ScreenRant: What do you imagine Buck's future will look like at the 118? Can he accept a new captain [after Bobby's death]?
Oliver Stark: He'll have to eventually, but I think there's going to be a lot of difficulty involved with that. I think the whole dynamic of the 118 is up in the air at the moment. Time heals all. But I do think it's going to take a little period, and I think it will depend on who that captain is. If it's internal, I'm sure it'll be an easier adjustment for Buck. If it's external, I predict some issues moving forward.

Expect A Lost, Angry, Broken Buck Who Will Take Time To Move On
There are a lot of issues that are bound to arise, and friction with a new captain feels like pretty much a given at this point.
Of course, over time, Buck may well grow used to the idea of having a new captain, but right now, things are going to be too raw. Bobby's spirit will loom large over Station 118, and his replacement will have big shoes to fill, and might find it difficult to command the respect of those around them. As Stark says, if the new captain is an internal appointment, the adjustment should be easier for Buck. But, if it is an external choice, there is bound to be some friction, as there was between 9-1-1: Lone Star's Judd and Owen.
