okay i literally dont know how i feel rn but uh. im just gonna be delusional forever and ever i think! and go rewatch all my eddits (eddie edits) 👍

if eddie's worrying about whether or not he should go and assist the 118 and christopher says any variation of the line "it's buck, dad" you can't hold me accountable for my actions

Crazy how every El Paso episode is reaffirming Eddie’s “you do matter to me” statement. It’s not just words. The writers are now showing us instead of telling us that Eddie does indeed need Buck as much as Buck needs him, that Buck is integral to Eddie’s life and that him moving away doesnt change that fact at all.

And it’s another way they’re contrasting Eddie with Abby. Abby left Buck with vague assurances that she cares about him, that she might come back at some point, but it was all just words. As soon as she left L.A. she left Buck behind too. She closed that chapter of her life and didn’t make any effort to make that known to Buck.

But Eddie puts his money where his mouth is. It’s not just words. Eddie told Buck he matters to him and then he proved it by keeping him in his life, by talking to him all the time and needing him and relying on his support.

Buck has accepted the fact that Eddie is not coming back (even tho we know he is lol) while he clung to the idea of Abby coming back for far too long. But Eddie has not left Buck in any doubt that he loves him. That’s why Buck has been able to stop spiralling. Because he’s secure in the knowledge that distance doesnt change what they are to each other. He knows he will always have Eddie. And Eddie knows he will always have Buck.

buck teasing eddie while they're on facetime and eddie goes "oh you love me" and buck says "WHAT noidon't. what are you talking about. did tommy tell you to say that? did MADDIE tell you to say that??you're straight. and this isn't even your house. and i, hate you." and then he hangs up

I think my biggest annoyance about this episode is that it doesnt really feel like it’s a continuation of the previous one? At least when it comes to buck and eddie. Buck randomly asking for a transfer when the previous episode had him having that talk with pepa, his reunion with chris (symbolizing that he still has a family and that things arent as fractured as they seem) and ESPECIALLY that scene where he works together to end that fire with hen and chim symbolizing that they are still a team and that’s just… ignored? Buck suddenly doesnt give a shit about hen and chim? And i get it, he’s still grieving but then what the fuck was the purpose of 8x17 if it wasn’t him starting the ACTUAL healing process? Him randomly choosing to transfer is so… odd and out of place? And Eddie! What is the purpose of that talk he had with hen & karen where he slips out that LA is his home and that he’s worried about buck? What’s the purpose of showing us how happy he looks when he sees buck snd chris together again (showcasing that he knows his family is in LA?) All of this just for him to still seem to be eager to leave for Texas at the end of the emergency when it was such a great set up for him to realize he wants to stay and work with the people he cares about? Apparently since Chris didn’t even need any convincing to go back to LA?????? Was this weird dissonance between the two episodes and the character writing really just to set up chimney’s speech at the end (which mind u kenny killed but I’m really struggling to enjoy)??

Like I dont think they could have dropped the ball harder than this if they tried.

“bobby nash is dead” no

walk with me. eddie being back in LA but not yet back at the firehouse, hearing the 118 is trapped and knowing he can't be on the outside while his family is in danger again, showing up to the scene and stealing a set of turnouts to run in and help, saving buck who in the heat of the moment grabs his face and kisses him but then jumps back in horror only to reach back out and wipe the soot off eddie's mouth because he learned that lesson the hard way
