reading your tags about a breakup-during-a-blackout-double-date and ohmyyygod that would be hilarious. mainly for at least one person to be in the background with the "yikes 👀" expression tbh XD

akjhdsjsh alright this is how i see it:

eddie's on the verge of breaking up with ana but still figuring out how to vocalise it. buck thinks the four of them should double date since, "we're best friends, eddie, shouldn't we be friends with each other's girlfriends too?" except buck is trying to overcompensate to the nth degree and doesn't really want to do this either.

cut to an extremely awkward dinner scene where no one knows what to talk about. ana's uncomfortable. eddie wants to die a little. buck is scrambling for conversation topics. taylor is drinking wine and watching this all unfold with an air of detached amusement. anyway the power goes out, right, and for ease we'll just say this dinner is taking place at buck's loft.

so buck and eddie go straight into firefighter mode - finding buck's emergency flashlights, lighting candles (in a safe contained manner), knocking on all of buck's neighbours' doors and telling them to stay inside until the power comes back/making sure they have enough supplies etc. eddie is also extremely worried bc chris is staying with abuela and he can't get through to them bc he's got no signal.

(*insert buck reassuring him like during the earthquake parallel here*)

anyway when they make it back to the apartment there's nothing for the four of them to do but...wait. ana tries to reassure eddie about chris but it doesn't feel half as comforting as buck's comments do. buck is seriously considering asking to play monopoly by candle light until taylor suggests a drinking game instead (never have i ever or something idc) and that's when the Revelations start to happen and i'm feeling.....hmm......similar to the ep of new girl (1x15 Injured) where nick hurts is back and they end up staying at the beach all night, we get different conversations between the different combinations of them, one of which is eddie and ana's relationship ending but also all deep and meaningful in their own way

and then y'know, i was thinking how we've never really gotten an eddie voiceover before and it would be a very apt time for him to have one!!!!! again like i said, all about the light and what seeing the light means metaphorically etc. and then maybe just one teeny littler lingering look at the end of the episode, y'know. as a treat :')
