Spoiler ahead!
9-1-1 Flirting with the horror genre all the time; in season one, there are many moments that could be part of the final destination movie. As the show is leaning towards comedy recently, especially in this eighth season sound Continue with A sob story Last week, the thriller was delivered with some unexpected machete moments.
After Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) was kidnapped by Amber (Abigail Spencer,) Chimney (Kenneth Choi) and Athena (Angela Bassett), it is necessary to work together to figure out what is going on. Given that Maddie was pregnant with a second child and was missing for the first time after giving birth, Chimney feared something similar might happen again – especially when Amber was doing her best to detectives, leaving the impression that Maddie chose to leave. But Athena was not convinced, and teamed up with Rick Romero (Danny Nucci) to find out if what happened to McGrady was related to the crying killer case. Meanwhile, Maddie is using her most powerful weapon, her communication skills fighting for her life to connect with Amber and Escape.

When I’m always happy 9-1-1 Crazy, bringing exciting moments. As a horror fan, there’s a lot to be happy about here, especially considering that the show gives us 18 episodes a year – the entire episode is filmed and directed, designed to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, anxious nails. The last ten minutes were particularly crazy. I gasped loudly and jumped out of the speechless seat as Amber cut Maddie’s throat with a knife with a real horror movie fashion. Chimney just arrived at Amber’s home, and Athena just discovered everything Amber did, all of which led to a tense ending.
But (almost) everything is fine. Amber is killed by Athena, Maddie and Chimney, their unborn child (a boy!) is good, but her voice, the most powerful weapon, the things she uses most often to work and connect with people (and somewhere, somewhere, connect with us, connect with us, and so do audiences), at least that means at least that means Maddie may no longer be the dispatcher. This episode also involves Maddie’s new pregnancy, whose callback is the first one. All this horror should be about Maddie dealing with her past and fighting again to stay in the lives of the people she loves. Meanwhile, Chimney is also dealing with what happened after Jee-Yun was born, the torture suffered by Maddie’s possibility of refusing to give up on her when she left them again.

A lot of things are happening here, and I think this episode is a bit affected. Amber just introduced in the previous episode, which means that the voice is both her backstory (she has multiple personalities because she was kidnapped as a teenager and apparently her mom didn’t give her enough love) and the last moment. Maybe it’s too much in a given time; what’s going through with Maddie and Chimney is easy because we’ve known each other for many years and we love and take root, but it’s hard to connect with Amber – it’s by no means Abigail Spencer’s fault, he gives some powerful moments for what she has to offer. Kenneth Choi and Jennifer Love Hewitt also offer some amazingly seductive scenes, and I love that both of them have some time to shine this season. After everything that happened to Maddie in this episode, I hope Maddie and Chimney will be here soon.
Finally, a huge (even if it’s short) moment sound What happened when Eddie (Ryan Guzman) left Los Angeles and said goodbye to Buck (Oliver Stark). Buck was under pressure because McGrady disappeared, but also because everything in his life was changing, including Eddie’s departure. Even though Eddie drove them somewhere, so maybe they could find her somewhere, this tension between them grew. In their last scene, there isn’t much to say because the feeling makes them both say under lock and key.

While Buck is someone who seems to be more apparently destroyed by Eddie’s move to Texas, it’s obvious that Eddie is a repressive thing trying to convince himself that everything is fine-not because he doesn’t want to stay, but because he can’t let himself work hard with Buck to make a re-arrangement with his son. From “not what” to “This thing between us is messy and tough, but I hope you know, you’re important to me.” I also like Eddie looking back before getting on the car. The whole process between them is so beautiful, the final touch.
9-1-1 In the storyline, there are two episodes of storylines with obvious romantic meanings, two episodes – two of which are like married old couples, followed by a hug of goodbye in a storyline on a rainy, cloudy afternoon, with some callbacks to Abby alone in the first season. If any romantics associated with Buddie are arguably subtext in the early seasons, their relationship tends to undergo a significant change since Season 7, and all signs suggest that this change finally happens before the end of the season.
all in all, sound Even trying to tell too much in such a short time is a good, surprising episode. It features some sort of Jee-Yun (Bailey Leung/Hailey Leung) with Mara (Askyler Bell) to provide important information about Maddie’s abduction of adults, which means Karen (Tracie Thoms) is back to a small, heart-warming special look, too. The way Aisha Hinds and Chimneys is so beautiful. In one scene, the Chimney tells the hen to be with her family, and she answers him on the way to “I’m already with my family”, which is so cute and important. After that, we’re back next week with the focus of Bobby (Peter Krause) directed by Aisha Hinds, and I’m excited about that.
