The 118 goes to wish a brand new captain when 9-1-1 Season 9 begins. Close to the top of Season 8, their beloved captain, Bobby (Peter Krause), died after being contaminated with a brilliant pressure of CCHF (Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever) for which they solely had one anti-viral, which he gave to Chimney (Kenneth Choi). Hen (Aisha Hinds) was supplied the job, however she turned it down. And within the Season 8 finale, Chimney actually acted like a captain.
Buck (Oliver Stark) has wished the job prior to now — when there wanted to be an interim captain with Bobby on trip — however he’s not prepared for that simply but. Nonetheless, when TV Insider just lately spoke with Oliver Stark about Buck’s future, we requested him what sort of captain he thinks his character will probably be finally.
“I feel the factor that he would battle with probably the most being captain will not be being the one which does the cool stuff, proper? As captain, you’re not essentially the one which’s meant to do the rope rescue or working first to the fireplace, and I feel we’ve seen that that could be very a lot Buck’s nature,” he defined. (Watch Stark speak in regards to the Season 8 finale rescue and lament what he didn’t get to do right here.) “So I see some difficulties if he ever went down that route in that sense.”
He continued, “However by way of a frontrunner, I might assume he’s very a lot in type of the identical vein as Bobby as a result of that’s who he’s realized a lot from. So, caring, listening, authoritative when wanted. So yeah, if he ever will get there, I feel that’s what we might count on.”
After the 118 labored collectively to save lots of victims (and one another) from a constructing collapse, everybody returns to the station. There, Chimney determined that nobody was leaving, which means Buck wasn’t transferring and Eddie (Ryan Guzman) was shifting again to Los Angeles from Texas.
“That is our firehouse. That is the 118. And it’s not only a quantity, it’s us. And also you’re proper, Buck. Issues are by no means going to be the identical once more as a result of Cap is gone. However leaving gained’t change that. It gained’t make you’re feeling any much less unhappy. It simply implies that you’ll be unhappy on their lonesome. Bobby died so I might stay, and it has screwed me up in methods I can’t absolutely categorical, however the fact is, he would have executed that for any considered one of us,” Chimney stated.
“He knew that simply coming into work day by day, there’s an opportunity that a number of of us wouldn’t make it dwelling, and his job above every little thing else was to be sure that we did. And we’re all standing right here proper now due to him. This staff, we’re his legacy. So we will miss him, and we will mourn him, and we will even curse his identify, however we aren’t going to disrespect him by throwing away what he constructed proper right here. So that you cling up your turnouts, you hit the showers, you go dwelling, and also you get some relaxation as a result of we’re all going to see one another on our subsequent shift, proper right here, collectively. Understood?”
Hen instantly responded with, “Copy that, Cap, I imply, Chim.”
