Home Invasion is setting us up for some HenRen drama. The episode itself isn’t overly stressful until the very end but it leaves you feeling a bit concerned with a few questions. The episode bounces around a bit between stories, Hen, Hoover, and Maddie. Some of the calls this time connect back to Mddie’s story, or at least the home invasion calls do. Hen is preparing for her big practical exam, Karen is doing everything she can to make things easier at home. Maddie and Chim finally picked a nanny and have to deal with the consequences. And then we have Hoover being bounced around different homes as he works on finding his forever home.  

Animal Instincts comes in with humorous and not too serious calls on top of some dramatic decisions being made by many of our 118.  While the episode kept me on my toes I can’t say I'm happy with the direction of some of the story, but more on that as we go.

The Devil You Know is solely focused on Athena and Bobby in Florida investigating Tanya’s murder but it is by no means a subpar episode. Despite the lack of our other 9-1-1 characters this is a really strong episode. We have drama, suspense, and a debate on who-dun-it. Not to mention great acting all around.

We may not have had a two-part episode huge disaster but this season is bringing the character drama and we are only two episodes in. Crash and Learn gave us excellent performances from our 118, particularly with Hen, Athena, and Bobby. Episode two gives us a very Hen centered episode as we see her attempt to balance being interim captain on top of being a paramedic and continuing going to medical school. It’s an emotional roller coaster of an episode, and not just with Hen. 

The season six premiere. I was unsure how this season was going to start us off, what kind of feeling they were going to set us up for, and I have to say I wasn’t quite expecting what we got. Normally our 9-1-1 premieres have a huge disaster that spans a couple of episodes. Season six changed that up. We had a large emergency but not a disaster.

For a premiere I wasn’t disappointed. We have some fun character arcs being built up to, we had a blimp crash, and Athena got to perform an emergency heart transplant (sort of). Bobby sports some great vacation-wear. And they end the episode on a decent cliffhanger.  

And a great Buck, Eddie, Chris dinner scene that was almost too adorable.
