i wish bobby was here

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i was saying earlier that i really wish they'd portrayed their struggles with theo with more nuance, because i do think it would be interesting to show parents who are struggling with a neurodivergent child! i think that it could've been a good storyline for them to actually learn from buck what worked for him as a kid, not as a biological father thing but more as a neurodivergent kid thing!!

it would've been really cool if they had a convo where they had felt guilty about not being able to 'truly understand' theo and had buck assure them like 'hey. the parents that understood me the most weren't my bio parents. i can understand some of what he's going through and trust me, you're doing great.'

and they could ask what they should do for theo and he could smile at them and be like 'just love him anyways.'

like wouldn't that have been a nice conversation!!! and buck could have the same struggle of what if i was inherently a problem child all along, and also trying to figure out how to be in their lives without getting overly attached, and coming to realize that he can be family without being theo's dad.

8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT – 9-1-1: “I Got You Babe” (917)

Guest star Oscar who played ‘Esteban’ is also credited for 9x17.

As always with IMDB be wary but they’re usually correct for guest stars. Also ignore the April 9th it’s obviously wrong.

Edit - his management said he’s in next episode!
