Spoilers ahead!
when it comes to 9-1-1 and three-part premiere events, my experience shows that usually the first part is “lighthearted” and “calm” (whatever that means for this show), while the second part is when the real major emergency kicks in and things start to change Gotta be even crazier. As a rule, the second part has the most difficult task: it cannot be rushed, since the events should have a climax and conclusion only in the third part. However, it can’t be too introductory, as the first part is already made lighter and more interesting. So Part Two is the middle ground: it has stakes and emotional moments, but it also sets the stage for the finale.
When things get tough for Boeing… There is an additional challenge. After all, this is a build-up show, and there’s only one main character in the crash – Athena. So I’m worried about how the other characters will be involved in this disaster, especially after the cruise ship sinks in season seven and left everyone with nothing to do except Athena and Bobby. It’s worth mentioning that I’m not familiar with this movie 9-1-1 Paying tribute, Airport 1975so the other thing that makes me curious is how they kept this airplane situation going for two episodes; there’s only so much you can do when the plane is about to crash. I must say that I am pleased and impressed with how well this season has turned out.
The episode begins before the final scene buzzSome of the passengers are introduced, and the moment Athena (Angela Bassett) and Dennis (Glenn Plummer) board the plane is shown again. Dennis revealed to Athena some of the secrets his fellow inmates had confided in him, leading her to believe he was the target. But before she could get in touch with her boss, the plane collided with a light aircraft that was hit by a swarm of bees. The collision caused two holes in the airliner: one in the cockpit, causing the pilot to be ejected and the co-pilot He was knocked out.

Meanwhile, 118 involves the accident that happens to Captain Gerard (Brian Thompson) – he is taken to the hospital after being rescued by Buck (Oliver Stark), who is having a hard time coping. What happened – was it an accident that he saved the captain? Did he want to hurt him instead? Hen (Aisha Hinds) becomes the temporary captain, and the first thing she orders is to have everyone dance a celebratory dance. Buck remains worried while Hen, Chimney (Kenneth Choi) and Eddie (Ryan Guzman) are enjoying their dance routine – which I’d say is the most relaxed and fun of the episode moment.
Back on the plane, Athena is trying to take control of the situation with the help of the control tower and flight instructor. In addition, Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Josh (Bryan Safi) stepped in to help summon 118 personnel to remotely rescue injured passengers. This episode was the best decision for me because each of the main characters had something to do during this major emergency. The scenes where our 118 protagonists help the passengers are also great because they give the people on this flight some depth and make us care about them. Meanwhile, Buck recruits Bobby (Peter Krause) at the end, who is probably the most suffering person here and still works on the firefighter show. They headed to Los Angeles Airport, where all the fire departments were sent. The episode ends with the co-pilot regaining consciousness, which is a relief to everyone on the plane…until he suffers a heart attack, leaving the complex task of landing the plane to Athena.
all in all, When things get tough for Boeing… This is another great episode in this promising eighth season. Will Athena ask that child for help again? He knows a lot about airplanes! How do 118 and dispatchers participate in part three? My theory is that Bobby will play a big role in part three, and his reunion with Athena will be that moment. What about Dennis, will his storyline end soon, or will he still be part of Athena’s storyline this season? Can we trust those American lawyers? I get weird vibes from them. I can’t wait to get some of these answers next week, I’m really happy with the season so far – it’s too early to tell, but usually when the start is disaster happens That Well, this season brings great things, so optimism is the word.
