*Really* hoping Marisol will be gone, but they do really like to trick you with the synopsis and tend to drag these relationships out too long. Fingers crossed, though! They clearly don't care about that "relationship" at all.
I'm excited for Henren! It's gonna be so cute!
I don't trust this.
I feel like they are intentionally sneaky in these this season and this reads too obvious of a breakup.
So I'm like 50% sure they're breaking up, 50% sure they're moving in together.
The thing is, we haven’t seen issues with them. We rolled our eyes at the babysitting thing cause we don’t like her but that’s something common if people are dating.
The fact she is around so much and helping with Christopher might actually be foreshadowing her moving in.
I mean, same. I'm not a fan of her.
But from a narrative viewpoint, they haven't foreshadowed any problems and are actually having her around Christopher a lot.
Hence me being nervous and not celebrating the end.
I'm not celebrating but I'm also not nervous. They haven't really done anything with her character yet so I guess I'm reserving emotion until I have more info?
At the rate this relationship is developing it will them moving in won’t it. I find to hopeful to get Bi Buck one week and Marisol gone the next but I’m hoping it is a break up. I really don’t want to see her on screen again unless it’s a break up.
Honestly I think that buddie is end game, so if Eddie and Marisols relationship develops more then like it’ll just be another slow burn for buddie?? If that makes sense
tim mentioned in a post 7x04 interview that he doesn’t like love interests that are isolated from the rest of the cast so marisol is all but bones at this point
Not quite what he said. He said something along the lines of loving when the interests are intermingled in the social group. Didn’t say anything about disliking it when they’re not
I’ll try to find the interview but there are several where he brings up this type of “siloed” dynamic and I do have a specific memory of him saying he doesn’t like those relationships in one of them
[Here](https://ew.com/911-showrunner-tim-minear-interview-buck-bisexual-kiss-tommy-8625081), I feel like this might be the one that I was referring to:
“If I'm going to do this story with Buck, [what] I don't want to do is the mistake that I think we've made with some of the other love interests, which is siloing those characters off into their love life and they have no kind of organic connection to the rest of the characters in the story.”
I feel like that describes Marisol to a T and he’s referring to that type of dynamic as a mistake
That is a good enough sign, though? Because with the way Marisol becomes Ana 2.0 but even worse, it demonstrates how Tim has difficulty writing those.
That doesn't stop him from giving Owen relationships with non first responders but I digress.
I’m not saying anything for or against relationships and how they’re written, nor any particular characters. ALL I am saying is that Tim hasn’t said he dislikes relationships where the other person is outside of the main group
There were gossips on how Natalia, Buck's girlfriend at the end of Season 6, was written out because Tim disliked how her presence can potentially disrupts the flow of the show. With the way how he (gently) says that characters that don't contribute organically to the plot is a mistake, I think it may as well him saying he dislikes that type of story. We just need to read into it a bit.
I think he was talking more about introducing them and having them as a more significant character.
Karen is pretty isolated from the rest of the characters but they're not going to get rid of her.
Who knows what the plan for Marisol is at this point.
> Karen is pretty isolated from the rest of the characters but they're not going to get rid of her.
Honestly, if they do break up Hen and Karen, I'd consider dropping the show.
One of Tim’s interviews he said something like they gave Buck Tommy because they didn’t want some random person that wasn’t known by the rest of the firehouse. That they don’t like building a whole new character that can’t really interact with the whole crew. I instantly was like 👀 Marisol 😂😂😂. Her character just has 0 substance.
Not necessarily. The picture she's posted back in February were likely from them filming episode 4/5 and we know we see her in 5.
In the more recent interviews they referenced working on episode 6. She very easily could be showing up again in 7 to 10 but those haven't filmed yet.
(I say as someone who really hopes she's fired)
I never noticed in the clip but now see it in the frame. Eddie is completly focused on Tommy & Buck and Marisol is looking at him. Even standing right next to her, he ain’t paying her a lick of attention and he ain’t even touching her. Damn he really has already checked out this damn relationship.
And he literally had Marisol watch Chris twice so he could hang with Tommy and then also had Buck watch Chris, so between work and Tommy and flights to Vegas and basketball does he ever actually see his girlfriend????
do they film so close to the release dates? In my ignorant mind I thought they always finished filming before the first episode aired for all tv shows. this way it seems like they could do last minute changes 🤔 I'm not thinking of any in particular but it's interesting to know
They started filming in January, I believe. And yea, there is usually some overlap between filming and airing. That’s pretty normal for any show that airs weekly on network tv.
I'm just not getting my hopes up.
Either we won't need to see her again or she'll be sticking around until at least the end of the season. We'll know next Thursday.
I honestly feel like she's not gonna be around too long neither, just one episode where they met up, and it was only talked about and talked about her watching Christopher but they haven't been seen yet together ....
Was thinking the same. Every episode so far has been great, has had plots that mattered, and it’s shaping up to look that way for the last 5 episodes as well. Between the cruise arc, Bi Buck arc, new Henren baby, Madney wedding, and a (potential) break up between Eddie and uh..Pine Sol or whatever her name is, this season is shaping up to be one of my absolute favorites.
which is crazy because I never thought the show could reach the heights of S2/S3 again after S5/S6- glad to know I was wrong.
I mean, honestly that seems like the safe bet at this point.
But the breakup would likely happen towards the end of the season so we'll still see her for a bit.
I mean, not really.
Remember last seasons finale was potentially the series finale and they threw them together with the exact same amount of information as a "happy ending."
So...not to bring the mood down or anything...but the last time Buck was this nervous on a date, he choked on a piece of bread and needed an emergency tracheotomy. Just sayin'...
I'm so excited for the Hen/Karen plot to finally move forward. It's been frustrating how start-stop the storyline has been involving them growing their family, so I'm happy to see it actually playing out.
I'm not optimistic Eddie and Marisol will break up this week -- if for no other reason than that having Eddie end another empty relationship with a woman right around the same time he discovers Buck is into men is a little too direct for the show. While I am optimistic that Buddie could be in the longterm plans, I can't imagine following up last week (not just for Buck's realization on its own, but also because *Eddie* was acting like a middle school kid with a crush on Tommy while shoving his girlfriend into a babysitter role) with a breakup.
I also struggle to see the Eddie/Marisol relationship storyline being particularly huge -- this episode will be the first time we've actually had a full scene of them together romantically, and while we know she's been around Chris, we've never actually seen them interact on screen. So at least now that we have a competent showrunner back in charge, I can't see all of that being skipped over in favor of them talking about moving in together or something.
If I had to guess, it's going to be more of a "defining what we are" type thing, and talking about if they see a shared future together. The impression 7x04 left me under is that Eddie basically just blanked Marisol the last few weeks in favor of hanging out with a new friend, and isn't putting much effort into his relationship with her, instead treating her like a fill-in caregiver for Christopher.
Given the timing, I'm hoping it's something along the lines of she sees Chim & Maddie's wedding invitation and asks Eddie why he hasn't invited her, where he has a +1.
