I have seen the light:9-1-1returned from its overly long midseason hiatus better than ever.
I havent watched.)
I laughed, I cried, I gasped when a woman popped out of a flower bed.
What a blessing this show can be.
The 118 arrive and quickly diagnose carbon monoxide poisoning, triaging the situation to the best of their abilities.
Unfortunately, Greta (now bursitis free!)
is dangling high up on that cross, which is starting to buckle.
Buck tries to lure her down, but she thinks hes Satan.
Turns out shes not only a faith healer shes also his long-absent mother!
Bobbys mom has been a major question mark on9-1-1.
But while Bobbys older brother, Charlie, went with their mom, Bobby chose to stay behind.
In other words, theres serious baggage here, as he tries to explain to Athena.
(She had assumed Ann was dead this really never came up over the last several years?)
Bobby doesnt talk to his mom because he gets a kink in his neck whenever he does.
More important, he thinks shes a fraud and a con artist.
But Athena feels like it could be divine intervention that brought mother and son together again.
Do you think that God poisoned 400 people with carbon monoxide to facilitate a reunion?
Bobby asks, to which Athena replies, He works in mysterious ways.
Im not terribly convinced, and Bobby certainly isnt either.
But Bobby obviously feels a fondness for his estranged brother, and that trumps the kink in his neck.
There are little jabs from the jump.
When Athena reveals that theyre building a new house, Bobby explains that someone burned down their last one.
They really get into it when the subject of Anns faith healing comes up.
The problem is that she also mentions Bobbys father, which is an obvious trigger.
Reader, I winced.
Maddie is doing great afterhaving her throat slit; I think she got highlights?
Buck, on the other hand, is struggling without Eddie.
Thats a big part of the reason he cant get settled in the apartment.
Ultimately, they agree to get a drink, surely the start of a beautiful friendship.
So much happens on this show!)
Things are good; some stuff has happened; my sister was abducted, Buck shares.
(Eddies commitment to bro code is honestly very endearing to me.)
They even talk about going out on a date.
Tommy says hes not as worried about Buck breaking his heart now that the competitions out of the way.
Oh, were going there you better believe my ears perked up.
Buck is taken aback by the insinuation, reminding Tommy that Eddie is straight.
(I did laugh at Tommys scoff and his dismissive okay.)
So much for that rekindled romance!
Later, Bucks tone with Maddie is softer.
Hes still baffled that anyone could think hes in love with Eddie, but she has the same question.
It wouldnt be so crazy, she says, and, no, it really wouldnt!
And we cant mourn for too long because there are emergencies to attend to.
A medical-alert pendant brings the 118 to a man named Elmer having a cardiac event.
Hes been trying to bury me alive for 42 years, she says.
Thats enough for Bobby to realize his mom may have had a good reason for leaving when she did.
At the hospital, Bobby learns his mother has terminal cancer.
but shes excited to meet her savior.
Im so sorry I didnt get to save him, Ann says of Bobbys father.
I cannot believe you monsters are forcing this woman onto open water again.
Buck-Tommy watch:Surprise, bitch!
I bet you thought youd seen the last of me.
I … dont think theyre going on that date, though.
Can we give Ravi something else to do this season?
