Blah, blah, blah, proper name, place name, backstory stuff. We tried to talk around it, over it, and under it if you will, but this is exactly what it looks like: a sex scene.

This week Han, Cil, and Rachel dissect the Bachelor Party from Season 7 Episode 6 of 9-1-1 frame by frame — from the not so subtle glances and bitchy comments to the body language and plethora of double entendres.

Eddie's entrance gives off serious Fonzie vibes leading into the hilariously awkward interactions between him and Tommy, who just can't seem to stop trying to mark Buck as their territory. We navigate the subtext of the apparent love triangle, the palpable tension, and the underlying homoeroticism that saturates the scene.

We share our thoughts on the symbolism hidden throughout the night, from the costumes to the food, and how it all ties back to the characters' evolving dynamics. As the drinks flow and the karaoke gets rowdy, we explore the deeper themes of jealousy, love, and the undeniable bond and electric chemistry shared between Buck and Eddie.

The pinnacle of the Bachelor Party is the hotel montage that gives Wade and Logan in the Honda Odyssey a run for its money. We look at the blocking, cinematography, and editing choices that put together what is undeniably a not-so-thinly-veiled sex scene, complete with champagne orgasms.

Pick your poison and get those hangover cures ready because you’re in for a wet, wild, and for some reason feathery ride!
