How cute were these scenes?

Another person added: "Don't get me wrong i LOVE the buck/hen bestieism & I'd be very happy to see more Eddie/Chim too but... it feels like they're laying it thick with the buck/hen to avoid having Buck/Eddie in the same room it's like they're not even friends anymore," while another person tweeted: "The 911 writers completely forgetting buck and Eddie are even friends i just have to laugh at this point so i don’t get upset anymore."

One person wrote: "I feel like we're seriously lacking in the Buck and Eddie scenes like they shared two words this entire ep. When are they going to actually talk again?

[In] previous seasons these two were so intertwined in each other's lives and now it's just non-existent almost."
