Most Memorable Scene: Buck showing support to Eddie (9-1-1)

I love this moment between Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Evan "Buck" Buckley in the 9-1-1 episode Stuck (season 2 episode 4). From Buck's reassuring head nod and eye contact to Eddie's little smile It's a small moment but it's very impactful. During this scene, Eddie had brought his son Christopher to work because he didn't have anyone to watch him. That is until his Tia Josephina "Pepa" could get off from work to pick up Chris. Usually Eddie's Abuela Isabel would watch Chris but she was recovering in the hospital after accidentally falling a breaking her hip.

So, that left Eddie in a bit of a lurch with what to do with his son, which meant bringing Chris to work with him. However, Eddie didn't have to worry or feel stressed that he brought his son to work. Because unbeknownst to him, Buck had already contacted Captain Robert "Bobby" Nash to let him know about Eddie's situation. What Buck did for Eddie was very sweet and thoughtful. And that's not the only thing he helped him with.

Later in the episode, Buck introduced Eddie to his friend Carla Price, a health care worker. She was going to help Eddie figure out how to cut through all the red tape so that Chris could get all the health care benefits he should have. Back in the second season premiere episode Under Pressure, Eddie and Buck both agreed to have each other's backs and they really took that meaning to heart. Because Buck didn't have to give their captain a head's up about Eddie bringing Chris to work. But he did. Nor did he have to introduce Eddie to Carla. But he did that as well. He did all of that to help Eddie and Chris which I viewed it as they were quickly becoming very important to him. And he wanted to do whatever he could to help.
