Did Eddie use the Legally Blonde "Bend and Snap" on Buck in the 9-1-1 episode Voices?

As soon as I saw this scene from the 9-1-1 episode Voices (season 8 episode 10) of Eddie awkwardly bending down to close the U-Haul trailer, it immediately made me think of the renowned Bend and Snap scene from the Legally Blonde movie. In the movie, Elle Woods was teaching Paulette Bonafonté that flirty move so that Paulette could use it later to attract her crush, Kyle the delivery driver.

So, is it just a random coincidence or is Eddie's using a slightly modified version of the Bend and Snap to subconsciously attract Buck. But since Eddie's still not aware or clueless of his romantic feelings for Buck, he did the move slightly incorrect as in bending in the opposite direction. Anyway, I'm sure it still left a lasting impression on Buck before Eddie left to move back to El Paso, Texas. According to this quote from Elle, "In my experience, it has a 98% success rate of getting a man's attention, and when used appropriately, it has an 83% rate of return on a dinner invitation." Which means the move is rather effective and not to be forgotten is the quote from the guy working at the salon The Bend and Snap, works every time!

I guess we'll see if Eddie's Bend and Snap worked on Buck especially if Buck continues to think of Eddie. And hopefully this will lead to them eventually getting together once Eddie and his son Christopher return to Los Angeles.
