Summary
Eddie says, “The brownies are good, Buck. And you didn’t even have to get a hint from someone in your attic this time.”
Buck smiles at him, so at least Eddie can still do one thing right.
That feeling lasts through their next call, and the next, and then it all goes to hell.
It’s a call at a church, which feels a little on the nose. Some kid crawled onto the roof through the bell tower; Buck is harnessed up there and getting the kid down.
Eddie is on the ground. Buck’s foot slips.

Or: Eddie's Abuela left him something in her will that he can’t stop thinking about, and he has a crisis of faith. Grief, love, and what it means when someone sees you a little too clearly. -

Summary
Maddie says, “What's this about a meth lab?”
“Buck has a crackpot theory,” says Eddie, and he can’t keep the fondness out of his voice.
“No, no, okay, listen,” says Buck, grinning at Eddie. “The guy down the street from Eddie is definitely running a meth lab.”
“This is the fourth meth lab he’s uncovered this week,” Eddie interjects. “Since he did that toxic substances training.”
—
In which Buck and Eddie do a little off-the-books detective work, a science project, and a lot of flirting.

Summary
Eddie watched her carefully as her belly grew. He’d been too young to understand when she had Sophia, but this time he brought her water when she threw up and made her cereal so she’d have something in her stomach.
“You have to take care of your mom,” Ramon told Eddie, who nodded seriously. “She is older now than when she had you, so it is harder on her body.”
Her weight ticked upward and her balance shifted, and Ramon took extra travel days to build up their savings for the baby. She rolled into his cold side of the bed at night and warmed herself with her own fury at his absence.
Eddie kept bringing her cereal into the third trimester, well after she was past the morning sickness, as though that would help anything.
“Will you stop,” she hissed. “I already have to clean up after you. I don’t need soggy cereal.”

Summary
Not thinking about it took a lot of energy. Not thinking about it meant always thinking about it, a little.
Not thinking about it meant it was nothing if he went to a bar a year after Shannon left, when he was newly in LA and she hadn’t responded to his texts, and there was a man there who sent him a drink, and the man’s jaw was sharp and his eyes were kind and Eddie thought, it’s LA, isn’t it? Not Texas. This is what they’re like here.
God knows he‘d heard enough jokes about Hollywood types when he left.
***
In which Eddie drags himself out of the closet.

Summary
Margaret says, every inch the interfering grandmother, “Maddie, dear, are you thinking you’ll have another after this little one?”
"Maybe let her get through this one first,” Buck says.
Philip says, "We always thought two was the perfect number of children, you know. That way there’s always a parent available to drive each one around."
And Buck snaps, "Well that worked out for you, didn't it."

Summary
"You realize you do not have to compete with me in the zombie apocalypse, Hollander. ESPN is not tracking our zombie kill count.”
Ilya can live with Hollander hurting, as long as Ilya is the one who hurt him. Hollander will feel survivor’s guilt, obviously. He’ll go to the media crying and tell them how brave Ilya was. Their names are going to be linked together forever, and there is nothing Hollander can do about it, and Ilya will not experience any consequences.
Sometimes women tell him that his asshole cover is just a front for insecurity, but it’s okay, because he can put his walls down just for them. These women are wrong. Ilya is just an asshole. Nobody but God can judge him, and He’ll have the opportunity soon.
--
What if instead of Montreal, their game during episode 4 was in Boston. And instead of having a terrible time at the club, Shane, Ilya, and a bunch of their respective teammates (and the dentist, the referee and the EBUG) have an even worse time barricaded in the dressing room trying to survive a zombie attack. It might be easier if they were on speaking terms—but then, maybe it wouldn't.
They just wanted to play hockey.Series

Summary
“Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.
Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.
“Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.
Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.
They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.
