This is definitely Buck's side waiting for Eddie to 'Say It First'
NOOOOOOOOOO
WE ALL HOPED FOR A HOZIER SONG BUT AT WHAT COST?
Ok, hear me out. I'm a little on the crazy side but what if Maddie and Doug are Buck's parents?
Or do you think it could be Abby? 😟
OK IT'S LIKE MIDNIGHT RIGHT NOW BUT I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING. WHAT IF SOMEONE WAS RECORDING THE 118 AT THAT BUILDING FIRE AND CAUGHT THE MOMENT BUCK WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. THEY FINALLY POST IT WHEN THEY FIND OUT HE SURVIVED AND IT GOES VIRAL. TAYLOR KELLY SEES IT AND THE NEXT DAY IT'S ON THE NEWS. THE TV JUST HAPPENS TO BE ON THE NEWS CHANNEL AT THE STATION AND EVERYONE SEES IT INCLUDING BUCK. BUCK SEES HOW EDDIE REACTED AND REALIZES HE'S THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY SEES HIM FOR WHO HE IS.
Y'ALL I FOUND ANOTHER ONE!
Just to add fuel to the fire, from what I'm seeing with the marks under Buck's eyes, they may be bruises as they kind of have a purple tone to them. And with the basketball situation, things may have got heated between Buck and whoever he is actually with to the point that the ball is thrown, hitting him in the nose so hard that it forms those "bruises" under his eyes. Eddie freaks out and makes sure he is okay after what happened which gives us the shoulder scene as well as the Buckley siblings with their conversation right after.
WHAT IF
Instead of Eddie saying "my best friend", he really wanted to say "my partner", "my co parent", "the one I love to the core"
Progress has been made...
Theory that will probably not happen:
From what we are able to see, Eddie most likely hasn't been intimate since he found out about the nun thing. He will obviously be losing the two women he's been seeing and will probably be so pent up emotionally and sexually. Buck will be with him as he watches Christopher leave with his parents and try to comfort him with a hug and "what do you need from me?"
Eddie doesn't think about his actions as soon as he hears those words and just kisses Buck with all he's got. He breaks the kiss and says "remember when you said that you wished you could help? Well now's your chance." And the season ends.
