Most Memorable Scene: Calendar Discussion and Eddie Diaz's Introduction (9-1-1)

I was thinking about this scene from the 9-1-1 episode Under Pressure (season 2 episode 1). Because while Buck, Hen, Bobby and Chimney were talking about the firefighter calendar (more on that later), Eddie was introduced. I couldn't get over how seriously Buck was taking being in this calendar and that he thought Chimney and Bobby had no chance of winning. Yeah, he's the quintessential "hot firefighter" that is usually picked for these type of calendars. However, Bobby and Chimney had just as much a chance as he did of getting picked. And just because Buck has that typical look, that doesn't mean that's the look that the calendar makers were necessarily looking for. Hence, the big surprise at the end of the episode and finding out who was actually picked.

I love that Hen pointed out that the calender upholds the stereotype that all firefighters are men. And just look at the title of the calendar, Hot Days, Smoldering Nights: Men of the LAFD, it could have just been called Hot Days, Smoldering Nights: Firefighters of the LAFD. Anyway, on to Eddie's introduction, I will never get over how it was shown from Buck's point of view. And that Eddie was introduced in a classic love interest way. From the slow pan of his body as he is putting on his shirt to playing the song "What a Man" by Salt-N-Pepa during the scene. There was absolutely no point in introducing Eddie from Buck's point of view in this way unless he was being presented as a future love interest. Which I hope will happen at some point soon.

I also can't get over Bobby saying Eddie likes to be called "eight pack". Because at no point in this show has Eddie ever been called that. It makes me think that Bobby was just making a joke, at least I hope he was.
