off a cracked theory (and the episode titles/film stills, etc) but this is the season of crack theories so what the heck lol

So a lot of people have wondered if the Hotshots show is based of Taylor Kelly’s book and since they appear to be doing scenes based on the actual injuries the 118 have gotten there’s a good chance that correct

People have also wondered if Brad is gonna go a bit 😵‍💫 due to his obsession with Bobby

And Tim said he wants to go back to old plot lines that weren’t tied up and what’s a Taylor plot line that wasn’t tied up?

The emergency distress bracelet Buck got her for Christmas

So my crack theory - Hotshots is based on Taylor’s book, Brad or someone else on set is obsessed with the 118, to the point where they’ve studied the text religiously

And they can’t stop thinking about Taylor’s bracelet

Did she keep it?

Did Buck keep the connecting app/device?

So maybe they track down Taylor’s location or break into her home, they just need her bracelet, she doesn’t even need to actually be involved (or maybe she is, who knows?)

Either way, they get the bracelet and set it off

Just to see what happens…

And of course Buck would come, it doesn’t matter how they ended things, he never stops caring about the people he loved, I mean after she abandoned him, he promised Abby to bring her fiancé back to her and he did!

Of course Buck would come to the rescue if he thought Taylor needed him

And then bam!

Disaster strikes

Because this person wanted to see if Buck would come and he did and this person felt a rush unlike any other, they like getting to play with these “characters” - now let’s see what happens if they’ve got Buck in their clutches

And they makes the 118 jump through hoops to save him and in the process Buck (or maybe someone else) gets majorly hurt

(And this could then tie into some of the Buddie theories I’ve seen about Buck having a NDE and Eddie getting punched in the feelings because of it)

Anyways this is genuinely a crack theory, I do not believe this will actually happen even if Hotshots is based off Taylor’s book and/or someone from the set is freakishly obsessed

But what a wild ride and what a call back it would be if it did, you know?

[bam-bi-buck]

Carlos using the word “adopt” while at Gabriel’s grave is interesting

Adopting and becoming a child’s guardian/taking custody are not the same thing - adopting would imply that Enzo is losing or is willing to give up custody

When you go to prison you lose physical custody while in prison but unless your crimes are against your child/show you as a danger to children you don’t get your custody completely taken away from you and none of the crimes listed would indicate that Enzo should permanently lose custody

So (if we’re basing this off of irl and not it being a drama - cus it’s a show they may just strip him of custody for the drama) I’d imagine that means Enzo’s facing a long time in prison and he’s asked TK to not only take custody but adopt Jonah

Taking custody/guardianship would imply that Enzo would be in prison for x amount of years and then upon release, gradually be given custody back

Adopting Jonah would mean that Jonah’s is legally TK & Carlos’s child not Enzo’s even after his release

I wonder how they’ll navigate all that next episode

[bam-bi-buck]

I know it’s unlikely especially since we saw Enzo gift TK a car in the sneak peek but I would love for Enzo to gift TK something that connects to Gwyn

Like maybe he found some old videos or found a journal

If it’s a video we could see Gwyn again (and maybe even a baby TK)

Or if it’s something like her journal we could also see her again similar to how we saw Shannon when Chris read her letter in 9-1-1, where the actress came back so we hear her words in her voice

In the second sneak peek TK mentions Gwyn but I really hope, with it being his 30th and Enzo & Jonah being there, it won’t be the only time she’s reference in 5x07 and we get something really special because their relationship is so beautiful and important

Again I know it’s unlikely buuuuuut I want it

Pretty please 911 Lonestar, pleaseeee? 🙏🏻

[bam-bi-buck]

Y’all 😭😭😭

This sneak peek - I know the rest of this scene is gonna be a punch gut

[bam-bi-buck]

Buck & Chris’s relationship + abandonment issues - long post

Do y’all think part of the reason Christopher went with his Grandparents is because he felt safe enough about Buck’s love and commitment to him that he knew Buck wouldn’t be mad at him when he came back?

