Buck and Eddie in front of a firetruck in 9-1-1 Season 8

With 9-1-1 being the show that it is, it is no surprise that the procedural has chosen to drop a massive twist at the end of the midseason finale of Season 8. The show really knows how to take advantage of its network TV structure in order to leave viewers on the edges of their seats, waiting for cliffhangers to be resolved. This time, though, nobody has been shot or struck by lightning.

Buck and Eddie share many characteristics with 9-1-1's other central couples. They are both first responders who met through work but support each other even outside of work. They've also acted like co-parents, as Buck stepped in almost immediately to play a key role in Eddie and Christopher's lives. In the Season 4 finale, after Eddie was shot, he told Buck that he had changed his will after his previous near-death experience.

That had seemed like the perfect setup for Buck and Eddie, until this week, when Eddie tells Buck that he's planning to move to Texas. Although it looks bad, it is actually the perfect chance for 9-1-1 to bring these two closer. Buck enters Eddie's house with a bunch of baked goods, hoping to be distracted from his loneliness. Even though he's struggling, Buck doesn't miss a single thing about Eddie.

Eddie, on the other hand, is right to be taking action, but he is taking the wrong one. After his talk with Father Brian , Eddie let go of his guilt enough to shave his mustache and stop punishing himself. He clearly hasn't forgiven himself fully, though, or he would just bring Christopher home. Instead, Eddie seems to think that the only way to make things right with his son is by giving up everything else in his life that matters to him.