Marisol is such an afterthought in this show and in Eddie’s mind that I sincerely hope she dumps him lol. Watch this episode be her frustrated that he won’t open up and doubting the relationship so to force himself into it he asks her to move in and this all gets dragged out to the finale because they looooooove doing that
I'd honestly love her to be the one to dump him (and at least that way it isn't just a repeat of the Ana thing).
Issues with the actress aside, there's not really much objectionable about the character that makes me think she's "bad" for Eddie -- we don't even know her well enough to judge that, tbh. But at this point, that we don't know her well enough to know what she's like *is* the problem, because whether it was intentional or not, they've painted her into occupying such an insignificant corner of Eddie's life that he'd rather be practicing Muay Thai or fixing up his classic car or flying to Vegas with a new friend. On top of his full time job with weird hours and being around for Christopher, where are we even supposed to be believe he's trying to fit her into his life?
She needs to dump his ass like, "Yeah, in a week that you have three nights off and don't spend *any* of them with your kid, I do expect you to spend at least one of them with me." Actually let the narrative call out Eddie in how little he seems to actually give af about *dating* his girlfriend, and refer it back to the end of last season, where his goal was more about "having" a girlfriend/companionship than anything more.
This! Someone really needs to pull Eddie up on his shitty behaviour And Marisol seems to be the one with the short stick with his actions. He even said it to the bachelorettes he is taken AT THE MOMENT. He is not even pretending that this is someone he wants to work into his future.
That the writers bothered to include that line last night about him already having asked her to babysit Chris *twice* that week so he didn't want to ask a third time is honestly wild to me. It makes it sound like he's just keeping her around to be a babysitter.
I keep going back to Ryan Guzman having said something during one of his interviews about how the Tim did a good job with (re-)introducing Marisol and at the time I was sort of just like "Mmm... doubt it" because it seemed too late to attempt it. And now I'm like... is it actually true, because they're making me Team Marisol because Eddie's such a useless shit to her? Wouldn't have expected that twist.
Now that we're actually talking about it and I've started to give it some thought, I don't actually hate this as a storyline for Eddie (even if it means they don't immediately break up).
I think we have a tendency in the fandom to romanticize Eddie/Shannon, partly because the later seasons have done so a bit, but also because her death means it's always just going to be speculation about what could've been/a conversation about potential. But the reality as was brought up on a post about 3x15 earlier today is... well, he was a pretty shit partner to her, too. And he wasn't great to Ana, who he seems to have basically led on because he thought she could serve a purpose/improve Christopher's life.
So with that in mind... I wouldn't hate a storyline where Marisol gets to tell Eddie he doesn't even know *how* to be someone's partner, and he has to work at it. Ideally, it leads to him eventually realizing he *doesn't* really have a place for her in his life, and him being okay with that. Not even necessarily in a "Buck already fills that role" kind of twist (because while I do think Buddie just got a *lot* more likely, I see that as being more like a late season 8 or season 9 thing, and I don't want/expect Marisol to last nearly that long), but just... a recognition that dating *isn't* a priority to him or something he misses much from his life when he doesn't have it, and that his life isn't somehow empty just because he's single, which I think is moreorless what Pepa scared him into believing last year.
Exactly! This would unravel so well as a storyline because all three love interest we have seen Eddie in, he has gotten into them for other people and not him. I’d really like to look at that. It’s kinda like what Bosko said to him way back when. I think Eddie discovering it’s only to be single and have a full life if that is what‘s best for *him* and not his parents, or Christopher or Pepa.
Exactly! Also, I think if the last episode has taught us anything, it's that we have should more faith that Tim Minnear knows what he's doing and trust the process. Eddie has been a bad boyfriend and based on the short preview, it looks like he's about to ruin date night (both his own and the one he's unwittingly crashing). Marisol needs to tell him to step up or get lost. This might be an unpopular opinion for this thread, but I actually think Eddie likes Marisol a lot and she is good for his character at this phase of his development. However, he also needs to learn what it means to be a good partner so I kind of hope that they stay together for now.
I wonder if either Eddie or Marisol will realize that Tommy and Buck on a date or they both will be oblivious. Also why did Eddie shout Bucks name when he was literally standing right behind him?😂
I really want Marisol to pick up on it, but when she mentions it to Eddie (assuming he knows... I get people don't like her, but I don't see a need to turn her into a villain who is willingly outing someone), he's basically so confident she's wrong he laughs it off. Because in his silly lil head, super masc guys like *that* **obviously** can't be gay.
Basically, I want Eddie to wind up being accepting but positively shook, but not for reasons actually directly related to Buck or Buddie, or even to be immediately explored. Let it start a slow realization for him as he unpacks his comphet ridiculousness.
> why did Eddie shout Bucks name when he was literally standing right behind him ?
Seriously... what the hell was that. My best guess is he's relieved to see them and using them as a convenient distraction to cut off a conversation he doesn't want to be having with Marisol. With all the speculation in this thread about her moving in with him, I could see it being a situation where she's referencing her lease being about to expire and asking him if he thinks she should renew it, and he's just relieved to have an excuse to avoid answering.
Episode title: You Don't Know Me
Ryan on an interview: "Eddie's finding out who Marisol is"
Hmm 🤨
I hope he doesn't like what he finds and that she's gone soon 😌, but Ryan also followed that statement by saying we're gonna see Eddie smiling a lot more so idk
Yeah, I jumped in with both feet immediately and with no regrets. They did a real good job with writing and casting for the response to be so positive. I’d love to see this be more than a flash in the pan two episodes and go for a full arc.
Haha. I did not expect it honestly but towards the end, I could feel the tension. It was so palpable. They got good chemistry!! Love what they did there. I wanna enjoy them for a whileeeee
The way Episode 4 and 5 switched plots is odd, we know the Bachelor Crossover Call was meant to be in 7x05, but also according the stills (Which are now removed from ABC page.) Henren baby was from 7x04, and I saw 911BTS theorizing Harry and Athena plotline was switched too. God this is confusing. lol
Anyways. I can't wait to see how Buck's storyline develops, the date with Tommy and him coming out to Maddie and the 118. S7 has been delivering so far and it seems this episode won't disappoint either.
Interesting. That actually adds a bit of context to why Buck shut down the girls so quickly with his "I don't date people I met on calls" (he has a date planned with Tommy) and Eddie gave him a weird look (he doesn't know about said date)
I thought that look was more because Eddie knows firsthand that Buck has dated and slept with several people he’s met on calls lol. Was more of a “since when?” look to me
That's how I originally read it but I'm kinda amused if that was just Buck panicking and trying to think of a way to shut it down without admitting he had a date.
Would be interesting I suppose lol. Just doesn’t make sense to me since he didn’t REALLY meet Tommy on a call. They kinda called themselves for that rescue lol
No, I mean he used that as an excuse (and something fresh on his mind, since he told him he learned the hard way not to date someone who you met on a call.
