Buck is not pining for Eddie. He even says so to his most trusted confidant, the one person he does not lie to about his own feelings.
He is not pining for Eddie. He is pining for Tommy. He was even baking during the conversation, which is an established shorthand for him thinking about Tommy.
I'm not interested in alternative takes on this scene. This is popcorn TV not prestige drama.
#people forget that this show is not trying to be clever or deep#there's no subtext here#what you see is what you get#also funny how people conveniently ignored the ending of the ep#buck didn't want to unpack bc it meant eddie wasn't gonna come back#and then the ep ended with him happily unpacking and settling in#pair that with him specifically stating he's not pining for eddie (bc let's be honest he would've done sth about it by now if it were true)#(he's a big boy he can know his own feelings)#they didn't close the door on buddie they slammed it shut#tim is just easing the fandom into it by saying whatever tf he wants you to hear#🤷♀️#911
