Firetrucks with their sirens blaring whizzing by whereas watching the sequence finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star may appear too excellent. However, then once more, so was the sequence finale of the Fox sequence.
The season 5 ender picked up proper the place the penultimate episode left off, with the solid bracing for impression as a large asteroid barrelled in direction of Austin, Texas. It hit alright, however, for the sake of what was proven within the episode, with minimal casualties.
It did, nonetheless, trigger some harm to a nuclear reactor at an area college. So as soon as Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) was in a position to attain the 9-1-1 name heart — cell towers had been down they usually had been performing on a generator however no service — and listen to in regards to the attainable fallout, he and the 126 headed in direction of the college.
And so they had considered one of their finest medics alongside for the experience! Tommy Vega (Gina Torres) did not really die on the finish of the final episode, and the asteroid’s arrival woke her up. Regardless of her deadly most cancers prognosis, “I can stand, and if I can stand, I can assist,” she advised the ghost of her lifeless husband Charles (Derek Webster).
When the staff arrived on the college that they had 10 minutes till “whole meltdown” however first wanted to search out Dr. Chalmers, who knew the place the “scram button” was to close down the nuclear reactor. Ultimately, they discover him almost unconscious on the ground in a hallway with a mind bleed. It appeared like there was nothing the staff might do; the person wanted an O.R.
However Tommy will not hand over that simply, and she or he had nothing to lose. She requested Mateo Chavez (Julian Works) carry her a drill. Nancy Gillian (Brianna Baker) reminded her that performing a craniotomy is against the law and “if, no when this man dies” Tommy could be charged with manslaughter. Tommy was unphased: A manslaughter cost positive beats a nuclear explosion, and Tommy’s well being was fading quick.
The staff managed to get the directions from the professor and make their option to the nuclear reactor. Time was ticking by, and the reactor — together with all the pieces close to it — was heating up. When Strand, Mateo, Judd Ryder (Jim Parrack), Marjan Marwani (Natacha Karam) and Paul Strickland (Brian Michael Smith) reached the realm, an explosion despatched them falling a number of tales and badly injured.
With solely three minutes to go, Strand reminded the staff, “Keep in mind your coaching, the best way to compress every others wounds. No person bleeds out!” as he crawled his method in direction of the management room and the scram button.
Time was ticking by and the staff was struggling. “I do not know the way for much longer I can go,” Mateo mentioned. Judd wasn’t having it: “Hey, do not y’all do this. Do not do this. C’mon. C’mon. 126, let’s dig deep. Do it for the folks that you simply love, and I do not imply exterior this room. I am speaking in regards to the folks that you simply love inside this room, proper right here and now, OK? I really like each considered one of y’all such as you’re my very own brothers and sisters. I really like you greater than I really like my very own brothers. Now hold on. C’mon.”
After “I really like yous” throughout, Marjan declared “126 without end.”
And with 10 seconds to go, Strand made it to the button, and heroically hit it with lower than a second to go. Paramedics rushed in to assist the critically injured members of the 126, and the person that discovered Strand appeared devastated as he took the captain’s pulse.
However he was high-quality! After all he was high-quality! Proper?
Properly, with a five-month time bounce and some check-ins with characters, they had been definitely speaking about Strand like he was gone. However, as was already going to be the case pre-asteroid, he was gone… from Austin. He’d taken the job of Chief of Police again in New York Metropolis.
Which meant there have been nonetheless a couple of free ends to tie up — they usually all positive made a stunning bow.
Tommy’s tumors turned out to be swollen whereas they had been shrinking, and she or he’s now formally in remission and heading again to work. Marjan is pregnant along with her first child with new husband Joe, and Paul is thrilled for them. Mateo appeared in court docket for his assault cost which was presumably going to get him deported — however his heroics and a Strand-inspired speech led her to fast-track his citizenship.
TK Strand (Ronan Rubenstein) is not working on the 126, which meant he and Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) had been in a position to undertake TK’s half-brother Jonah. Judd was named the brand new Captain of the 126, and his daughter visited the firehouse to see him step into the job. She even requested in regards to the images of all the lads on the wall, all of Judd’s fallen comrades from the catastrophe within the sequence premiere.
Within the last moments of the sequence, Strand sits in a gorgeous, brick-walled workplace and appears at his helmets from Austin and his firehouse throughout Sept. 11. After which it is again to work for him: There are various extra disasters and lots of extra residents to rescue.