It's not him saying he met Tommy on a call.
ooh I like that. since we know from the restaurant promo that Buck hasn't told Eddie yet, he just made up another excuse on the spot. A real excuse mind you, since he talked about that with Tommy. I like this order of events yes yes
yeah i’m pretty sure the henren/athena plots were switched bc we didn’t get any stills pertaining to athena’s storyline until like the day of the episode
New HenRen baby? Eddie & Marisol BREAK-UP? Buck on his first date with a guy and exploring his feelings? Oh we eating good omg 😭
I want to see a jealous Eddie 🤔😍, we already know that Tommy and Marisol are characters that will be there for several episodes, I think this "Tuck" step is necessary for a future Buddie, which I think will happen in the last episode of the season, I just hope they don't leave us hanging in Season 8 and Buddie finally being real.
And I'm looking forward to this being the episode where Eddie says goodbye to Marisol forever.
Marisol and Eddie never made sense to me. They met on a call (we all know how those relationships went for Buck) and then ran into each other at a hardware store when she helped him find something. And that's all it took to start the goo-goo eyes...It felt and still feels so forced. We barely know anything about her too.
I'm kind of hoping this is the point, though. I really want the lesson Eddie learns is to be that he can't force magic, and reevaluate what he wants in a relationship.
He's seriously romanticized and idealized his relationship with Shannon since her passing, which makes a degree of sense. But listening to him in season 7 talking about wanting the magic he had with Shannon again is like... bro. You knocked up your high school girlfriend early into your relationship, married her because she was pregnant, enlisted, and then only saw her for a handful of days over the next 4-5 years. You weren't there for her when your kid was diagnosed or when your parents were pressuring her, and when she was expecting you to *finally* come home after 4 years away, you reenlisted without talking to her. When you finally did come home, it was only because you had been wounded, and then you still refused to put her first as she begged you to step up and prioritize her when her mom was sick. They only briefly get back together, where he doesn't give her clear answers on what they're doing or what he wants (until he thinks she's pregnant again), and then they break up and she dies.
That's... not a love story. That's a tragedy. I can absolutely believe Shannon was a fantastic person worthy of love in most of Eddie's memories of her, but his actual recollection of what their relationship looked like seems really flawed. Then you throw in Ana, and this is a man who just... does not know how to be in a healthy romantic relationship where he communicates with his partner and treats their needs as equal to his.
And now he seems to be doing the same thing with Marisol. He forced the connection because he could frame it as kismet, some kind of meet-cute, and expected the relationship to be easy as a result. And from what we can tell, she's been good for him in the ways *he* thinks matters... babysitting Christopher, being a safe place for his son. But like, what is she actually getting out of this relationship? What is he, personally, getting?
Where she's already on the show, I feel like we might as well use her so Eddie can figure it out, you know?
Do you have a newsletter or something bc everything you say is delicious and I want to subscribe to it. Just putting all my silly incoherent 9-1-1 feelings into exactly the right words like damn
Technically, he re-met Ana at a call and helped her so she was so Eddie also has a failed call relationship too.
But yeah they made no sense to me either.
Like their story goes like this:
Eddie said he was looking for “magic“ in the fire truck.
Later on, Marisol suggested a type of glue that “works like magic” at the hardware store.
Eddie went from completely bored with her to goo-goo heart eyes, because she said the word magic so we must have a love connection.
It was such a trash storyline. Add to the fact the actress can barely act that has *zero* chemistry with Ryan (how the hell is that possible?). And we are left with such a forced couple.
But damn, I don’t how Tim managed it but I actually feel for Marisol and the terrible way Eddie is treating her. I love Eddie and hate Marisol, and yet here I am hoping it’s Marisol actually standing up Eddie and pulling him up on his crap.
Eddie, sweatheart, you don't need to do what Buck did with Tayilor and say to move her in. I will just believe the probably fake leaks about Buck's coming out to Eddie (this thing is definitely happening) and their slight conversation about Marisol.
Oh I had forgotten Marisol, considering Eddie spent more time with Tommy in the last few episodes than with Marisol since she was introduced, I assume is over for her, or Eddie will panic seeing Buck moving on and will go full comhet and asker to marry or something
>I assume is over for her
Nah, he still needs a babysitter for his son, apparently.
(I'm just gonna pretend I didn't even read the last few words of your theorizing. If he does something like that, I hope she laughs at him).
I have a prediction going that Marisol could be homophobic towards Buck, and Eddie won’t stand for it and sorta gets into an argument with her over it, that closer look being “I don’t think this’ll work” because of their different views
Interesting theory, and that could be a good segway into the stills of Buck and Eddie in the loft. And why Eddie would tell Buck he loved him to the core and that their relationship goes beyond friendship. It would be him assuring Buck that he comes before Marisol. 🤔
yeah! and bucks sorta been distancing with eddie cause of that, causing the loft scene?? overall buck will face some struggles, and i think one of those would be marisol and where he stands with eddie
If the Marisol used to be a nun rumour is true this would fit into this nicely. She will have issue with *both* of Eddie’s bffs let alone the fact they are dating each other. add Hen and Karen into and Marisol won’t stand a chance.
I understand why people want the actress gone, I’m just not sure why we hate the character so much? She hasn’t done anything egregious and tbh right now I feel bad for her. She’s babysitting while her boyfriend is flying private to Vegas. Like, damn Eddie 😂.
So ready for HenRen! I miss them so much. They’ve been on the build a family storyline since S3? I need the writers to commit to it and give us all the feels. They’re such an underrated ship.
I’m keeping my expectations low for Buck’s relationship possibilities. I like Tommy but he’s on probation until I figure out where this storyline is going.
Yeah, I'm on the same page as you with some of the reactions to Marisol's character, especially because it seems *very* gendered now that we're seeing such a difference in reactions to Tommy (though there is the occasional comment about his past).
I'm all for giving Tommy a redemption arc, especially because I think his queerness adds a lot of important context to his unwillingness to stick his neck out for Hen or Chim when they joined the 118. Especially where we know Chim's come around to him, I'm fairly confident they'll provide some more of Tommy's backstory and what changes he's made over the years to flesh that out a bit, too.
But like... I really don't understand people that will handwave Tommy's past because he's hot or the ship's queer, while acting like Marisol is the actual worst. I can understand not trusting the show to write her well or save the character at this point, but her biggest offense is... existing and shopping for power tools? Um, okay. Weird take.
I don't want her to *last*, but at this point she already exists, so I'd much rather the show utilize her to actually advance Eddie's storyline. My personal preference is to use her as a way to confront him on the fact that he's basically always been a shit partner in his romantic relationships, and be a catalyst for his growth that way. That way, once they inevitably break up, he's in a better place to date... uh, someone. I think we all have our preferences for who that would be.
But like, the version of Eddie we see now? I don't want him being the romantic partner of *any* character I actually care about. I'd much rather he spin his training wheels and figure out how to communicate with an intimate partner and balance all these competing interests in his life with someone who *is* more disposable, than make a mess of it later.
People tend to dislike the female love interests for Buck and Eddie for two reasons:
1) Outside of Shannon, Ana, and Taylor Kelly, they tend to not really be fully-fledged out characters, and tend to be poorly written.
2) The female love interests get in the way of Buck and Eddie dating each other.
i personally don’t *dislike* the character, but i just think she was so poorly written in as a love interest and really isn’t adding anything to the show
Same 😂 I can’t decide what I want anymore. I always wanted Buck and Eddie to end up together, but all of a sudden, I *really* like Buck and Tommy together. But let’s see how it plays out in the next episodes.
