ABC wraps up the first half of\u00a09-1-1<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0season 9 with a mix of endings and beginnings as the 118 moves on from Bobby Nash. Ryan Murphy’s premier network TV show has been in a rough patch since Peter Krause’s unexpected departure from the show. While deaths are the norm for first-responder procedurals, a major character loss simply do not exist until\u00a0Bobby died in 9-1-1 season 8. Since then, questions about how the show will move on from the tragedy have been floating around.<\/p>\n 6 episodes later,\u00a09-1-1<\/em>\u00a0is 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 “D\u00eda de los Muertos”. Somehow, the\u00a0<\/p>\n To say that a lot happens in\u00a0<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Obviously, Chimney officially becoming the new captain is emotional, especially as he gets a private moment with his new team. Starting the episode with him contemplating about whom the 118’s next chief should be is a little jarring, however, considering that he has pretty much taken over the job. It’s great, however, that the ceremony finally features Athena, since she missed the renaming of firehouse in episode 1.<\/p>\n 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\u00a0<\/p>\n With Bobby gone,\u00a09-1-1<\/em>\u00a0has to reinvent itself in order to continue. As sad as it was to say goodbye to him, the show needs to eventually move on. In the immediate aftermath of “Contagion” and even up until “D\u00eda de los Muertos”, the concept of death, particularly his, loomed large over the show. After the\u00a0<\/p>\n 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\u00a09-1-1<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0successfully into a new era. Harry and Buck’s newfound dynamic is specifically intriguing, especially since the former’s grief hasn’t really fully materialized on-screen. Beyond that, his relationship with Eddie has been almost non-existent this year. Regardless, however, of what comes next, they, at least, pose interesting possibilities for 118’s future in the\u00a02025-2026 TV cycle.<\/p>\n The stars of the Bravo hit (returning Nov. 19) enjoyed an evening out at Caesars Palace \u2014 and PEOPE went along for the ride<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n The men of\u00a0Southern Charm<\/em>\u00a0are kicking off\u00a0BravoCon 2025\u00a0in true Las Vegas fashion.<\/p>\n On Thursday, Nov. 13, PEOPLE spent the evening out on the town with\u00a0Craig Conover,\u00a0Shep Rose,\u00a0Austen Kroll,\u00a0Rodrigo Reyes\u00a0and the show’s creator and executive producer,\u00a0Whitney Sudler-Smith, as they kicked off the weekend with some gambling and drinks at\u00a0Caesars Palace Las Vegas.<\/p>\n During the hang, which revolved around playing blackjack and ended with a steak dinner, the stars all shared their excitement about the three-day event, teasing what’s to come ahead of the season 11 premiere (airing Nov. 19) and of course, they did not missing the chance to poke fun at one another and their brotherly bond.<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n “It’s fun, because look, 250 people, maybe, have ever done what we’ve done. Maybe 50 have done this as long as we’ve done [it]. And so we have this insane bond no matter what,” Conover, 36, tells PEOPLE of his decade-long run on TV as he sips a diet coke with a slice of lemon. “That we’ve shared our lives with America and 125 other countries around the world \u2014 it actually really is awesome. I think we’re all really excited for this weekend.”<\/p>\n In fact, he calls the fan convention “one of my favorite things in the world.”<\/p>\n Of course, being back in Las Vegas is something of a mixed bag for Rose, 45, whose last visit for the fan convention was a blacked-out blur. “I treated it like I was at a bachelor party last time I was here,” he tells PEOPLE. “I was on the plane, and then I got here, and I won’t name names, but another Bravo person said, ‘Let’s smoke a blunt.’ And I did. And I was off to the races.”<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n “There is something wrong with that because I was a moron for four days straight,” Rose admits.<\/p>\n While he indulged in beers during the night out, he promises to be “a good little boy” this time around.<\/p>\n “Somebody said something, you can go to Vegas to work or to play. You can’t do both,” he laughs. “And as much as this doesn’t feel like work, it is work. And I want to be present and happy and engaging and all those things.”<\/p>\n Still, Rose can guarantee this won’t be the only time he’s spotted at a blackjack table. Conover says he even has an insider tip on how to win: “Austen knows, because this happened to us last time we were here. Find someone that has never played craps and ask them to roll the dice. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s how you win.”<\/p>\n Kroll adds, “You don’t have to win money in Vegas to have a good time. But it makes it better.”<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for\u00a0PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter\u00a0to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n The longtime costars are also excited to spend some time with Bravo’s leader this weekend,\u00a0Andy Cohen.<\/p>\n “I mean, I love seeing Andy,” Rose says. “It’s funny, we’re on a text chain \u2014 me and Austin and Craig and Andy \u2014 and then we will separately text. I mean, I was in the Hamptons and Andy said, ‘Why don’t you come by?’ I was like, ‘I’m here.’ And I met\u00a0his son and his daughter\u00a0and hung out on the beach for a little.”<\/p>\n He continues, “People always ask me what he’s like. He is the most genuine guy. If you ask him any stupid question, which I try to keep to a very bare minimum, he gets right back to you. He’s like the most \u2014 I mean, he’s true bloom.”<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n It’s a sentiment that Reyes, who joined\u00a0Southern Charm\u00a0<\/em>last season, echoes. “I met Andy [at] my first BravoCon two years ago, and he was absolutely, he was so nice.”<\/p>\n “I was not anticipating how short Andy was going to be, but I was like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t give a s—, come over here.’ And he was so nice and so receptive, and I was like \u2014 this is what I want. This is what I expect from the king. Humble to his servants.”<\/p>\n Conover, Kroll, Rose and Reyes will be back on Bravo later this month as season 11 of\u00a0Southern Charm<\/em>\u00a0premieres, and Kroll teases that it’s a “pretty relatable” season, and one where he personally was “starting to question” some of the people and relationships in his life.<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n “That’s it in a nutshell,” Kroll says. “At what point do you say, ‘All right, maybe we’re just not the same people that we used to be, and maybe we need to let each other grow separately.'”<\/p>\n Conover \u2014 who brought his parents along for the night on the town \u2014 even confesses he’s nervous for the cast panel, because the conflict is still ongoing.<\/p>\n “I don’t want to do our panel on Sunday at all, because, I mean, what are we supposed [to say]?” he explains. “We can’t talk about things that happened in the season, but all of our drama is based off that, and a lot of it’s unresolved.”<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n “I’m really excited for the fans,” he adds before joking: “I might be leaving the country for a little bit, but man, is this season fun and flirty.”<\/p>\n Despite any tensions, there’s real love between the costars. “Honestly, Whitney, as much as he loves to give us crap, we wouldn’t be here without you,” Conover says to Sudler-Smith. “You ever consider that?”<\/p>\n “It’s incredible,” adds Sudler-Smith. “We’ve all become a tight-knit, close community of good friends. We hang out off-camera and we are good friends and I think it’s a testament to the strength and integrity of the show.”<\/p>\n Scroll to see more photos from the evening out in Vegas with the men from\u00a0Southern Charm<\/em>.<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n Southern Charm<\/em>\u00a0season 11 premieres on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
