@@janderson947 I don't think they are like brothers because I saw his relation completly diferent of the relashionship between Madey and Buck. I saw them more like a posible future romantic couple. But this is only my opinion. I respect yours.
I love that Buck is supportive of everyone in need and not just females. And I enjoy how they’ve allowed Buck and Eddie’s friendship to blossom through Buck being able to help Eddie out by being a great godfather to Christopher. It’s obvious that Eddie isn’t one to ask for the help he really needs and Buck seems to pick up the slack in areas that Eddie can’t handle in the last 2 seasons.
@@kimberlerush1603 I think that this is the first time Buck realize how but has been Eddie all this time. We can saw that when Buck admides he is so scared as Chris for see him like that. Eddie knows how to hide these things very well. Until this moment that has exploded. And I'm glad he finally figured it out because Eddie isn't someone who asks for help but someone who needs it.
I love that Chris's immediate response was to call Buck. I doubt they ever told him about the guardianship thing, but it's instictual. He knows that next to Dad, Buck is his person. Also, I get why people wanted a hug...but y'all. It just wasn't the time! In that moment, Eddie wasn't even there. He was miles away, reliving a horrible trauma that Buck wasn't a part of and couldn't fully understand. He needed space, time to come back to present reality. If Buck had hugged him then, it would have been like hugging a brick wall. He would hardly have been aware of it, and definitely in no position to reciprocate. Buck just being there and taking care of Chris, and allowing him to open up in his own time was exactly what he needed. And later, when Eddie is more himself, he'll be so grateful to Buck for being there for him at his worst, and that will be the perfect setup for the best emotional bro-hug anyone could want.
@@nguyenkhanhhailinh1721 queerbating basically, there's a huge Fandom who ships Eddie and Buck. So the writer's keep hinting some things but never actually do it.
Buck's totally panicked, devastated voice when he call's for Eddie for the 2nd time after breaking down the door at 0:51, is a terrifically perfect act of : when your mind and body go into a smhow frozen state of shock, because the terrible fear and anguish you feel for the one you love in that second.
@@wolfmama7879For Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Because it's not a disorder. It's a mental injury. Physically, he's fine, but mentally, it's like his brain is on fire. 😢😢😢
Im really feeling for Eddie this season. He’s always made keeping everything together look so easy. His breakdown in this episode spoke volumes about how you never really know what someone is going through. Im glad the show is writing about real life stressors like Eddie’s.
I’m sorry but this scene and Chris hearing him destroy his room was more emotional then all of last episode combined. The genuine fear on Eddie’s face. I love that 9-1-1 is dealing with what Veterans deal with after coming home from war, the PTSD, the survivors guilt, fear. It’s a hard thing to portray and their doing it justice, at least I hope they are, I never experienced it so I wouldn’t know for sure.
Love how he checks Chris out first to make sure he’s okay. Then goes to find to Eddie and listens to him. Then gets Christopher settled and returns to comfort Eddie. At first I thought he was calling Buck Dad but I realized he was still banging on the door and then he said Buck. Broke my heart.
I will forever be haunted by Eddies face at 1:17…the way he kept saying “They’re all dead,” it’s almost like he was dissociating and Buck could have been anybody he was talking to
This scene wrecked me. Imagine getting a silver star for saving a convoy, only to find out years later that everyone you saved died anyway. That is life ruining.
I didn’t do anything special when I served in Iraq. Other than get my head messed up by an IED, and see a couple of guys not make it home- but God, it doesn’t end. It never ends. I’ve lost more brothers to suicide then I ever have to combat. It feels like, one by one, the only people who understood what happened to you over there threw in the towel. That kind of loneliness feels like a hole in your chest. Irreparable. You didn’t just lose friends and brothers, you lost another one of a very small amount of people who saw with their eyes what you saw with yours. The terror and hatred-all of it. I ain’t no silver star recipient, but god it was hard to watch this string of episodes, because it’s exactly how I felt when I heard a good friend of mine who I served with in Iraq decided to walk away from his wife and kids and never come back. If you make it back just to watch all the people you love leave, what’s the point? I came back to these episodes recently because I’ve been in a better place, and it’s interesting to see a portrayal of combat related PTSD since I haven’t been much of a fan of the movies that feature such storylines for obvious reasons.
