Is Buck Really Leaving 9-1-1?

As soon as Buck says he wants a transfer, his fellow firefighters quickly point out they're not letting him go anywhere. Despite his guilt, he's by no means responsible for Chimney's departure, and the gang wants him to stick around for a bit longer. By the end of the episode, it seems like Buck is staying around for the time being. Perhaps this moment is meant to foreshadow his departure on a future date, but fans shouldn't have to worry about saying goodbye to him just yet. We figure he still has a few more fires to put out before that day comes. 

The "9-1-1" Twitter page was quick to assuage fans' fears about his leaving, too. After the episode aired, the account posted, "You're not gettin' away from us that easy, Buck!" It's good news for fans, who were also quick to voice their trepidation on social media. Underneath the initial post, you'll find plenty of comments from people relieved at the news, such as @mickeysmyheart, who wrote, "He CANNOT leave, [I'm] not emotionally stable for it." There's also @getova_yourself chiming in with, "I almost had a meltdown when he said he wanted a [transfer]."

Fans can rest easy knowing they probably still have quite a bit of time with Buck left. But as several seasons of "9-1-1" have taught us, viewers should expect the unexpected.
