I think my biggest annoyance about this episode is that it doesnt really feel like it’s a continuation of the previous one? At least when it comes to buck and eddie. Buck randomly asking for a transfer when the previous episode had him having that talk with pepa, his reunion with chris (symbolizing that he still has a family and that things arent as fractured as they seem) and ESPECIALLY that scene where he works together to end that fire with hen and chim symbolizing that they are still a team and that’s just… ignored? Buck suddenly doesnt give a shit about hen and chim? And i get it, he’s still grieving but then what the fuck was the purpose of 8x17 if it wasn’t him starting the ACTUAL healing process? Him randomly choosing to transfer is so… odd and out of place? And Eddie! What is the purpose of that talk he had with hen & karen where he slips out that LA is his home and that he’s worried about buck? What’s the purpose of showing us how happy he looks when he sees buck snd chris together again (showcasing that he knows his family is in LA?) All of this just for him to still seem to be eager to leave for Texas at the end of the emergency when it was such a great set up for him to realize he wants to stay and work with the people he cares about? Apparently since Chris didn’t even need any convincing to go back to LA?????? Was this weird dissonance between the two episodes and the character writing really just to set up chimney’s speech at the end (which mind u kenny killed but I’m really struggling to enjoy)??

Like I dont think they could have dropped the ball harder than this if they tried.

obviously obviously i really want buck calling eddie and sobbing down the line as he tells eddie what's happened. i've been a warrior since the moment that bts dropped and i've never wavered. but. but. equally as delicious to me would be eddie calling buck. whether he's seen it on the news or not because i imagine they'd probably be trying to keep this quiet to avoid public panic (?) but he's just calling buck to check in. their usual daily call. except eddie feels like this call is more important to make than usual. he doesn't know why. it's just a feeling in his gut. that he has to call buck no matter what. and he hears exactly one of buck's ragged uneven breaths and says buck's name so softly and buck breaks all over again.
