Abby explains that there are two types of emergencies. The first emergency is the kind everyone has every day – their life. In her case, she’s a recently single 42-year- old taking care of her mother, who has late-stage Alzheimer’s. She describes the second kind of emergency as the one that comes without warning and the one that no one wants to have – car accident, fire, robbery, etc. She explains that’s where she comes in, as she’s a 911 dispatcher and the actual first responder. After Abby gets the calls, she reports them to the proper departments: firefight- ers, paramedics and the police. Bobby is the fire captain of the Los Angeles Fire Department. He has a good crew of hard workers includ- ing Evan, the cocky hotshot who likes to get women by flaunting the fire truck, Howie, the guy who is dating someone he met through a cop and firefighter dating site, and Hen, the only female on the crew. Bobby goes to confession every week, as a reminder of how easy it is to go down the wrong path. He tells the priest he hit rock bottom, abusing drugs and alcohol, and was put on leave. He’s been back on the job for 18 months, and doesn’t want to fall again. However, he explains that people do need ways to cope when they are in his line of work. Athena is a field sergeant with the Los Angeles police. She’s no nonsense, and seems to have a love/hate relationship with the fire department. Her home life is not stable, as her husband recently came out to her and decides to tell the kids he’s gay as well. 3
9–1–1 Episode Guide There are a bunch of calls that Abby directs to Bobby and Athena. The first is a report of a baby crying in an apartment building wall. At first, Bobby and the crew don’t believe the caller, as he’s high and they don’t hear anything. Bobby is the first to hear the cries, and they realize that someone must have flushed a baby down a toilet. As they work to knock the wall and free the infant from a pipe, Athena shows up to investigate who would have flushed the newborn. The paramedics resituate the baby, and Evan runs out to the ambulance. Meanwhile, Athena is able to locate the teen mother of the child, and rushes her out to the ambulance too. Evan is adamant that the mother not accompany them, and Athena starts to throw a fit. Bobby steps in and allows the mother in the ambulance. Everyone arrives to the hospital safely, but Athena has words with Evan after they drop the patients off. The second call is about a woman who is being suffocated by her pet snake. When the crew arrives, Howie is freaked out by the numerous snakes in the home. They reach the victim, who is losing air quickly. As the team debates how to best rescue her, Bobby tries to untangle the snake to no avail, as it just gets tighter. Evan takes matters into his own hands and kills the snake, releasing the victim. As he checks on the victim, he flirts with her. Later on, Bobby tracks the fire truck and finds Evan on the roof of a building hooking up with the snake victim. He fires him on the spot, as this is the second time in two days Evan has been caught using the fire truck to hook up with women. Evan tells Bobby he thinks he may be a sex addict, but Bobby says he needs to leave his personal troubles at home, as they can’t risk precious seconds when on the job. The last call is one that puts Abby in the driver’s seat. A 9-year-old calls when she hears people break into her home. Abby keeps her on the line to try and get her location, as the girl just moved their with her family and doesn’t know the address. Once they get a town and street, Athena is dispatched, but can’t find the home. Abby suggests using sirens to pinpoint the location, but Athena doesn’t want the suspects to know she’s there. She calls Hen, who sends Evan with a fire truck. It’s a risk, but the clock is ticking. Abby is able to hear the fire truck sirens, but unfortunately, the child reveals her location in the home and the suspects see her. They hear the sirens too and panic. Abby gets one of the suspects on the phone, and lures him out of the home with the promise to let him escape. Of course, Athena is waiting outside for them. She’s able to catch one, but the other gets away on a motorcycle. Meanwhile, the child is reunited with her mother, who is waiting with Evan at the fire truck. The suspect pulls a gun, but Evan uses the fire hose on him, allowing Athena to make an arrest. Abby is still on the phone with Evan, who tells her everyone is okay, and the suspects are in custody. He commends her good work, and says she’s the real hero, which makes her day. Back at the firehouse, Bobby gets a call from Athena who is singing Evan’s praises. Bobby doesn’t immediately offer Evan his job back, but once Evan says he understands the importance of the job, Bobby tells him to suit up. 4

Abby is re- lieved after getting some help taking care of her mother and tentatively reaches out to Buck, who is struggling with the ”life or death” nature of the being a firefighter. Meanwhile, Athena and Hen respond to an unusual home invasion and a couple’s dispute leads to a dramatic rescue for Bobby. The first 911 call is regarding an incident at a state fair. Two guys are on line for a roller coaster. One, Devin, is scared to ride, but his friend, Chad, convinces him to go. The lap bar doesn’t close properly because Devin is larger than Chad. When the ride gets going, Chad flies out, and then the roller coaster stops upside down. Devin is left hanging on the lap bar, while everyone else is locked in tight. The firefighters arrive and confirm that Chad is dead. However, Bobby tells Buck to let Devin think that Chad is alive, so not to spook him even more. Buck urges Devin to grab his hand, but Devin is more concerned about all of the cam- eras filming him from below. Devin then looks Buck in the eye and lets go, falling to his death. Back at the firehouse, Buck can’t seem to get Devin out of his head. He asks the crew how to handle losing a victim. When Athena arrives, she tells him that he’ll learn to let things go. She adds that the reason they wear a uniform is to be able to take it off, which is a symbol of letting go. She assures him he’ll get through it. 5