Before I continue with that train of thought, this thought process is shaped by theories I’ve seen about why Chris called his Grandparents instead of Buck when Chris has gone to Buck for support with his anger/fear due to Eddie’s whole thing twice before (4x08 & 5x13) but he didn’t this time? Why? maybe because viewing him as a parental figure in this case impacts how he views Buck likelyhood to be completely on his side as his grandparents (especially Helena) are instead of being on both of their side - which he was

Chris was really angry and hurt, he didn’t want Buck to try to fix this, to try to keep them together, he wanted Buck to be angry at Eddie with him, but that’s not who Buck is and both Chris and Eddie know that

That’s why Eddie called him and Chris didn’t

Now back to Chris, his abandonment issues, and his relationship with Buck and how we can interpret it based off 7x10

Chris has severe abandonment issues, which is not surprising at all based on what he’s been through - Eddie being in active duty throughout his early childhood, then working himself to the bone with three jobs, Shannon leaving to California and then dying

Then he had feelings of abandonment during the pandemic, he lost contact with both Ana & Marisol after their relationships with Eddie ended, his bisabuela moved back to Texas, and we didn’t heard about Carla at all season 7 (I’m like 98% sure - please correct me if I’m wrong)

In season 7 he even said he feels like girls leave when Buck had that dating talk with him

(Even Buck technically left him for a bit, during the lawsuit era but I’m unsure is he views it that way or not though we do know that Chris missed him during that time - Grocery Store Divorce and all)

However, Buck has since made a promise to him and their relationship has evolved a lot since then

We know that Chris goes to Buck when he’s mad at Eddie (4x08) and there’s lot of evidence that indicates he views Buck as a parental figure (he talks to Buck in a similar fashion as he does Eddie, he seeks out Buck for support, the way he spoke to Buck while he was in a coma, just to name a few)

Plus there’s a reason Eddie chose Buck as Chris’s legal guardian and why the writers chose to include that plot

Because of Buck & Chris’s bond

And he lost his mom, he’s almost lost his dad several times, he’s gotten attached to two different women Eddie was seeing and has now lost them

When Chris ubered to Buck’s place and said that everyone leaves, Buck promised he wouldn’t leave Chris

And then when he talked to Chris before he left with his grandparents, Buck did flounder a bit (as would I in that situation, not judging here) but he does make a comment about understanding Chris wanting to go which would probably reassure Chris that Buck isn’t and won’t be mad at him

I think Chris would have had a harder time leaving if he was scared of Buck not being there when he got back

We all have our assumptions (mostly negative from what I’m seeing but I’m not judging I do too) but we don’t actually know what Helena’s saying to Chris, if she’s talking down Eddie’s love for him or not

But while it’s possible she is, Eddie told Chris himself that he can come home at any point he wants

We can also assume that part of why Chris left is because he’s mad + hurt and lashing out wanting Eddie to feel the same as him / doesn’t trust Eddie right now and is waiting for Eddie to do something to prove himself before he’ll be ready go home

I do believe that Chris knows that he can go home to Eddie (no matter what Helena may or may not be saying) and thus him leaving isn’t triggering his abandonment issues and that he’s just waiting for, as I theorized above, for Eddie to prove he won’t be hurt again if he does

and thus his abandonment issues won’t be triggered regarding Eddie (this time) unless he’s convinced he can’t go home, something happens with Eddie, or Eddie fails to prove himself to Chris

OR his abandonment issues were already triggered and he felt like he was losing Eddie (again) to Kim and her madness and he left as a means to protect himself from that, and is, again waiting for proof that he’s safe to come home from the aftermath of all that

All that to say I don’t think his abandonment issues would stop him from leaving Eddie with his grandparents in this particular instance

Ethier way though… because Chris has had a lot of experience of not having both his parents, losing parents, dealing with the fear of losing parents, and losing positive authority figures, it had to be really tough to leave Eddie himself, no matter how angry and hurt he is

And if I’m right and he does view Buck as a parental figure as well then we might assume he’d also fear losing Buck as well by leaving to Texas

