Buddie is the slash ship between Evan "Buck" Buckley and Eddie Diaz from the 9-1-1 fandom.
Canon[]
UNDER PRESSURE
Hen, Chimney, Bobby and Buck are discussing the firefighter calendar, when Chimney points out the new guy behind him, and how handsome he is. Buck see's him and asks Bobby who he is. Bobby explains that he's Eddie, their new recruit. Buck asks what they need him for, but Bobby assures him that Eddie's history in the army makes him a good fit. He offers to introduce him to Eddie, and leads Hen and Chimney over as Buck watches.
On the way to a call, Buck asks Eddie if his full name is Eduardo, but Eddie says it isn't. He then asks if people call him Diaz, but Eddie also says no. Buck thinks that they need a nickname for him, since everyone else has one, and Eddie asks if he should take Buck seriously. Chimney says that he never does, and they all laugh much to Buck's annoyance.
As Buck is working out, Eddie walks over and starts his own. Buck pulls out his phone and starts to take some selfies, but Eddie says that he's in the wrong light. Buck says that he doesn't need light to look good, Eddie rolls his eyes and goes back to his workout. Chimney asks what he meant, and Eddie explains how they need warmer lighting to make you look good, and pulls out his phone to show some examples. Buck walks over and see's the picture's and says that it's cheating for Eddie to use a professional photographer for the calendar contest. Eddie corrects him and tells him that his niece did them. Eddie asks what Buck's problem is and Buck says that it's Eddie. He has too high of a comfort level for someone who only just arrived. Eddie says that he didn't mean to step on anybodies toes, and knows that Buck is going through some stuff since his girlfriend dumped him. Buck says that she didn't dump him, but Eddie just doesn't want Buck to feel threatened by him since they're on the same team. Buck asks why he would feel threatened by him, and Eddie agrees. They do the same thing, Eddie has just also done it while being shot at.
In the ambulance, Buck guesses that Eddie's seen a lot of shrapnel wounds, which Eddie has. Buck then asks if he's ever seen someone with a length of rebar in their skull, and Eddie asks what they're measuring. Buck says that working in L.A. means that they still see some pretty nasty stuff, when Eddie stop them. He looks at the grenade stuck in the man's leg and realizes that it's live. He yells at the ambulance to pull over.
They X-Ray the mans leg and see the round inside of him. Buck is confused since he thought it already went off, and Eddie explains how it actually works. They can't get the grenade out and had to call in someone who will be up in an hour, but Buck says that the man doesn't have an hour. Eddie says that he'll do it, since he's treated this before, and Buck says that he'll do it with him.
Eddie and Buck enter the ambulance and start to prepare to remove the grenade. Eddie asks Buck if he's ready and Buck nods. They start, Buck trying to keep the man's leg open while Eddie removes the grenade. Eddie instructs Buck on how much pressure to apply, and they get it out, Buck holding open the box for Eddie to place it in. They wheel the man into the hospital, and take a second outside. Eddie tells Buck that he's a bad ass under pressure and that he can have his back any day. Buck says that Eddie can have his, causing Eddie to snicker. He calls it a deal and they shake hands as Bobby comes up. The ambulance then suddenly blows up behind them, and Eddie asks if they're hungry.
Eddie is playing pinball, as Buck tries to suggest nicknames, but Eddie still says no. Bobby then comes up and tells them they picked a winner for the calendar. Buck says no hard feelings no matter who won and he and Eddie fist bump. Bobby says that's good since they didn't pick him. Buck jokingly says that it was rigged and congratulates Eddie, but Bobby says that it wasn't him either, confusing Buck.
7.1
In the truck, Buck notices Eddie on his phone. He asks who Eddie is trying to talk to, and Eddie tells him that it's his son, Christopher. Buck is shocked that Eddie has a kid, and Eddie shows him a picture. Eddie is all he has since his mother left, and Buck asks if he's at school. Eddie confirms, and Buck assures him that Christopher is fine.
Outside of the collapsing high rise, they notice a victim stuck to the window. Eddie asks Buck if that's the eleventh, and Buck thinks it is. He suggest taking the ladder to the fourth floor, and climbing up from there. Bobby gives them permission and they go ahead. As they reach the fourth floor, Buck tells Eddie all the safety precautions that they placed in schools for Earthquakes, trying to assure him that Christopher is in the safest place possible during one. Eddie jokes about Buck saying earlier that that was a high rise, causing them to smile as they climb inside.
