Spoilers lie ahead for Season 8, Episode 6 of 9-1-1 , “Confessions.” 9-1-1 Season 8 has been airing mid the 2024 TV schedule , and it’s been emotional thus far. On top of the season opener (which once again put Athena and Bobby through the wringer ), Buck has been continuing to figure himself out after his coming out last season.
However, his and Tommy’s relationship hit a rough patch in the most recent episode, and it led to them breaking up. Now, Oliver Stark is commenting on what lies ahead for Buck, and I have mixed feelings on the matter. In “Confessions,” Buck discovered that Tommy was once engaged to a woman for two years -- and not just any woman.
It was former dispatcher Abby Clark, who Buck was involved with in Season 1. That relationship was so deep that he lived at her house after she left him, and he didn’t get proper closure until she surprisingly returned in the Season 3 finale. After talking with Maddie and Josh, Buck realized he really cares about Tommy despite their awkward mutual relationship and wants Tommy to move in with him.
However, Tommy ultimately ended the relationship because he didn't want to get hurt and because it was new for Buck. Considering what we know about Oliver Stone 's Buck, he’s going to take the breakup hard, which was evidenced by him showing up at Eddie’s at the end of the episode. He spoke no words, and there was just beer and silence.
Stark told Entertainment Weekly just how his character will handle the breakup .