I think his abandonment issues would have been triggered regarding Buck while living in Texas, especially since he’s probably always worried about losing Eddie to a certain extent (army, overworking himself in Texas, work as a firefighter, etc) he lost his mother twice, lost both Ana and Marisol who may not have been parental figures but were positive authority figures in his lives, except Buck promised Chris he wouldn’t leave him

And so I think independently of his feelings regarding abandonment and Eddie, Chris still feels secure in his relationship with Buck to not fear losing him during his time away

Just a theory and I could totally be off but it’ll be really interesting to see how they address everything when Buck and Chris reunite (if they do)

[oneawkwardcookie]

Eddie’s feelings for Shannon

In trying to see how Eddie shows romantic love, I went back and watched the 2x17 dinner scene and realised that that really wasn’t what that scene was about at all.

Tldr: his whole relationship with Shannon appears to have revolved around Christopher (both better or worse), rather than his own feelings for her or how well they worked as a couple. As for the implications for Eddie’s sexuality, that’s for another day… Also, nothing against Shannon: Eddie Begins just proved my point that mistakes were made on all sides and, whilst she was far from perfect, her motivations and actions made sense.

Life is like a vat of molten chocolate – uhhh – sometimes you - you fall into it, it drags you down, but it’s - it’s warm and it’s – it’s sweet. He’s obviously referencing the earlier rescue with the chocolate tank, but in giving Shannon a box of chocolates, it’s interesting that he chooses not to go with her Forrest Gump analogy and with this one instead. Is it because he felt that he fell into it with Shannon, and that she or the situation with her and his family dragged him down? The bit about it being warm and sweet seems like he’s trying to bring the metaphor back to a positive place, but, if he is talking about his relationship with Shannon, warm and sweet seems a bit…tame? They’ve spent a little more time together, outside of bed as well, so if there aren’t any strong romantic feelings, is it just the pregnancy that makes him want her back?

When you came back into our lives, I was so glad and afraid. I knew Christopher missed you, but I – I don’t think I realised just how much I did too.

Now, there’s obvious parallels here with the supermarket scene in 3x05 (I can’t even talk to you…You know how much Christopher misses you? How could you - you’re not around! … It prevents me from reaching out to you)

But, that aside, he leads with how much Christopher missed her, even though he tells her in 2x07 that he hasn’t asked about her “in a while” (side note: in the reasons for not asking about her, he mentions new school and new people - is Buck one of those people?). This is part of a recurring pattern of their relationship being hinged on Christopher. He’s much more hesitant to say how much he missed her. By inviting her on a supposedly romantic dinner (candles, wine, box of chocolates - tick, tick, tick), he then turns everything into being about Christopher first and foremost, rather than a declaration of his love and desire to have his wife back.

We were so young the first time. Young and not ready. But we had this amazing kid. Being his dad has been the single greatest joy of my life, and that little boy has taught me more about being a man than war ever did. 

One of the only bits of this speech that just refer to Shannon and Eddie as a couple is about how they weren’t ready. It’s still about the past, rather than saying anything about how they’ve worked together since she’s been back, or even things that worked for them in the past. And then the rest is again about Christopher, and not even Christopher as their son but about Christopher and Eddie’s life together. If this speech is meant to be about being together again, I’m not seeing it.

[You’re a great dad] Well if I am, it’s because he deserves it. He deserved his mommy too. He loves his mommy. So do I.

Again, he leads with Christopher’s needs, twice, before he tacks on his own feelings. He’s defining her solely as Chris’ mom rather than as his wife.

I want us to be a family again. I wished for a sign…and I got one.

For the fourth time, his focus is on being ‘a family’. Not about being a couple again, but about fitting into this idea of a family that he so desperately wants (probably because he didn’t get that himself, with his absent father, etc.) In talking earlier about not being ready the first time but having a kid, he seems utterly unaware of the irony of getting together a second time because of a child.

