Why Did Buck and Bucky Fight in Episode 8?
Major John 'Bucky' Egan (played by Callum Turner) and Major Gale 'Buck' Cleven (Austin Butler) couldn't be happier to reunite, even though it was on camp Stalag Luft III.
Buck wasn't dead, which not only relieves they would get to work together to escape, but it does take a toll on Bucky's patience.
In Masters of the Air episode 7, Buck and Bucky come up with a plan on how to escape Stalag Luft III prison. By episode 8, however, reality starts sinking into Bucky's mind — escape isn't as easy as it looks.
In this case, Bucky struggled to accept that they would have to wait for eight months before their plan got to move forward alongside the withheld freedom of other prisoners.
The dispute began when Buck and Bucky had to work on their routine as the camp's prisoners.
While Buck tried to look on the bright side of the tree stumps they could use to warm themselves with, Bucky took this as his last straw.
Due to Bucky's refusal to trust their progress, he ends up in a physical argument with his friend Buck, fueling their frustration over not having any alternate plan to get home.
