Stark said showrunner Tim Minear revealed the twist around episode 15, shortly before episode 17, and season 10 will explain why Buck becomes Theo's foster parent.
He said Buck will face logistical and emotional challenges and lean on Eddie, a single father, as the 118 helps him adjust to caring for Theo after his parents' deaths.
The storyline follows Buck's difficult season, including kidnapping trauma, opioid dependence and Theo's return, and builds on the finale's paperwork confirming fostering rather than adoption.