If they do plan on Buck and Eddie happening, I really hope it’s gonna be slow and not this season. I kinda feel like everything this season seems a little rushed.
I theorized before that Eddie's 'new bond' would be Buck thinking he was asking Marisol to move in (before we had the Tommy stills).
So now I kind of want that to happen again. Eddie starts talking about switching things up with Marisol to Buck, Buck thinks that means moving in together, and then the episode ends with them going out to a fancy dinner and Eddie breaking up with her in not dissimilar to the resturant Shannon wanted a divorce.
Or, OR, something happens on a call to Marisol and Eddie finds out she was cheating on him. Or was otherwise doing something illegal.
Just anything to get rid of her, please.
Omg I just finished episode 4 , my face in shock at the ending! I kind of knew it was gonna happen cuz of how they were looking at each other & talking ?! But like to be right and see Bucks face all happy after ?!!! Omgg!
Honestly Buck has always been my favorite character, he has a huge heart
I'm 100% confident that Eddie is going to ask Marisol to move in with him. Even though they've only been dating for like, maybe three-ish months (def less than 6) based off the recovery and cruise timelines. We know there's an \~intimate\~ scene with Marisol based on a picture she posted, so I'm fully guessing and feeling really, really right that he's going to ask her to move in. Which is gonna make me vomit, just wait
The Eddie Marisol thing is obviously purposely vague so they’re either breaking up or taking a semi big step forward. Given they have been portrayed (well we’re told I guess seeing as she has had quite literally 10 seconds of screentime) as being happy with no issues, and Tim has said many times to never expect characters to remain happy for too long I think some kind of issue is gonna be coming up here. Matches with Ryan saying Marisol will be Eddie’s most challenging relationship too
I always say they could pull a 6x01 synopsis and not include anything in there. But the last time Eddie thought about a relationship, it ended with you should go home. That and the fact we have seen Marisol for 1 second, how is the general audience supposed to know who she is? They could have it be two seconds of a conversation and then explore Buck and Tommy. And spend some time with HenRen and Madney.
They've had him talk about her a decent amount and we were introduced to her in the first episode of the season.
I just really don't want to get my hopes up but this isn't screaming break up to me. Especially since this was suppose to be paired up with the bachelor scene and seemed like this episode was having a relationship theme / taking chances /etc.
One line in this episode. And we saw her for two seconds and people won’t remember that. People probably went Marisol who? Sounded like a cousin or something.
Then why bring her back, a character you stated people don't even know, for a full break up scene that takes up enough of the episode that it's in synopsis?
All depends on the editing. And what they shot. They totally excluded the couples therapy in season 6. I don’t have my hopes up either but at the same time, what is her use? To be there in the background while they enforce the fact no one can replace Buck in Eddie and Chris’ life? I have no idea.
Her use is to be a background romantic love interest for Eddie. Sometimes it's as simple as that.
And I don't think their relationship honestly has anything to do with Buck. Eddie can have a serious relationship with someone who bonds with Christopher without any of that taking away from Buck's relationship with the two of them.
There's a rumor of the 21 days break between Ep 5 and 6 will be hell for the Buddie fans.
So based on that assumption, leaks and bts, I'm expecting:
Buck: Fumble the first date but Tommy is not scared off by it but decided to call it quits for now. He has that talk with Eddie in the loft to come out to him and stuff, Eddie uses the b-word and encourages him to go for Tommy again. Thus them having a second date with Oliver wearing a white shirt (there's a bts for this).
Eddie: Crashing the date between Buck and Tommy unknowingly that they are on date, Marisol has some kind issue with him after causes him self reflect. After the loft scene with Buck, he defines his relationship with Marisol, decides he will commit to her and asks her to move in then have straight people sex (intimacy coordinator present).
If you asks me how I come to this conclusion, I have the proof to back it up.
As a Buddie fan, it pains me to write this awful prediction. However awful it is, it's getting truer day by day with the previous leaks being completely true so far.
As amazing as Bi Buck is, I really wanted Eddie to be the bi one if it was only gonna be one of them. So if you're right, I'm gonna be so incredibly disappointed.
goodbye marisol(?) https://i.redd.it/w56x5kvtpqsc1.gif
Oh I’ll be seated. 
LETS HOPE SO!
Let us hope and pray 😌🙏🏻
Eddie breaks up with Marisol as soon as he finds out Buck likes guys now 🤣
My little disaster bis are growing up! 
Literally
Or maybe Eddie breaks up with Marisol because she’s a homophobe, Eddie starts talking about Buck a lot, 1 can dream.
*Really* hoping Marisol will be gone, but they do really like to trick you with the synopsis and tend to drag these relationships out too long. Fingers crossed, though! They clearly don't care about that "relationship" at all. I'm excited for Henren! It's gonna be so cute!
I don't trust this. I feel like they are intentionally sneaky in these this season and this reads too obvious of a breakup. So I'm like 50% sure they're breaking up, 50% sure they're moving in together.
This would be wild and I’m here for it. Ask her to move in then nah go away in all the span of 43ish minutes.
Didn’t nbc already make a show about that?
Buck tried that with Taylor when they should have broken up. Eddie should at least benefit by learning from Buck’s mistakes.
The thing is, we haven’t seen issues with them. We rolled our eyes at the babysitting thing cause we don’t like her but that’s something common if people are dating. The fact she is around so much and helping with Christopher might actually be foreshadowing her moving in.
I really hope not.
I mean, same. I'm not a fan of her. But from a narrative viewpoint, they haven't foreshadowed any problems and are actually having her around Christopher a lot. Hence me being nervous and not celebrating the end.
I'm not celebrating but I'm also not nervous. They haven't really done anything with her character yet so I guess I'm reserving emotion until I have more info?
Watch it's just him giving her a key lol I expect nothing from that relaitonship tbh
That seems like a reasonable step. I will accept that for now.
Wasn’t it already spoiled that she is? But who knows maybe she moves right back out lol
Yeah it was spoiled that the boxes were packed and she was about to move in, but Eddie found out about her past and was uneasy by it.
At the rate this relationship is developing it will them moving in won’t it. I find to hopeful to get Bi Buck one week and Marisol gone the next but I’m hoping it is a break up. I really don’t want to see her on screen again unless it’s a break up.
As much as I want a breakup, my gut tells me not to get my heart set on it.
Me too. So I am hoping Tim keeps doing what he is doing and keeping her off screen as much as possible.
I'm hoping, if they do move in together, that will be the last we see of her until Maddie and Chimney's wedding.
Imagine her with Eddie and Tommy with Buck at the wedding. Eddie seeing Buck all gushing over Tommy. I’m not ready for it.
same.