9–1–1 Episode Guide As a result of climbing the roller coaster, the media is calling Buck a hero, but he doesn’t feel like one. He heads to the funeral for Devin, where he confronts Devin’s sister, who just makes him feel worse. At another call where a window washer’s cable breaks, Bobby tells Buck to take the ladder up to the victim, while he goes to secure the cable on the roof. However, Buck hesitates and suggests he go up to the roof instead. After the call, Buck opens up to Bobby about how when he tried out for the Navy SEALs he didn’t make it because he would have needed to turn off his emotions, and he can’t do that. He adds that he wants to be the tough guy and help people. He asks Bobby about the first victim he lost, and, of course, Bobby can remember every last detail about her. Bobby then gives Buck the number of the department trauma counselor, and says he needs to talk to someone. The therapy session takes a turn though, as Buck gets his groove back and hits on his therapist. They sleep together, which seems to cure Buck, and that just upsets the therapist. Seems the therapy session helped Buck, as on the next call he does a distraction maneuver with Bobby to stop a man from jumping off a building. He thanks Bobby for pushing him. Then, Devin’s sister shows up to see Buck. She apologizes for yelling at him at the funeral. She then tells Buck that Devin has tried to kill himself before. She thought he was better, but he started isolating himself recently. She begged his friend Chad to get him out of the house, so they went to the fair. She fears that she is the reason Devin is gone. Buck tells her that it’s neither of their faults, as some people just don’t want to be saved. Meanwhile, dispatcher Abby is starting to get her groove back, when a new nurse for her mother arrives. Nurse Carla is friendly, and really good at taking care of Abby’s mother. One night, after Abby’s mother goes to sleep, Abby and Carla get to know each other and share a glass of wine. On television, they see an interview with Buck about the roller coaster incident. Abby remarks that Buck looks like he needs someone to talk to, so Carla urges her to call him. She does, and Buck is relieved that someone is asking how he is. A few days later, during a dinner out, Carla suggests that Abby call Buck again and ask him out. She does again. However, the call gets a little weird. First, Buck asks how old she is, as she keeps calling instead of texting. Then, when she asks him out, he goes into how he has issues and he fears he’ll mess things up with her. He explains that he won’t go out with her because he likes her. He tells her that talking to her makes him feel good and safe, and he doesn’t want to lose her. So for now, he suggests they just talk on the phone until he can get his life in order. This, surprisingly makes her happy, even though he won’t meet in person. And Athena is still dealing with things at home. So much so, that she seems distracted on the job. During a call of a dog attack at a home, she rescues the man who called 911. However, after he gets treated and sent home, she realizes that the man was a burglar, and that’s why the dogs attacked him. Later, at a therapy session with her husband, she says she’s willing to stay married, but remain celibate. Unfortunately, even though he does love her, Michael tells her that he’s met a man. She’s devastated, and takes her frustration out on the dog attack victim when she finds him and arrests him. Unfortunately, though, both Michael and Athena are too distracted to realize that their daugh- ter is embarrassed and upset about their marriage ending. When Athena arrives home that night, she goes to her daughter’s room and finds her unresponsive on the floor with empty pill bottles next to her. 6

The crew jumps into action after one of their own is involved in a devastating accident. Athena tries to cope with a tragedy that hits way too close to home and Abby is confronted with a life-changing decision for her mother and makes a connection with Buck. The first 911 call involves a 10-year-old’s birthday party. The father is trying to impress his son with a circus-themed party. As the Santa Ana winds threaten to ruin the party, the father eagerly joins his son and his friends in the bouncy house. Of course, he’s too heavy and the winds are strong. When the bouncy house detaches and blows away, the father falls out and the house gets stuck on a cliff. The fire department arrives, and Bobby puts people to work. Most everyone gets to go down the cliff for the rescue, except Chimney, who is tasked with running the wench. Surprisingly, all of the victims survive. But Chimney seems upset with his assignment. After the rescue, Chimney goes home and pretends to cooks a meal for his girlfriend he found on the responders dating site. She asks him about the bouncy house rescue and gets all hyped up. After dinner (which Bobby prepared and Chimney just heated up) Chimney proposes to his girlfriend. She doesn’t say ”yes,” but she doesn’t say ”no” either. Instead, she reveals that she had been engaged before, but she cheated on the guy a 7
