Earlier than I get began with this evaluate, let me simply notice that I nonetheless don’t like how they determined to write down Grace’s character off, nevertheless, I can’t let that distract me from the remainder of this season (or possibly I’ll, let’s see).
Final night time’s episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star began off candy however ended, nicely, with literal catastrophe. Tommy, Trevor, and the ladies are doing a TikTok dance and the household vibe introduced the largest smile to my face. Even when the adults had been messing up, it made me really feel cozy inside realizing how this unit first started; they’ve come a good distance. The ladies, embarrassed by the dearth of coordination, depart whereas Tommy and Trevor attempt to be taught the strikes once more. It actually felt like a household second. A lot so, Tommy, whereas within the second, decides to suggest to Trevor (I cringed, however that’s simply the old fashioned in me) and he says sure. What?! I beloved this for them till Trevor stated there was one situation.

Earlier than we even know what this situation is, we all know it could’t be all that good with the way in which Tommy is appearing; overindulging on donuts that Carlos introduced in (I’m sorry, I’m nonetheless scuffling with him being a Ranger and never a Detective, however I’ll save that for one more day), and whereas on a name the place somebody put a harmonica of their mouth, and yeah T.Okay. and Nancy might inform. After they confronted her, she advised them how she proposed to Trevor and he stated sure however on the situation that she be vetted by Trevor’s ex-wife, Cassandra. I get it – that will make me attain for donuts too, Tommy. We additionally discover out that this situation is a part of their divorce settlement; Trevor would be capable to transfer to Texas with Melody provided that when the time got here for him to remarry, she must vet the lady who can be in her daughter’s life. Now, to me, that’s giving somebody method an excessive amount of energy over your future happiness. Nonetheless, for the sake of realizing who shall be round her daughter, it is smart for them to fulfill.

Wyatt stops by the station to have a dialog with Owen about getting Judd his job again. Grace being on the opposite aspect of the world (which makes zero sense and is so out of character – however let’s put a pin on this for now), Judd is struggling and has even determined to try to take up a trucking job. Wyatt offers his finest effort, however it isn’t working. Owen takes into consideration how nice of a Lieutenant Judd was, however tells Wyatt that others, like Paul and Marjan who can be an ideal match for the place, and it wouldn’t be honest to only give it again to Judd.
Judd is torn; it seems like this truck job is pretty much as good as his, however provided that he can do longer hauls. He thought he’d be capable to keep on with shorter hauls in order that he’d be dwelling with Charlie and longer hauls would make {that a} problem. Going again to the 126 is not an possibility, and he’s unable to succeed in Grace to get her ideas (which is sickening, however I digress); he may have to think about different plans to make this work.

Talking of the Lieutenant place, Owen is discovering it laborious to choose between Marjan and Paul for the place and he enlists the assistance of Mateo. Mateo helps him determine how he’s going to deal with this – he calls Marjan and Paul within the workplace and tells them their AFD examination rating would be the deciding issue, however humorous sufficient when he seems at their scores, it was precisely the identical – again to the drafting board then.
The prepare derailment lastly occurs – right here we go.
It’s a blended cargo prepare and there’s no telling what they’re coping with earlier than the manifest arrives. Marjan and Paul are actually taking command of this scene (Can there be two Lieutenants?). The manifest is secured; this prepare was carrying a number of mundane gadgets – nevertheless, the vehicles carrying pesticides, chlorine fuel, and poisonous waste might undoubtedly turn into an issue. The principle concern, although, is the automobile carrying 28,000 gallons of propane. The staff must maintain that automobile cool or else…

Mateo made a powerful save of a civilian trapped in a automobile. Proper earlier than his automobile was hit by the prepare, he made a promise to his daughter that he wouldn’t miss any extra of her recitals and I’d’ve been so upset if he didn’t make it. Due to Mateo, he doesn’t have to interrupt that promise.
All is seemingly going nicely when swiftly the firefighters lose water. The availability line busted and all water strains are lifeless; there’s nothing left to do now. It’s not about containing that prepare automobile – it’s time to run. If there ever was a time to maintain me on this present it was the final couple of minutes of this episode. I didn’t even notice after I began to carry my breath, however man was that intense. Marjan calls out, instructing everybody to fall again (which felt like a callback to the sequence premiere) and as she’s operating, nonetheless too near the burning prepare automobile, BOOM! Main explosion after which the credit roll.
That was loads and it’s not even over. What’d you consider final night time’s episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star? Share your ideas under or join with me on X/Twitter @chenfordhugs.
