#6b speculation

I’ve been thinking a lot about Natalia and Buck and there’s just something I don’t get…

What was the point of her?

They met, they dated, we saw Natalia learn about Buck’s past relationships and current speed donor situation. Then she left.

Either they:

1. Broke up for good after literally nothing of substance happened and we saw Buck want another girl who didn’t want him.

2. Get back together which would show that Buck has to convince someone to want him and that, even if Natalia apologizes and says she was wrong, she’s still someone who at any point could then think Buck is too much and leave again.

When Buck and Taylor broke up, we saw Buck make a choice. It taught him something. I truly don’t see what Natalia is supposed to be for Buck’s story. I mean, what were the writers going for? I honestly can’t see them making Buddie canon in what they thought was the series finale, so that means they had Natalia there for a reason that isn’t about Buck and Eddie, but I can’t see a single one.

If she had come in as JUST a death doula and helped Buck work through his death, and he grew as a person, that would’ve made all the narrative sense in the universe. But they didn’t.

Their romance didn’t do anything for Buck’s story that didn’t already happen in past relationships. Unless they used her to bring in Kameron, so she’d be in the apartment, and that way she can give birth on the couch (“in danger”).

Am I crazy? Was there any point to them? Did I miss something?

I 100% believe that they thought this was their series finale at the time of writing and even all the way through filming.

The way that the cast was being so present on social media everyday closer to the end.

The way the emergency is huge and expensive and them literally going out on a bang.

The way they tied back every 118’s current trauma at the emergency to a past one from elsewhere in the 6 seasons.

The way there’s a roof scene, which for them has always felt calm, introspective, peaceful.

The way the guest cast is packed.

The way they tried to shoehorn in as much as they could in the past few episodes so the characters would be left with non-ambiguous endings.

They thought this was the end. We’re gonna watch the 911 finale the way they thought it deserved to fully and completely end. It’ll be so telling of how they think of their characters, their stories, and even their fans. This is gonna be a ride

Maybe it’s because I’m an actor and I’m used to taking stills from my auditions and scenes and stuff, where you look for the perfect frame where you look the best even if it doesn’t truly reflect the entire scene if you’re just posting it randomly, but that still where everyone is saying Eddie is looking at something and “obviously” super distraught and crying… Just doesn’t read like that. It looks like someone grabbed a still when Eddie was in pain, which is why he’s leaning forward. His eyes are scrunched because it’s sunny and there’s a reflector on them which increases the shine A LOT. His mouth is open in pain/shock/breathing. Hen has the same facial expression, but Eddie’s face is redder which I think is being interrupted as he’s being highly emotional, while I really just think it’s a case of perfect still taking.

I 100% think he’s looking at a member of the firefam. Very likely Bobby hanging from the ambulance. But that isn’t a still of a sobbing, screaming man.

Here’s the thing that has got me legit worried. We knew Chim got hurt from the behind the scenes pics with the bandages but Fox officially released this image of him getting out alive on the gurney. If they’re just letting us know that he gets out fine then clearly worrying about Chim making it isn’t going to be the focal point of the episode. So … what else is gonna happen???

I would like to point out that a few days ago I made a whole post about how I thought that yellow thing was a school bus and I had multiple people telling me that it wasn’t and so I deleted the post because y’all made me feel like an idiot, and if it turns out it IS A SCHOOL BUS…

Just know I literally predicted it daysssss ago because I literally looked through dozens of pictures of school buses and matched it up to what we saw in BTS footage.

The person in the ambulance is Bobby:

So we see that this person is holding onto the ambulance pretty hard. Like he fell and moved to grab onto something solid.

The person who took this video said that they saw the turnout, and it said Nash. Which tracks with what we know about Bobby being in danger and Buck saving him.

So, yeah, with 100% certainty, that ambulance person is Bobby.

Unpopular opinion, but I don’t think Eddie is yelling in that still. In pain, yes. In anguish, yes. But I think he might just be breathing.

Hen is making the same shape with her mouth. It seems like it’s really sunny, so they’re squinting too. Combine that with him adding pain to that.

Do I want him to be screaming for someone? HELL YEAH. But based on Hen’s twin reaction, they’re either both yelling or he’s just in pain and in shock. I’d be very happy to change my mind about this if they release a clip👀
