*Me explaining how Tommy and Buck dating is actually a great start to Buck/Eddie endgame*

Buck will get to explore his sexuality, which helps to ease in the general audience to bisexual buck which will pave the way to Buddie. I think it is a great way extend the amount of time until they get together because they need more time together as close friends/partners.

This extension is important because there has been a lack of Buck/Eddie screen time for the past two seasons. There needs to be a resurgence of their friendship the way it was in season 2-3. We need that tension again.

Tommy is also a way for Eddie to re-contextualize his relationship to Buck. Because he sees Buck as a coparent, a partner, someone significant to his life beyond a friend, he will feel some tension. So, when Buck is seeing someone seriously, someone who will be taking up the time and attention Eddie is used to, he will have to evaluate this jealousy. He, as well as the audience, will start to see his relationship with Buck in a new light.

Add in some pining, misunderstandings, and jealousy and you’ve got the groundwork for the finale to a six season slowburn.

Patience guys, patience…