So, the only two lines that could be about whether Eddie wants his wife back are where he’s just mirroring how Christopher feels. In comparison, that 3x05 scene, whilst mentioning Christopher, is sandwiched by two lines that are just about Eddie and what he wants.

Long story short, not entirely sure if Eddie truly loved Shannon, or at least once she was back, and that dinner scene just seems to prove my point.

[iminloveedits]

Y’all I might be losing it?

I’m trying to make an edit and I’m looking for a specific scene that I so vividly remember that I don’t want to believe I’m just making it up lol

As I remember it Eddie and Buck are in a bar and Eddie puts his arm over Buck’s shoulder

Or they may have been on a couch

I’m just really remembering the arm around the shoulder part

No amount of googling has given me the answers I seek so if I am in fact not making it up and you know what episode it’s in, please pleas please let me know, ty 🙏🏻

[bam-bi-buck]

Do we think Buck got to keep all his old uniforms?

We know he worked in construction, as a ranch hand, was a navy seal candidate, as well as a bartender and that there were other jobs in between

Like, what if there’s just a drawer full of his old uniforms, or a box in the back of his closet

I think he might because Buck’s most recent cowboy outfit has elements from the different outfits they were considering for the Cowboy Buck postcard

Which we could infer that he already had most of those items from when he was a ranch hand

Meaning maybe he just has all those past work clothes somewhere still

I think it would be really cute if he does and then he’s babysitting Jee and she finds it and they had like a dress up day or something 🥺

Like I can totally see her rocking his pukka necklace, his construction vest and pulling it all together with his cowboy belt and maybe even one of his hats

It’d be adorable 🥰

[bam-bi-buck]

I just rewatched Eddie Begins and something I thought was interesting that I hadn’t caught in my previous watches

When it’s time to pull Eddie up, Buck says “Cap, can’t we give him more time? He could have the kid or almost have him”

Which is exactly what was happening at that exact moment - Eddie was reaching for Hayden, nearly had him when they started pulling him back up

But Hen responds to Buck “Or he could be suffocating in mud five stories below ground”

Which is just a step to the left of what Eddie would experience after Chim brought Hayden up - as he ended up nearly drowning somewhere around 40 feet down I believe?

So from the perspective of the audience (or at least me lol):

Buck is in tune with Eddie in the present

And Hen is able to ~predict Eddie’s future

Don’t know if that means anything but I just thought it was interesting : )

[redlinebuck]

BUCK AND THE MOTORCYCLE

[bam-bi-buck]

As much as I would love for 9-1-1 to continue on and on, at some point the show will end (😭)

I wonder if we’ll see each one of the 118’s career trajectory before it ends

We know at some point Bobby will retire and we know that Hen is on track to become Captain

What about the others?

I do think Chim, Buck, & Eddie could end up staying at the 118 under Hen’s captaincy if they chose for her to remain at the 118 as Captain as they could do a storyline where’s she’s offered a captaincy somewhere else

If she were to remain at 118 as Captain after Bobby I do believe the others would be happy under her captaincy just as they are Bobby’s

That is one way 9-1-1 could end with Bobby’s retirement and Hen taking over (if Peter stays on the entire duration of 9-1-1)

However that isn’t the only way they could end the story

Chim has acted as Captain before but he did have a difficult time figuring out his captaincy style and dealt with two major tragedies regarding his crew - Shannon’s Death & Freddie targeting the 118

This could have impacted his overall view of captaincy and make it so he’d rather just stay in his current position, I believe when Bobby was choosing an interim captain in S6(?) Chim even said absolutely not or something to that effect

He could also be Hen’s lieutenant (Just realized, unlike in Lonestar we don’t see anything about Lieutenants - so I looked up the rankings, apparently LAFD doesn’t have them and have Firefighter ranks 1, 2, & 3 instead? Interesting… so never mind on that idea lol)

Anyways, he’s shown no problems working under Hen, but he has shown discontent at the idea of Hen not being his partner (when Hen was starting her journey to become a Doctor) so while he may have no problems working for interim Captain Hen, it might be hard for him to lose her as a partner completely