They reach the eleventh floor and find the room. They set up a line and open the door. Once inside Eddie starts to make his way to the man trapped between the furniture and the window, while Buck tries to help the woman, Ali. Buck holds the rope steady for both Eddie and Ali, when an aftershock suddenly hits. The window breaks, and the man falls to his death, when Ali's rope comes undone. Buck yells for Eddie to catch her, which he does, but they're dangling out the window.
HELP IS NOT COMING
They're able to get Ali inside, and find a way out when their former path is blocked. They find a new one when they hear a call from one of the rooms. They find a man and realize that he has a spinal injury. Eddie says that they have to move him, but Buck says that they don't have a backboard, and the risk is too big. They look around when Ali finds an ironing board, but Eddie asks how they'll get him down the stairwell. Buck gets an idea and they all head towards the elevator.
As they're packing up the fire truck, Buck realizes that they have service and tells Eddie. Buck drives Eddie to the school, and he quickly runs in and hugs Christopher, as Buck watches on.
STUCK
As they're walking away from the bar, Buck asks Eddie if Christopher was really the reason that he turned down the girl. Eddie says yes, but they also weren't his type. Buck says they weren't his either, but he was more talking in general. Eddie says that it's more complicated when you have a kid, but Buck calls it a weak excuse. Eddie reminds him that he's still living at Abby's which is more of a weak excuse, when he suddenly gets a call.
Eddie arrives at the hospital, with Buck and tow where he meets his aunt Josephina. He asks if Christopher is fine, but Josephina tells him that it was his grandmother who was hurt not Christopher. She notices Buck, and asks who he is. Eddie tells her that Buck is his co-worker, and officially introduces him. Josephina tells him that he can't keep leaving Christopher with his grandmother, and he knows, when Christopher calls him over. He smiles and goes over to him, leaving Buck with Josephina. Buck says that it must be rough for Christopher and Eddie, Josephina agreeing.
At the fire station, the group is talking to Christopher when, Bobby shows up. Eddie starts to apologize for bringing him, but he had nowhere else to take him right now. Bobby says that he did, the 118. Buck had called ahead and Bobby was able to get it approved by the chief. The alarms go off and they rush to the trucks. Back at the station, the crew take care of Christopher till Josephina shows up. At the end sending him down the fire pole with Eddie and Buck catching him at the bottom.
While making dinner with Maddie, Buck tells her about how he feels bad for Eddie. Christopher is great, he just needs extra help, but getting the help is kind of a huge mess. It shouldn't feel that way, Eddie shouldn't have to worry so much, and Christopher shouldn't feel like a burden. She asks if Eddie feels that way, but Buck says that he doesn't. He loves him and is a really great dad. Maddie asks if Buck's boy crush on Eddie means that he'll be moving on from Abby, but Buck just sarcastically calls her cute.
Eddie arrives at Buck's apartment, asking why he doesn't see any of Maddie's stuff packed. Buck admits to lying about the moving thing, and Eddie asks what's going on. Buck says that there's someone he wants Eddie to meet, and Eddie assumes that he's setting him up on a date. Buck assures him that this is someone he has to meet, she's what he needs, when there's a knock on the door. Buck answers the door to meet his friend Carla. He introduces her to Eddie, and explains that she is a health care aid who might be able to help him with Christopher. Eddie smiles at him as Carla see's what they're working with.