@@JedRayner Thank you for this comment! And although I’m sure this sounds pretty hollow to you, truly thank you for your service. Silver Star or not you’re still a hero. I wish you didn’t have to go through what you went through, that war never happened and soldiers never had to lose their lives in battle or come home so changed that they lost the life they had before anyway. I’m so glad to hear that you are in a better place, and I pray that the Lord continues to strengthen you and all of the soldiers who came home, and that the gates of heaven open up to receive that ones who do not. God bless you. You will be in my prayers.
@@kpaxian6044 unfortunately I’m long past that point, I’m afraid. I don’t think I’ll ever be much of a whole person again. I’d feel guilty if I was. I’m lucky enough to have love and happiness in my life. My wife is my partner and my rock, and Lord knows I owe her millions for putting up with all my shit. I owe her as much to keep myself alive. There’s not a day I don’t think about it though. That place and the people I served with and fought with will forever be a part of me. When they die, I die. I’m not a religious man, but I do hope I see them again-even if we’re just dust in the wind.
Me too. I hope they don’t ruin this friendship by making them lovers. Some relationships are too Valuable to complicate with the other part. Hope they individually find good partners though.
This relationship dynamic thay have is so so important to see. See Eddie finally dealing with all the trauma he has experienced this last few years, When Hen was narrating the "fear of being afraid" I really feel like this was Eddie, he's so afraid of feeling fear that he wired himself to not feel it, but for a while he just didn't felt anything, and now it finally blew up. Now he can get the help he needs, because he now can see how bad things got for him, and this kind of storyline is very important. Having Buck there was also a phenomenal writing choice, because even if (and it probably wont) this never goes beyond the limits of friendship, this kind of partnership between two man its still very significant to show on TV
@@M24071 there is nothing wrong with two friends hugging to try and help or calm them. Doesn't mean romance at all. You are so right. And there's nothing wrong with a man crying, I believe he is More of a man.
I am not sure if i was the only one who noticed this but at 1:49-1:52when eddie says he kind of lost it, it just reminded me and hit me that buck said the exact same thing when he said that to eddie at the hospital scene in 4x14 when buck told chris that eddie got shot
You guys that said"hug eddie" Buck can't because when u have PTSD the first rule of it is to not touch that person or it will set then off so if Buck hugged Eddie while he was having ptsd it would have made him worse
This scene proves again that Buck has Eddie's back any day & by extension also Chris, coz when he was needed he didn't hesitate to go immediately to them. It also shows the trust between the three of them, Chris could have called anybody else like Abuela, Pepa, Carla ot even Bobby but instead he called Buck. And Eddie showed his most vulnerable side of him to Buck when in truth he doesn't want anybody to see him break down or even panic, case in point the panic attack with Ana but with Buck he lets himself be vulnerable & even admitted some things that he kinda finds hard to admit to his therapist. This scene just showed us that we all have our breaking points but it's nice to know that there would be someone who would be there for you, care for you, understand you & support you , instead of pushing you.. Ryan & Oliver did an amazing job here. Congratulations on a job well done👏👏
Ryan did amazing in this scene! 👏 It is heartwrenching to watch but it's so needed for Eddie to start to finally heal from all his traumas. I can't wait to see where Eddie's storyline goes. Bravo Ryan.
How painfull it is for Eddie to make this introspection cause he's discovering how alone he is in the crowd and it's the worst pain you have to live in your life when it happens to you! He was never happy even when he was married. And whatever the job you have and you like, can replace the love of someone. That's the fight Eddie is living right now and he has to find and he will find himseft at the end of it. It will be very interesting to see how he's going to go through it.
