But Hen rightly diagnosed that Jerry was suffering from a rare memory disorder, Korsakoff Syndrome, which had confused him.

In the end, Athena and her partner tracked down Jerry to May's hospital, where Athena's daughter gave him a sedative. Jerry was finally caught and he was given the medical help he needed.

With Buck and Eddie not on speaking terms in 9-1-1 Season 10 Episode 4, Buck longed to share his problems with his best friend. Things took a turn when Theo claimed that Buck was not his father and had kidnapped him. A concerned police officer arrested Buck and brought him to the police station until the misunderstanding was cleared. While the incident was put to rest, this prompted Buck to reconsider his relationship with Theo.

When Buck saw Theo reenacting his parents' car crash with his toys, he understood that the kid would likely never see him as his father. Buck realized Theo considered him a stranger and likely kept hurting him. When Buck understood that he needed to find a new home for Theo, he took his concerns to Eddie and apologized for his behaviour. After Eddie apologized for overstepping, the two friends were back together. It looks like Buck and Theo's arrangement will change in upcoming episodes of 9-1-1 Season 10.
