The way his voice changes when he says "I have walked through fire..." you can really feel that emotion

[foolslayer]

I'm with Buck on this one. Known it or not, it's irresponsible to cut off your child when they're in need of help, not to mention cowardly. Buck and Maddie's parent should be ashamed of themselves.

One of Oliver Stark's best performances! Raw and powerful. 😍

"NOTHING I EVER DID WAS GOOD ENOUGH!"

I can so relate to that.

[Kiah]

This is literally what emotional neglect does to you. You don’t have physical scars, but you have deeply ingrained mental scars that no matter how hard you try they are still always there reminding that because your parents never thought you were good enough, how can you ever believe that you are good enough. All a kid ever wants is to be loved unconditionally. That’s all there is to parenting really.

[noahs.]

I honestly feel like this is the most raw and vulnerable state that we’ve ever seen Buck in and it was so interesting yet heartbreaking to watch. I really hope he finds some type of closure or peace within his storyline soon...

[excommunicado]

It'll be a crime if Oliver Stark won't be nominated for an Emmy or a Golden Globe for this performance.

[kennedynelson]

Yes, Oliver’s acting is amazing, but can we talk about how good the actor for the mom is! The little flinches she does when he raises his voice, the tearing up, but you still feel like she genuinely believes that she hasn’t done anything wrong. It feels like she actually thought that Buck was completely fine and mentally stable.

Oliver Stark showed some mad skills tonight! Serious talent!

[QueenOfLit]

I cried watching this...I wanted to give Buck a hug. when he said “love me anyway.” I felt my heart break 💔

[_TDS_]

1:05 amazing acting by the actress right there. The little flinch because of the outburst.
Also loved the synchronized hand gesture.

[ChihardTxGurl]

Watching this was like getting the wind knocked out of me. I never want to see him this broken again. But that accent break was what got me

[ruthswinney]

Did anyone else notice when Buck and Maddie talked about the baby box he said “your parents” as if they’re not his parents.

[laraibahmed]

Well this just broke my heart into pieces. Oliver's performance was amazing. I can't wait for the next episode!

Both Maddie and Buck are hurting but mostly Buck

[ariffisma]

This was a really powerful scene with amazing performances by Dee Wallace and Gregory Harrison (as Mr & Mrs Buckley) as well as Kenneth Choi, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Oliver Stark. I felt as if I was witnessing a family crisis unravelling before my very eyes. Chimney clearly showed his discomfort at the tension between the parents and their children with his features exemplifying the look of "I would rather be somewhere else". Maddie was unsuccessfully trying to defuse the situation while attempting to make her parents see the truth. Buck was driven by his pent-up resentment and anger towards his parents who tried to rationalize their inexcusable behavior by brushing off everything that was said by their children. Mr and Mrs Buckley demonstrated, at the very least, their lack of care and concern for both Maddie and Buck; at most, they showed their cruelty by their callous attitude. Where were they when Buck was hospitalized and had a painful recovery period due to his injuries? Why didn't they come out to Los Angeles upon receiving the news that Maddie barely survived Doug's attacks? Did they express any feeling of sympathy to Chimney who nearly died because of Doug? Instead, they casually brushed off the fact that they did not attend Maddie's wedding as well as their ignorance that Doug was abusing their daughter. Their behavior was absolutely reprehensible!



For me, this scene was powerful due to its depiction of reality despite being a fictional tv show. Growing up with narcissistic and self-centered parents who had been abusive emotionally towards me, this scene sends a clear message that these types of parents are just as bad as those who physically abuse their children. Physical scars often heal with time. Emotional scars can last a lifetime, especially while the parents are still alive.

Spoiler alert: I think buck looks really similar to their dead brother so his parents found it difficult to love him

[trietlam]

I really tried to understand for his mother. I do. But man, she said something that just threw me right out of the window
When Buck got hurt from riding Daniel’s bike. His mom called him a “grim reminder”. I always tried to stay on the neutral side when watching this show since the story started to develop the deeper we go. But man, I can’t shake off the fact that he was born to be an expendable parts for his brother. Even later when they made amend. His mom admitted that he was born to save someone

[trishasurangana]

Goddamn the roar he let out with that "walked through fire" part

[Kadendoesgacha]

Love the way he took up for his sister and she does the same for him