9–1–1 Episode Guide week before the wedding. She tells Chimney that she has commitment issues, and doesn’t want to hurt him. She asks for a few days to decide. Obviously upset, Chimney heads to the firehouse for some comfort. Hen and Buck offer advice, while Bobby makes faces in the corner. When Chimney asks what’s up, Bobby tells him that it’s probably for the best, as he feels she’s not right for Chimney. Of course, Chimney blows up at him, accusing him of judging everyone else, but not opening up about his own life. Bobby tells Chimney that he is not himself around his lady and that his relationship is based on lies. Chimney storms out of the firehouse. On the highway, Chimney drives a bit recklessly, but manages to avoid hitting a concrete barrier. Unfortunately, the truck he is avoiding plows into the back of Chimney’s car, leaving him paralyzed with a rebar through his head. The department shows up and realizes that Chimney has no idea what happened to him. He knows that he was involved in an accident, but he doesn’t know about the rebar. Eventually, they decide to move him, while still in the car, to a flatbed truck to transport him to the hospital. Buck wants to go in, but Bobby reminds him that their job ends at the hospital doors. During surgery, there’s bleeding on his brain along with some complications and the doctors are forced to put Chimney in a medically induced coma. A few days later, Bobby goes to see Chimney’s girlfriend Tatiana, who hasn’t visited him in the hospital yet. He urges her to come to the hospital, as doctors will be taking him out of the coma. She tells Bobby that she can’t force something she doesn’t feel. She’s worried about playing the part of the loving girlfriend when she doesn’t love Chimney. Bobby explains that he’s not asking her to love Chimney, but rather, give him some hope to fight to survive. She tells Bobby she can’t. Later, Bobby, Buck and Hen go to see Chimney who is resting. Bobby takes his hand, while they all talk to him. Chimney doesn’t open his eyes, but manages to communicate by squeezing Bobby’s hand and giving a thumbs up, giviung his buddies hope that he’ll be okay. Athena is forced to call 911 when her teen daughter, May, overdoses on some of her old medication. She tells her son to call their father as she heads to the hospital. While she paces the floor, Michael shows up. They try to figure out what happened and who is to blame, but decide to just be strong until they find out what’s going on with their daughter. And then Michael’s boyfriend shows up. He explains that they were having dinner when he got the call about May. Athena is not happy, but she doesn’t cause a scene. When May wakes up, Athena and Michael are by her bedside. Michael apologizes for causing May stress. She tells them it wasn’t her home life that caused her to take the pills. She says she’s being bullied by a group of girls at school, who repeatedly tell her she’s useless. May tells her parents that she feels useless and alone, but Athena assures her that she’s strong and independent. CPS shows up and says Athena and Michael need to leave so they can talk to May alone. Athena explains to Michael that CPS needs to assess the situation to determine if the home is safe for the child who hurt him or herself. May doesn’t want to be left alone, but the CPS worker tells Athena that she needs to do her job. Athena doesn’t like it, but she and Michael leave to go home without May. A few days later, Athena heads to the school to track down May’s bullies, but she doesn’t do anything crazy. She just stalks them, which is probably for the best since she’s a police officer. 911 operator Abby is having a tough time too. Her mother continues to get worse. During a birthday party for her mother, Abby’s brother Matt and his family show up. Matt tells Abby he put their mother on a waiting list at a memory care facility. Abby assures him that she’s doing fine taking care of their mother. He tells her she looks tired and it doesn’t all have to fall on her. Abby is insistent that her mother stays with her. Later, Abby questions herself. She calls her buddy Buck, who is on a call to rescue Mexican immigrants trapped in a hot truck. She opens up about her mother and wonders if it’s okay if she puts her mother in a home. Buck tells her that though he doesn’t know much about the situation, he does know that the only thing that matters is family. 8

Bobby confronts his past demons; Athena is out for revenge against a group of teen bullies; and Abby delivers an important message from a 911 caller. As a plane is coming in to land, it looks like it hits turbulence. The hydraulics have been knocked out, meaning the pi- lot and co-pilot have no choice to but crash-land. Those not buckled in are thrown around the plane, and a couple who decided to join the mile-high club are trapped in the bathroom by a stray trol- ley. While at the firehouse, Buck decides to ask Bobby about his book. It’s full of names that Bobby has saved, but there’s room for 148 names. Buck is curious what it means, but Bobby responds by threatening. Before it can go any further, the firehouse is called out to the site of the plane crash, where they will need to work with the Coast Guard to get any survivors. 9
