They moved seamlessly around Buck’s kitchen like it’s something they’ve done many times before and they were also taking care of each other while keeping an eye on Christopher.

Eddie took all three of their plates and put them in the sink while Buck pulled two beers from the fridge, opened both bottles and slid one over to Eddie.

The Kitchen Scene was very domestic as it included both HUSBANDS Buck and Eddie entering the kitchen while they left Christopher in the living room watching TV. Let’s be clear, Buck’s second apology was about their relationship outside of work while the first one was specifically about their work partnership since it took place inside of the firehouse. Reminder: this was after everything that happened starting with 3-4 “Triggers” through 3x8 “Malfunction” including Christopher’s nightmares, Buck seeing that Lena was Eddie’s new partner at the 118, the lawsuit, the grocery store argument, Eddie’s illegal fight club shenanigans and Eddie’s mandatory therapy with Frank. Based on how Buck responded to Eddie’s comments, it should have been obvious that he and Eddie have had adult conversations there before without Christopher being present.īuck apologized to Eddie once at the firehouse in 3圆 “Monsters” and his second apology happened in 3x9 “Fallout” while they were in Buck’s loft inside of his kitchen. Buck’s demeanor changed from him being angry to him being soft and reassuring when he realized Christopher was there too. Buck had no idea that Christopher was there until he heard him say “Hey Buck”. Also he and Eddie were in a domestic dispute about Buck’s depression until Eddie’s secret weapon, Christopher spoke up. If he thought it was a burglar or Maddie he would have gotten up. Since Buck’s a firefighter he’s trained to listen for noises while he’s sleeping and since he lives in a big open room with an upstairs that has no walls, it should have led the audience to two specific points: (1) Eddie obviously had entered Buck’s loft before with his key and (2) when Buck heard the door to his loft open, he knew it was Eddie because he didn’t get up. A loft is a huge open space with doors only being attached to the bathrooms.

Reminder: Buck lives in a loft and he’s a firefighter. Secondly, the way he did it was very domestic, it was kind of like Eddie had already been coming over to the loft for a while especially since Shannon died in 2x17 “Careful What You Wish For” and since Buck’s leg got crushed after the ladder truck exploded and Ali broke up with him in 2x18 “This Life We Choose”. The first thing to note is that he entered Buck’s bedroom which is the most private and intimate space within a person’s home. In 3x1 “Kids Today”, Eddie entered Buck’s loft with his key and after he got Christopher situated, he proceeded upstairs and entered Buck’s bedroom.
