    • How does Eddie get Buck to go spend the day with Chris? By marching into his apartment and forcing him out of bed, showing not only how much he cares but also implying that he has a key to Buck's apartment. Buck isn't even the slightest bit peeved that he just let himself in either.

  • Buck shielding Christopher from seeing floating corpse by playing "I Spy," showing yet his protective and caring side toward kids.
Episode 3 - The Searchers
  • After everything that happened during the Tsunami, Buck is wrecked with guilt over losing Chris and letting Eddie down. Eddie's response to this is to waltz into his apartment to drop Chris off, say he's let Chris down more times than he can count despite being his dad but that he loves him enough to keep trying, that he knows Buck does too, that he would trust no one with his son more than Buck and that it is now Buck's turn to be saved by Chris after saving him during the tsunami. Buck is so overwhelmed he can't respond even as Eddie thanks him for not giving up. It works because the next episode Buck is back with the LAFD and has accepted light duty.
Episode 6 - Monsters

Buck is ready to do anything to apologize, but Eddie quickly forgives him when he sees Buck's apology is genuine, and then they hug it out.

When Maddie sees the crow at the end of the episode, Chimney learns it was stalking him in order to return his name tag, which had fallen off at the pumpkin patch.

Episode 9 - Fallout
  • After reconciling over the lawsuit and Eddie's anger issues coming to a head, he and Chris have dinner with Buck at Buck's apartment. Buck confronts him about his anger and admits he thought Eddie was punching the wrong people. Eddie then says he wouldn't punch Buck anyway because of the blood thinners, to which Buck responds that he'd still take him. This sounds like a genuine, if friendly, challenge to let Eddie punch him...but it ends up being a video game they play on Buck's couch, laughing like nothing was ever wrong, Chris cheering between them.
Episode 10 - Christmas Spirit
  • The mid-season finale is full of heartwarming moments, from Buck making gingerbread houses with Christopher and Denny (with Hen jokingly calling Buck "one of the kids"), to Athena and Buck planning a Christmas party for Bobby to Hen and Karen deciding to become foster parents.

Episode 5 - Buck Begins
  • On his first day at the firehouse Buck is instantly offered a seat at the table for lunch by Bobby while Chimney and Hen fill his plate. When they call him Evan (a name he doesn't like) he responds that everyone calls him 'Buck' (his parents having hated nicknames) and Bobby instantly refers to him as such. Buck can only smile in delight.
    • Compare this to how Hen and Chimney were treated their first days; Bobby truly turned the firehouse around.
  • The reveal that Maddie kept every photo and postcard Buck sent her, even taking them with her when she left Doug. The comfort she took from her brother's messages, even at the darkest point of her life, is obvious.
    Buck: When you left, you only had two suitcases.
    Maddie: And everything important was in them.
  • The Buckleys did a lot wrong as parents and when they finally realize this the very first thing they do is assure Buck that they never blamed him and what happened to Daniel was not his fault. They then add that he was born to save a life and that's what he's doing every day and they're proud of him. Yes, they're bad parents but even despite the conflicting emotions and their deep grief over losing a son, they still love Buck.
Episode 11 - First Responders
  • After Sue's accident, the call centre dispatchers are shown to be taking it particularly hard, none more so than Josh. Through flashbacks during the episode, we find out why - in Josh's previous role, a fire broke out while he was still in the building and he missed the order to evacuate due to him being focused on his stenography. When the power was cut, Josh discovered that he was the only one left on his floor and not knowing where to go or what to do (as it was his first day in the building), rang 911 in a panic. Sue was the dispatcher taking the call and despite Josh panicking non-stop, Sue was able to calmly guide Josh to get to a safe place and stayed with him until LAFD arrived. Later on, we see him visiting Sue in the call centre and when he mentions that he no longer wants to work as a stenographer, Sue immediately offers him a job citing his experience in listening and typing all day.
  • Likewise, Maddie and May are also shown to be looking out for Josh during the episode and Josh's relationship with Maddie is shown to be close enough that he can confide his true feelings towards her.
Episode 13 - Suspicion
  • Christopher bonding with Sheila's son Charlie.
Episode 14 - Survivors
  • The first sentence Eddie says after he gets shot on the way to the hospital is asking whether Buck is hurt or not before losing consciousness immediately after. They've come a long way from the tension they have in 2x01.
  • The scene where Buck tries not to cry when he struggles to tell Christopher that Eddie is injured and won't be able to go home is sad. Christopher comforting Buck when the latter finally breaks down in relief after receiving a message that Eddie's surgery went well? Definitely heartwarming.
  • Realizing that he can die anytime after the event of Eddie Begins, Eddie decides to change his will so that Christopher is assigned a legal guardian if Eddie happens to die. The person he chose? Buck, who readily accepts after Eddie says he has the rights to refuse. Not his parents, not his siblings, not even Ana, his current girlfriend. Why? Because Eddie knows that Buck adores Christopher and will fight his hardest for his son. First of all, The sheer amount of trust he puts in Buck is yet another display of a very deep bond they have, platonic or otherwise. Second, Christopher is very lucky to have these people who care so much for him. Aww...
    • Buck then notes that Eddie made the change a year prior.
    Buck: Why... you said you did this last year. Why are you just telling me now?
    Eddie: Because, Evannote , you came in here the other day and you said you thought it would have been better if it had been you who was shot. You act like you're expendable. (sighs) But you're wrong.
    Season 5

  • Eddie and Christopher's talk about Eddie quitting is another proof of the strong unconditional love they have with each other. Eddie is willing to quit so that he can ensure his safety for Christopher, but Christopher instead says he's fine with his father being in a high-risk job because he knows it's a job his father loves.
    Eddie: I thought you wanted me to stop.
    Christopher: I never said that!
    Eddie: (beat) You said it was scary for you, Chris.
    Christopher: It is sometimes... But you are really brave, and I can be brave too.
    (Eddie gives Christopher's scalp a kiss)
    • It doubles as tearjerker moment since if viewed from another angle, Christopher has to be brave to face the fact that the remaining parent he has will die at any time.

Christopher benefits from the therapy since it's one form of therapy kids with Cerebral Palsy can do, meanwhile Buck finally makes Eddie understand that while his job as an army medic and firefighter don't require him to follow through with the people he saved (where Eddie's regret of not being able to prevent his comrade's death stems from), the fact that he saved them is enough to give them second chances in life and Eddie deserves the second chance too for what he's done. Eddie then finally makes his first genuine smile after going to Frank for therapy sessions.
Episode 15 - FOMO
  • It's small, but the fact that Eddie looks more bright and energetic in contrast to his appearance in the last two episodes is a good sign that he finally took Buck's pep talk to heart and attended Frank's sessions even more seriously.

    • Bobby being a Papa Wolf when he hears May has been mistreated by Claudette and planning to file a complaint, When he went to save trapped May, he was so protective he shielded May from the collapsed ceiling.

Episode 1 - Let The Games Begin
  • Eddie and Christopher having family dinner with Buck cooking one of Bobby's recipes for them in Buck's loft while playing Boggle and teasing Buck about his dismay about not being picked as interim captain is such a display of domestic ambience that rivals established couples of any show, and Buck and Eddie are not even dating or romantically involved!

Conner explains that he and his wife Kameron can flip through a catalogue what lists superficial things like hair, eye color, and even if they're a doctor or scientist.
