Buck & Eddie: 2023 - 2024 Rereleased and Unreleased Photos
A timeline of the photos that were released by JS, JCC & TM since 6B.
Tumblr media
After TM (9-1-1 showrunner) recently released two "never before seen pictures" of Buck and Eddie, one as recent as last night, I started thinking about all the photos and videos that have been released of them since the start of 6B and it was quite interesting to see it all once I put them together.
Reminder, Buck and Eddie were barely shown to be work partners let alone friends for 98% of 6A and after 6x13 aired, they were shown to be living separate lives again for the remainder of 6B after Eddie was forced into dating again even though he said he wasn't ready. Aside from the Buckley-Diaz Family scene in 6x1 and the small amount of time they shared at the end of 6x7 and the time they were partnered in 6x13 (my favorite episode which was the finale for me since the last 5 episodes could have been yeeted to the sun); they didn't work side-by-side like they did before Eddie quit the 118 in 5x10. That's why the timing of the rereleased and unreleased photos and video is so jarring.
First, in April 2023, JS released the picture below of Buck and Eddie at the poker game before 6x13 aired and he spent most of that three-week mini hiatus counting down to the day when he was going to reveal it on Twitter or X or whatever it's called this week.
Tumblr media
Second, in April 2023, a photo of the clapperboard was released weeks in advance for 6x17 which was an episode JCC directed. It includes a picture of Buck and Eddie at the bottom of it.
Tumblr media
Third, also in April 2023, after 6x15 aired, several posts alluded to Twitter users being in an uproar about the introduction of ND and how Buck hurt Eddie’s feelings with that BS line about her seeing him (which everyone but Buck knows was a bunch of BS).
Don't try to debate me on this because Buck’s words hurt Eddie and it doesn't matter if they were intentional or not. He broke Eddie’s heart with that $hit so... I digress because thinking about it still pisses me off (it's been months but I'm still not over the way S6 ended).
Anyway, it was posted on Reddit (linked here) that JCC posted the photo from season 3 below on 9-1-1's TikTok account but the question is why would he release it since he didn't direct 6x15? The OP of the thread explained how he never posts things about episodes he didn't direct so it was interesting to read this information but since I only saw it on Reddit and nowhere else, it's unclear if there was a motive behind it.
Full disclosure: I don't have a Reddit or TikTok account, so I don't know if this post was legit but the date on it is April 25, 2023.
Tumblr media
Fourth, in May 2023, right before 6x18 aired, TM decided to release a video of Buck and Eddie from season 2 but why did he do that? Especially right before that BS episode that had Eddie acting like he was in high school again and giggling over some chick he witnessed almost kiss her brother in the mouth in 6x5 and Buck settling once again for a woman who only wanted to use him for his "Firehose" and nothing else like AC, AM and TK did?
What exactly was the point? Was he trying to tell viewers something or was he just piddling around on FB like he did last year when he responded to a viewer with a long post about the storytelling decisions he greenlit for LS?
Reminder, TM was working on LS for the past two seasons while he left OG in the hands of KR who literally destroyed all of Buck’s character development and growth by regressing him with TK, LD and now ND. Seasons 5 and 6 went into a tailspin of Buck not growing or learning from his mistakes and the responsibility for that lies solely at the showrunner's feet and who was in charge? It was KR.
The way Buck's gazillion storylines ended was not long form storytelling especially since he was constantly being regressed. He said he didn't want to make the same mistakes but he kept making them and instead of letting him go back to therapy (which he clearly needs) she let him flounder and read self-help books and donate his sperm to that loser Connor (reminder Connor wanted to run out on his pregnant wife because the baby wasn't biologically his but I still believe the baby is his and not Buck's). She wouldn't let him talk to the team like he used to do so they could offer him some good advice about the important life decisions he was trying to make but in Season 5 she had no problem letting Buck tell the 118 about his dumpster fire of a relationship with TK.
Fifth, in January 2024, TM was at it again with posts on Facebook (I don't use FB) but this time he posted two unreleased photos of Buck and Eddie. Apparently, he released the one below a few days ago but it was discovered by a blogger who posted it on 911blr. Based on Eddie's appearance, it looks like it may have been from season 5, possibly sometime around 5x16 "May Day" but who knows.
Tumblr media
Sixth, last night, the photo below was released by TM and it's never been seen before either. Based on Eddie’s appearance, this picture looks NEW like it might be from Season 7 but who knows with all the unreleased promos and pics from previous seasons that started circulating in S6.
Tumblr media
In the photos above, Buck and Eddie are shown in every season except for the most important one... Season 4. The shooting is missing and so is the will reveal. (I don't count the picture on the clapperboard because it appears to be one JCC added to it for whatever reason and it wasn't an official photo or video like the others.)
