Captain Bobby Nash funeral shocks 9-1-1 viewers in emotional return episode
After tearful goodbyes to his wife, LAPD Sergeant Athena Grant (Angela Bassett), and surrogate son Buck (Oliver Stark), Bobby died while praying behind protective glass.
The episode, titled 'The Last Alarm,' opens with an eight-year-old flashback showing Bobby and his crew responding to a house fire. Though they manage to save the mother, Leah, they tragically fail to rescue her infant son, Mika.
In the present, Athena struggles to plan Bobby's funeral while waiting for the department to release his body. Tensions rise when she discovers that Chimney has been persistently calling about the delay, prompting a confrontation. Athena fears that once Bobby is buried, people will begin to move on — something she's not ready to do.
Athena unexpectedly crosses paths with Leah, who now believes Mika was kidnapped during the fire and is still alive. Though initially hesitant, Athena reopens the case to honor Bobby's memory. After exhuming Mika's grave and conducting a DNA test on a boy Leah suspects is her son, it's confirmed the child is not Mika, leaving Leah devastated.
The episode closes with Bobby's funeral, attended by the entire Station 118 crew, including Eddie (Ryan Guzman), who returns for the occasion. Athena then accompanies Bobby's casket to St. Paul, Minnesota, where he is buried beside his first wife and two children. 'Rest easy, you're home now, baby,' she says as the screen fades to black.

Danielle Spencer, beloved ‘What's Happening!!' child star, dies at 60
Danielle Spencer, the actress who charmed audiences as Dee Thomas on the classic 1970s sitcom What's Happening!!, has died at age 60. Her brother announced the news Monday on Instagram, confirming she passed away at a hospital in Richmond, Virginia. Spencer had faced health challenges in recent years, including a breast cancer diagnosis, a double mastectomy, and multiple surgeries. Born in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1965, Spencer began acting after her family moved to New York City. At 11, she landed the role of Dee Thomas — the quick-witted, sharp-tongued younger sister of Raj Thomas — on What's Happening!!, which aired on ABC from 1976 to 1979. The sitcom, inspired by the film Cooley High, became a cultural touchstone, and Spencer's character quickly became a fan favorite. After the series ended, Spencer moved to the Ivory Coast before returning to the U.S. to study veterinary science at UC Davis, later earning her doctorate from Tuskegee University in 1993. She built a two-decade veterinary career in Los Angeles while making occasional acting appearances, including roles in As Good as It Gets and Days of Our Lives. In 2010, she published her memoir Through the Fire … Journal of a Child Star, sparking renewed interest in her life and career. She was inducted into the National Museum of African American History and Culture in 2014 and later hosted a pet care segment for Richmond's WTVR-TV. Spencer is survived by her mother, Cheryl Pelt, and brother, jazz trumpeter Jeremy Pelt.

Jeremy Renner discusses near-death experience as Whoopi Goldberg recalls Ghost
Jeremy Renner appeared on the May 1, 2025, episode of The View (re-aired on August 5) to discuss his memoir My Next Breath and reflect on the snow plow accident that nearly took his life on New Year's Day in 2023. The conversation took an emotional turn when co-host Whoopi Goldberg drew a connection between Renner's experience and the 1990 film Ghost, in which she starred. Renner was critically injured while trying to prevent a 14,000-pound snow plow from hitting his nephew. The incident left him with more than 30 broken bones and led to a profound reflection on life and mortality. During the conversation, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked him about what he remembered from the moments he described as dying. 'It's always kind of tough to talk about,' Renner said. 'But I realize that, in time, there are so many shared experiences that people have when they have a near-death experience… it's quite beautiful.' Renner explained that he believes love is the only thing that carries over beyond life. 'Love is the only thing that you take with you… it's the DNA of our spirit,' he shared. 'Hate can't exist [there]—it only exists on the coattails of love.' Goldberg responded by referencing Ghost, the Oscar-winning film that earned her Best Supporting Actress at the 1991 Academy Awards. She noted the film's final message—that love continues beyond death—echoes Renner's insight. 'That's the movie Ghost… you take it with you,' she told him. Renner agreed, saying, 'It's not just a movie, no.' The episode was re-aired on August 5 during The View's summer hiatus, which runs from July 28 to September 2, 2025. The show regularly airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
