Ok so, the new episode has evoked multiple trains of thought in my head and although they all are related to the buck/tommy/eddie situation, i think it makes sense to put them down in several categories here:

Overall feel of the show at abc: i'm gonna say that the show definitely feels a bit unsettled after the network change, they seem to have a hard time balancing personal relationship plots and actual firefighter stuff. I know a lot of the cases in previous seasons were silly but they were still believable. The whole cruise disaster thing was just so over the top and now in the last 2 episodes there has been next to no action. The promo for next week's episode looks kinda like absolute mayhem. I do believe the abc team will figure this out and that they just need a little time to get comfortable but it's defo noticeable.

Buck's character: completely removed from his new romantic relationship, i am soooo loving his coming out arc. They've shown 2 amazing coming out scenes and one (and a half) dates and yet the word bisexual didn't even need to be said!!! It just makes sense as a story on its own!! It feels so natural and buck seems so so happy and in love and settled and has gobsmacking chemistry with tommy. I love that we get to watch him make mistakes and get things right while figuring himself out, it just feels so close to real life and i think the writers (and actors) are doing a fantastic job here.

Tommy's character: OBSESSED WITH HIM. HE'S SO FUNNY. And i think he's an excellent first male love interest for buck because he doesn't beat around the bush. He's comfortable in his own skin and is very aware that he doesn't have to give that up for buck despite crushing on him hardcore. I love that he gives buck the space to make mistakes and come to terms with his bi-ness, but not at the expense of himself. He is a great mature influence on buck and i think will eventually help him to become confident in his sexuality in a way buck may have taken way longer to do on his own. Which leads me to ...

The buck/tommy relationship: this is where things start to get complicated. My head says "let's microanalyse every scene in regards to buddie" but my heart says "enjoy how fucking cute buck and tommy are being on screen right now". I DON'T WANT THEM TO BREAK UP. AT ALL. THEY ARE CRAZY ABOUT EACH OTHER. WHIPPED, IN FACT!!! I do think buck/tommy isn't "endgame" per se but i do think they fit so well together, they should be given the opportunity to last a little while at least. Buck needs someone like tommy now who will hold him accountable while being entirely sympathetic. It's a great dynamic that i would be very sad to see go (and so would buck i think because i have never seen heart eyes that intense on that man before....)

Buck/eddie: look. I can't unsee it, just like everybody else. Doesn't matter how cute tommy and buck are, i hold my breath whenever buck and eddie share a scene now. There's some weird shit happening there. I think the writers have been very clever with the latest episode because it leaves buck and eddie on good terms without insinuating what exactly comes next. Buck is completely focused on tommy right now (which is good!) and eddie has his own stuff going on, so a rushed buddie arc would make zero sense right now. As a lot of people have already said, buddie is very much a long-haul game and while we can start to see seeds at this point, i'd hate to rush into it. Cause the slow burn is part of the fun right :D right ????

Eddie: eddie. My silly goose. I love what they're doing with him this season. He seems so much more able to let loose and enjoy himself. He's getting sillier and i love that for him. He also seems to have headspace for new things now.... such as recognising that he's limited by catholic guilt..... which is the number one symptom of being into hot godly women.... right ... right..... I'd probably kill a man to quiz the writers on how they came up with the concept of eddie/tommy. Because that means they've thought about how gay eddie would make sense. They will have discussed his motivations and experiences over the last few seasons and recontextualised them. And mould them into the life of a closeted gay man. Gnawing. Clawing, even.

Conclusion: buck/tommy slay. Hate to see them go. Would love to see eddie be gay and get his own independent coming out arc just like buck did. Want them to be gay buddies for a while. And then see what that makes of the situation.....

Name: "Christopher Luna. But you and everyone we know calls me Chris."

Age: "29."

Do you like to cuddle?: "I love a nice cuddle!"

Can we make-out?: An excited smile spreads across his face,"Yeah!" a small blush fills those chubby cheeks."I mean...yeah." his voice a little smooth. "If it's cool with you."

A night in or dinner out?: "As much as I like our chill nights, I like to take you to cool restaurants. It's so many hidden gems in Arizona and I like to share them with ya."

Whip cream or chocolate syrup?: "Hmm, whip cream. Chocolate syrup is fine but you know me, I'll end up getting too focused on making a design."

Chocolates and roses?: "Hmm, normally I'd pick one. But when it comes to you? Porque no los dos?" he chuckles.

What makes you a good Valentine?: "I'm pretty laid back. Always ready to lend ya a listening ear. If you ever need someone to make those boring events a little more fun, I'm always here. To quote the great Tommy McGee, I just wanna make ya happy."

Would you cook for me?: "Yeah, I love cooking for you. It's up there with listening to you talk about your day."

Would you let me cook for you?: "Mmhmm," he nods. "I'd like to see what you make. I don't know, you have great taste in everything so I'd be happy to taste your cooking."

Where would you take me on a date?: The baker goes into his pocket, revealing a small notebook. "Soooo the local art theatre is playing Mary Poppins on 35MM this weekend. I remember we loved watching it together so that would be fun. Then I made reservations at La Vegan Madre. It's vegan but they have other options too. Then after that, a walk in the park before we go home for some wine."

Who’s paying?: "I can pay, it's only right I pay for what I planned."

What did you get me for Valentine’s Day?: The baker hides a small box with a wink, "As hard as it is to tell you now, it's a surprise~"

Beth kept her commentary and the tally from the Quiz glaring up from the phone screen to herself, rather than interrupting with little quips and asides. She knows she's going to be next, when Chris puts the same questions to her. They could have skipped the name and age, but that's part of the tally. She could have answered the cuddle question and the making out one, but she enjoys how he gets a little embarrassed by it. She wonders if he'll always be so shy. She makes note of his preference toward going out. It isn't a hill she wants to sprain an ankle on. And she approves of the whipped cream.

Oh, the she can't help herself. "Por que no me gusta flores muertos, y especialmente rosas, mi corazon. Si quiere, dame una planta araña."

He is very chill. Sometimes she wonders why Chris isn't as bothered as he could be between his family, work, and getting on in a world that doesn't really understand people like them. "See, ya onto somet'ing dere. An' I love you cookin' for me too, keepin' me from starving to deaf. TO DEAF." He makes up for the roses comment though by being sweet and mentioning listening to her. "An' I will not cook for you. I nevah wanna be accused of war crimes." The note book is a surprise and tells her that maybe he saw this coming, that it wasn't a surprise as she thought it would have been. "Oh my gosh! We love dat movie!" And she's seen it so often, she doesn't need subtitles to enjoy it. "La Madre, huh? Good choice, an' I'm surprise. Always t'ought you were a meat eater, t'rough an' t'rough. I dunno...dat sounds like...really amazing."

She wobbles her head about paying but doesn't feel strongly one way or the other enough to argue about it. The last one gets her eyes to narrow. Suspicion paints her face. "Okay. I mean, I don' got da right mana to guess accurately, so you get by on dis one, Luna." She can't keep a straight face.

"Yeah, you're totally my Valentime."
