Quote: Henrietta Wilson and Evan Buckley

It's 9-1-1 Monday, and although the show may be on hiatus, (there are two repeat episodes on tonight) I thought I'd post this scene and quote from the fifth season Christmas episode, Wrapped in Red. I love Henrietta "Hen" Wilson and Evan "Buck" Buckley's friendship and I've enjoyed seeing more of it during this current sixth season. However, I also want to see more of Hen and Howard "Chimney" Han friendship along with Buck and Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz' friendship as well in the upcoming second half of the season.

In this scene, I always found it interesting during the Christmas party, Hen asked "Where's Eddie?" (which I included in the quotes) instead of asking Buck where his girlfriend Taylor Kelly was. It's just interesting considering Buck asked Hen "Where's Karen?". He asked about her significant other, her wife Dr. Karen Wilson and not about a friend. And I guess Hen did the same thing because although Buck may have been dating Taylor, she truly wasn't his significant other, Eddie was. During the entire fifth season, Buck was shown looking miserable throughout most of his relationship with Taylor and not to mention he cheated on her. He was clinging to a relationship that wasn't working and Taylor did the same thing.

There was only one relationship throughout the fifth season that Buck made any real effort for and it wasn't the one with Taylor, it was Eddie. Surprisingly, the Christmas party was one of the few happy moments for Buck and Taylor, however, this was a relationship that was truly not meant to last.

Buck: Uh, where's Karen?

Hen: She's on her way. She packed up the car with so many donations, there was no room for me or Denny. How you doing? Still feeling less than merry?

Buck: I'm, uh... I'm okay. You know, sure, we're... we're missing some people today, but, hey, I'm thankful for the ones we do have.

Hen: Merry Christmas, Buck.

Buck: Merry Christmas.

Hen: Where's Eddie?