So, are they still using the shooting and the will as the catalyst for them becoming a CANON couple? Only they know what they're doing but whatever it is the question has become why are they doing all these cryptic Buck and Eddie posts and releasing photos of just the two of them? What are they trying to say, if anything?
Hopefully it's not so they can do a repeat of the things they did at the end of seasons 4 and 6 and delay them getting together yet again.
If they're going to finally let them be together then it's time to stop with the delay tactics and get rid of all those one-dimensional LIs. Leave N and M in season 6 where they first appeared and should have remained.
If they aren't planning to make Buck and Eddie CANON then they should let them stay single. It's been 6 years; how long do they realistically believe viewers who actually care about them as characters are going to keep waiting? In the past, actors and actresses have left shows around the fifth, sixth and seventh seasons so hopefully that won't happen on 9-1-1 but nobody has time to wait around for 15 seasons for Buck and Eddie to get together.

Taylor Kelly sees the entirety of that Buckley-Diaz dinner scene, but that little thing with Lucy is what scares her?? Girl, your boyfriend is raising a child with another man? Lucy is not the threat here.

I know the narrative purpose it serves and all that but it's so fucking funny to me that Buck's response to Taylor leaving for good is to sigh happily like every good thing in the world has been poured back into him...like imagine dating a guy for a year and moving in with him and trying to make it work and clinging hard and once you break up and leave his literal reaction is "0/10 worst experience of my fucking life thank god it's over!!!!!"

No but like free buck from this dead relationship
One thing I really enjoy about the depiction of Buck and Taylor's relationship is that we can chart the slow destruction of Buck's spirit within it. I mean, Season 4, things between him and Taylor are sweet and fun and good. Beginning of Season 5, he ends the blackout shift from hell and comes home to an empty apartment and his girlfriend on TV, and it all just goes downhill from there. Buck just withers away more and more the longer he is trapped inside this relationship, and as a viewer and enjoyer of the show, I am FASCINATED by this. But as someone who loves Buck with my whole heart, I am in severe pain.

Buck & Eddie: “That’s Love!”
Tumblr media
This post includes a detailed character study on Buck to illustrate the journey he took to define what love means to him and what he needs in a partner.
Tumblr media
Buck said, “That’s love!” in season 2 as he remembered the things a victim’s spouse said to him while they were on a call.  He asked Maddie “Is that really love?” in season 5 during their conversation about a movie that was supposed to be a romantic comedy which included a man trying to make a woman fall in love with him over and over again every day.  It took several years for Buck to finally define what love had to mean for him after he had spent those same years trying to find love even though his assignment was to “make it” (read blog post: “Buck & Eddie: Buck Misunderstood the Assignment” for more information on Buck misunderstanding the assignment about making it).
“Is that really love?”
Tumblr media
Evan didn’t know how to define love because he never witnessed it being exhibited between his parents while he was growing up.  All he saw was their grief and most of it had been directed towards him because he was born to save his brother Daniel but he was unable to do it.  No one told him why his parents treated him the way they did and that’s why he confused being reckless with love because those were the only times they paid attention to him and to avoid dealing with their grief, they rewarded him whenever he got hurt.  Evan started equating love with the things he saw his parents do.  When he heard them arguing and saying things like, “We live with a reminder every day”, he wasn’t sure what they meant by that but he did understand that he would be rewarded if he was reckless and got hurt in the process. His mother bringing him food or his father buying him a new bike or ice cream was the way he started to interpret love.
Tumblr media
Since Evan hadn’t seen any real examples of true love, he still didn’t know how to define love in 2004 when Maddie told him she was moving to Boston to be with Doug.  He knew that he didn’t like how Doug treated her so he asked, “Why does he always gotta know where you are and what you’re doing?”  Maddie replied, “It’s sweet. He cares about me” but Buck said, “I don’t like him”.  He didn’t like Doug and he knew that Doug’s possessiveness towards Maddie wasn’t what love was supposed to be but she told him Doug cared about her. He asked her if she was leaving him and she told him Boston wasn’t that far away which caused Evan to think that people who leave him would still love him and one day return.  Evan’s flawed definition of love included him being reckless and him being abandoned.
Tumblr media
Maddie didn’t know what love was either because she grew up in the same house as Evan; therefore she thought leaving would fix everything for him even though it didn’t fix things for her.  In 2012, after he crashed his motorcycle, he visited Maddie at work and asked her if he could live with her and Doug but she told him “It’s complicated” when he told her that he believed Doug hated him. Instead of telling him what was going on Maddie gave him her jeep and told Evan to “Go and Be Happy” so that he wouldn’t have to live with his parents anymore.  The examples of love Buck witnessed while he was growing up confused him and he didn’t know that love wasn’t supposed to be hard or difficult and he also didn’t know that he didn’t have to be reckless to receive it.  He would learn later that he is supposed to “make it” instead of “find it”.