MERRY EX-MAS
While taking Christopher to see Santa, Eddie invites Buck along and they sit on the side to watch. Eddie expects Buck to bring up Shannon, but he figured that it's none of his business. Eddie didn't expect it to happen, and had only reached out to her so that he could get Christopher into school, and just kinda ended up in bed. Buck finds it understandable and they're not breaking any rules to begin with, since they're still married. Eddie agrees, but still finds it strange that he's sneaking behind his kids back with Shannon. Buck is surprised the Christopher doesn't know, but Eddie doesn't know what he knows. Buck says that Eddie is just protecting Christopher, since Shannon ran out, but Eddie says that he ran out first. When Christopher was first diagnosed, Eddie re-enlisted and told himself it was to pay bills, but it was really to run away. He got called a hero, but when Shannon left, she just got called evil. Buck asks why he's not letting Shannon back in Christopher's life, she's already back in his. Eddie says that's the confusing part, since he doesn't know if he would be doing it for Christopher or himself. Christopher then finishes with Santa, and Buck and Eddie walk over. Eddie picks up Christopher and starts to walk away, as Buck watches. The woman who helped Christopher down, tells Buck that he and Eddie have an adorable son. Buck doesn't correct her, and instead thanks her, before going to join the two.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT
While Buck is being watched in the hospital, Eddie joins him. He calls Buck trying to unlock the phone from an unconscious Chimney a bold move. which Buck knows since he already got an earful from Athena. Eddie gets it, but doesn't understand how Buck thought he would be able to get away with it. Buck was more worried about Maddie, and how all the extra rules were going to get Maddie killed. He's a civilian however, so the rules don't apply to him. Eddie asks how he's in hospital jail then. Buck remembers how he had told Maddie to start over in L.A. instead of running, that he would keep her safe. Eddie tells him that it's not his fault, and Doug would have found her either way. Only she'd be alone.
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
As Eddie finishes his call with Shannon, Buck drops down from the truck and jokingly asks when the wedding is. Eddie says that they already are, and asks if they have to get married again. Buck suggests talking to Bobby, since he might be able to get them a discount. He then walks away as Eddie laughs.
KIDS TODAY
Buck tries to sleep his day away, but is interrupted by Eddie, telling him to get up. Buck asks why, and Eddie tells him it's morning, he's got things to do. Buck says that he doesn't, but Eddie suggests at least going for a walk. Buck says there's no point. Eddie reminds him that just because he's not a firefighter, doesn't mean his life is over, but Buck doesn't see it that way. Eddie says that the blood clot didn't kill him, and now has his whole life ahead of him, he should take it as a win, should stop feeling sorry for himself. Buck tries to ignore him and head back to bed, when Christopher says hi from the couch. Buck is surprised, but says Hi, and asks what he's doing there. Eddie tells him that Christopher is going to spend his day with Buck. He should take Christopher out, have fun, might learn something from the kid who never feels sorry for himself. He then says bye to Christopher and heads to work.
THE SEARCHERS
Buck arrives at the field hospital, still unnable to find Christopher after they got separated by the tsunami. He calls Maddie and tells her what happened when he sees Eddie there. Maddie asks if he knows what happened, when Buck doesn't answer she tells him that he has to tell Eddie. Buck asks how he's supposed to tell his best friend that he lost Christopher. Maddie tells him that he has to, but Buck insists that he has to keep looking. Maddie tells him he's in no condition, and tells him to stay put so he can help. Buck says no, but she hangs up and doesn't hear.
As Eddie goes to help the new patients, he sees Buck to his surprise. He asks if he's okay, and then asks where Christopher is. He notices Christopher's glasses around Buck's neck and asks why he has them. Buck starts to explain how he and Christopher were at the pier when the tsunami hit. Buck starts to cry as he tells Eddie how he tried everything he could, but he doesn't know how to say it, when Eddie sees a woman holding Christopher. Buck tries to continue on, but Eddie walks past him straight to Christopher, Buck turning to see him as well. As Eddie hugs Christopher, the woman asks if he's Buck. Eddie corrects her and the woman tells him that Christopher was looking for Buck. As Buck watches, the rest of the 118 come over, and he finally collapses in exhaustion, happy that Christopher is safe.
The next day, Buck answers his door to see Christopher and Eddie. Christopher gives him a hug as Eddie walks past and explains all the stuff he brought for Christopher. Buck is surprised that Eddie wants him to watch Christopher, after everything that happened. Eddie reminds him that it was a natural disaster, but Buck thinks more about how he lost him. Eddie tells him that Christopher remembers Buck saving him, and now maybe he can do the sane for him. Buck says that he was supposed to look out for him. Eddie asks if he thinks he failed him, but he's failed Christopher more times than he can count. He loves Christopher enough to never stop trying, and knows that Buck does as well. He places his hand on Bucks shoulder and tells him that there is no one he trusts with Christopher more than him. He says goodbye to Christopher, and thanks Buck for not giving up just before leaving.