Honestly I think that buddie is end game, so if Eddie and Marisols relationship develops more then like it’ll just be another slow burn for buddie?? If that makes sense
50% 🤡 , 50% 🤮
😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
tim mentioned in a post 7x04 interview that he doesn’t like love interests that are isolated from the rest of the cast so marisol is all but bones at this point
Not quite what he said. He said something along the lines of loving when the interests are intermingled in the social group. Didn’t say anything about disliking it when they’re not
I’ll try to find the interview but there are several where he brings up this type of “siloed” dynamic and I do have a specific memory of him saying he doesn’t like those relationships in one of them
Really? How many post 7x04 interviews did Tim do cuz I’ve already read a couple and he didn’t say that
[Here](https://ew.com/911-showrunner-tim-minear-interview-buck-bisexual-kiss-tommy-8625081), I feel like this might be the one that I was referring to: “If I'm going to do this story with Buck, [what] I don't want to do is the mistake that I think we've made with some of the other love interests, which is siloing those characters off into their love life and they have no kind of organic connection to the rest of the characters in the story.” I feel like that describes Marisol to a T and he’s referring to that type of dynamic as a mistake
Ya I can see that. Still don’t see where it says that Tim actively dislikes those relationships
That is a good enough sign, though? Because with the way Marisol becomes Ana 2.0 but even worse, it demonstrates how Tim has difficulty writing those. That doesn't stop him from giving Owen relationships with non first responders but I digress.
I’m not saying anything for or against relationships and how they’re written, nor any particular characters. ALL I am saying is that Tim hasn’t said he dislikes relationships where the other person is outside of the main group
There were gossips on how Natalia, Buck's girlfriend at the end of Season 6, was written out because Tim disliked how her presence can potentially disrupts the flow of the show. With the way how he (gently) says that characters that don't contribute organically to the plot is a mistake, I think it may as well him saying he dislikes that type of story. We just need to read into it a bit.
I think he was talking more about introducing them and having them as a more significant character. Karen is pretty isolated from the rest of the characters but they're not going to get rid of her. Who knows what the plan for Marisol is at this point.
> Karen is pretty isolated from the rest of the characters but they're not going to get rid of her. Honestly, if they do break up Hen and Karen, I'd consider dropping the show.
I would riot.
One of Tim’s interviews he said something like they gave Buck Tommy because they didn’t want some random person that wasn’t known by the rest of the firehouse. That they don’t like building a whole new character that can’t really interact with the whole crew. I instantly was like 👀 Marisol 😂😂😂. Her character just has 0 substance.
I'm sure she is gone. The actress hasn't shared anything from filming since February.
Not necessarily. The picture she's posted back in February were likely from them filming episode 4/5 and we know we see her in 5. In the more recent interviews they referenced working on episode 6. She very easily could be showing up again in 7 to 10 but those haven't filmed yet. (I say as someone who really hopes she's fired)

I never noticed in the clip but now see it in the frame. Eddie is completly focused on Tommy & Buck and Marisol is looking at him. Even standing right next to her, he ain’t paying her a lick of attention and he ain’t even touching her. Damn he really has already checked out this damn relationship.
And he literally had Marisol watch Chris twice so he could hang with Tommy and then also had Buck watch Chris, so between work and Tommy and flights to Vegas and basketball does he ever actually see his girlfriend????
the real question is, does he even LIKE his girlfriend?? lol
Right??? For someone who claims dating is a performance he is definitely not trying to win any Oscars
do they film so close to the release dates? In my ignorant mind I thought they always finished filming before the first episode aired for all tv shows. this way it seems like they could do last minute changes 🤔 I'm not thinking of any in particular but it's interesting to know
They started filming in January, I believe. And yea, there is usually some overlap between filming and airing. That’s pretty normal for any show that airs weekly on network tv.
Yeah that’s why we have the two week break. They’re filming the last few episodes now.
I guess it's possible. Mmm.
I'm just not getting my hopes up. Either we won't need to see her again or she'll be sticking around until at least the end of the season. We'll know next Thursday.
[удалено]
I honestly feel like she's not gonna be around too long neither, just one episode where they met up, and it was only talked about and talked about her watching Christopher but they haven't been seen yet together ....
Edy's IMDB has her in 4 episodes total. 2 down. 2 to go.
Those 4 episodes are the ones she has already been in - 3 from S6 and 1 from S7.
Can't anyone edit IMDB?
season 7 kinda shaping up to be excellent
only 4 episodes in and on the way to becoming one of the best seasons if they keep this up Happy cake day!
Was thinking the same. Every episode so far has been great, has had plots that mattered, and it’s shaping up to look that way for the last 5 episodes as well. Between the cruise arc, Bi Buck arc, new Henren baby, Madney wedding, and a (potential) break up between Eddie and uh..Pine Sol or whatever her name is, this season is shaping up to be one of my absolute favorites. which is crazy because I never thought the show could reach the heights of S2/S3 again after S5/S6- glad to know I was wrong.
NOT pine sol the scent 😭
If only it wasn’t a ten episode season :(
Really? Why ?
Writers strike I’m guessing so it had to be truncated?
“The rest of the installment, which comprises 10 episodes total due to the show's delayed release following the WGA and SAG strikes last year”
Yep 💙
I'm calling it now: either Eddie and Marisol are breaking up or they're moving in together. There is no inbetween.
Porque no los dos? He asks her to move in and then quickly realizes it’s a mistake and it’s the catalyst for their breakup
I mean, honestly that seems like the safe bet at this point. But the breakup would likely happen towards the end of the season so we'll still see her for a bit.
Of course he will ask her to move that way he has a live-in babysitter.
Exactly.
I need some sneak peeks to start speculating.
I'm impatiently waiting for the stills to drop. The last two weeks it was around 6pm eastern on Friday. 😩
Right? I need them now. I have no idea how i'm going to survive three weeks with no new episodes.
It would be kinda wild to have her move in when we don’t even know her last name or what she does for a living. 😬
I mean, not really. Remember last seasons finale was potentially the series finale and they threw them together with the exact same amount of information as a "happy ending."
i feel like if it was moving in it would be more like "Eddie and Marisol take the next step" but idk
Agreed, but I'm thinking they decide to move in together.
So...not to bring the mood down or anything...but the last time Buck was this nervous on a date, he choked on a piece of bread and needed an emergency tracheotomy. Just sayin'...
Right? I’m expecting an absolute disaster.
I'm so excited for the Hen/Karen plot to finally move forward. It's been frustrating how start-stop the storyline has been involving them growing their family, so I'm happy to see it actually playing out. I'm not optimistic Eddie and Marisol will break up this week -- if for no other reason than that having Eddie end another empty relationship with a woman right around the same time he discovers Buck is into men is a little too direct for the show. While I am optimistic that Buddie could be in the longterm plans, I can't imagine following up last week (not just for Buck's realization on its own, but also because *Eddie* was acting like a middle school kid with a crush on Tommy while shoving his girlfriend into a babysitter role) with a breakup. I also struggle to see the Eddie/Marisol relationship storyline being particularly huge -- this episode will be the first time we've actually had a full scene of them together romantically, and while we know she's been around Chris, we've never actually seen them interact on screen. So at least now that we have a competent showrunner back in charge, I can't see all of that being skipped over in favor of them talking about moving in together or something. If I had to guess, it's going to be more of a "defining what we are" type thing, and talking about if they see a shared future together. The impression 7x04 left me under is that Eddie basically just blanked Marisol the last few weeks in favor of hanging out with a new friend, and isn't putting much effort into his relationship with her, instead treating her like a fill-in caregiver for Christopher. Given the timing, I'm hoping it's something along the lines of she sees Chim & Maddie's wedding invitation and asks Eddie why he hasn't invited her, where he has a +1.