9–1–1 Episode Guide There are survivors, but there’s only about four minutes until the plane sinks. Hen hears the calls from the couple stuck in the toilet, but the trolley is preventing them from getting out. When she can’t move it, Buck suggests tying the rope between the trolley and the raft, getting passengers to safety to pull the trolley out. It works, and the couple is able to get out. Most of the focus is on a young boy and his mom. The mom has been trapped by a metal bar between the seats, so she can’t get off the sinking plane. Bobby sticks with the mom, as Buck gets the young boy to the raft and away from the plane. Despite calls for Bobby to get out, he refuses to leave the mom, telling her that he will go down with her if that’s the case. As Bobby is connected by the waist to a chopper and the plane sinks, he manages to free the mom and they’re both lifted to safety. Mom and son are reunited. Meanwhile, Athena is dealing with the aftermath of her daughter’s suicide attempt. After watching Laila throw a party, Athena decides to walk in to discuss her daughter. When Laila refuses to apologize or own up to anything she has done, Athena arrests her for possession of a controlled substance. The parents turn up to the police station angry at the personal vengeance, but Athena doesn’t have time to talk to them. She’s called out to the airport, which is on lockdown because of the plane crash. Next of kin of those on board the flight want answers, but nobody has those answers. When a call over the radio comes in about a passenger on board another flight causing havoc, Athena decides to tackle that situation. When Athena gets to the flight, the situation isn’t quite what she expected. A man has been duct-taped to his seat by airport police for allegedly causing a disturbance and assaulting an officer. One of the passengers caught it all on camera, showing that the incident escalated quickly and that the airport policeman was the one at fault. After hearing that the CEO of the airport ordered for all passengers to remain on the plane for eight hours, she puts them all ”under arrest” to get them in her jurisdiction so she can get them off the plane. Athena is called into her captain’s office after the case over the situation with Laila. While the captain empathizes, she has no choice but to put Athena on restrictive duty. Abby has her own situation to deal with. As the plane went down, a passenger called Dale Marks called 9-1-1. Knowing the calls were recorded, he knew he’d be able to get a message to his pregnant wife in case he didn’t make it out alive. It’s a beautiful and heartfelt message, but he’s suddenly cut off. After seeing the crash on the news, Abby makes a call to Buck for help in finding Dale. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it out alive. Abby arranges for Dale’s wife to come to her desk to hear the recorded call. In the end, the team goes back to their lives, reeling from the difficult night. Bobby returns home to an empty house, with daydreams of what he would tell his children. Hen and Buck get to his home when he doesn’t answer his phone, where they find him passed out on the bed. Hen makes a point that all she knows is that he’s in recovery, but there’s an empty whiskey bottle on the bed, ending 18 months of sobriety. As Buck and Hen make it clear that they’re going nowhere, Bobby finally breaks down and asks for help. Bobby’s secrets are finally starting to come out. Meanwhile, Abby returns home, where Carla is still around. Carla makes a point of staying to help, but Abby wants to be alone. Her mom complains about being too hot, and Abby promises to turn the thermostat down but falls asleep on the couch.

Abby enlists the help of Buck to try and find her mother and, for the first time, meets Athena face-to-face. Meanwhile, Bobby has a difficult time confronting his past and Hen struggles to make the right decision. After Bobby’s breakdown, he throws him- self into his work. At the scene of a wed- ding where the floor collapses at least two stories, Bobby manages to rescue the bride, but then flips out on the owner of the building, stating that it’s riddled with violations. Hen calms him down, but has a lot of concern about Bobby. Bobby heads to church to see his priest friend. He says that while his work family trusts him completely, he’s having a very hard time opening up to them. He’s given them nothing in return for their trust and loyalty. The priest tells him he just needs to start with a conversation, though Bobby tells him he never wants his friends to find out that he murdered his family. Bobby explains that five years ago, he had a wife and two children in Minnesota, but he also had a drug and alcohol addiction. The addiction leads to a strain in his marriage, as he sneaks out every night to an empty apartment to drink and take pills next to an old electric heater. One 11
