Stark spoke about the season nine episode, Secrets, in an interview with Deadline, where he revealed he felt “awkward” filming the bisexual love triangle storyline with a real-life married couple.
In a heated post-club hookup sequence, Buck brings back a man and a woman on two separate occasions, passionately kissing them and slowly removing his clothes as they stumble towards the bedroom.
