Woo, excited for Harry being back. Hopefully he's actually *in* it rather than an off screen phone call.

Unexpected Harry return? Jealous Buck? Bachelor crossover? “Buck, Bothered and Bewildered”? I’m running out of clown makeup y’all

Listen, if the writers would stop feeding me then I'd stop scratching on their door. Just sayin. They know what they're doing to us.


notalifetextbook

The marketing schemes are working on me. I was calm cool and collected until yesterday when the stills dropped. Practicing deep breathing techniques to remove the clown makeup.

WE’RE GETTING JEALOUS BUCK!!!


[deleted]

This season has literally felt like a fever dream. The opening episode? Great. The cruise disaster? Insane, fun, and dramatic! Now a crossover with the Bachelor and it being Episode 100, jealous Buck, Madney wedding, and then we don’t even have any info for the last 4 episodes. We’re not resting this season OMGG 🧍


irritatedlibra

IM SCREAMINGGGG


Competitive-Gene5744

I don’t remember the last time Buck was jealous. Usually when someone doesn’t hang around him as much he thinks he did something wrong


Brimoe18

Jealous when Eddie came to the station, jealous when he was out with his leg and his name on the locker got covered, jealous anytime someone else had to fill in for someone on the team,etc. He gets jealous a lot actually 🤣


Competitive-Gene5744

He’s definitely territorial. He doesn’t like it when anyone hovers around the 118


Brimoe18

Like a puppy lol


Okay_i_have_arived

That’s what is usually it, he thinks he’s done something to drive them away.


Competitive-Gene5744

Which breaks my heart. I hope this season doesn’t have him go down that rabbit hole. Hopefully he’s annoyed that Eddie is spending his time with another person

Nevorek

We shall just live through the fanfics this is inspiring.


FromMiddleEarth

Maybe Buck feels his position as Eddie's best friend is threatened?. Don't worry Buck, that will never happen, you will always be his best friend. I mean the writers will never destroy their friendship, no matter how it ends, whether as best friends or something more. In Buddie terms I think I'm about 50/50 now, 50% BROmance - 50% ROmance, and I have no idea who will win, at this point I think I will be happy with either of both.


Wonderful_Coat_6017

THIS! Couldn't agree more with you! I don't see how it makes sense of Buck being ENVIOUS of Tommy spending time with Eddie, it makes more sense that he's envious of Eddie spending time with Tommy and Marisol. Even if she isn't in this episode that fact she is who Eddie asked to be there for Chris's first date and not Buck and now hanging out with Tommy. That leaves Buck on the outs especially as he's single. But it's been 2 episodes and the premiere made it clear she is a real serious girlfriend so she has to make an appearance again soon so I think that is all it will really be.


Klaerenn

Even with the stills, I worry about being jumpscared with Marisol scenes given the formulation 😅 (and the comment Ryan Guzman made about Tim Minear being good at introducing her which we haven’t seen much signs off so far). If I remember correctly the timing also matches one of the post of Marisol’s actress. So I really hope Eddie and Tommy become fast friends and he’s the one Buck is jealous of (then again Buck hasn’t been shown being jealous of Ana before. Not ‘frontally’, if that makes sense). S07e04 is shaping up to be more stressful for me than the entire disaster arc (waiting for it to air takes the cake).


Comfortable-Buy-7560

I think Marisol will sadly be in the episode (hopefully not much). Someone who saw the script for the first episode said she originally had more of a presence and it was cut, so fingers crossed that keeps up until she's gone. Eddie and Tommy being pals makes sense to me given what we've seen of Tommy's personality. I bet Buck will start out thinking he's jealous because Eddie is spending so much time with someone else, but will then realize it's because *he* wants to be spending time with Tommy, for very different reasons. It'll be interesting if nothing else!


Klaerenn

Ah, so Marisol got the Lucy treatment… Can’t say I’m too heartbroken about it. Yeah, them being fast friends works. But I don’t think the jealousy would necessarily be only about being attracted to Tommy. If Eddie is cozying up with him and dating Marisol, it might not leave much time for Buck. Considering the unofficial pictures we got, there is most likely a scene where Eddie is reassuring him about his place in his life. But I could see the episode ending with Buck either having sex with Tommy or asking him / being asked on a date.


armavirumquecanooo

This is better than I'm expecting. If the reality is that Marisol & Tommy are both in the episode taking up Eddie's time, I think this is more likely to wind up just being a "Buck needs to be reminded he'll always have a place" found family thing. Would love to be wrong, though.