RAGE
While the 118 are shopping, they run into Buck. He tries to play it off as a coincidence, but abandons it and starts apologizing for the lawsuit. Eddie interrupts him and asks what he thought was going to happen, lawsuit was bad enough, but he told the lawyer personal things about the 118. Buck says that he's supposed to be truthful with his lawyer, and asks why Eddie is so pissed. Eddie calls Buck exhausting, they all have their own problems, but they suck it up. Chimney reminds Eddie that Buck didn't ask for his leg to get crushed, but Eddie is more fixated on the lawsuit and not being able to talk to him. He doesn't even know how much Christopher misses him, since he's not around. Buck says that the lawsuit doesn't stop him from visiting Christopher, but Eddie reminds him that it stops him from reaching out to him, he couldn't even call him to bail him out...if that was a thing that happened. Buck asks why he can't see his side, Eddie getting up in his face and saying it's because it's all he see's.
MONSTERS
As Buck is putting away the Halloween decorations, he sees Eddie who quickly averts his gaze. Buck asks if that's how it's going to be now, with Eddie constantly ghosting him. Eddie says that he doesn't know what Buck wants from him, but Buck just wants him to talk to him. Even if it's just to say that he's still mad. Eddie says that he's not mad, and takes a moment before asking Buck if he stopped to think about what suing the department would do to them. Buck says that he just needed his job back, he missed it and being part of the team, he never meant for anyone to get hurt. Eddie tells him that his choices impact them as well, that's part of being on a team. Buck says that Eddie is right, and he didn't think, he was just too mad about it all. But he gets it now, and is truly sorry. He'll do whatever it takes to get Eddie to forgive him. Eddie says that he's already forgiven him, that's part of being on a team, but tells him not to do it again. Buck smiles at him and the two hug.
MALFUNCTION
Buck is pulling a package out of his car, when an unfamiliar car beeps at him, confusing him. Eddie steps out, and Buck asks if the truck is a rental, but Eddie says that it's all his. Buck says that he didn't know that Eddie was getting a new ride, and Eddie tells him that it was an impulse buy when the A/C went out in the old one while he and Christopher were on the highway. Buck says that's not like him, and Eddie says that maybe it should be. Buck promises to remind him of that when he's asking for more shifts to cover the payments. Eddie goes quiet for a moment, before asking Buck about the package. Buck smiles, and just says that he found Bobby's old skating partner, Heidi Shotski.
FALLOUT
As Buck and Eddie are cleaning up after dinner, they talk about Maddie's friend who is still with her abusive husband. Eddie asks how Maddie is, and Buck tells him that she's taking it rough, but is going to have to realize that she can't save someone from themselves. Especially if you're not around to see it. Eddie looks to Buck, confused, and Buck says that he's sorry for not being there when he and Chris needed him. Eddie says that they're past that, but Buck isn't. He should have been there to talk sense into Eddie, or at least talk him out of buying the truck. Eddie thinks that Buck would have just convinced him to get something more expensive, which Buck takes as a fair point. Eddie says that things got out of hand for both of them, Buck shouldn't beat himself up about it. Buck asks if that's because he'd rather do it, confusing Eddie. Buck asks him to be honest with him, and suggests that Eddie might have been throwing his punches at the wrong guys. Eddie asks if he's really making it about him, and Buck says that the day in the grocery store he was pretty sure that Eddie was going to punch him. Eddie says he wouldn't do it, even if Buck deserved it, since he's on blood thinners. Buck says that he could still take him, Eddie asking if he thinks so, and Buck says he does.

Buck joins Eddie and Hen, asking if it's just him that thinks Christmas sucks this year. Eddie says that it's not just him.
FOOLS
At Buck's place, Buck slides Eddie a bear and says that all kids call their kids liars at some point. Eddie says that it's different when it's from your own kid, and Buck tells him that he should wait for the "you can't tell me what to do" phase. Eddie says that Christopher was right though, he did lie to him. He made his kid believe in the Easter bunny, and now has to tell him that it's all fake. Buck thinks that he might be over-correcting. Eddie says that he told Christopher that he's like all the other kids, but that's not true since he has CP. There's a lot he can't do. Buck tells Eddie that he read a book on Jim Abbott while in the hospital, and it turned out that he was able to pitch a no hitter, even though he was born with one hand. Eddie asks how he did it, and Buck explains that he practiced different tricks so that he could play the field. Eddie likes the positivity, but doesn't know how much practice will help Christopher stay on a skateboard.

Buck tells Bobby that they have to dig, but the drill is ruined. Buck says they could dig by hand, but Chimney says that the rain would cause a collapse. He asks how long Eddie could survive down there, and then looks around. He believes everyone thinks Eddie is dead, but Bobby says that nobody thinks that. Hen assures Buck that they won't give up on and Eddie and that they'll find him.