9–1–1 Episode Guide night, around Christmas, he does this routine and leaves the heater on as he heads back up to his apartment, where his wife confronts him. He admits he has a problem, but assures her he will get better again. She says she’ll forgive him, but not that night, as she asks him to leave. Bobby then heads down to the empty apartment, but locked himself out. He goes up to the roof of the building and passes out, just as the heater catches fire inside the apartment. When he comes to, the building is engulfed in flames and smoke. He rushes inside, but the floor collapses outside his family’s apartment. More than 140 people died in the fire, including his family, Bobby tells the priest. He says the building was ridden with violations, but he never noticed because of his addictions. The priest says Bobby’s past is a burden he’s been carrying all by himself and he needs to open up to his friends. Bobby is worried that his friends won’t trust him, and there is no room for doubt at his job. Though the priest explains that if Bobby can’t trust his friends to know him honestly, then they aren’t really his friends. After Hen fills Athena in on how she’s worried about Bobby, she reveals that her ex, Eva, called her from prison and needs to see her. She weighs whether she should go, and she hasn’t told her wife about the situation yet. Hen later heads to the prison to see Eva, who wants to catch up. Hen won’t have it, and asks her what the emergency is. Eva explains she’s up for a parole hearing, and her lawyer thinks she has a chance to get out. She asks Hen to vouch for her during the hearing, and even asks if Hen will wear her uniform. She thinks Hen’s testimony will really help her case. Hen is obviously hesitant as she hasn’t seen Eva in over a year, she’s happily married and has moved on. Though Eva tells Hen she’s changed. Later, Hen tells her wife about the situation. Her wife is not happy, obviously, and is worried about their son if Eva is out of prison. Though Hen tells her that Eva has changed, her wife is not convinced. In her time of need, Buck comes to Abby’s rescue. Her mom is still missing, so she sends a group text of the missing person flyer, and Buck immediately calls her. He offers to come over and help, and then after they find her, they can go back to just phone conversations again. When he arrives, Carla is, of course, smitten, but Abby is just distraught. She fills him in on what radius she thinks her mother might be, and he assures her that they’ll find her, as they search mile by mile. They hop into Buck’s van, and give Athena a call to keep an eye out as she patrols. As they get to know each other, Abby confesses she hasn’t dated or slept with anyone in a year, which is shocking to Buck. The conversation is interrupted when they hear over the radio that there’s a 911 call nearby. They head to the accident scene and find a downed wire over a pool. A man who jumped in to rescue a girl on a float is unconscious, and the girl is still stuck on the float. Together, Abby and Buck rescue the child before the responders arrive. As they leave, Buck notices Abby’s hands aren’t shaking, which means she handled herself really well. They get to know each other a little more, and then get a call from Athena that her mother was found at a hospital. At the hospital, Athena says a group of men found Abby’s mom in southern Los Angeles, and she’s alright. Back at home, Buck introduces himself to Abby’s mother, though she’s very confused as to who he is. Abby walks him out and says they should go back to being phone buddies so they don’t screw up their relationship, despite the fact that Buck says he wants to sleep with her. Later that night, Buck calls Abby and gets a little frisky on the phone. At the firehouse, Hen and Bobby are weird around each other. Buck comes in all happy about Abby, but no one is having it. Luckily, they get a call about a man stuck in a car wash brush. Hen snaps at Bobby on the scene, but they manage to rescue the man. After the victim is put in the ambulance, Bobby and Hen hear Buck laughing inside the shop. They come in to find Buck and the car wash owner watching the surveillance video of the employee getting stuck in the brush. Hen starts laughing too, and at first Bobby tells them to stop, but then bursts out laughing too. Back at the truck, Hen says it’s good to hear Bobby laugh. He apologizes for not being more open with her and the team. He explains that he lost people close to him, and he fears that if he gets close to people again, he may lose them. Then he offers to cook everyone a nice meal and finally introduce the real Bobby to everyone. And Hen is happy to hear it. 12

Athena attempts to help a desperate woman and unintentionally joins the Lonely Hearts Club. Bobby and Chimney pull holiday duty and learn about the ”Casanova Fracture.” Abby and Buck go on their first official date. On a romantic private flight, a guy who just got his pilot’s license fakes an emer- gency to get his girlfriend to read his proposal in the emergency instruction book. As she realizes what’s happening, he brings the plane steady and proposes. Before she can respond, she suffers what he thinks is a heart attack and passes out. When he calls 911, Abby tells him to make an emergency landing, as the nearest airport is 15 minutes away. He lands at a golf course, and the first re- sponders arrive. They start to treat the woman for a heart attack, and then Abby calls Buck. She tells him that she spoke to the woman’s doctor and that her thy- roid medicine caused her to be scared to death, which is not a heart attack, but the signs are similar. The first responders change their treatment and the woman wakes up. She accepts her boyfriend’s proposal and then smacks him. In a miraculous recovery, Chimney is back at work. The firehouse holds a party for him, and Buck invites Abby. When she arrives, Bobby and Chimney seem jealous, while Athena and Hen make a point to introduce themselves and embarrass Buck by asking him about his Valentine’s Day plans. Reluctantly, he asks Abby out for the day, and she eagerly accepts the invitation. Bobby gives Buck some advice as he gets ready for his date, while Carla gives Abby advice. They are both nervous and excited at the same time and want to make a good first impression. 13