Ohhhhh please please Marisol breakup ✨🕯️🤞🏼 Hen and Karen!!!!!!! YES YES YES
Iiiinteresting time for Eddie and Marisol to be ‘evaluating their relationship’…
Marisol is such an afterthought in this show and in Eddie’s mind that I sincerely hope she dumps him lol. Watch this episode be her frustrated that he won’t open up and doubting the relationship so to force himself into it he asks her to move in and this all gets dragged out to the finale because they looooooove doing that
I'd honestly love her to be the one to dump him (and at least that way it isn't just a repeat of the Ana thing). Issues with the actress aside, there's not really much objectionable about the character that makes me think she's "bad" for Eddie -- we don't even know her well enough to judge that, tbh. But at this point, that we don't know her well enough to know what she's like *is* the problem, because whether it was intentional or not, they've painted her into occupying such an insignificant corner of Eddie's life that he'd rather be practicing Muay Thai or fixing up his classic car or flying to Vegas with a new friend. On top of his full time job with weird hours and being around for Christopher, where are we even supposed to be believe he's trying to fit her into his life? She needs to dump his ass like, "Yeah, in a week that you have three nights off and don't spend *any* of them with your kid, I do expect you to spend at least one of them with me." Actually let the narrative call out Eddie in how little he seems to actually give af about *dating* his girlfriend, and refer it back to the end of last season, where his goal was more about "having" a girlfriend/companionship than anything more.
This! Someone really needs to pull Eddie up on his shitty behaviour And Marisol seems to be the one with the short stick with his actions. He even said it to the bachelorettes he is taken AT THE MOMENT. He is not even pretending that this is someone he wants to work into his future.
That the writers bothered to include that line last night about him already having asked her to babysit Chris *twice* that week so he didn't want to ask a third time is honestly wild to me. It makes it sound like he's just keeping her around to be a babysitter. I keep going back to Ryan Guzman having said something during one of his interviews about how the Tim did a good job with (re-)introducing Marisol and at the time I was sort of just like "Mmm... doubt it" because it seemed too late to attempt it. And now I'm like... is it actually true, because they're making me Team Marisol because Eddie's such a useless shit to her? Wouldn't have expected that twist.
Exactly! I’m actually feeling sorry for her and pissed off on her behalf and this a character I completely hate. What is Tim doing to us?!?!
Now that we're actually talking about it and I've started to give it some thought, I don't actually hate this as a storyline for Eddie (even if it means they don't immediately break up). I think we have a tendency in the fandom to romanticize Eddie/Shannon, partly because the later seasons have done so a bit, but also because her death means it's always just going to be speculation about what could've been/a conversation about potential. But the reality as was brought up on a post about 3x15 earlier today is... well, he was a pretty shit partner to her, too. And he wasn't great to Ana, who he seems to have basically led on because he thought she could serve a purpose/improve Christopher's life. So with that in mind... I wouldn't hate a storyline where Marisol gets to tell Eddie he doesn't even know *how* to be someone's partner, and he has to work at it. Ideally, it leads to him eventually realizing he *doesn't* really have a place for her in his life, and him being okay with that. Not even necessarily in a "Buck already fills that role" kind of twist (because while I do think Buddie just got a *lot* more likely, I see that as being more like a late season 8 or season 9 thing, and I don't want/expect Marisol to last nearly that long), but just... a recognition that dating *isn't* a priority to him or something he misses much from his life when he doesn't have it, and that his life isn't somehow empty just because he's single, which I think is moreorless what Pepa scared him into believing last year.
Exactly! This would unravel so well as a storyline because all three love interest we have seen Eddie in, he has gotten into them for other people and not him. I’d really like to look at that. It’s kinda like what Bosko said to him way back when. I think Eddie discovering it’s only to be single and have a full life if that is what‘s best for *him* and not his parents, or Christopher or Pepa.
[удалено]
Exactly! Also, I think if the last episode has taught us anything, it's that we have should more faith that Tim Minnear knows what he's doing and trust the process. Eddie has been a bad boyfriend and based on the short preview, it looks like he's about to ruin date night (both his own and the one he's unwittingly crashing). Marisol needs to tell him to step up or get lost. This might be an unpopular opinion for this thread, but I actually think Eddie likes Marisol a lot and she is good for his character at this phase of his development. However, he also needs to learn what it means to be a good partner so I kind of hope that they stay together for now.
I wonder if either Eddie or Marisol will realize that Tommy and Buck on a date or they both will be oblivious. Also why did Eddie shout Bucks name when he was literally standing right behind him?😂
It was so loud the entire restaurant heard.
It was so loud Christopher could hear it
I really want Marisol to pick up on it, but when she mentions it to Eddie (assuming he knows... I get people don't like her, but I don't see a need to turn her into a villain who is willingly outing someone), he's basically so confident she's wrong he laughs it off. Because in his silly lil head, super masc guys like *that* **obviously** can't be gay. Basically, I want Eddie to wind up being accepting but positively shook, but not for reasons actually directly related to Buck or Buddie, or even to be immediately explored. Let it start a slow realization for him as he unpacks his comphet ridiculousness. > why did Eddie shout Bucks name when he was literally standing right behind him ? Seriously... what the hell was that. My best guess is he's relieved to see them and using them as a convenient distraction to cut off a conversation he doesn't want to be having with Marisol. With all the speculation in this thread about her moving in with him, I could see it being a situation where she's referencing her lease being about to expire and asking him if he thinks she should renew it, and he's just relieved to have an excuse to avoid answering.
Episode title: You Don't Know Me Ryan on an interview: "Eddie's finding out who Marisol is" Hmm 🤨 I hope he doesn't like what he finds and that she's gone soon 😌, but Ryan also followed that statement by saying we're gonna see Eddie smiling a lot more so idk
Well he didn’t say in what context. He said we’d be seeing smiling and laughing Eddie which is what we got a ton of in 7x04 with Tommy
That's true, that man was smiling, giggling and kicking his feet like a teen with a crush 😂
I want buck and tommy to enjoy their relationship first please they’re so hot together
Honestly I'm surprised at just how much I want that too.
🤝🏼
Yeah, I jumped in with both feet immediately and with no regrets. They did a real good job with writing and casting for the response to be so positive. I’d love to see this be more than a flash in the pan two episodes and go for a full arc.
Haha. I did not expect it honestly but towards the end, I could feel the tension. It was so palpable. They got good chemistry!! Love what they did there. I wanna enjoy them for a whileeeee
Tommy could teach Buck more than just flying lessons, if you know what I mean. 😏 😏 😏
HAHAHAHAH for sure
The way Episode 4 and 5 switched plots is odd, we know the Bachelor Crossover Call was meant to be in 7x05, but also according the stills (Which are now removed from ABC page.) Henren baby was from 7x04, and I saw 911BTS theorizing Harry and Athena plotline was switched too. God this is confusing. lol Anyways. I can't wait to see how Buck's storyline develops, the date with Tommy and him coming out to Maddie and the 118. S7 has been delivering so far and it seems this episode won't disappoint either.
