6 episodes later, 9-1-1 is doing the best that it can to find its footing again after the show-changing loss in season 8. For the most part, season 9 has been a mixed bag in terms of quality. The 4-part premiere felt way stretched out, although ABC made amends in arguably one of the most creative outings of the show in recent years with “Día de los Muertos”. Somehow, the 9-1-1 season 9 fall finale is a perfect representation of the overall state of the show.
To say that a lot happens in 9-1-1 season 9, episode 6 is an understatement — and it’s not just in the show’s usual tendency to include several cases in an hour. Aside from the multiple calls, which include people losing fingers during a family gathering and a woman dying in a medical spa, the outing also incorporates a few big developments for its characters.
Athena revisits Mae’s bullying story after a call, Chim makes a big decision to finally take over Bobby’s spot, Harry teams up with Buck to get into the fire academy, and finally, Hen goes through what appears to be a major health scare. All of these storylines happen in tandem with the 118’s usual shift, and while it gets a little convoluted at times, it allows for many poignant character moments.
Speaking of Angela Bassett’s character, Athena having two separate heartfelt moments with her kids is also terrific. This is particularly important, considering how she pretty much wrote off her kids during ger daring space walk in the 9-1-1 season 9 premiere. It is odd, however, that even after her heroics during the ill-fated galactic trip, she didn’t even get any kind of commendation.
It’s too early to say if any of these new plots will result in something compelling or if they will be enough to usher

It’s going to be a week jam-packed with suspense on The Bold and the Beautiful
. With Luna back on the loose, many characters are scared for their lives as the police search for the escaped convict. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s ahead for November 17-21.
Key Takeaways
Luna (Lisa Yamada) was right when she said she wouldn’t be in prison long. The young villainess makes her escape via the prison’s laundry cart. As Luna embarks on her freedom, it doesn’t take long before the guards realize she’s missing. With Luna on the run, the news quickly spread across town. Katie (Heather Tom) returns home expecting a romantic evening with Bill (Don Diamont), but he delivers bad news. “Don’t say it,” Katie says when she notices Bill’s panicked expression. When Bill tells her that Luna escaped, Katie’s first thought goes to their son Will (Crew Morrow).
Luna’s first stop upon her escape is to see Will. The Spencer heir and his girlfriend Electra (Laneya Grace) recently moved into the beach house, which was the scene of Luna’s last crime. Luna’s attempt to talk to Will is thwarted when the police arrive, and she runs off. Will tries to follow her but is stopped by Lt. Baker (Dan Martin). Baker reminds Will that he’s Luna’s target and he needs to stay at the house. Although Will wants to be a hero, this is one time where he may want to stay out of the police’s business.
Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) stops by the beach house to comfort a frightened Electra and Will. The group’s moment is then interrupted when Poppy (Romy Park), Sheila (Kimberlin Brown), and Li (Naomi Matsuda) barge in. “Where is the little b—-?” Poppy asks about her daughter. Needless to say, Poppy is angry with Luna about her latest stunt. As for Li and Sheila, they’ll be angry, but also worried about Luna. They know the best thing is for Luna to go back to prison, which is why they assist in the search.
With the police hot on her trail, Luna hides in the woods. But she becomes nervous as the cops and Li near her hiding spot. Li calls out for Luna to come out and do the right thing by turning herself in. However, a frightened Luna takes off, and things look gloomy for her. Will Luna succeed in evading the police and going on the run? Or is Luna about to find herself in peril thanks to her grand escape?