9–1–1 Episode Guide Buck manages to make reservations at a nice French restaurant since he knows the owner. They are both very nervous, and Buck actually chokes on a piece of bread to the point where he loses consciousness and Abby needs to perform CPR. As she continues CPR, Buck isn’t waking up and she can’t clear his airway, so she calls 911 again and asks for her dispatcher friend to walk her through an emergency tracheotomy. Though she’s nervous about the procedure, she manages to get him to wake up just as first responders arrive. At the hospital, Buck is still asleep when Bobby comes to see him. He joins Abby in watching over Buck and then takes her to get a cup of coffee. Not exactly the Valentine’s Day they all had planned, but perhaps a little rivalry will be brewing if Bobby tries to get close to Abby. Meanwhile, Athena has a crazy night of Valentine’s Day calls. First she is called to the scene of a noise disturbance. A neighbor called in the complaint after he hears screaming from an apartment. Turns out, a couple was fighting and the guy breaks up with his girlfriend, who had a very different Valentine’s Day planned. She locks him in a closet when Athena arrives. Athena takes a walk around the girl’s apartment, but doesn’t find anything suspicious, and she just thinks the girl has a broken heart. Athena offers the girl her card and says to call if she gets lonely or scared again. After Athena leaves, the girl pours herself a glass of wine, takes out a butcher knife and hacks up her ex-boyfriend Ted. On her second call, Athena is called to a 12-car pileup on the highway. There are no fatalities, but in the middle of the crash is a medical transport. The driver says he has an organ that needs to get delivered to a patient at the hospital, as she is prepped and ready for surgery. Athena tells the guy to hop in her SUV, and she proceeds to drive like a maniac to get him to the hospital. Along the way, he tells her the organ is for a 16-year-old girl. She assumes it’s a heart, but when they get there, the doctor tells her it is a kidney. Either way, Athena saved a life and she’s happy with herself. After that, Athena is called back to the crazy girl’s house. When she arrives, the girl gives Athena a box of chocolates and offers her a glass of wine. She spills the wine, so Athena goes to clean up in the bathroom, where she finds a bunch of different pills in the girl’s medicine cabinet and blood on the shower floor. She pulls her gun out and tries to find the girl. Instead, Athena stumbles upon the body of Ted, which the girl has super glued back together. The girl pulls a gun on Athena and ties her up. She tells Athena that she is going to fix Ted to make him perfect. And she’s going to do that by taking Athena’s good heart and putting it into Ted’s body. While tied up, Athena hears someone screaming from a closet, and the girl tells her that the screaming is coming from another one of Ted’s Valentine’s Day dates. Athena keeps the crazy girl talking, and just asks the girl is about to hack up Athena, there’s a knock at the door, which distracts the girl long enough for Athena to break free and knock her out. The girl at the door is Ted’s third date of the evening, and Athena briefly fills her in on the situation as she handcuffs the crazy girl and lets the locked up girl out. When Athena gets home after her long, weird day, she finds a glass of wine and cookies from her family. Just what she needed to relax. Back at the firehouse, it’s just Bobby and Chimney working from the crew. They get a call about a man who thinks he broke his back. He is whispering on the call, and when the guys arrive at the house, the couple that answers the door informs them that neither of them called 911. When the woman tells the guys that the man with her came home early to surprise her on Valentine’s Day, they realize that the victim must be the woman’s secret lover, so they walk around the perimeter of the house to find him. When they find the man, he has broken legs, as he jumped from the second floor. The man in the home comes out to see the commotion, and he knows the victim. The woman comes out too, and informs Bobby and Chimney that the victim is actually her husband who she is separated from, and the other man is her lover. She takes the ride to the hospital with her estranged husband. 14

Meanwhile, Abby helps investigate the murder of a caller, Bobby and Buck have their hands full at a yoga studio for preg- nant women and Hen’s past may become her future. After Buck gets a little girl out of a claw machine at a fair, he calls Abby to see if she’s ready for the full moon. She says she doesn’t buy into the myth, as she gets to work. The first call of the night is an older woman, Nora, who has a panic at- tack when she sees a man outside just staring at her. Hen, Athena and Chimney get to the house, but there’s no sign of a man outside. As Chimney calms the woman down, Hen realizes the woman saw the reflection of a man inside the house — as she found footprints. Athena suggests the woman stay with someone else, so she calls her daughter. Hen, Athena and Chimney head to their next call in the shady part of town. As Chimney attends to the victim, they hear screams in a nearby park. Hen and Athena check it out, and it’s a man who’s very drunk eating another man’s face. He makes his way over to them, so Athena uses her Taser on him, which doesn’t work. She shoots him twice, but he keeps walking toward them, so she fatally shoots him in the head. After the shooting, she’s put on desk duty, as is protocol, while the investigation takes place. Meanwhile, Buck and Bobby go on a call to a pregnant women’s yoga class. A woman is stuck in a pose and can’t move. As they tend to her, three women go into labor at the same time. Bobby 15