Would that inspire him to become a captain himself? It would be a really good storyline for him to overcome any doubts he may have due to his previous experience as Captain

Or would be ultimately decide that he’d rather continue working with Hen even if they aren’t partners, that would also make a good storyline

I think one problem if they go that route is who becomes his partner? More on that later

For Buck, I do think he could continue as a firefighter and be happy but we have seen them start to sow the seeds for him also to pursue captaincy, such as him trying to be a good candidate when Bobby was looking for a interim captain as referenced above and at the end of season six we saw him take charge of an entire scene and save everyone

And even in this current season we’ve seen him use his smarts to solve a lot of problems

He would make an amazing captain- however he would then have to lose part of his 118 family - not entirely but partially if they’re no longer working together (if they are in fact continuing with Hen becoming a captain trajectory which I’m pretty sure they will)

So if Buck also goes down the captaincy route himself there’s several options

1) Hen becomes Captain of the 118 and he later becomes Captain of another house

2) Hen is offered Captaincy elsewhere and Chim becomes Captain of 118 and Buck becomes captain of another house

3) Both Hen and Chim become captains elsewhere and Buck becomes the 118 captain

That could be a good storyline for Buck, having to accept his family going down different career paths and choosing a career path that’s good for him and helps him grow as a person, not based on trying to keep everyone under the 118 roof and realizing they’ll always be a family even if they’re no longer working together

Eddie though, I don’t think he’s shown any interest in becoming a Captain

When Chim was searching for Maddie Eddie was partnered more with Hen, (and I believe we’ve seen Hen as interim Captain and Eddie helping Chim? might be misremembering that) and this season we’ve seen Eddie work with Hen and Chim

They have been emphasizing his skills as a medic this season as well

We could see Hen become Captain and Eddie become a paramedic and Chim’s partner

I think that would be hard for everyone involved, Chim not having Hen as a partner, and Eddie and Buck not working as partners anymore

If he doesn’t become a full time paramedic, he’d probably remain Buck’s partner as long as Buck remains a firefighter (if Buck does go the captaincy route)

Eddie has also stated the he enjoys the camaraderie of firefighting, not that the Captain can’t be apart of that, but they are held a bit apart from the rest, that’s just one of the effects of being a leader

He’s also shrugged off the idea of being even interim captain, like when he talked about it with Buck when Buck was frustrated to not being in the running

Unless they start sowing the seeds for him to be interested in captaincy as well, I just don’t see it happening based off his current trajectory/attitude

If he does become a captain then it’s a similar situation as Buck above

If Buck becomes captain and he doesn’t, I imagine he’d want to go with him or be a full time paramedic on his team unless #buddiecanon happens and and then they may have to be separated (as this is a show and not real life they may decide they can remain in the same house if one of them becomes Captain even if I’m not sure that would happen irl, idk)

But then if they are separated by the brass and Chim doesn’t become captain I’d imagine he’d stay with Hen & Chim and if both Hen and Chim become Captain then he’d stay with one of them if he couldn’t stay with Buck for any reason

There is another possibility of them all who become a captain remaining at the 118 and ending up as captains of different 118 shifts but I can’t really see any of them wanting to give up A shift or wanting to go have alternative shifts as the others as that would make spending time together as a family outside of the firehouse even harder and losing both firehouse time together and outside of firehouse time together would wreck all of them

I have no idea if the show will end with us knowing what future paths they follow career wise but I think it’s interesting to think about where they may take them if they do

[cherishingstydia]

The taking down of the decorations alone makes me realize we could potentially get Eddie and either Chris or Buck helping him with Christmas decorations, or if we’re really lucky we get Buck coming over to help decorate and then surprise Chris is by the tree to surprise him. So we get a parallel of Shannon, Eddie, and Chris as well as the juxtaposition of Eddie being alone vs Eddie having everything he needs.

[comingupwithjoshdun]

I don’t think enough people are appreciating the fact that Josh dressed up as Eddie for Halloween