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
Buck sees that the building next to the apartment complex isn't on fire, and they can use it to get to the apartment.

FUTURE TENSE
As Buck and Eddie are wheeling in the gurney, Eddie questions who would want to live in a smart house. Not knowing who's watching with the camera's. Buck hates to break it to Eddie, but if he has any smart technology, than anyone can spy on him. Eddie then comments that he probably shouldn't buy the smart coffee makers he keeps seeing commercials for, when the house identifies him and shows him coffee maker advertisements. Buck tells him welcome to the future, and Eddie asks why that sounds terrifying to him.
Buck is playing video games with Christopher, who is bumping him to cheat. Buck tells Eddie that he needs to teach Christopher about playing fair, when Eddie turns off the TV. He decides that they're going to be taking a break from the internet, and Buck asks if he knows that Buck was kidding about the spying. Eddie asks if he was, because he's gotten a million ads for coffee makers and Buck says that it's targeted advertising. Eddie says he only mentioned it to Buck in front of the Hildy. Christopher asks if they're getting one and Eddie firmly says that they never will. Christopher asks if they can go to Buck's to play video games, and Buck looks to Eddie. Eddie just crosses his arms and shakes his head, so Buck has no choice but to say no.
Eddie is at home when he suddenly gets a package. He opens it to see that it's a coffee maker, and is very terrified.

Also planning his awkward apology. Eddie asks what he has to apologize for, and asks if he said anything that wasn't true. Buck says no, and Eddie says that even though he could have come at it differently, but he had every right to say how he felt. Buck says he doesn't need anymore therapy and just want to hit things. Eddie stops him from going at the punching bag anymore, reminds him that he's been down that road and doesn't recommend it. Buck's phone goes off and Eddie asks if it's Maddie again, and Buck confirms this. He says she's worried about him and he kicks the punching bag, knocking the stand up a big. Eddie sarcastically says that he can't imagine why as he leaves.
BUCK BEGINS
Buck is telling the 118 about his childhood, when Eddie says that it explains so much about him. Hen says it's a miracle he survived childhood, and Eddie says it's a miracle he survived yesterday. Buck says that being in danger was the only way to get his parents attention, but now he knows why, they never wanted another kid. They just had him for defective parts. Eddie says that's not on him, but Buck doubts they would agree.
Bobby drives Buck back to the station where Eddie is waiting for him. Bobby says that Buck's got a clean bill of health and Eddie is glad to hear it.

JINX
Buck and Eddie are going though the supplies on the truck, Eddie responding to Buck's list with "yup". Buck asks what that was, and an annoyed Eddie says "check" instead. Eddie continues to do this, when Hen and Chimney join them, wondering who thought it was a good idea to give Buck a clipboard. Buck says that he's better with it now, in fact he's Buck 3.0 now. Eddie asks what caused the software update, and Buck says it's due to his parents agreeing to try and go to therapy with him sometimes. If they're trying, he should to. Eddie says that Buck is allowed to take time to process everything, which Buck knows. He just doesn't want to look behind him anymore.
Eddie asks Buck if he ever replays conversations in his head and worry he sounded like an idiot. Buck asks if he's ever met him, and Eddie tells him that he ran into Ana, Christopher's English teacher, that morning. Buck adds that she's pretty and that Eddie has mentioned her in a long time. Eddie reminds Buck that she's no longer Christopher's teacher as they enter the emergency location. The air is filled with helium and the two start laughing when Bobby talks in a high pitched voice.
THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Buck is telling him about his date with Veronica, and Eddie points out that she didn't know that he lived next to her when they went out. Buck says that she could have known, and that his apartment is now no longer his safe space. Albert also needed to distract her for twenty minutes while Buck got the mail, and he doesn't want to always be looking over his shoulder. They then hear a rustle and Eddie realizes that the Turkey is behind them. The two then get some food and the net and are able to catch him.
