Episode Description
“I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore”
This week Han, Cil, and Rachel really let go as we discuss two episodes of 9-1-1: Season 9 Episode 3 “The Sky is Falling” and Episode 4, “Reentry.”
Check out our review of both episodes to hear the long list of things they got right then dive into the character highlights with us to see how Hen, Karen, Athena, Chimney, Maddie, May, Harry, Buck, and Eddie are doing.
We explore the depth of Athena’s grief and how her experience in space becomes the perfect launching pad for her healing journey.
Get ready to follow the trail of crumbs in our Buddiemaxxing section, where we add another Bathena parallel to our collection along with a couple Cal and Lori parallels as well.
Then reach Into the Looking Glass with us as we talk about what’s coming up next in the season and our Wi$h Li$t items.
“I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away”
Episode title inspired by “Starlight” by Muse
