Buck’s Emotional Reaction to Eddie’s Exit Has Fans Divided: Immature or Heartbroken?

   

On 9-1-1, few friendships are as iconic — or as emotionally fraught — as Buck and Eddie’s. So when Eddie Diaz delivered the bombshell, “I’m leaving the 118,” fans were left reeling. But what really stirred up Bravo-style debate? Buck’s reaction.

Visibly stunned and silent, Buck’s response spoke volumes — and not in the best way. While some fans sympathized with his heartbreak, others couldn’t help but feel frustrated. One fan summed it up perfectly: “I love Buck, but his childish attitude really irks me sometimes.”

Let’s be clear: Buck has always worn his heart on his sleeve. His loyalty to Eddie is deep, and the thought of losing him at the firehouse felt personal — like abandonment. But instead of showing support or even asking why, Buck shut down. His silence didn’t come off as reflective — it looked petty. And in a scene where Eddie needed understanding, Buck gave him guilt.

This isn’t the first time Buck has reacted emotionally to major changes. From Bobby’s decisions to Eddie’s near-death experiences, Buck often struggles with processing his emotions in real-time. That vulnerability is part of what makes fans love him. But it also raises questions: When will Buck mature enough to handle these moments with grace?

As 9-1-1 heads deeper into Season 7, the fallout from Eddie’s transfer is sure to impact everyone at the 118 — but especially Buck. Whether this moment becomes a turning point for growth or yet another emotional spiral remains to be seen.

One thing’s for sure: Buck and Eddie’s bond may never be the same.
