Some out here suggest it but yeah can we talk about how Buck is the main character of a romcom show while Maddie final girl Han is stuck in a psychological thriller horror genre since the day I’ve met her.
i think it’s important to point out that eddie’s parents stole his kid and were letting people believe they were christopher’s parents, yet eddie was gentle as he announced he was taking his son back. yeah, he was petty and left his dad in lubbock, but he also kissed his mom on the forehead as he went to leave.
meanwhile, he is willing to scream and cry and point his finger in buck’s face. because he is safe with buck in a way he isn’t safe with his parents. the difference is SO LOUD. eddie can’t be messy there. they are watching his every move, so he has to keep himself together. but with buck, he knows he can fall apart, and buck will still be there. and that’s why LA (buck) will always be home. and why el paso (his parents) can never be.
No, because I can’t stop thinking about the note. At first it just seems a little bit of last pettiness. But it like…sort of makes perfect sense when paired with the assumptions Buck’s been making about Eddie throughout the season. Buck told him he’s moving “like it’s nothing” and Eddie has to say back that it’s NOT nothing. Then we have Buck taking the 12 on the grief assessment at face value. He never actually asked. Only made assumptions. So, Eddie, who knows he was a little cruel in his delivery, but right in his message leaves behind a note that is purposefully vague. The blankets are folded, and he says he’s at the airport. Now when Buck comes home, he’s all “I thought you were in Texas” and Eddie goes on what seems to be his weird little joke about the letters and how he never said Texas and WHEN DID I SAY THAT BUCK? NO, THAT’S NOT WHAT THE NOTE SAID BUCK. And as soon as Buck actually verbally asks him what else he could be doing at the airport, Eddie is like “Okay. Good. Here is your prize in the form of me calling myself a dick who was mean to you and here’s Chris.” Because….the note was Eddie trying to hammer home the lesson that when Buck assumes things about Eddie he’s missing out on the real thing. He wants Buck to ask him. He wants to tell him the truth. And it’s a little harsh to have him stew all day thinking Eddie just left, but that’s the point. Buck hurt his OWN feelings. Because he didn’t ask! Eddie just wants to teach him that it’s always just better to ask him! Now…I wonder what else Buck has been assuming about Eddie and their relationship this season….
maddie is messy as fuck. she asked buck if he was in love with eddie, took a picture of him minutes later and sent it immediately to eddie. and, eddie, of course, thought this picture was the most beautiful in the world and put it as buck‘s contact.
actually now thinking about buck and eddie kissing in the kitchen and chris walks in on the phone with a friend and says “oh gross. no not you, i just walked in on my parents making out.” and as he leaves we hear him go “yeah all three of them including my dead mom. no you idiot just my dads. what’s wrong with you??”