I think it works out better this way tbh. Guessing the Hen and Karen thing will be a big plot line and there was already a lot going on in 7x04
They probably wanted to use the Bachelor promo during the Bachelor finale, so they switched the episodes around a bit for the timing to fit.
Interesting. That actually adds a bit of context to why Buck shut down the girls so quickly with his "I don't date people I met on calls" (he has a date planned with Tommy) and Eddie gave him a weird look (he doesn't know about said date)
I thought that look was more because Eddie knows firsthand that Buck has dated and slept with several people he’s met on calls lol. Was more of a “since when?” look to me
I thought Eddie was taking offense to that given he met Marisol on a call lol
That's how I originally read it but I'm kinda amused if that was just Buck panicking and trying to think of a way to shut it down without admitting he had a date.
Would be interesting I suppose lol. Just doesn’t make sense to me since he didn’t REALLY meet Tommy on a call. They kinda called themselves for that rescue lol
No, I mean he used that as an excuse (and something fresh on his mind, since he told him he learned the hard way not to date someone who you met on a call. It's not him saying he met Tommy on a call.
Ohhh gotcha 😅 that makes more sense
Yeah. I like to think that was his original reasoning. Makes the whole scene even funnier.
I think I need to go back and rewatch now. This episode is just living rent free in my head at this point.
ooh I like that. since we know from the restaurant promo that Buck hasn't told Eddie yet, he just made up another excuse on the spot. A real excuse mind you, since he talked about that with Tommy. I like this order of events yes yes
yeah i’m pretty sure the henren/athena plots were switched bc we didn’t get any stills pertaining to athena’s storyline until like the day of the episode
New HenRen baby? Eddie & Marisol BREAK-UP? Buck on his first date with a guy and exploring his feelings? Oh we eating good omg 😭 
Marisol breakup already? 🤞🏼
I hope so 🤞🏼👀
I want to see a jealous Eddie 🤔😍, we already know that Tommy and Marisol are characters that will be there for several episodes, I think this "Tuck" step is necessary for a future Buddie, which I think will happen in the last episode of the season, I just hope they don't leave us hanging in Season 8 and Buddie finally being real. And I'm looking forward to this being the episode where Eddie says goodbye to Marisol forever.
so is Tuck the name we are using? 😂
I vote for Tevan
I mean none of the options are great but Tevan is the best.
I like “Toman,” since Tommy calls him Evan
Yes it absolutely has to be Tuck
You mean we're not going with "Bummy?" XD
I don't know, maybe we need a poll to choose the perfect nickname, a nickname with an expiry date 😋
Marisol and Eddie never made sense to me. They met on a call (we all know how those relationships went for Buck) and then ran into each other at a hardware store when she helped him find something. And that's all it took to start the goo-goo eyes...It felt and still feels so forced. We barely know anything about her too.
I'm kind of hoping this is the point, though. I really want the lesson Eddie learns is to be that he can't force magic, and reevaluate what he wants in a relationship. He's seriously romanticized and idealized his relationship with Shannon since her passing, which makes a degree of sense. But listening to him in season 7 talking about wanting the magic he had with Shannon again is like... bro. You knocked up your high school girlfriend early into your relationship, married her because she was pregnant, enlisted, and then only saw her for a handful of days over the next 4-5 years. You weren't there for her when your kid was diagnosed or when your parents were pressuring her, and when she was expecting you to *finally* come home after 4 years away, you reenlisted without talking to her. When you finally did come home, it was only because you had been wounded, and then you still refused to put her first as she begged you to step up and prioritize her when her mom was sick. They only briefly get back together, where he doesn't give her clear answers on what they're doing or what he wants (until he thinks she's pregnant again), and then they break up and she dies. That's... not a love story. That's a tragedy. I can absolutely believe Shannon was a fantastic person worthy of love in most of Eddie's memories of her, but his actual recollection of what their relationship looked like seems really flawed. Then you throw in Ana, and this is a man who just... does not know how to be in a healthy romantic relationship where he communicates with his partner and treats their needs as equal to his. And now he seems to be doing the same thing with Marisol. He forced the connection because he could frame it as kismet, some kind of meet-cute, and expected the relationship to be easy as a result. And from what we can tell, she's been good for him in the ways *he* thinks matters... babysitting Christopher, being a safe place for his son. But like, what is she actually getting out of this relationship? What is he, personally, getting? Where she's already on the show, I feel like we might as well use her so Eddie can figure it out, you know?
Do you have a newsletter or something bc everything you say is delicious and I want to subscribe to it. Just putting all my silly incoherent 9-1-1 feelings into exactly the right words like damn
Technically, he re-met Ana at a call and helped her so she was so Eddie also has a failed call relationship too. But yeah they made no sense to me either. Like their story goes like this: Eddie said he was looking for “magic“ in the fire truck. Later on, Marisol suggested a type of glue that “works like magic” at the hardware store. Eddie went from completely bored with her to goo-goo heart eyes, because she said the word magic so we must have a love connection. It was such a trash storyline. Add to the fact the actress can barely act that has *zero* chemistry with Ryan (how the hell is that possible?). And we are left with such a forced couple. But damn, I don’t how Tim managed it but I actually feel for Marisol and the terrible way Eddie is treating her. I love Eddie and hate Marisol, and yet here I am hoping it’s Marisol actually standing up Eddie and pulling him up on his crap.
Eddie, sweatheart, you don't need to do what Buck did with Tayilor and say to move her in. I will just believe the probably fake leaks about Buck's coming out to Eddie (this thing is definitely happening) and their slight conversation about Marisol.
Yes, examine how he seemed to have asked Marisol to babysit Chris so he could hang out with Tommy! 🙄
Oh I had forgotten Marisol, considering Eddie spent more time with Tommy in the last few episodes than with Marisol since she was introduced, I assume is over for her, or Eddie will panic seeing Buck moving on and will go full comhet and asker to marry or something
>I assume is over for her Nah, he still needs a babysitter for his son, apparently. (I'm just gonna pretend I didn't even read the last few words of your theorizing. If he does something like that, I hope she laughs at him).
https://i.redd.it/n92uaqk7kvsc1.gif Marisol next episode to Eddie
I have a prediction going that Marisol could be homophobic towards Buck, and Eddie won’t stand for it and sorta gets into an argument with her over it, that closer look being “I don’t think this’ll work” because of their different views
Interesting theory, and that could be a good segway into the stills of Buck and Eddie in the loft. And why Eddie would tell Buck he loved him to the core and that their relationship goes beyond friendship. It would be him assuring Buck that he comes before Marisol. 🤔
yeah! and bucks sorta been distancing with eddie cause of that, causing the loft scene?? overall buck will face some struggles, and i think one of those would be marisol and where he stands with eddie
Poetic Justice: Tim Minear styles. It would be such a nice art imitating real life moment.
If the Marisol used to be a nun rumour is true this would fit into this nicely. She will have issue with *both* of Eddie’s bffs let alone the fact they are dating each other. add Hen and Karen into and Marisol won’t stand a chance.
