Spoiler alert! This discusses facets of each the 9-1-1 Season 8 and Physician Odyssey Season 1 finales, which aired on Could 15. The collection may be streamed with a Hulu subscription.
Ryan Murphy’s takeover of ABC’s Thursday nights got here to an finish (at the least briefly) this week when the season finales of each 9-1-1 and Physician Odyssey aired on the 2025 TV schedule. It ended up being a fairly irritating night for some followers of each reveals, as sure romantic storylines didn’t pan out. I completely really feel their ache, too, however I can’t assist however be amused with among the reactions and one weird parallel between the 2 episodes.
Followers of 9-1-1 have been ready for Buck and Eddie’s “friends-to-lovers” trope to achieve that closing stage for a extremely very long time, whereas over on Physician Odyssey, individuals bought actually into the love triangle between Max, Avery and Tristan. It appears viewers had been anticipating — or at the least hoping — for one thing to return of those storylines, however they had been in the end left unhappy. One particular person stated on social media:
so no BUDDIE canon and no Bobby alive on 9-1-1 and now no throuple on Physician Odyssey. What’s the purpose of something anymore??? 😭 #911onABC #DoctorOdyssey pic.twitter.com/6AsFuWJxUiCould 16, 2025
As referenced above, 9-1-1’s finale “Seismic Shifts” continued its farewell to Peter Krause’s Bobby Nash, however the story was severely missing for “Buddie” shippers who hoped Buck may admit his emotions for Eddie. As one fan put it:
Yeah, you’ll be able to say that once more #Buddie #911onABC pic.twitter.com/uCV8bD3TssCould 16, 2025
Eddie (Ryan Guzman) did determine to not transfer to Texas, which had Buck (Oliver Stark) looking for a brand new residence with “character,” however followers must wait till Season 9 to see if Ryan Murphy makes “Buddie” canon.
In the meantime over on Physician Odyssey’s “The Wave, Half 2,” Avery (Phillipa Soo) discovered Max (Joshua Jackson) after he was left stranded following an earthquake/tidal wave/aftershock. She admitted that she was additionally in love with him, and the 2 determined they may make a relationship work, though she was leaving for med college. So, we’re simply kicking Tristan (Sean Teale) out of the trio? Yeah, your viewers will not be OK with this. See?
no buddie no ody3 i’m totally upset at present xxxx #911onABC #DoctorOdyssey pic.twitter.com/NHYKSVfk1WCould 16, 2025
Many had been calling out the creator of each collection, Ryan Murphy, straight for a way he left his fandoms in shambles Thursday, with one posting:
Pricey Ryan Murphy on behalf of all 911 and Physician Odyssey followers we are saying. #911onABC #DoctorOdyssey pic.twitter.com/71kvruEqQ6Could 16, 2025
In addition to each reveals coming from the inventive mind of Ryan Murphy, there was one different foolish coincidence that I couldn’t assist however discover. We could not have gotten romance between the characters we needed, however we did get an excellent manly man fistbump. It occurred on 9-1-1:
The buddie fist bump was one of many solely good issues this episode pic.twitter.com/dol82ZMOWVCould 16, 2025
And it additionally occurred on Physician Odyssey, as Max checked in with Tristan to apologize for breaking “bro code” in his pursuit of Avery. As one viewer so succinctly put it:
when they need to have their tongues down eachothers throat is loopy🤷♂️🤷♂️ #DoctorOdyssey pic.twitter.com/Ktx8YvOQ3OCould 16, 2025
OK, actually did I miss one thing with the fistbumps? How did we get two virtually inside an hour of one another between characters who many would like to see being far more emotionally obtainable with one another. This feels loopy to me.
Fortunately for 9-1-1 followers, we already know the primary responder drama is returning for a ninth season this fall, so hope stays that Buddie’s shoutout on Pop Tradition Jeopardy! wasn’t their excessive level. Physician Odyssey followers aren’t so lucky, because the destiny of Joshua Jackson’s medical present stays unknown.