BREAKING POINT
Eddie returns home after his date with Ana, and Buck walks in saying that he was late. Eddie said he had to take a detour due to construction and asks if Christopher is in bed. Buck confirms and Eddie says that Buck is a miracle worker. Buck says that he isn't, just an excellent negotiator. Christopher agreed to get into bed, but Buck wasn't allowed to tell him a story or turn out the lights. Eddie says that's probably for the best, given that Buck told him a story about a kid in a rotisserie. Buck says that wasn't a story, but a cautionary tale, and Eddie just thanks him for watching him. Buck asks how Eddie's date was, and Eddie says it was good, she taught him math. Buck jokes about how he thought he was single for too long and then heads out.
Eddie is a panic, unable to find Christopher when his phone goes off. He see's that it's Buck and starts to tell him that Christopher is missing, but Buck tells him that Christopher is with him. He had used Eddie's phone to get an uber to take him there. Eddie says that he'll be over in a second and the both hang up.
TREASURE HUNT
While cleaning the firetruck, Eddie mentions how weird it is that all the hunters have been solo, and there have been no teams. Buck suggests that greedy people don't want to share treasure, and Eddie says that might be the flaw. Two brains are better than one. Eddie suggests that they work on it together, but Buck already made a deal with Taylor. Eddie looks a little annoyed, so Buck asks how he feels about splitting it three ways.
At Buck apartment later, Taylor tells Buck that he needs to split his half with Eddie. Eddie asks if she really needs the money that bad, and Taylor said that she already agreed to split hers with her cameraman. Buck says that four-way split is still more than a million, but Taylor says that 25% of nothing is still nothing and looks over the plan on Bucks table. Buck joins her and Eddie says that he looked into the Willow Tree part of the riddle, and Eddie brings up that there's something called an arroyo willow, but Buck says that it's a shrub and he and Taylor go back to looking over the map of LA. Eddie awkwardly says that he'll be over here, thinking, by himself. Taylor says that they need to narrow things down, and Buck says that he and Eddie might know a guy.
They next day at work, Buck and Eddie talk to Ravi, about how many treasure hunt calls they think they're going to get. Ravi then tells them about all the ones they had the day before.
SUSPICION
Buck and Chimney walk into work, Eddie already there. Buck observes that Eddie is there early and Eddie says that he couldn't sleep. He asks if they remember Sheila from the other day, and Buck asks if she was the woman with the sick kid. Eddie says that the kid isn't actually sick, she's just making him sick. All the signs point to her poisoning him, and Buck asks with what. Eddie remembers seeing eye drops in the kitchen, and Buck asks why she would do that. Eddie thinks it's too make a profit from her multiple GoFundMe pages for her sons "medical bills". He then gets a call from Charlie.
After getting Charlie and Sheila into the ambulance's, Eddie remarks that they should have gotten there sooner. Buck says that Charlie is just luck he met Eddie, when Captain Mehta offers to let Eddie ride with Charlie to the hospital. Eddie starts to answer when suddenly, Eddie is shot. Eddie's blood splatter over Buck, and the two stare at each other for a moment, before Eddie falls to the ground. Just as a shot is about to hit Buck, Captain Mehta pushes Buck, who is still in shock, to the ground behind the firetruck. From under, Buck looks to Eddie, who reaches out to him as he slowly closes his eyes.
SURVIVORS
Buck has a burst of adrenaline and starts crawling under the firetruck to get to Eddie. He gabs him by the arm and pulls Eddie under the truck till they have protection. He then lifts him into the truck, and everyone scrambles inside to get away. Buck tells Eddie that he has him, and rips open Eddie's shirt so he can start dressing the wound. He tells Eddie to stay with him, when Eddie deliriously notices the blood on Buck. He asks if he's hurt and Buck says he's fine. All Eddie has to do is hang on.
They arrive at the Hospital and Buck hops out telling the nurses where Eddie is. He then helps Eddie down onto the Gurney and watches as the Nurses take him inside. Mehta asks if Buck is alright, and Buck stays silent till he walks away. He then says out loud that he's not.
Taylor meets Buck at the hospital and notices the blood on him. He says it's not his but Eddie's and Taylor is concerned that Eddie was shot. Buck says it happened right in front of him, but is unable to say more, just that he needs to tell Christopher. Buck doesn't have a ride and starts stuttering, when Taylor offers him one so that he can stop at home. He can't see Christopher looking the way he does.
Buck then goes to see Christopher, who asks where Eddie is. Buck tells him that Eddie got hurt and won't becoming home tonight. Christopher asks if it was in a fire, and Buck tells him that someone hurt him. Christopher asks if he's going to be okay, and Buck starts to tear up as he tries to tell Christopher that he's still in surgery. Buck then gets a text from Bobby who tells him that Eddie got out of surgery and things went well. Buck says that Eddie is going to be alright and starts sobbing, Christopher comforting him as he does.
