Most Memorable Scene: Eddie interrupting Buck flirting with Taylor (9-1-1)

It's never not funny seeing this Buck and Eddie scene from the 9-1-1 episode Dosed (season 2 episode 6). Because why was it as soon as Buck was all smiley and flirty with TV reporter Taylor Kelly, Eddie just had to interrupt that moment. It's funny because Eddie was working out over at the gym area in the fire station, but the moment Buck was flirty with Taylor, he just had to do something.

I totally didn't buy him asking about her health and then feeling the need to walk over there. Earlier in the episode, the firefighters had rescued Taylor from an emergency but she was fine with no injuries which Eddie knew. Yet, at that moment, Eddie subconsciously had to say something to try to break up the moment. So, he made it seemed as if he was concerned about her health, like yeah right, Eddie. Whether he realized it or not, he was jealous.

Which is why it's so funny, because he felt no need to interrupt when Taylor was talking to Hen, Chimney and Bobby. This reminds me of when Eddie started hanging out with Tommy in the episode Buck, Bothered and Bewildered (season 7 episode 4) and Buck was so jealous. Buck, however also felt the need to interrupt the moment, with an unfortunate result. Buck accidentally (or intentionally) hurt Eddie by pushing him while they were playing basketball. It left Eddie with a sprained ankle. It's still disappointing that the writers didn't show Buck apologizing to Eddie onscreen. Buck was jealous and angry and lashed out at Eddie. Which is why an on screen appology should have been shown. The Showrunner and writers always avoiding showing important moments on screen continues to be one of the issues I have with this show.

Anyway, Eddie and Buck really need to deal with their jealousy issues and finally tell each other how they feel.
