Most Memorable Scene: Eddie and Chris go to Buck's apartment after the Tsunami

I just love this scene of Evan "Buck" Buckley and Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz from the 9-1-1 episode The Searchers (season 3 episode 3). During the tsunami story, Buck did everything he could to keep Eddie's son Christopher safe. Unfortunately, Christopher and Buck got separated after the water started to recede and Chris fell in the water. Buck searched for Chris but the only thing he found was the boy's glasses. So when Buck eventually ran into Eddie at the hospital, he had the difficult task of telling Eddie that Christopher was missing. It weigh heavily on them that Chris was possibly dead. But thankfully, a lady, who was carrying Christopher, had arrived at the hospital and he was quickly reunited with Eddie.

That's another good moment, I'll post it another time. Anyway, the point is that after all of that, Buck was feeling down and blamed himself for losing Chris. It's easy think that Eddie would have been mad but he wasn't. He understood that what Chris and Buck went through was out of their control. Eddie even tried to add a little humor to the moment. However, seeing how Buck was sad and continuing to wallow in self-pity, Eddie became serious. He totally reassured Buck about everything from keeping Chris safe to how Eddie wholeheartedly and completely trust his son with Buck. In fact, he stated "There's nobody in this world, I trust with my son more than you." That is such a definitive declaration, for sure. I do love that Eddie got in one last joke before he left. It totally lightened up the mood.

This was just such a really good scene. It was very memorable.
