It looks like it’s been 84 years, however the second half of 9-1-1 Season 8 is lastly mere days away.
“Wannabes” left us with the whole lot neat and tidy concerning the primary characters and general story. The 118 was thriving, and Athena and Maddie have been additionally doing properly.
There was nothing amiss, however that’s all set to vary when the sequence returns, as evidenced by the promos, which present a possible serial killer on the unfastened, with Athena on their path and Maddie caught within the crosshairs.

However what’s occurring past that’s anybody’s guess.
What’s going to we see with Hen and her household after Mara’s return residence? Will Bobby and Athena lastly get their dream home?
What’s subsequent for Maddie and Chimney and their increasing household?
Simply what’s going to Buck and Eddie rise up to when the present returns?
We don’t know the solutions to that, however we do know what we want to see in an ideal world, so indulge us as we sit up for what we’d wish to see from the again half of this season.
Bathena Discover Their Dream House & Throw One Hell of a Housewarming Bash
Bobby and Athena’s residence search has felt neverending, although it actually solely began throughout 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 1.
We’ve seen them tour a home after which choose to construct, however there hasn’t been a lot ahead progress past that, and we’re as bored with the uninteresting house they’re caught in as they have to be.
Now could be the time to get Bobby and Athena into a spot that they each really feel snug in, and that displays them each.
This shall be their ceaselessly residence, and it’s a giant deal for the pair, in order that ought to be handled as such.
As soon as the pair discover their residence, they need to throw the most important housewarming celebration they will and invite everybody.
Harry and Might have to return to the narrative, however their look ought to be simply the tip of the iceberg.
We want a who’s who of 9-1-1 characters, with the same old suspects (the 118 and their households) in tow, however we also needs to usher in Elaine, Romero, and among the dispatchers.
Do Josh and Sue know Bobby and Athena properly sufficient to be invited into their residence? Does it matter?
Use the home as an excuse to have a bunch of 9-1-1 characters in the identical location for the primary time and see what sort of enjoyable may ensue.
We not often get the large scenes between the entire solid, and what higher event than to have so many characters who’ve contributed to 9-1-1 in a single central location celebrating Bathena, the primary couple of 9-1-1?
Hen and Karen have endured a lot collectively as a pair; their household has additionally been put by way of the wringer.
Throughout 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 5, we nearly misplaced Denny, and since then, we haven’t seen a lot of the Wilson household, one thing that have to be rectified because the season continues.
Whereas 9-1-1 is a present that lives in drama and chaos, in addition they know the best way to lean into the enjoyable and the foolish, and that’s what they should do with the Wilsons.
Sooner or later (hopefully within the distant future), they are going to be thrust again into one thing catastrophic as a result of that’s the character of the sequence.
Nevertheless, contemplating they’ve barely had moments of peace in a while, allow them to interact in some enjoyable hijinks.
How about having Denny and Mara interact in a prank warfare at residence that spills over to their mother and father?
We may see Hen and Karen desperately making an attempt to one-up their kids, finally leaving their home a multitude, however with the 4 crying with laughter, questioning how they’d get the flour out of the cushions.
Or Denny and Mara may have somewhat harmless sibling rivalry over one thing, with Hen and Karen instructing us the misplaced artwork of compromise and the way vital your siblings are, particularly throughout youth.
They’ve choices to maintain issues gentle and unfastened earlier than the subsequent massive bomb is hurtled at their household.
The Wilsons are greater than deserving of some happier occasions.
Madney Having fun with One One other
When Maddie and Chimney have been final anticipating, it was smack dab in the midst of the pandemic, which meant they have been aside for a few of it and had varied different obstacles to beat.
The factor about your second being pregnant is that you just now have a template from earlier than about what labored and what didn’t work (although no being pregnant is ever precisely the identical!).
For Maddie and Chimney, figuring out they’re going to begin the second half of the season in peril due to these artful promotional teasers, as soon as Maddie is discovered and safely returned residence (which MUST occur!), it’s time to allow them to get pleasure from the remainder of their being pregnant in a stress-free method.
Nicely, as stress-free as 9-1-1 tends to make issues.
Their conversations throughout 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 6 will seemingly proceed.
Let’s preserve them speaking and on the identical web page to allow them to navigate the whole lot collectively because the united entrance they’ve labored so laborious to attain.
Hopefully, they may get pleasure from one another, Jee, and the joy surrounding their being pregnant, and we are going to see that play out.
Let Madney get pleasure from each little factor about this thrilling time.
Buck Continues to Discover & Develop
Assuming Maddie will get kidnapped and Eddie leaves for Texas, that shall be an terrible one-two punch for Buck.
Buck’s season 8 up to now has consisted of coping with horrendous Gerrard at work and getting dumped by Tommy, and it looks like issues are about to get quite a bit worse earlier than they get any higher.
It’s by no means clear what Buck’s gameplan is within the wake of the whole lot he went by way of and is poised to undergo when the sequence returns, however Buck’s been put by way of quite a bit, and it might be a wonderful time for him to have a little bit of a reset.
If Eddie does depart Los Angeles, that can seemingly faucet into Buck’s deep-seated abandonment points, and it might be time to discover that additional and have a few of these powerful conversations with Eddie and others he trusts.
Maybe Buck will get a passion after the whole lot and expands his social community, channeling his love for baking into one thing optimistic and never only a distraction from his most up-to-date breakup.
After we chatted with Oliver Stark about 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 5, when requested about which character from Buck’s previous he’d wish to see return, he instructed us, “I like the thought of Buck placing himself in queer areas ’trigger we’ve probably not seen that of him but.”
“So, I don’t know, perhaps he’s in a homosexual membership or one thing.”
“And with somebody like a Lucy Donato or one thing, like an ex-partner who’s now there to assist shepherd him and increase his confidence. Yeah, I’d like to see perhaps one thing like that.”
Now can be a good time to see Buck in these areas and to see him proceed to develop.
Eddie Takes Texas
Look, we don’t imagine that Eddie shall be leaving 9-1-1, however leaving Los Angeles for Texas is a secure wager as a result of it is smart at this stage of Eddie’s story.
Eddie has given Christopher area and tried to do proper by his son, however he’s additionally reached a degree, as seen in 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 8, the place he determined he may not sit by and watch his son develop up by way of a display.
Eddie has punished himself and denied himself pleasure, however he’s lastly beginning to come out the opposite aspect of that, and shifting to Texas looks like the subsequent step on his journey to restore what he feels is damaged in his life.
The pressure between himself and Christopher has been devastating for him, and his willingness to do no matter it takes to bridge that hole and work on the 2 of them is on the forefront of his thoughts, accurately.
The start of the season didn’t dive too closely into the father-son battle, but when Eddie strikes to Texas, they’ve on a regular basis on the earth that makes that storyline a precedence, because it ought to have been all alongside.
Alright, people, 9-1-1 is SO near returning!
