Summary
Bobby has been dead for four months, and Buck is drowning.
Buck struggles to balance his own grief with the haunting burden of Bobby's final request. The only person Buck feels truly understands him is May, another one of Bobby's kids set adrift by his loss. Desperate for space to drop the mask he's been wearing since Bobby died, Buck flees LA on a solo road trip. The 118 are nosey bastards, but Buck refuses to disclose his the details of his trip. It's May he confides in; May he trusts to have his back while he's gone and not to let the rest of their found family chase after him.
Part nostalgia, part pilgrimage, Buck seeks solace in the vast wilderness of Montana. Among the mountains and lakes Buck finally allows himself to breathe. To feel. To remember. To shift some of the crushing weight he's been carrying. But all the hiking and reflecting in the world won't prepare Buck for what he finds when he gets to Minnesota, and Bobby's final resting place.
This is a story about grief, loss, isolation, doubt; and, ultimately, a man chasing a final goodbye to the only real father he's ever known.

Summary
Eddie has never put any faith in personality quizzes. Buck, however, loves them, just as he does every other curiosity-driven deep dive into the vast pool of knowledge on the World Wide Web.
“This one is different though,” Buck claims. He’s been trying to convince the whole crew to take a new test all morning.
“How is it different, Buckley?” Chimney asks from where he is slowly merging into a bean bag by Hen’s feet.
“It’s about Love Languages.”
OR
Eddie's love language is acts of service and Buck takes full advantage of this information.

Summary
“Oh my God,” the girl says.
It’s not the oddest exclamation Eddie’s heard from a person who’s just crashed their car into a telephone pole, but more the way it’s said: something dizzied and a little resigned, as though she is both concussed and mostly just inconvenienced by it. It’s enough for Eddie to peer into the window as Buck heaves at the car door with the jaws of life, armed with a penlight. “Ma’am, can you tell me your name?”
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” the girl says, which doesn’t quite sound like a name to Eddie. He’s just about to tell her as much until she goes, “You’re LAFD Updates man.”
or, five times someone recognises Eddie as the LAFD Updates man.

Summary
After waking up in the hospital with a bad case of amnesia, Evan Buckley is reverted to his sixteen year old self. Much to the 118's surprise, this version of Buck is nothing like the man they've come to know and love. He's shy, skittish and quiet- everything their Buck is not. What could possibly have made their friend turn out like this?
And why do none of them have any idea about his past? Will Buck be able to keep his secrets, or will his sixteen year old self ruin everything he worked so hard to hide?
