Part Of Me Really Hopes That Eddie Stays Single Until The Show Inevitably Ends. It Doesn't Even Need

Part of me really hopes that Eddie stays single until the show inevitably ends. It doesn't even need to be an asexuality/aromanticism storyline (although that would be very cool), I just think that not everyone needs/wants a romantic partner, ESPECIALLY when they've lost one already.

Despite many attempts, he's never truly gotten over Shannon, and maybe that's not a bad thing. Disregarding the dysfunctionality of that relationship, he clearly loves her and will only ever compare a new relationship to what he had with her. If he is unable and unwilling to move on from her all these years later then there's not really much point in trying anymore. It'll either happen or it wont at this point and its been leaning towards not for a while. Maybe I'm biased because my parent is widowed and has shown no interest in dating again/is happy by themself, but romance isn't the be all end all and I think that every form of media falls to the idea that it is.

Eddie never really showed a want for a romantic relationship after Shannon died. Yeah, he may have been flustered over Ana, but Carla and Bobby had a big hand in persuading him to pursue her, and the only reason he started trying to date again after that was purely because Pepa basically pushed him to. He even expresses how much he dislikes dating. If he hates it so much, why do we keep forcing him to do it? Especially when both relationships have crashed and burned in spectacular fashion.

Chris leaving and Buck being less available is SUCH a good thing for Eddie because he can finally learn who he is without any external influences. But it also provides the opportunity for him to find out how fine he is to be alone and that he already has everything he needs in his existing family.

I just think it would be a great option for Eddie, especially when it's a very rare for a character to accept that they're happy outside of a relationship.

episodes that i think every tv show should have:

timeloop

whodunit

musical

beach trip

random genre change (especially if it's to a noir detective thing)

one where they get randomly meta and fourth wall breaky but then never acknowledge it again

one where something happened but we as the audience don't actually get to see how it happened and only see it through the unreliable narrated flashbacks as recollected by the characters

Vaguely inspired by another post I saw but, what if we get the return of Felisa Valdez through Hotshots. I think we're all in agreement that she and Eddie had way more chemistry than Eddie and Marisol. Now Eddie's in no place for a relationship/possibly on the edge of a gay crisis, but when they inevitably cross paths again she takes one look at his moustache and is like 'you helped me through a major crisis, now its my turn' and thus Eddie-Felisa bestieism is born.

Why are there 2-3 pets called hoover on the show? Is hoover a common pet name in the US? Is it an inside joke? Did they just forget they’d already named a pet hoover? Is it pure coincidence? I wanna know all the hoover lore.
