Buck goes to visit Eddie and Chris. While he’s gone. There’s a news story about two civilians rescuing someone from some disaster.

Chim: Did you hear about what happened in El Paso?

Bobby: A bit, but I didn’t pay much attention.

Hen: What do you mean?

Bobby: Not my circus, not my monkeys.

*Bobby’s phone rings*

Bobby (on phone): Yes, this is Captain Nash. Yes. Oh. Oh no. Oh my god. Thank god. Yes, of course. Right away.

*hangs up phone*

Bobby: . . . . So, apparently those were my monkeys.

I really find the title for 8.17 really interesting and there are some things I want to share that have my head spinning.

One, there’s a song thats titled “Don’t Drink The Water” by The Dave Matthews Band. And some key phrases that could be pertaining to Eddie are…

Which hello sexuality storyline?? But maybe it’s not about the song but about the actual phrase. Because there’s a known phrase that goes, “Don’t drink the water, drink the wine.” It’s often used in a metaphorical sense to suggest a preference for something else, or a situation where something else is more desirable. It highlights a situation where a seemingly simple and safe option, such as drinking water, might be more dangerous.

People argue that this was derived from the scripture Timothy 5:23 which says “Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.” What that indicates is that sometimes you need to drink wine instead of the water that’s intended for everyone else because that’s what may be what you specifically need for yourself. A form of indulgence in a sense.

Regardless, the phrase overall indicates wanting something you don’t think you can have. And you’re sick of hiding and you want some sort of release and freedom. And we literally had a priest tell Eddie that he noticed he opted for the water instead of allowing himself the indulgence of the juice he initially wanted to get.

Now I do believe that that was supposed to be a foreshadowing of some sort and it’s going to come back in 8.17 where we hopefully do get to see Eddie dealing with his sexuality. I just feel like the priest saying that juice metaphor to Eddie in the same scene in which Eddie has to mention he is straight says a lot. Especially now when we have the whole water/juice metaphor making a possible comeback. Like how could it not be anything relating to his sexuality? It has to be!

feeling some type of way about eddie explaining the things buck says to people. “buck was on the pier when the tsunami hit so he’s kinda obsessed with natural disasters.” “he takes christopher there all the time, got the place memorised.” it not only shows how much eddie listens to buck and cares about him, but it’s also him actively trying to get other people to do the same. this is why buck is telling you this, this is why it’s important to him, this is why you should listen to him. pay attention to him. care. it’s obvious how much that’s going to mean to buck, someone who came from a family where he had to fight to be cared about. and eddie does it effortlessly. he cares so much and he wants other people to care too. and like, we know buck will take any excuse to talk about eddie, and this is kind of eddie’s way of doing the same. his way of telling people what he knows about buck by elaborating on what buck says. i know why this is important to buck and i’m going to tell you because he deserves to be heard. it’s all very sweet.

seeing people on twitter call buck “clifford the big red bisexual” and remembering clifford only grew so big because he was loved so hugely and unconditionally by emily elizabeth. and thinking about twinky lonely season one buck who’d just joined the 118. versus big beautiful beefcake season 8 buck after nearly a decade with bobby, hen, and chim, with his sister, with eddie and chris. so yeah, clifford the big red bisexual growing and growing and growing because their love for him is so damn big.

One of the 20,000 unhinged moves Buck made this episode, is when he was attempting to become besties with Ravi he was trying to see if Ravi shared Eddie's interests not his

Imagine loving a guy so much you almost kill yourself to find his baby boy in a tsunami, you claw at the earth when you think you've lost him forever, you crawl under a fire truck to drag his bleeding body to safety with an actual sniper shooting your way, you accept the fact he put you down as his boy's legal guardian in case he dies with barely a protest, you agonise when he quits being your job partner, you take said son to the zoo all the time, you get jealous like a dog pissing on a tree when he has a new friend, you're there when he begs you to fix something you can't fix and you can only hold on to his shoulder to try and shoot the pain, you go to him the second some ugly man dumps you, you throw a hissy fit about him leaving to Texas and sabotage his house showing, and then, you cave. You cave and you give up your housing situation to help him, you move into his house and you let him go. You let him go because you love him that much.

And he looks at you like you set his world on fire and built it back anew, and you hope he looks through the rearview as he drives away, hoping he'll miss you half as much as you'll miss him.

He will. You were struck by the same lightning, you'll forever share a heartbeat.