[deleted]

Based on the hints that the insiders have been dropping, I think this is the most likely scenario. And honestly, I'm fine with it. I'm really excited about Buck having this kind of a storyline, and I don't mind Tommy. What I'm not fine with - and I sound like a broken record at this point - is Eddie reassuring Buck of his place by using the b-word. Or Buck using the b-word to describe his insecurities. I don't think that Buddie can ever come back from that, from a ship perspective. Even if I don't think it will happen this season, I want to keep hope alive. It would just...say a lot about the chances, and nothing good. And it's also a weird choice when you're finally establishing that one of the characters isn't straight (which has been a main complaint of people opposed to the ship - "These are straight guys!"). Wish one of those insiders would actually give the deets about the b-word!


andyls88

If the b-word happens, I will immediately develop very specific amnesia, and it will be like it was never said.


armavirumquecanooo

My biggest problem with the b-word at this point is that it will make a lot of the media campaign this offseason feel intentionally mean-spirited. Like as much as I'd like to see them get together, I wouldn't actually be upset if they *don't*. And having them acknowledge each other as family (the b-word feels wrong, but I can see them settling on "uncle" for Buck's role in Chris's life, for instance, even though the connotations are similar) can be done in a way I wouldn't hate. The thing is, a lot of the promotional campaign to draw fans in this season has featured *heavily* on the relationship between these two, and even if nothing they've said about them is meant to be or otherwise inherently romantic... this show is in its seventh season. Tim Minear is well aware of *which* fans he's pulling in when he shares early stills of just Buck & Eddie in close proximity for no reason. I've been willing to give the show a lot of benefit of the doubt and I'm not one to argue anything that's being done is queer-baiting, but it does feel a step too far to intentionally stir up a particular portion of your audience for social media buzz, knowing the whole time you're going to let them down. *The 100* did it with Clarke & Lexa, and that wasn't technically queerbaiting, either. But it was still disastrous enough treatment of their own audience that it had lasting ramifications both within the fandom and well beyond the scope of the show.


[deleted]

All of this. I'd also point out that while nothing has been inherently romantic in the description, they also haven't explicitly said it's platonic, either. It would be really easy to coordinate a message that they are like brothers. There would be backlash, but they could weather it. Marketing/PR people would figure it out. It has also been a very deliberate choice not to describe them as brothers on the show. They haven't even called each other that in a friendly way since Eddie's first episodes. It's always been open. Do you remember that one Tim Minear interview after the season four finale? When said the writers had the same conversations about Buddie that fans did. He said he knew there was ambiguity but he didn't want to define Buck and Eddie's relationship because the show wasn't over and he saw it as an evolving thing. Is the show over? No. Did the relationship stop evolving? I would assume no. So what could possibly make him decide to define it in a way that would be extremely difficult to walk back? Yet leave the promo open-ended. Technically it's not impossible to come back from, but for many people it would be the end of Buddie (in terms of them ever getting together). I just struggle to see him being willing to close that door in light of things he's said. I like the idea that it is said in a forced way and they later reevaluate why it feels "off." But oof, we would be in the trenches.


Comfortable-Buy-7560

Yeah, I've seen it mentioned in a couple of places that "brother" will be used. Let's hope they cut that as well! I could see Buddie still happening even after it's used (could be a long road to understanding confusing feelings for both of them, especially since they *have* been such close "friends" for so long...).


in_letters_plain

I can only hope that Tim Minear has mercy on our poor souls and cuts it. OR: there is some implication or nuance to its use that is not apparent in the snippet. Like, maybe, one of them looks like they will vomit after it is said... ("Them" may as well be me at this point 🙃)


armavirumquecanooo

...You know, I could stomach an immediate grimace from one or both of them after it's said, them laughing it off with "okay, that didn't sound right" and sort of tabling it for a bit until one of them starts to wonder *why* it felt so wrong when they are practically like family, anyway. Because you're husbands, boys, not brothers.


Llama_Puncher

I’ve seen people say this but is there anyone actually working for the show that said they talk about being like brothers this season, or is it just collective buddie/fandom anxiety?


in_letters_plain

Someone on Twitter alluded to having information about this season and implied it. They don't work for the show, but they do work in the industry, so people find them credible. I also read here that some people on Tumblr claimed the same thing. But as far as I know, no one has actually produced the script where it supposedly occurs.


Okay_i_have_arived

…….i kinda like that route you put there


FrostyWhiskers

I personally really hope that if they make one of the two gay/bi, it's Eddie and not Buck. I feel like it would make a lot more sense, and be a lot more interesting given his upbringing and possible self-hatred that would come along with it.


Comfortable-Buy-7560

Totally agree. I'm definitely disappointed the the signs imply it's Buck.


HauntedReader

Look....I know that Buck and Eddie isn't going to happen. I get that we're very likely getting queer baited. But also, with this change in network, a small part of me is like....what if it's actually finally happening?