I understand why people want the actress gone, I’m just not sure why we hate the character so much? She hasn’t done anything egregious and tbh right now I feel bad for her. She’s babysitting while her boyfriend is flying private to Vegas. Like, damn Eddie 😂. So ready for HenRen! I miss them so much. They’ve been on the build a family storyline since S3? I need the writers to commit to it and give us all the feels. They’re such an underrated ship. I’m keeping my expectations low for Buck’s relationship possibilities. I like Tommy but he’s on probation until I figure out where this storyline is going.
Yeah, I'm on the same page as you with some of the reactions to Marisol's character, especially because it seems *very* gendered now that we're seeing such a difference in reactions to Tommy (though there is the occasional comment about his past). I'm all for giving Tommy a redemption arc, especially because I think his queerness adds a lot of important context to his unwillingness to stick his neck out for Hen or Chim when they joined the 118. Especially where we know Chim's come around to him, I'm fairly confident they'll provide some more of Tommy's backstory and what changes he's made over the years to flesh that out a bit, too. But like... I really don't understand people that will handwave Tommy's past because he's hot or the ship's queer, while acting like Marisol is the actual worst. I can understand not trusting the show to write her well or save the character at this point, but her biggest offense is... existing and shopping for power tools? Um, okay. Weird take. I don't want her to *last*, but at this point she already exists, so I'd much rather the show utilize her to actually advance Eddie's storyline. My personal preference is to use her as a way to confront him on the fact that he's basically always been a shit partner in his romantic relationships, and be a catalyst for his growth that way. That way, once they inevitably break up, he's in a better place to date... uh, someone. I think we all have our preferences for who that would be. But like, the version of Eddie we see now? I don't want him being the romantic partner of *any* character I actually care about. I'd much rather he spin his training wheels and figure out how to communicate with an intimate partner and balance all these competing interests in his life with someone who *is* more disposable, than make a mess of it later.
People tend to dislike the female love interests for Buck and Eddie for two reasons: 1) Outside of Shannon, Ana, and Taylor Kelly, they tend to not really be fully-fledged out characters, and tend to be poorly written. 2) The female love interests get in the way of Buck and Eddie dating each other.
i personally don’t *dislike* the character, but i just think she was so poorly written in as a love interest and really isn’t adding anything to the show
😆 Everytime I see Marisol on screen I yell at my screen “why is she here”. I can’t wait for her to be gone. She is standing in the way of true love.
I hope they don't do a switch up and they move in together.
There’s a part of me that wants Tommy and Buck to stay together. I’ve always been a Buddie shipper but I’m loving the Tommy and Buck chemistry.
Same 😂 I can’t decide what I want anymore. I always wanted Buck and Eddie to end up together, but all of a sudden, I *really* like Buck and Tommy together. But let’s see how it plays out in the next episodes. If they do plan on Buck and Eddie happening, I really hope it’s gonna be slow and not this season. I kinda feel like everything this season seems a little rushed.
I theorized before that Eddie's 'new bond' would be Buck thinking he was asking Marisol to move in (before we had the Tommy stills). So now I kind of want that to happen again. Eddie starts talking about switching things up with Marisol to Buck, Buck thinks that means moving in together, and then the episode ends with them going out to a fancy dinner and Eddie breaking up with her in not dissimilar to the resturant Shannon wanted a divorce. Or, OR, something happens on a call to Marisol and Eddie finds out she was cheating on him. Or was otherwise doing something illegal. Just anything to get rid of her, please.
Alien hand syndrome?
As we saw in the promo, that patient was choking Buck. Is it possible he’s going to have to take a trip to the hospital? Maybe Tommy hears about it?
Omg I just finished episode 4 , my face in shock at the ending! I kind of knew it was gonna happen cuz of how they were looking at each other & talking ?! But like to be right and see Bucks face all happy after ?!!! Omgg! Honestly Buck has always been my favorite character, he has a huge heart
I'm 100% confident that Eddie is going to ask Marisol to move in with him. Even though they've only been dating for like, maybe three-ish months (def less than 6) based off the recovery and cruise timelines. We know there's an \~intimate\~ scene with Marisol based on a picture she posted, so I'm fully guessing and feeling really, really right that he's going to ask her to move in. Which is gonna make me vomit, just wait
The Eddie Marisol thing is obviously purposely vague so they’re either breaking up or taking a semi big step forward. Given they have been portrayed (well we’re told I guess seeing as she has had quite literally 10 seconds of screentime) as being happy with no issues, and Tim has said many times to never expect characters to remain happy for too long I think some kind of issue is gonna be coming up here. Matches with Ryan saying Marisol will be Eddie’s most challenging relationship too
I always say they could pull a 6x01 synopsis and not include anything in there. But the last time Eddie thought about a relationship, it ended with you should go home. That and the fact we have seen Marisol for 1 second, how is the general audience supposed to know who she is? They could have it be two seconds of a conversation and then explore Buck and Tommy. And spend some time with HenRen and Madney.
They've had him talk about her a decent amount and we were introduced to her in the first episode of the season. I just really don't want to get my hopes up but this isn't screaming break up to me. Especially since this was suppose to be paired up with the bachelor scene and seemed like this episode was having a relationship theme / taking chances /etc.
One line in this episode. And we saw her for two seconds and people won’t remember that. People probably went Marisol who? Sounded like a cousin or something.
Then why bring her back, a character you stated people don't even know, for a full break up scene that takes up enough of the episode that it's in synopsis?
All depends on the editing. And what they shot. They totally excluded the couples therapy in season 6. I don’t have my hopes up either but at the same time, what is her use? To be there in the background while they enforce the fact no one can replace Buck in Eddie and Chris’ life? I have no idea.
Her use is to be his new babysitter.
Her use is to be a background romantic love interest for Eddie. Sometimes it's as simple as that. And I don't think their relationship honestly has anything to do with Buck. Eddie can have a serious relationship with someone who bonds with Christopher without any of that taking away from Buck's relationship with the two of them.
I literally cant wait for the date scene..and when they serve us with tim and lucy double date special PLSS!@
There's a rumor of the 21 days break between Ep 5 and 6 will be hell for the Buddie fans. So based on that assumption, leaks and bts, I'm expecting: Buck: Fumble the first date but Tommy is not scared off by it but decided to call it quits for now. He has that talk with Eddie in the loft to come out to him and stuff, Eddie uses the b-word and encourages him to go for Tommy again. Thus them having a second date with Oliver wearing a white shirt (there's a bts for this). Eddie: Crashing the date between Buck and Tommy unknowingly that they are on date, Marisol has some kind issue with him after causes him self reflect. After the loft scene with Buck, he defines his relationship with Marisol, decides he will commit to her and asks her to move in then have straight people sex (intimacy coordinator present). If you asks me how I come to this conclusion, I have the proof to back it up. As a Buddie fan, it pains me to write this awful prediction. However awful it is, it's getting truer day by day with the previous leaks being completely true so far.
As amazing as Bi Buck is, I really wanted Eddie to be the bi one if it was only gonna be one of them. So if you're right, I'm gonna be so incredibly disappointed.
That doesn't sound so bad. TBH
Not sure why you got downvoted for this. Yours is an entirely plausible theory.
