I agree it'll be interesting which way they take it:
1. No immediate, close family.
2. Family, but they aren't prepared to take on a kid. (Maybe their older maybe they can't handle such an active, lively kid.)
3. There's a will..... Maybe Buck was named in it? That CAN be a possibility, they thought he's the reason we have theo so IF we can't be here anymore, he should be with Buck.
I think that was very intentional. The timing of it all. They just came back into each other's orbit .... They ask Buck about him as a younger kid. What was he like? Any specific diagnosis' ?
+ Connor saying "we are his parents, but that is your kid."
It allowed acknowledgement of both truths. Theo IS Connor and Kamerons son..they are his parents. But he is bucks kid thru and thru. He's got bucks blood running thru his veins. He's a mini- buck.
Yes as a society we have legalities that govern us, and social terminology we govern ourselves by.
However Biology. Genetics. Nature.
They do not adhere to those legalities.
Kameron is his mother, Connor is his father.
Buck is the bio dad. Yes he's a sperm donor. That's the legality part. He helped them, he donated Knowing that he was giving a part of himself and saying this child will be yours, but nature and fate sometimes have other plans. And it's so sad and heartbreaking, id never wish any harm to befall them. It's devastating they wanted theo so bad. And they had such a long road to have him, having to ask a college buddie to help them achieve that dream. And they only got 4 short yrs with him?
Devastating. But it sounds like they wouldn't of cut Buck out, he just stepped away bc he knew itd be too much to handle being around all the time, knowing and feeling that natural, instinctual pull a parent (bio) would feel. Even tho he knows legally he's just donor. I can't govern your heart and your natural biological instincts.
It's a special case too bc most of the time the donation is anonymous. They don't even ever meet nor KNOW the donor. So it's no big deal.
Knowing who it is, and even more actually knowing them personally as an old friend. That makes it a more complex situation. That's why Buck removed himself from it after. He held theo after he delivered him. And he KNEW he couldn't be in his life on the outskirts. Thats not who Buck is.
He would've continued to feel that pull toward him. And then it would've made it awkward or make his parents feel some way eventually, then it would be even harder if they asked him to step away.
So them bringing them back into each other's orbit before tragedy struck? Serindipity, much? Before that he had never met Buck, so bringing him into his life, showing him he's someone his parents know. Trust. It was important.
Theo and bucks paths crossed by chance for a reason ( yes obv. It's a TV show, & they write these sl.) but stuff like this can happen. Something comes into your life before something occurs, or u meet someone that will be detrimental to helping you in something that happens afterwards.
That user is a certified idiot.
Hes mexican-american.
Bc the character of eddie was created around and FOR Ryan guzman. Whos father is mexican and his mother is of swedish descent. Eddie even SAYS so IN an ep where rascist, homophobic ppl are protesting a gay man's military funeral.
That racist ass man whos own waste he ended up choking on refused help from chim & hen bc of their race. Was okay with eddie for a split second, UNTIL bobby said "DIAZ" & once eddie explains hes half mexican, but can help him with the other half that is his MOMS heritage. He cannot get over eddie's mexican heritage. Like? And this person also CLEARLY tunes out whenever eddie's family is on. His abuela. Spoke a lot of spanish, pepa does some. And clearly they wouldnt know latino culture and their people bc HOW pray tell do they miss that!? And abuela dying? Dia de los muertos, a literal mexican holiday celebration of life for their dead. Wow. This person is just...ignorant 🙄🙄
i'm a firm believer in the notion of eddie being younger than buck but come off older because he was forced to be that way after ramon told him it was time to step up and be the man of the house at 10
Eddie, who is bucks taste tester always.
Its just automatic for buck to hold out his hand toward eddie. Eddie is proud to be who buck 1st lets taste his food. Eddie gets veryy grumpy if someone else tries to.
The others notice and ask "how come its always EDDIE that gets to taste test!?"
And buck simply replies " bc hes eddie"
Like it shows just how special eddie is to him.
just remembered that no matter who comes and goes in their lives, buck and eddie will probably never love, trust or devote themselves to anyone the way they do to each other and smiled BIG
eddie didnt get to say goodbye to bobby, eddie doesnt know that he saved bobby from relapsing, eddie doesnt know that bobby loved him like a son, eddie doesnt know that bobby is proud of how far he has come, eddie couldnt tell bobby how much he meant to him.
oh my god just watching this back is crazy like maddie going straight from ‘wait he’s eddie’s friend?’ to instantly knowing that buck was unsure of his own feelings & knowing he has something to figure out & tell eddie
she been KNEW
Lol, right! Altho I just assumed perhaps he was just trying different sizes to see which fit better. It's possible as they were having that brief convo, the one he has on he took it off bc it felt too tight, so he opted for the next size. Then that's when we see Buck notice him, he's putting on the new one.
i just think it's so funny that blue, kind of rightfully, shoved buck, and eddie at a pretty impressive angle launched himself full force to send the big man flying back. like brother buck stumbled back 1.5 steps. take a breath. you can't send the man to the moon in retaliation