The only times he truly smile and seems happy was in situations with Buck and Chris. Like the time they played together viddogames. Or the moment they make a adaptet skate to Chris. Buck is the best company for Eddie right now. I love that he is not alone.
Tears were shed....by me. Love can be physical, but it doesn't have to be. This is pure love, however it expresses itself, physical or otherwise. What can be better or stronger, whichever way it is.... or becomes. Revealing one's soul to another is hard...but says everything about the intense bond the two have and exactly how they feel about each other. No love can be better or stronger. Having said that, this one needs to be physical....it just does. This scene begged for it. Even the characters knew that. Buck should have embraced Eddie.
I understand why people wanted a hug, but the reason it didn't happen is no reflection on the characters' bond. It simply wasn't the right time. Think about it. Chris, the person Eddie loves most in the world was banging on the door screaming for him, but he was so far removed that he couldn't answer. It was like he was trapped alone in a nightmare, fighting for his life, surrounded by monsters and he couldn't wake up. His trauma had become his reality to the point where even his child's screams couldn't reach him, so Buck's touch would have been meaningless in that moment. Useless for him, and completely unsatisfying for us. He wouldn't have been able to register, appreciate, or reciprocate it. I think Buck approached the situation in the best way possible - cautious and sensative, recognizing that Eddie was going through something he couldn't fully understand, offering his presence and support while allowing Eddie the space and time he needed to come back to himself. Later on when he's had time to process and heal, he will be able to fully appreciate Buck being there for him in his darkest moments, and that will be a perfect setup for the emotional, aware, and satisfying embrace we're all waiting for.
Remember: this is the character introduced as “he likes to be called Eight-Pack!” Eddie is the tough guy! The muscle! The handsome charmer! And this show says “that doesn’t matter. ANYONE can have moments when it all just piles up too much, when it all falls apart. It doesn’t matter how handsome, how tough, how muscly you are. Mental health matters across the board.” And I LIVE FOR THAT!!
The hitch in Buck's voice could have come from the thought that upon finding the room that broken that maybe he might possibly find Eddie dead or something
Man seeing Eddie like this really is sad. PTSD is never a good thing. Something must have trigger him to have those traumatic flashbacks. He's usually so poised.
the trigger was being asked to reach out to past friends/veterans and the nail in the coffin was the news of a veterans death the moment he actually tried to reach out
Amazing scene, I knew it was going to be hard to watch. Great acting. Eddie has a long way to go, but he will get there. I read a lot about people wanting a hug, and as much as I would want to see one. It wasn't the time, as someone who is going through trauma myself and being in therapy, this moment of breakdown that I have had, I did not want to be touched. Due to physical pain also, everyting needed to be released. Holding me would have done more harm. Even now months later, I still don't like hugging. I rather talk to people and laugh with them. The hugging will hopefully come back as I used to want to hug people, but for now it is ok.
It hurts me so much seeing Eddie like this. I feel his pain and can't get over the thought that in my life there is no such person as Buck is in Eddie's life. But I want to say to other people who feel alone... You are not alone. I hug you all
this hits so hard to home for me.. my dad is still serving in the military, thankfully he wasn’t in infantry but some of his best friends were and some didn’t make it out.
My grandpa served in Vietnam, and he was one of two people in his platoon to make it out alive. I've never seen him with true PTSD, but he normally isn't very talkative, so I wouldn't hear about it anyway, but I had to hear about the platoon thing from my mom.
I really love that when something happens Chris calls Buck first . Eddie does the same he would call Nick and they both rust Buck when it comes to each other they know he will always be there for them Getting to see Buck just be there for Eddie in his time of need and put his own problems aside to be there for Chris and Eddie because they need it is always super touching He is good as a next person to take care of Christopher, we all know he's capable of loving that kid. Being there for the two of them is instinctual they are his family
Buck's voice cracking at the second time he said "Eddie" that really messed me up. Oliver is such a great actor, I seriously thought something really bad happened to Eddie (I'm not saying PTSD is not bad but I thought something fatal that he'd 'wake-up-in-the-hospital' bad).