Tumblr media
Bobby told Buck that he needed to step in and be present with his girlfriend but since she wasn’t all in with him, he was confused again and equated love with abandonment.  After she abandoned him in 1x10 “A Whole New You”, he believed if he continued to love her then she would eventually come back to him but she didn’t.  He felt like he hadn’t been enough for her which caused him to think love had to be hard instead of it being unconditional and easily reciprocated between two people.
Tumblr media
Thomas explained the definition of love to Buck in 2x8 “Bucktually” and it seemed like he understood after he saw that Thomas had died not long after Mitchell did because they couldn’t live without each other.  When Buck saw Thomas had died while holding Mitchell’s hand, he told Eddie and Bobby, “That’s love”. But when he received a call from a woman he saved during the earthquake, he tried to find love again instead of recoginizing he was already making it.
Tumblr media
After his conversation with Thomas, Buck agreed to meet the woman he met during the earthquake and she became girlfriend #2.  He took things slowly with her but after his leg got crushed by the ladder truck in 2x18 “This Life We Choose”, she abandoned him just like girlfriend #1 had done. He still felt like he wasn’t enough and he continued to define himself via his job title as a firefighter because he thought that was all he had to offer anyone and it was the only thing that made him feel like he mattered.
Tumblr media
After Buck learned his family’s secret that consisted of him being conceived to save his brother from dying of leukemia, he questioned his self-worth and his purpose.  His parents still didn’t know how to love him unconditionally and he told them in 4x4 “9-1-1 “What’s Your Grievance” to “Love me anyway” after they told him and Maddie that neither of them made it easy for them while they were growing up even though they were children.  Buck forgave them after his father told him it wasn’t his fault and that they never blamed him; however he still didn’t know how to define the type of love he needed for himself.  He started trying to find it again with a woman he hooked up with two years prior.
Tumblr media
Buck’s relationship with girlfriend #3 was something but it wasn’t love.  When she told Buck, “I kind of love you for it” and “I love you” in 5x9 “Past is Prologue”, it illustrated how neither of them were ready to say it to each other because they didn’t know each other.  They couldn’t trust each other and both of their definitions of love were skewed due to their traumatic childhoods.  Love is unconditional, it includes patience and kindness but the only reason she told him she loved him was because he finally met her condition which was for him to chase her.  She had been trying to get him to do it for months (since 4x14 “Survivors” after The Shooting) and he finally did it, so she told him she loved him (read blog post: “Buck & Eddie: Buck has always been in LOVE with Eddie; Taylor never had a chance” for more information on the person who tried to come between Buck and Eddie).  They both clung to each other because they felt like it was their last chance for romance, hence the song that was playing during their “I love you” scene titled “Last Dance” by Donna Summer. When Buck said, “Good love you too”, his facial expression showed that he knew what he felt for her would never compare to the feelings he had for Eddie. He told Maddie in 5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia”, “I do love her” but he couldn’t have meant he was in love with her because at the time he still thought love had to be hard and that if the person stayed and didn’t abandon him then they would love him.  But it didn’t work because he was still trying to find it.  True love for him was seeing someone at their worst but still wanting to try again and he didn’t realize he already made it with Eddie until he saw Eddie after his breakdown. Buck knows what love is supposed to feel like and he knew it wasn’t whatever he had with her but the issue was he and Eddie emotionally separated themselves from each other after The Shooting.
“That’s love!”
Tumblr media
The love Buck and Eddie have for each other is so big that it scares them. Neither of them have ever been in love with someone and since they’ve spent the last four years building a family and being exactly what the other one needed, the thought of losing each other is too much for them to handle (read blog post: “Buck & Eddie: "Their First Time Being in Love" for more information on their first time being in love).  Every time Buck has been faced with losing Eddie, he panicked because he can’t imagine living his life without him.
Tumblr media
When Eddie was trapped in The Well, Buck couldn’t see him while he was underneath 50-feet of wet earth but he knew Eddie was down there and that’s why he tried to dig Eddie up with his bare hands.  He believed everyone else thought Eddie was dead and he started to mentally prepare himself for that just in case Eddie didn’t make it out.  Buck was relieved when Eddie walked up after he swam through the tunnels to make it back home to his family.
