“Oh my god, Buck,” she said between bursts of laughter. “I’m so sorry we woke you up. Really, I am. But, uh… we kind of… well, we lost Eddie’s car.”
Buck blinked. “You what?”
From somewhere in the background, Eddie’s voice chimed in loudly, cheerful and completely unbothered: “Hi, baby!”

Summary
May realised a very long time ago that Buck was basically her stepbrother. So, when the lightning strike finally provided the impetus for Bobby to admit that he also brought a kid into their family, she had every intention of seizing the opportunity to properly integrate Buck into the Grant-Nash family.
And, look, if in the process she also gains a brother-in-law… clearly the universe was just waiting for the opportunity to make that happen.
-
Or, the one where May ensures Buck is enfolded properly into the Grant-Nash clan, which means Bobby (and by extension the firefam, because gossip) suddenly gets significantly more insight into the inner workings of the Buckley-Diaz family, and all roads lead to Buddie…

Two Nickels: Bobby & Buck (& Eddie) are(n't) just coworkers - Athena's Mom thinks Buck is Bobby’s (& Eddie’s) (she's not exactly wrong)
----
People never realised that Buck was hiding things from them; they always assumed they would be able to tell if he wasn’t being honest. What Buck was good at was keeping secrets. His skills lay in never revealing that there was anything to ask about which meant he was never put into a position where he had to lie. It was why the 118 had no idea Maddie existed until two days after she’d arrived in LA, it was why they hadn’t been aware of how terrible her ex-husband was until he had literally stabbed Chimney and kidnapped Maddie, and it was why it had taken months for them to learn that Buck had made the decision to attempt therapy again. -

Summary
“So, everything will be pretty straight forward. We’ll have opening statements, present evidence, you’ll testify.” Dana waved her hand over her files. “We’ll go over your testimony before you do so that when Mr. Malloy’s attorney questions you, you’ll be prepared to—”
“Do I have to?” Buck asked, flinching when Dana’s eyes turned sharp. “Do I have to testify?”
A fine tremor had settled into Buck’s hands, working up his arms into his shoulders, and Bobby couldn’t help but feel like he was watching Buck splinter in front of him.
Buck gets attacked on a call and swept up in a whirlwind of events that he never asked for.
