and the other thing is like. he shuffled through several diffrent bottles of pills, that looked priscribed to him, found a specific one, and then took two. I feel like maybe that could be a take-as-needed anxiety medication. so maybe it's not going to be an addiction storyline. (not saying that you can't abuse perscription anxeity medication, of course, but idk i just don't know for sure if that's what's happening here?) but so even if it's NOT an addiction storyline, he's still hiding things from eddie, and that's still a really huge red flag when it comes to his charcter. And like eddie said at the start if this episode, about buck's therpy appointment- "Then why did you lie?" could be some set-up to that- Eddie could *think* that buck is having an addiction problem, and he'll confront buck about it. and buck will show him some kind of proof that it's a prescribed anxiety medication and eddie will just look at him and go. "Well buck, then why did you lie?" and maybe the answer to that question is "Becuse I didn't want to rely on you, because I need to distance myself from you." why? "because, eddie, i'm in love with you and I know you don't feel the same and one day you're going to leave and never come back and I have to be fine when that happens." I'm saying buck's pills could be the buddie cannon we've been searching for this entire time
