Most Memorable Scene: Eddie understanding Buck (9-1-1)

Eddie: Show-off.

Buck: I had to do it.

Eddie: I know you did.

~ Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Evan "Buck" Buckley, 9-1-1 season 4 episode 5: Buck Begins

I just love this scene and moment between Eddie and Buck, because these simple little words really showed how much Eddie knows Buck and why he does the things he does. Even more so when what he's doing is dangerous. In the episode Buck Begins, Buck defied Incident Commander Fire Captain Jeshan Mehta's orders to evacuate. He heroically risked his life in order to find and rescue the last remaining worker, Saleh who was trapped in a raging fire in a hand sanitizer factory. And bad turned to worse, when Buck and Saleh became trapped. But just when it seemed like it was the end for both of them, Buck's team, the 118, with Eddie in the lead reached him and Saleh in time to rescue them.

To me it doesn't go unnoticed that Eddie really knows and understands Buck and what drives him to do what he does. To know and love someone on such a deeper level, that's just simply wonderful. See this is why I have been and will continue to root for these two to get their chance to go canon. They're really perfect for each other.
