Spoilers forward for the autumn finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5, referred to as “Fall from Grace.”
9-1-1: Lone Star wrapped its run within the fall 2024 TV schedule with an episode that I totally anticipated to be principally about how Judd is de facto doing with out his spouse, simply based mostly on the title. As an alternative, Carlos proved who actually killed his dad – and it wasn’t Campbell – and acquired the closure he wanted to be prepared for fatherhood with T.Okay.. For his, Owen was given the chance of a lifetime: return to New York to turn into Chief of the entire NYFD. He in the end determined to remain in Texas to assist Judd, which could be very candy… however presumably regrettable, contemplating the approaching “finish of days vibes” within the 2025 TV schedule.
If there was any query of if Lone Star would go massive for the top of its closing season, I feel the promo for the episodes that may start airing in January is proof that the Fox present will exit with a bang moderately than a whimper! Have a look:
Watch On
It is nearly exhausting to imagine that 9-1-1: Lone Star went for an asteroid plot to finish Season 5 when the present hadn’t even been cancelled till manufacturing wrapped, in line with government producer Rashad Raisani. An asteroid that might turn into a “statewide extinction occasion” actually appears like a disaster that might be saved for a sequence finale, though I acquired amusing out of imagining asteroid destruction being restricted to the state borders of Texas. That might be good for Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and all the opposite place bordering the Lone Star State!
In all seriousness, I am questioning if the asteroid will likely be a disaster that spans each episode that is left of the sequence. Season 5 solely has three installments left earlier than the ultimate credit roll after the autumn finale; provided that the fifth season opened with a trainwreck three-parter, I may actually see an asteroid warranting three episodes and ending the sequence epically. (You will discover that opening three-parter streaming with a Hulu subscription now.)
Dedicating the final three episodes to an asteroid emergency may additionally clarify why 9-1-1: Lone Star tied off a few of its unfastened ends in “Fall from Grace,” significantly in terms of Carlos. Evidently the storyline of his father’s homicide has ended, and he even made up his thoughts about adopting T.Okay.’s brother with him as their very own. I additionally thought that the present may drag out Owen’s choice about whether or not or to not go to the NYFD, and even have him determine to go however simply not depart earlier than the top of the final three episodes.
As an alternative, Owen’s simply not going as of the top of this episode, and he is even serving to Judd to cope with his points with Grace nonetheless gone. Whereas the lieutenant-turned-probie emphatically advised Owen that he is pleased with his spouse, the various empty liquor bottles again at his home proved that he is been hiding simply how badly he is been doing with out Grace. Based mostly on the promo, it seems like there will likely be time for a bit extra of Judd’s story between the asteroid-related twists.
All of this stated, Owen would not essentially be in imminent hazard if he’d simply taken the NYFD job and left Texas, so I am curious to see if anyone will touch upon it. Judd was the one particular person Owen advised. We’ll have to attend and see if this asteroid drawback will result in a three-parter. 9-1-1: Lone Star will return for the primary of its closing three episodes on Monday, January 20 at 8 p.m. ET forward of the winter premiere of Rescue: HI-Surf following its harmful fall finale again in November.
