#except buck

i’m still thinking about their fake smiles throughout the episode and how they’re reflective of the ways they both conceal (or..try to conceal) their feelings

like buck was Big and Bold and Bright this whole episode from the very beginning. bowing at the mariachis, the way he was eating and joking at eddie’s dinner table, at the bar with lucy, and asking taylor to move in with him

and eddie’s honestly started bright and fairly believable but quickly devolved to these really painful tight smiles and tired eyes and Avoidance and anger that he always uses as a protective barrier