Bobby is mad at Buck for making himself a deliberate target, but Buck says he wasn't going to let anyone else take that risk. He can't handle anyone else getting hurt right now. Bobby says that what happened to Eddie isn't Buck's fault, but Buck doesn't see it that way. He's just the guy who stood there while it happened and couldn't do anything to protect him. But today he could to protect everyone else.
Buck gets a call from Ana who tells him that Eddie's awake. Buck then rushes down to the hospital, where Eddie is. He tells Buck hey, and Buck lets out a sigh of relief. Eddie then uses Buck's phone to check in with Christopher and appreciates that Buck is staying with him. He asks if Christopher is doing okay, and Buck says he's doing better than him. Buck kinda lost it when telling him that Eddie got shot, and apologizes for not holding it together. Eddie says that Buck was there for him when he couldn't and that's all that matters. However, Buck thinks it would have been better for Christopher if he had been the one to get shot, much to Eddie's confusion.
Buck walks back into the hospital room and tells Eddie that the nurse is getting his discharge papers. Eddie says that since they have minute, and Buck asks if everything is alright. Eddie says that everything is fine, but he's just been meaning to talk to him about something. Buck sits beside him and Eddie says that he did almost die, again. Buck tries to interrupt him, but Eddie asks to let him finish. He tells Buck that after the well collapsed on top of them, he needed to make sure Christopher was well taken care of when he died. So he had his will changed so that if he died Christopher would be taken care of by Buck. Buck is taken aback and asks if he's supposed to have his consent for that. Eddie says that Buck could refuse, but Buck says that Eddie knows he wouldn't do that. Buck says that Christopher has other family, but Eddies says that they all tried to guilt him into giving Christopher to him after Shannon left. It's not what he'd ever want. Buck asks if they would fight for Christopher, and Eddie says they probably will. But no one will ever fight for Christopher as much as Buck ever will. That's what he wants. Buck asks why Eddie waited till now to tell him this, and Eddie says it's because he said it would have been better if he was shot. Buck may think he's expendable, but Eddie says that he's wrong.
PANIC
Eddie and Buck are wheeling a patient into the hospital when the doctor recognizes Eddie. She asks how he's feeling, making Buck suspicious, but Eddie just waves it off.

Buck points out that she's a cardiologist and asks if Eddie had a heart attack, which he says he didn't. Buck asks if he thought he had a heart attack, but Eddie asks Buck to drop it.

Buck says that Eddie needs to tell him is something is wrong and Eddie finally admits that he had a panic attack. Buck asks since when does he panic and Eddie says that's what he said. But he did. Buck assumes it was a trigger from him getting shot, but Eddie says that wasn't it. He admits that he thinks it was Ana, and Buck says that he thought things were great with her. Eddie says that things have been, but they've somehow become a ready made family and he doesn't know if he's ready for that. Buck asks what Eddie's going to do, and Eddie says he's just going to stick it out. Buck says that's not the way you talk about someone you love. Eddie says that Christopher loves her and Buck asks if that's enough. Buck says he knows what it's like to be Ana and it's better if Eddie tells her the truth, but Eddie says that sounds like a lot before lying back down. Buck sarcastically says that he has plenty of time since they're not leaving anytime soon and walks away.
DESPERATE MEASURES

Behind the Scenes[]
Oliver Stark (Buck) has openly stated how he loves that fans support the relationship between Buck and Eddie, and has even liked a few Buddie related tweets and videos. He eventually stopped which garnered negative attention from some fans. In December 2019, he explained in a tweet that the reason he stopped was because he didn't want fans to get false hope on where the relationship was going, since he didn't even know.[1]
- Observer – “We can’t talk about the important people in Eddie’s life without talking about Buck. It was heart-wrenching to see Buck’s reaction to Eddie’s shooting, but it was moving to see his reaction when Eddie told him about potentially becoming Christopher’s legal guardian if he dies. Can you talk about the decision to go with that ending? How does that strengthen the relationship that they already have?”
