‘9-1-1’: ‘Buddie’ Shippers Freak out Over Season 6, Episode 15

Last night’s 9-1-1, Episode 15, “Death and Taxes,” made some fans very happy, particularly the “Buddie” shippers. Fans of Oliver Stark’s Buck and Ryan Guzman’s Eddie have been begging for one thing and one thing only since Eddie was introduced in the second season: that the two firefighters finally get together. While it may be a far-fetched relationship, there are still a lot of fans holding on to hope, and the latest episode has them freaking out.

Towards the end of the episode of the Fox drama, Buck and Eddie were at a cemetery, visiting the gravesite of a woman they recently met on a call. Buck had gone on a date with a death doula he met on that call, and although the conversation was about how Buck was feeling after the lightning strike and Eddie giving him advice, fans made it clear that it was so much more than that, plus a few other scenes, and their reactions are priceless.

The Couch Theory Lives On

“Chris falling asleep on the couch while Eddie’s in the kitchen grabbing food just like Buck while Eddie was in the kitchen grabbing beers,” a fan pointed out. “LIKE FATHER LIKE SON I GUESS.”

All These Women, and for What?

One fan said, “Buck [and] Eddie getting vulnerable [and] honest as they only do with each other.” Another fan wrote, “so we now have to watch buck pursue another person who doesn’t actually care about him for HIM? I’m tired.”

Who Knew Cemeteries Were Great for Heart-to-Hearts?

One fan praised, “That was such a beautiful buddie scene. I love the simple, intimate moments like this.” While another wrote, “eddie definitely has come to terms with his feelings [and] is waiting for buck to catch up.”

“them really giving us hurt buck and pining eddie this season feels like hitting the brakes and stomping on the gas at the same time,” a fan said. Another one wondered, “wait hold on did the universe scream at eddie this time and did he actually listen????”

“eddie, buck’s best friend/work partner/the man who made him his son’s LEGAL guardian in his WILL,” a fan exclaimed. “had to stand there and listen to buck say that a woman he just met ‘really sees him’……i genuinely know eddie was hurt.”

They Have all the Support They Need, Apparently

“something about eddie fixating on dying alone,” a fan said. “finding solace in visiting his parents back in texas even though they truly never felt safe or like home because it’s buck but he’s not in the right headspace [right now] so eddie’s adrift and lonely. i’m having too many thoughts about it all.”