9–1–1 Episode Guide delivers one baby, the second woman delivers her own baby, as she says it’s her fourth, and the third woman needs to go to the hospital for an emergency C-section. The last call that Buck and Bobby go on is probably the grossest thing I have ever seen on television, and I watch The Walking Dead and American Horror Story. They are called to a home of a gay couple, and one man is complaining of severe cramps, to the point where he thinks a monster is inside of him. His partner tells Bobby that the man has had the pain for a week, and insists it’s just gas or an upset stomach. They get the man in the ambulance, and on the way to the hospital, he freaks out that something is crawling on his leg. When they roll him over, there is a tapeworm coming out of his buttocks. Bobby wants to wait to they get to the hospital to remove it, as he doesn’t want to touch it, but Buck goes ahead and pulls it out — all almost 7-feet of it. One of the calls that Abby gets is from a woman, Kathy, who says a man is trying to get into her house. Unfortunately, the man makes his way into the house and kills the woman, all while Abby listens. She can’t seem the shake the call, but she agrees to do her job and works with the homicide detective. After the detective listens to the call, he tells Abby that they have a suspect in custody, and it’s the woman’s ex-husband. When he leaves, Abby does a little digging and finds older 911 calls from the victim. She realizes that when her ex-husband was trying to break in, the woman was a little more calm, and would use his name. On the call where she’s killed, she’s more panicked and doesn’t use the man’s name. Abby brings her findings to the detective, and tells him she thinks they have the wrong suspect and that the killer is still out there. However, the detective doesn’t believe it. Abby does a little more digging after that, and her co-worker plays an older recording where a witness can be heard in the background. Abby calls Athena, who’s on desk duty, and asks if she can pull the police report to get the witness’s name. Turns out, the witness is actually the daughter of the first caller of the night, Nora. Abby calls Nora, also the daughter’s name, and asks how her mother is doing. Then she asks how she knows Kathy. Nora tells Abby that Kathy runs a support group for domestic violence victims, and that she helped her find a place to live where her ex wouldn’t find her. Abby quickly realizes that Kathy’s killer is also the man in Nora’s mother’s house and is Nora’s ex-husband. Sure enough, Nora looks out her window and her ex is standing in the street. He breaks into her home, but when he goes to attack her, she strikes first with a baseball bat, killing him, again, all while Abby listens in. Later that night, the detective comes to see Abby and apologizes for not believing her. Before the night even begins, Hen is at home with her wife Karen and tells her she just wants to get a good night’s sleep before the full moon. Karen has other plans in mind, but Hen brushes her off, promising to make it up to her the next night. However, during one of her calls, Hen gets a call from her ex Eva, who is out of prison. And despite the fact that Hen never vouched for her at her hearing, she still wants to see her. It’s clear that Hen is intrigued, and despite a warning from Athena, Hen heads over to Eva’s apartment and hooks up with her. After, she heads down to the beach and just cries, as she realizes what she’s done. At the end of the full moon shift, Abby relaxes at home when Buck knocks on the door. He brings over some wine, but they never get to open it, as they finally hook up. 16

Meanwhile, Bobby gets a surprising phone call from his doctor after donating at Chimney’s blood drive, and Athena confronts Michael after having a heart-to-heart with their kids. In the first call, the team arrives on the scene after a man says he’s been shot. They realize they were there a year earlier when the man’s wife hung herself. At the time, the team realized that the man beat his wife, so they weren’t surprised when he told them she had shot at him and hit the tree. Over the course of the year, the tree apparently rotted and the man needed to take it down. He decided to blow it up, so he straps explosives to hit at and fires one shot. As it falls, the bul- let that was lodged in the tree shoots right out and hits him square in the chest. He doesn’t make it. In their second call, an employee at Metro Fitness says her boss is burning up - literally. When the team arrives, they find a man burned to a crisp in a tanning bed. They try to perform CPR, as he’s still alive, but he dies too. The employee mentions that it seems what goes around comes around after what happened to Mindy, the boss’s dog. Apparently, a day earlier, the man attempted to leave his dog Mindy in his truck while he worked out. The employee broke his car window to save the dog, and he fired her. 17
