Remember when we said we’d be in for a Rangers spinoff from 9-1-1: Lone Star?
We’re still interested, but the epic potential bromance between Carlos and Campbell might be off the menu.
The biggest plot twist of the season so far is that Campbell may have been a dirty Ranger who arranged the deaths of many confidential informants and may have had something to do with the death of Gabriel Reyes.
Did anyone else see that guy coming?
I can tell you right now that I wasn’t expecting a revelation like this in the final moments of The Quiet Man, and I’m going to have to wait for quite some time.
The show’s Ranger portion of the show has been on hiatus since earlier in the season, 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 1, and the focus for this hour was entirely on the series’ Rangers Partially.
The opening game was heartbreaking.
Because of Grace’s departure, I took back any negative words or thoughts I had about Wyatt.
He was highly capable as a dispatcher, and his compassion and enthusiasm for the job matched hers.
It was so upsetting to see him so calmly lead Julio out of that house and use a hot frying pan to safety.
Julio’s comeback was very satisfying, especially since that pan looks like cast iron, which can do some damage on their own, let alone fresh off the stove.
But the moment he puts down the pot and stands up, his worst fears come true; the murderer stabs him to death, and poor Wyatt hears the entire conversation on the other end.
This was Wyatt’s first death on the job, and it would haunt him forever.
It would be nice if we could spend more time talking about this and how it affects him, but at least he’ll be able to help the Rangers through call audio.
As a result, he played an important role in solving the case.
But Wyatt’s emotional beats are lost here, and it’s one of the few times that pushes him to the forefront, which makes sense.
As expected, the Nien Gang case is linked to Gabriel’s murder, and Carlos is also involved.
The raid on the gang house brings the high-octane excitement that Lone Star usually delivers via some phone calls.
Gunfire rang out and things got heated, with Campbell shot in the shoulder and blood dripping from the ceiling.
Remarkably, Nancy handled the whole situation very well, proving to be the perfect stand-in for Captain Tommy.
The revelation that Gabriel’s informant Nestor had been locked away in the attic for an entire year was shocking, but it also confirmed that he wouldn’t end the hour alive.
However, it was still a huge shock when he told Carlos as much information as he could before he died, including that Campbell was the last person Gabriel told him to be wary of.
This means Campbell played a huge role in the exposure of five confidential informants and the subsequent death of Gabriel.
It also explains part of why Campbell was so resistant to Carlos joining and playing alongside him at Rangers. Carlos is more than just a “Nibo employee.”
It’s great how the hour-long add-on leads to this revelation by establishing the fact that the two of them know very little about each other despite working together for months.
Carlos had no idea Campbell had four children, and apparently, Campbell never even met TK during this time
As many of you have guessed, TK is interested in adopting his brother rather than sending Jonah to an expensive boarding school.
It’s annoying for the two of them to revisit or bring up the topic of starting a family like this.
The main issue here is that the two need more space to discuss the issue properly and come to a solution that works for both of them.
Because the kid is Jonah, the scales are already tipped because Carlos looks like an asshole who doesn’t want to accept the family.
This forced Carlos to “switch” to TK’s side, even though TK had never talked to Carlos about this before starting research and making plans.
It’s one of the most frustrating developments when any one series chooses to discuss the subject of children, and a couple talks about children on separate pages.
It almost always leads to the same result: those who are not ready or do not necessarily want them must submit to the wishes of those who are.
This is unfair and continues to disregard the validity and normality of simply not wanting children and not being vilified for it.
Carlos had no time to be upset that TK had come to this conclusion without consulting him. He then adopts an attitude without hearing what Carlos has to say and then gets angry that Carlos has to go to work.
TK also didn’t want to bring up his ongoing support for Carlos and his frustration, and his patience was running out because Gabriel’s murder happened in the middle of their marriage.
It’s unsettling, but as usual, we’ll probably skip it all because Carlos must “convert” to adopt Jonah and work things out with his father as quickly as possible so his marriage can survive.
He has a lot of responsibility to compromise.
The adoption thing is especially frustrating because they’re talking about raising a child together, a toddler, not a puppy.
They spend half the time on two completely different shifts, and many other factors can make that difficult.
But again, because of the situation, and how ridiculous it is to send a kid to a boarding school in Switzerland, ultimately they just have to take him in Jonah’s best interests.
The relationship between Carlos and TK is tense, and because we don’t spend much time with them, it’s hard to tell whether they’re doing well or just getting along as a couple despite their therapy.
In 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 7, they seemed happy with TK’s birthday, but it was a challenging time for them, and everyone could relate.
It was also a challenging time for Tommy, who spent much of her time trying to coordinate her diagnosis and treatment.
When she says the word “experimental,” it’s clear what storyline is about to unfold for her.
That many insurance companies refuse to cover experimental procedures regardless of their effectiveness is nonsense and one of the many problems with the American health care system.
It was great that Tommy shared a moment with Owen about her health, as it was nice to go back in time and have him offer some support as someone who has battled and survived cancer.
It’s like they hit us hard with this devastating diagnosis and now they’re relaxing a little so it doesn’t seem so overwhelming.
Owen continues to fight for his people, donning his uniform and speaking to the mayor on Tommy’s behalf.
When that didn’t work, the team took apart 900 pages of bills to figure out how to adjust the budget.
A nine hundred page bill is crazy, but that’s what happens in politics.
We know full well that everyone who voted on this bill did not carefully consider every detail of it.
Most people don’t even pay enough attention to read the terms of service and agreement for whatever they subscribe to before they check the box and put down John Hancock.
This is how politicians bury unspeakable, horrific things in bills and then pass them without people knowing what’s really going on until it’s too late.
Sure enough, the city government spends money on too many things, which is simply a waste.
Do they need thousands of dollars to buy Christmas decorations or designer coffee beans? No.
Does the entire 900-page bill need to be printed countless times and given to voters? No. It’s a complete waste of paper and ink.
Paul’s discovery of these tanks made me chuckle because some of the most wasteful spending in cities across the country goes on such ridiculous things that are rarely used or used at the worst possible times.
Always the first to weaponize her social media influence and popularity, Marian will always be likeable.
Owen taking a stand and risking his job and future along with 126 other members is enough to get you excited, even though we know there will be no consequences for their ending.
It’s also fine for police to show up to support firefighters, but that’s probably because the sad reality is that first responders will risk their lives and dedicate their lives and health to these dangerous jobs and then have no one to care for them in this dangerous place them.
After 9/11, Irving had to fight hard for first responders to get the proper care and support they needed, and he understands this better than most.
Most of the health conditions that people develop over time may be directly related or related to hazards at work, but there is little coverage for post-event treatment.
The police know this too because they are no better off.
In the meantime, this is a win for them and it’s reassuring to know that Tommy will get the treatment she needs, guaranteeing her a better chance of survival than conventional chemotherapy and the mayor’s “thoughts and prayers.” “.
Given Owen’s history, it makes a lot of sense for him to be at the forefront of this fight, and it’s great when the series makes the most of his abilities in scenarios like this.
Part of me wants to see more from Judd, too.
As Tommy’s best friend, there is a lack of real connection between the two, especially after Grace’s death.
But Judd seemed to alienate everyone and became an alcoholic.
Others are noticing and making minor observations, but no one has intervened yet, so we may have to wait before something big happens.
Over to you, Lone Star fanatics.
What are your thoughts on Carlos and TK possibly adopting Jonah?
Are you looking forward to Campbell’s turn?