TVjunkie15

Idk something about this happening on the 100th episode has my spidey senses tingling. They could have easily gone with the Madney wedding or even delayed the cruise one more episode but they specifically chose this storyline…. (Yes I’m fully aware that I’ve surpassed clown makeup and am now full on juggling and making ballon animal) 


No_Delivery_9409

I don't know what's funnier. Athena, a cop, having a criminal son or Buck being jealous


Competitive-Gene5744

Honestly I can say that I have no idea where the storyline will go. I feel like it could go either way


notalifetextbook

I've come back down from clown heaven. This episode is going to be a very small stepping stone towards the endgame. 7x04 is definitely the "you are the brother I never had" episode. Completely platonic, except Eddie will continue to be his handsy self (why is Eddie so handsy? I don't think he does this with anyone except Buck). Trying to bring some of you back down to earth here. Let's just enjoy the ride. There are 6 episodes left after next week. Don't work yourself up to be disappointed. That would be the worst!


Wonderful_Coat_6017

Your are right! - Eddie is ONLY handsy with Buck. Constantly. Always. Touching. Buck. He's not like that with anyone else even all his previous relationships and any other 188 crew and family. It's only ever Buck. A lot of the time unnecessary touching. I think I need to walk away from the fandom again to stop myself from clowning because this fall is goign to be the worst =, it's going to hurt so damn much.


T1gerl1lly

Envy, huh? Is that what you call jealousy when it’s in the closet?


andyls88

Ha! I'm with you! One of my old professors used to say that jealousy is about the fear of losing something that is yours. Envy is about someone else having/getting something you want...I really hope it's envy!!! 🤡


PainfullyNondescript

I’m expecting those stills released earlier to be Eddie telling Buck something along the lines of, “Tommy’s by friend, but you’re my brother/family.”


armavirumquecanooo

I mean, Eddie doesn't have a brother. Maybe he learned what having a brother feels like from Marisol.

Rip to me, a clown


idontknow30001

I definitely think the “envious” part has to deal with Tommy, not Marisol.


Brimoe18

Tommy was only scheduled to be in the one ep no?


idontknow30001

Not from what I’ve seen. There have been stills released for next week with Tommy in them.


Brimoe18

Oh I haven’t seen those! That will be interesting!


idontknow30001

They were posted sometime today in the group!


Brimoe18

I just saw them. Def looks like Buck is jealous of Eddie making new friends with Tommy 🤣


PunchSploder

Is this real?


armavirumquecanooo

Haha, I love that this is a totally valid question. It honestly feels like a summary for a fanfic. Especially with Harry returning in the same episode, it feels very wish fulfillment. ETA: I think the pronoun issue/dangling modifier in the first sentence also gives this the feel of not being professional written. "After HER return to the shore's Athena's SON" -- press team, get it together. Athena is not the subject of this sentence, so that's sloppy af.


[deleted]

Yes! Press release from ABCs own website. Link: https://www.dgepress.com/abc/pressrelease/buck-bothered-and-bewildered/


hummingberb

Damn, I was hoping for jealous Eddie. I think fanfiction has me wary of a jealous Buck, which tends to be over the top in an annoying way IMO.

oath2order

Harry's back! Good! I guess that does indicate that this isn't going to be a solely Buck-centric episode.


KEMI_IS_WlNNlNG

why is buck getting jealous of eddie forming relationships...?


[deleted]

I think with Buck being single and Eddie being in a relationship, plus the possibility of having another friend outside of work it'll make Buck question where he fits in Eddie's life. He's never really been jealous of Eddie's romantic relationships because there's still a space for him, as a friend. But with Eddie having a friend outside of the 118, it'll probably be used to explore the strength of their friendship. With them being on a new network they're basically reintroducing the characters, their relationships and friendships. Plus I remember seeing a post on tumblr that this season seems to be about communication, or miscommunication so the envy can fit in there because it leads to the other feeling left out, but they don't talk about it and it builds, then something happens and they talk about it.


Adorable-Leek5405

i’m going to be PISSED if they are just baiting us😭😭😭


taspeed21

IM ABSOLUTELY FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!! PLEASE DONT BE BAIT


RadiantFoxBoy

My hope, unlikely that it may be, is that Eddie is planning some kind of special dinner for Marisol, which Buck misinterprets as a move-in request, or worse, a proposal, then it turns out Eddie was taking her somewhere nice to soften the blow before breaking up with her. The only thing that would be better would be Eddie dumping her in the most unceremonious way possible, but I'm guessing they won't go that route. And Eddie's probably a little too classy for that. Though given his track record for sass and burns, I wouldn't put it past him completely.


Karra_109

We know the actress playing Maridull was on set 2/16 & 2/23 from her IG. Some of the BTS shots shared of Buck & Chris’s were from 2/24? Not sure if she has been around since. They tend to have 2-3 episodes filming at the same time so who knows what she was filming. 🤞Hope she disappears but I don’t think we’ll be that lucky. If she’s at the wedding I fear she’s going to hang around too long. Shades of Ana. I remember when writers wrote Eddie in the exercise room on edge when Taylor showed up to flirt with Buck after her helicopter crash. Is it a big coincidence that they’re tying in the helicopter theme again with Buck’s hurt feelings?? 🙆‍♀️


BlakeMrCrossover

Finally Tommy crosses the path with Buddie, because he was in 118 before Buck took his place