- Tim Minear – “It’s interesting. The reason I decided to go with that particular story was there’s always been something about how Eddie sees how protective Buck is for his kid. Eddie is always going to do the thing that he thinks is gonna protect Christopher the most, and just like at the end of the tsunami when he tells Buck, “There’s no one I trust with my son more than you,” that’s something he meant even then. The thing that I found fascinating about that scene is not that Eddie decides [after the shooting], “I want to put in my will that you would be Christopher’s guardian.” It’s that he has done it six or eight months before and he just hadn’t said anything to Buck, and I don’t think he would have ever said anything to Buck if he didn’t feel like Buck needed to hear it. He trusted he was doing the right thing, but he just didn’t want to burden Buck with it. He’s not planning on being killed in the line of duty or something and not being there to raise his son; he’s just doing the responsible thing and planning for worst-case scenarios.[2]”
- Observer – “It’s no secret that Buck and Eddie’s relationship has become a cornerstone of the entire 9-1-1 franchise, and a lot of people have fallen in love with the idea of them together. Oliver has even said that he doesn’t think that Buck could survive without his relationship to Eddie and Christopher, and we certainly saw evidence of that in the finale, and it’s unlike any relationship that I have ever seen on television. Has there been an evolving dialogue in the writers’ room to define the kind of love that is clearly there?”
- Tim Minear – “Yeah, it’s come up specifically and continuously. I always get bagged on by the fans for stuff like this, but all the conversations that the fans have are conversations that happen in the writers’ room. It’s interesting because we had Eddie’s character in Season 2 and from basically the moment that Buck laid eyes on him—and it’s mostly in the way that we introduced him, with a particular song and putting his clothes on in slow motion—that may have started it from jump street. But you can’t plan when actors have chemistry together, and I think that Ryan and Oliver have a ton of chemistry together. Now, how you want to define that chemistry, I think, is its own kind of evolving thing, which is almost why I don’t want to define it because the show’s not over. So, I’m not even really sure how to answer that question. I know that there’s a contingent of fans that would like a certain outcome and the [relationship] has a life of its own in fandom in that respect. But I do think that, look, at the very least, these are two guys who have a deep spiritual bond with each other. And by the way, I have seen it on television before—I’ve seen it in Band of Brothers. It’s that kind of out there, on the front lines. Hen (Aisha Hinds) and Chimney (Kenneth Choi) have it as well, so if there’s more than just that kind of chemistry between Buck and Eddie and a lot of people see that, I’m not gonna deny what they’re seeing. But I know that’s not a satisfying answer to your question.[3]”

Fanon[]
The pairing quickly skyrocketed in the 9-1-1 fandom, being noticed by most fans almost instantly. Most fans were drawn to the pair because of the initial antagonist behavior, since rivals are rather popular in shipping culture. Their rivalry didn't last long, but fans were still drawn to the pair.
Fans of the two will typically edit videos together of their moments, them being more common than art or fic in the fandom. Meta Posts are also very popular, as fans are quick to write them after episodes, bringing up all their moments from the episodes. Some will bring up how their moments parallel other romantic relationships in the show, such as Maddie/Chimney or Abby/Buck. Many will also bring up how there seems to be a romance being set up between the two, and how their relationship is the strongest one they have outside of their families. A common joke by shippers, is that Buck's sister, Maddie, is the #1 Buddie shipper, given that she's made comments on their relationship and seems to be reacting whenever their friendship is brought up.
Meta is also surrounded about how comfortable they are with each other. Often bringing up how they feel at home at each other's place's, or how Eddie might have a key to Buck's apartment. This is often used as evidence that the two might be in a secret relationship.
Fics will mostly revolve around them getting together, with or both of them pinning for the other. Some will also include people mistaking them for a couple, or just have their friends getting annoyed by their pinning. Some will also just have the two comforting and helping each other through difficult times. A common belief by 9-1-1 fans is that Buck and Maddie didn't have a good relationship with their parents. Fics that deal with this, will often have Eddie help Buck through seeing them again, and possibly getting together during that time as well.
Eddie getting a new love interest in season 3, did not sit well with shippers, as they felt it came out of nowhere and was a way to stop shippers, or that they were being queerbaited. Some fans are trying to quell others, that they need to give the ship time, but fandom has had bad times with ships like Buddie, and make it hard to trust creators with the pairings.
On AO3, Buddie is the most written ship for Buck and Eddie. It is also the most written ship in the 9-1-1 (TV) tag. There are currently 23500+ written works.