Wow. This scene was so heartbreaking. Poor Eddie!!! He has been carrying so much. I think from him losing the people he saved that he served with, watching his wife who he loved dearly take her last breath and not being able to save her that really traumatized him and I truly believe he blames himself for that especially because he is a firefighter although it’s not his fault, him getting shot, dealing with the panic attacks, being kidnapped, worrying about Christopher and not being a firefighter has finally taken a toll and pushed him to his breaking point!! I feel so bad for him. Poor Christopher. So sad this sweet boy had to hear his father like this. I know it was scary. Buck is such a good friend/brother to Eddie. He is always there for him. Especially since they both dealt with different forms of traumas.
To be fair, Buck has always been the one he's opened up to, he would always choose talking to buck over a therapist who he pays to listen and help him. It's a different feeling when it's your best friend coming to your aid and wanting to help you and to listen
@@ellieparker1797 yes and that's what makes it so special. Buck seems to be the only one that's ever able to get through to him, for him to be honest with 🥺 (and eddie seems to be the only one that really understands buck as well)
Imagine if Bobby let him come back or gave the recommendation. Bobby knew Eddie still wasn’t okay, this is proof that there’s something deeper is wrong with Eddie. I hope he gets well
To have a best friend the way Buck and Eddie are best friends is the greatest gift in the world. One can have a friend and it doesn’t mean it’s anything more than a friendship. It’s still a blessing.
I'm convinced that it's not so much the words as it is the amazing acting that keeps this show going. These two men right here never fail to act their asses off now matter what the scene is. not that this scene wasn't heart-breaking, cause it was; Ryan just caught me off guard this episode... dude used to be a freaking MMA fighter like what?
It was such a hard scene to watch. The acting was top notch. The writers should have had them embrace, yes because the scene required it, but because their fans want it so much.
Christopher’s acted ddi awesome in this show he’s honestly one of my favourites he’s not only Eddie and bucks son but a whole fandoms sim. If anything was ever to happen to him I’d be so sad
When I saw the scene in moonvasion, the season 2 finale, this theory came to my mind. If Louie was the only child, he'd be a happy young duck until he's constantly sensing Della and hears her moon lullaby that she wrote that he also remembers when he's terrified until in the finale of season 1 him sensing Della is so strong that he sees pictures with Della and locks himself in his room and has a breakdown. A few moments later, Scrooge and Donald hear him and rush to his room, and then Scrooge and Donald go into his room and see it destroyed and then see Louie sitting on the floor crying. Later, Louie stopped crying and explained that he was sensing Della and that she's on the moon. Here's what the script would look like: Scrooge: Donald, do you hear that? Donald: Yes, I do, it's Louie. Oh no, It's Louie. I think something's wrong with him. Scrooge: Louie, are you okay? Donald: Louie, is everything okay? We heard you in the room. Louie: (Sitting next to his bed crying) I want my mom to come home to me. I miss her. Scrooge: You feel better? Louie: Yes, I'm feeling a little better. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just kinda lost it. Donald: I know you miss your mom. Me and your uncle Scrooge miss him too. Louie: I was sensing her, I saw her on the moon, and I heard the song she wrote for me that I remember when I'm terrified. Scrooge: How long have you been sensing her for? Louie: 5 years. Donald: Oh Louie, why didn't you say something? Louie: Because I thought you wouldn't believe me. Note: I'm talking about Louie from DuckTales, but he would have the same breakdown as Eddie.
I love Buck and Eddie’s relationship more than anything they are best friends as well as brothers! I also love that Buck loves Christopher more than anything as well it’s my favourite part 😭🥰🥰🥰
