9-1-1 always offers plenty of action. Whether the crew is battling a major natural disaster or putting their lives at risk to rescue someone during a thrilling emergency, the 118 Firehouse is dedicated to protecting, serving, and saving. This season, the team rescues an endangered Athena (Angela Bassett) and Bobby (Peter Krause) from a capsized cruise ship in the first three episodes, and rushes to locate Chimney (Kenneth Choi) after he disappears the day of his wedding. But then, Bobby is placed in danger once more in the penultimate episode of the season, when an arsonist sets a fire at his and Athena’s home. After suffering from smoke inhalation, Bobby suffers a massive heart attack.
In the finale episode, Bobby makes a miraculous and full recovery (could the show really have survived the loss of Krause?), and is all set to resume his position as captain of the 118. All of a sudden, Captain Gerrard (Brian Thompson) shows up in the last few minutes of Episode 10 to throw a wrench in the team’s journey. Gerrard, who is a racist bully from Hen (Aisha Hinds) and Chim’s past, tells the crew that the higher-ups are concerned about leadership at the 118, and he’s now their new captain. Not only will this plot twist be a huge issue for the 9-1-1 writers to resolve, but there are many other upheavals in the lives of the characters that will need to be addressed in Season 8 of the ABC drama.
