Truth. Buck is a world-class idiot. That is his whole character. It has led to some interesting story lines, but I don't see him ever growing up. And as for his ambition to be a captain, he is SO not suited for the role. Everyone loves Buck because he has a good heart, but he also has no impulse control. I've accepted that that's the character, but IRL, I'd stay far away from him! ;-)

Marisol had bought her own house and her idiot brother was doing insulation in the attic and got trapped there. The 118 came to help them out and after destroying her ceiling they all came back and helped fix it.

I think Jessie Tyler Ferguson loved playing a baddie! And since the show shoots in NYC, I look forward to a lot of cool guest murderers. Also, if they are going to repeat detectives, I hope they bring Molly Price back. I've loved her since Third Watch.

As Tommy and Buck were having their conversation, I said out loud: oh, just go ahead and kiss him! And then Tommy did. Buck reacted like Buck: just went with it, with no thought of what might happen next.

Or the heartwarming return of the shark whose life they saved!

When they found the mom stuck in the door, and Bobby grabbed an ax, I thought he was going to hand it to Athena and say: you've done a field amputation before... But seriously, never a dull moment, including the "who cares" team flying to the rescue! Like he did with the "proud Aspie" in the "bus through the skyscraper" episode. See, I pay attention!

Well, just like Abbott Elementary has "cruise ship Barbara," 911 has "cruise ship Athena." So of course she travels with a knife and zip ties. And since she's in international waters, she can play fast and loose with her perps. ;-)

Krause completely nailed that moment, and it was totally believable. Bobby has come a long way, but he will always blame himself for his family's death. And saying that he didn't deserve Athena, what a sad thing to say.

I need a gif of Ava posterizing the first grader NOW! I laughed out loud and so hard.

There's got to be a morning after ..

I love how the show went full "Poseidon Adventure," in the last few minutes. This is the crazy, whimsical 9-1-1 at its best. And when the big wave came, I paraphrased Bobby's thoughts as ANOTHER goddam tsunami? Seriously? As for Hen's actions, she behaved completely professionally, and even if they had examined the drunk driver and suspected a brain bleed, there wasn't anything they could do. Karen proved to be a wise counselor. As far as getting someone to pay attention to a missing cruise ship, doesn't the US have, I don't know, a Navy? They certainly have CIS in every port. Or, you know, the Coast Guard?

I give Delilah a slight break because her heart is i the right place. But I think her military ambitions are not realistic. Didn't we learn that her mom HAD to go in the Army (as in enlist or go to jail)? As for the snarky bullies, I was expecting D to say something like:yeah, it's been a minute since one of my best friends was killed right in front of me and I was held hostage in an attempted robbery. Frankly, I was hoping Harry would f*ck up their lives via social media. But I'm petty that way. Just don't let Delilah become a venture capitalist! ;-)

Yes, a "go to" Irish guy! ;-)

Well, it seems like Harry's Secret Hideout is the same one Mr. Finch used in PoI!

Janine is coming into her own at the District. She's doing the kind of work she's long wanted to do improving her school, and even dressing like a grownup. My sister is a school librarian (sorry, media specialist) with Masters' in library science AND early childhood education. She was laid off from her job at one school so they could hire an assistant to the principal (shades of Ava!) However, she has a strong union and was able to work at another school in the district. Also...a friend of mine is a retired Philly librarian, and has written a lovely novel called "The New Town Librarian." It's a good read. And as a native Philadelphian, it's WOODER ice. ;-)
