(Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for the 9-1-1 Season 7 premiere “Abandon ‘Ships”).
Listen, if there’s one ship we’re not willing to abandon, it’s Athena (Angela Bassett) and Bobby (Peter Krause), even though they have some things to figure out going forward. 9-1-1 premiere. Fortunately, everything is fine for Hen (Aisha Hinds) and Karen (Tracie Thoms), as well as Chimney (Kenneth Choi) and Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), although it takes several people to tell them! all attached to love interests Buck (Oliver Stark) and Eddie (Ryan Guzman), which is a good thing in one case.
At the beginning of the premiere, Buck tries to make plans with Eddie for the weekend, but the other man is busy accompanying him to Marisol (Edy Ganem), his son Christopher’s (Gavin McHugh) first date. When Eddie suggests inviting Natalia (Annelise Cepero), Buck reveals, “We broke up. “I don’t know why I thought it was such a good idea to date a death doula.” As Eddie points out, “to be fair, you had just died.” But that was the problem, Buck explains: “That was all she ever wanted to talk about: death, death, death. It got a little boring, to be honest with you.” (We kind of saw it coming, given how they met and their first date.) Eddie then welcomes Buck “back to the world of the living” and tells him, “we miss you.”
In season 7, “in his personal life, (Buck) is just open to doing the things that make him happy, finding what he wants to be and the things that make him feel good and pursuing them in a way that doesn’t entail no shame,” Stark tells TV Insider. “And he will look for things that make him feel good.”
The breakup with Natalia “is part of Buck’s reinvention, I think, that he’s moving forward and letting go of all the things we’ve previously seen from his life,” Stark explains. “He’s starting to leave them behind and become a new him.”
So could that mean you choose your own couch? He was without one for some time after his previous ones came up with (ex) girlfriends, then in the Season 6 finale, he asked Natalia to help him get one. “I’ve shot a lot in my apartment this year, and I haven’t shot on the couch yet, and I don’t think I’ve even looked in that direction of the set,” Stark admits with a laugh. “I don’t know what couch is there. “I think it’s probably the same one.”

Meanwhile, Athena and Bobby are on a cruise ship on their honeymoon (the trouble has just begun there, with the kidnappers boarding at the end of the premiere) and from the beginning, she’s not on board. she has seen Poseidon’s adventure, he explains to Frank (Eddie McGee) during a therapy session. (Shelley Winters was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at that year’s Oscars, she notes. Did she win? “No, she didn’t,” Athena says, clearly still upset, as are we about Bassett’s loss at the Oscars.) .
But then she admits that even though she loves her husband, their life together is a whirlwind, but if you take that away, the chaos, she’s not sure what’s left. Who are they when it’s just the two of them? And so, while Athena may not be a fan of Norman (Daniel Roebuck) and Lola (Romy Rosemont), when it turns out that the couple from season 2’s “Buck, Actually” are back together after she was arrested for Blinking in the morning highway traffic to get him to see her, he’s on the boat, she eagerly agrees to join them for a drink. Bobby realizes that Athena is trying to avoid him, but soon both they’re stuck on whether Norman killed his wife (she was kidnapped by those who, armed, board the ship at the end).
Elsewhere, Chimney, seeing how absolutely miserable a couple is during a call, decides that he and his fiancée Maddie should make a change. His conversation on the topic highlights what makes them so good together. “I saw a future that I never wanted to have, a couple that has been together for 35 years,” he begins. “It sounds like you’re not proposing,” he comments. Not him, he assures her, but rather, according to him, they became “complacent” and “calcified.” “I mean, they must have been in love once, right?” he asks. “You might think,” she agrees.
So to make sure that doesn’t suit them, he thinks they should start dating, not with other people, but with each other. He wants the “honeymoon life.” And it’s sweet, but it’s easy to see that this won’t last. And it is not like that. After another call teaches Chimney not to force things, she decides that he and Maddie don’t need to date. Rather, they have a wedding to plan… and now a hot tub in the back.
“I don’t think” they should worry about becoming complacent, Choi agrees with us, “but Chimney will always worry. The fireplace is just a ball of nerves and anxiety. She hears something on a call and points him in a direction. Hey something else. She’s like a lost puppy, which I think is part of her charm. But for me, as a viewer, sometimes I just want to shake him and slap him and say, ‘Calm down.’ Just relax.’ But that’s part of the charm of him: she wants everything to be as perfect as possible, which usually makes things worse.”
Finally, it turns out that Christopher has been talking to five different girls in his class. Eddie brings Buck to help, and he’s the other firefighter who Christopher opens up to a little. According to him, they will all end up leaving, like his mother did, even before she died. It’s heartbreaking to see Eddie listening to this. But thanks to the letter that Eddie gives Christopher and that Shannon (Devin Kelley) left him (we see her reading it), it seems that things are looking up, with Chris putting up the framed photo of the mother and son he had had. face down on his desk.