9–1–1 Episode Guide The next call involves a porch pirate — a woman who steals packages off people’s porches while they aren’t home. During one incident, she trips as she makes her way down the steps. As Hen and Chimney assess her, Aethna shows up and says she knows she’s the porch pirate. Aethna tells the woman she doesn’t want to hear her lies, so eventually she admits she has an addiction to stealing packages. In the last call, a man with his family at the zoo decides to throw pine cones at a tiger to get better pictures. While he’s in the bathroom, he hears a commotion and comes out to find people running out of the zoo and then hears the tiger behind him that got out of its cage. He calls 911 and then races around the zoo trying to hide from the tiger. Eventually though, the tiger wins and tears the man apart. As the team tends to the tiger’s trainer, Hen hears the victim’s name and realizes he’s a dentist who made the news for killing a lion on a hunting trip. During a blood drive at the firehouse, Chimney asks Bobby to donate, as he’s two pints short of his goal. After telling everyone he’s basically afraid of needles, Bobby eventually gives in. A few days later, the hospital calls and says he needs to come in right away, as they found something in his blood. Freaking out, Bobby heads to see his priest. He explains that in the ledger he keeps are 148 names. They are the names of all of the victims he’s lost. He explains that he has to save 148 people before he can die. The priest realizes Bobby is talking about suicide, but Bobby explains that he needs to balance the ledger before his time is up, and he fears if his blood results come back as cancer, he won’t have a chance to do that. At the hospital, the doctor tells Bobby that he has a very rare blood type that can help preg- nant women and babies with Rhesus disease, which can be fatal. He’s in disbelief, as the doctor explains that he can sign up for a program to donate regularly and help billions of babies. Later, at the firehouse, Chimney is doing research about Bobby’s blood type and is very impressed. However, Bobby is in a bad mood. He then explains the whole 148 thing to him. He adds that even if he can help babies, they aren’t his babies. He says that God’s punishment isn’t his even- tual suicide, his punishment is having to stay alive to help other people. Chimney then takes Bobby to a hospital’s NICU where he introduces him to a little baby girl getting a blood transfusion with his blood. The child’s father wants to thank him in person, and Chimney tells Bobby that perhaps all these babies are his children, as they are a part of him. Bobby realizes that having this blood type is a blessing, not a curse. Aethna struggles to keep it together for the sake of her family. However, when Michael suggests his boyfriend meet the kids, she flips out. Eventually, she talks to the kids who tell her that her staying with their father and trying to be a big happy family is hurting them. They say they’d rather have the truth than pretending to be something they’re not. After a long shift, Aethna comes home and tells Michael she wants a divorce now before she keeps on hating him. Later, at a bar, a guy hits on Aethna, and it seems she likes her new freedom. And while Aethna’s relationship ending is probably a good thing, Hen’s relationship is in real trouble. Hen takes Aethna’s advice and works up the courage to tell her wife, Carol, that she slept with her ex Ava. However, when she gets home late, Carol tells her that Ava is suing for custody of their son, claiming Hen and Carol’s home isn’t suitable for a child. She claims the proof is because Hen slept with Ava. Carol is disgusted and leaves. At least for the night. Things aren’t looking up for Hen. I really hope she can work things out with her wife. I like her character and I want good things for her. I’m glad Aethna worked up the nerve to ask for a divorce. She realizes that in the end, it will best for everyone, specifically the children. 18

Meanwhile, Athena jumps into to the dating pool, as Buck and Abby’s relationship is tested by her ailing mother. The first call involves a homeless man who sleeps in a dumpster to get out of the rain. Unfortunately, luck is not on his side when the next morning, he wakes up to find himself getting dumped into a garbage truck. He calls 911, and the team is sent out to stop the truck driver from turning on the compactor. The first truck they stop, however, is not the right truck. Athena finds the right truck, but the com- pactor has been turned on already. The truck driver stops it, and the team climbs into the truck to rescue the man. After the call, Hen and Athena grab lunch where they chat about their per- sonal lives. Hen tells Athena about the situation with her ex suing for custody, and Athena reveals she’s getting a divorce and has already met someone, who wasn’t just a one-night stand. The second call involves a mother and her teen son leaving a therapy session. As they get into the elevator, she is berating him about getting his act together.

The team arrives, with Hen and Buck heading down the elevator shaft to pull up the victims. Buck gets the mother out of the water-filled elevator first, but as he preps the second victim, the elevator starts to fall again due to the weight of the water. Buck manages to get the second victim to safety before pulling himself out though. That night, Athena goes on her second date with the man she met at a bar.