Tumblr media
It was different for Buck when Eddie got shot since it happened right in front of him and it wasn’t anything like what happened at The Well.  After The Shooting, they became emotionally distant because it hurts them too much to think about what could have happened if Eddie had died. Eddie told May in 5x15 “FOMO”, “Trauma often causes us to turn inward” and the trauma Buck and Eddie experienced from The Shooting caused them to do just that, “turn inward”.  Instead of turning to each other, discussing it and identifying how much they mean to each other, Buck and Eddie compartmentalized all their feelings and became numb so that they wouldn’t have to deal with their feelings for each other.   Buck has tried to talk to Eddie about The Shooting twice but Eddie’s still not ready.
Tumblr media
Buck still had to face the possibility of losing Eddie during The Hostage Situation in 5x6 “Brawl in Cell Block 9-1-1”.  He wasn’t in the ambulance or outside of the hospital when he heard the gunshot but he panicked when he thought Eddie had been shot again.  While everyone else ran away from the gunfire, Buck ran towards it calling Eddie’s name (read blog post: “Buck & Eddie: 4 times Buck thought the lost Eddie” for more information on Buck’s reactions to almost losing Eddie).
Tumblr media
After Eddie left the 118 in 5x10 “Wrapped in Red”, Buck thought he would no longer have to worry about losing Eddie or him dying again until 5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia” when Christopher called him in a panic about Eddie.  When Buck broke down Eddie’s bedroom door, he didn’t know what he was going to see but as he looked around the room, he tried to mentally prepare himself to see Eddie’s lifeless body.  The way he called Eddie’s name was filled with a quiet panic that was very different from the way he called Eddie’s name at The Well, after The Shooting and after The Hostage Situation.  He looked like he could barely breathe until he heard Eddie crying and rushed over to be next to him.  Eddie was scared too because he didn’t want Christopher to hear him so he held back the sounds associated with his crying until he heard Buck calling for him.  Those few moments of panic helped Buck to realize that he wouldn’t be able to go on if Eddie had done something to hurt himself.
Tumblr media
When Eddie asked him, “Is he ok?” and Buck replied, “I mean he’s still scared out of his mind. He’s not the only one”, it illustrated how both Buck and Christopher were scared of losing Eddie.  Eddie’s will set things up so that Buck and Christopher will have each other if Eddie dies but that’s not what either of them want because they want all three of them to be a family together.  Buck breaking down Eddie’s bedroom door and finding Eddie at his worst helped him to realize what love meant for him and it wasn’t what he thought he felt for any of his ex-girlfriends.
Tumblr media
Buck defined what love means to him in 5x18 “Starting Over” and his definition described him and Eddie’s relationship perfectly.  He said, “Is that really love? Right, shouldn’t it be, when you’re at your worst, they’re at their worst, you have every reason to give up and you still decide you want to try again?” Buck and Eddie have been there for each other every time they’ve been at their worst over the past four years and they keep deciding to try again.  It took Buck several years to figure out what love meant to him especially after his traumatic childhood.  Also Buck’s ex-girlfriends either abandoned him or he couldn’t trust them so they never decided to try again with him but he’s tried again with Eddie many times over.  Buck and Eddie established the foundation of their relationship and it was built on trust first.  Then Buck stepped in with Eddie after they had only known each other for a few weeks and stepping in with him wasn’t hard or difficult.  They built The Buckley-Diaz Family together and Eddie named Buck’s to be Christopher’s legal guardian in his will (read blog post: “Buck & Eddie: The Will & Legal Guardianship” for more information on Eddie’s will).  He has a family now even though he probably hasn’t realized it yet but he has a family to go home to so it’s just a matter of time before Buck and Eddie acknowledge the family they’ve built and start living their lives for themselves instead of for everyone else.
Now that Buck knows the type of love he needs, will he continue making it with Eddie or will he keep trying to find it?  Will Buck and Eddie finally talk about The Shooting and what it means to them during season 6?  Will they talk about The Will?  Only the showrunners, writers and producers know the answers to those questions.

When Buck is staying over at Eddie's and taking care of Christopher and just having a good time, I think it would be hilarious if we see shots of Taylor coming to Eddie's house to tell Buck things about whatever she's working on or something because Buck just doesn't come to the apartment they both live in at all lol. Even better if every time she gets there Buck is just cooking for Christopher or talking to Eddie on the phone or just helping Christopher with homework. Taylor goes, "So can you do that for me?" once and Buck looks up and goes "Oh sorry, I was calculating the surface area of a heart for Christopher's math class, can you repeat that?"

It’s about the way with that one line Buck is basically admitting that he never loved her, that if he loved anything it was the imaginary person he wanted her to be in his head/hoped that she might turn into, because the person she actually is and always has been is someone he knows is fundamentally in direct conflict with his own strong sense of ethics and moral code and deep down he knew that he couldn’t actually just “learn to live with it”…this is so delicious I want the rest of this scene immediately
