There was no need for this plot… if the guys at the diner were just meant to be a misdirect they could have had a minor conflict over ANYTHING else…why did they need to be homophobic to propel the plot?

Also the cop clearly had been told by witnesses they were a gay couple…the cop could have just been portrayed as lazy or that he didn’t believe Eddie. He could have thought Eddie had a brain injury or something and that Buck didn’t even exist…but the show has him repeatedly act micro aggressively towards Eddie for being gay and that’s the reason he is so uncaring about the case (other than thinking Eddie had potentially killed Buck in a gay lovers quarrel)…

Neither of those situations queerphobic framing were necessary for the story’s plot, however, the entirety of Eddie’s arc this episode is REPEATEDLY dominated by him being the subject of homophobia…

“Your kind”, “princess”, “your “friend””, “mend your wing*” — that is FOUR homophobic insinuations all directed at EDDIE in the span of one episode.

Why would that be a “straight” characters plot…
