9-1-1 Shocker: [Spoiler] Just Made a Heroic Exit After 8 Seasons — EP Explains Why It ‘Needed to Happen'
9-1-1 9-1-1 just did the unthinkable. Thursday's episode, the conclusion of its two-part 'Contagion' event, ended with the heartbreaking death of Peter Krause's Captain Bobby Nash. More from TVLine Grey's Anatomy Taps Piper Perabo for Three-Episode Arc - What's Her Connection to Amelia? Abbott Elementary EPs Talk Season 4's 'Breather' Finale, Janine and Gregory's Latest Relationship Milestone Missed Will Trent's General Hospital Homage? Watch It Here and Find Out What Inspired the 'Crossover' In what felt like the blink of an eye, the 118 lost its fearless leader, Athena lost her devoted husband, and 9-1-1 lost the very heart which has kept it going for eight seasons. Buck and Athena were able to retrieve Moira's antidote and prevent Chimney's demise from the deadly virus (it's a very long story involving a high-speed helicopter chase with the U.S. Army), but the episode still had one last twist in store for viewers. And by a twist, I mean a twist of the knife. Quarantining himself from the rest of the 118, Bobby revealed to Buck that a hole in his breathing apparatus allowed the virus to enter his mask, but he stayed quiet because he knew that Chimney would never accept the only antidote. 'You're going to be OK, Buck,' he said calmly. 'Remember that. They're going to need you. I love you, kid.' Then came Bobby's devastating final moments with Athena. 'I'm sorry,' he said with tears streaming down his face. 'This isn't how I wanted to leave you. I'm not choosing to leave you. I chose to save my team because it was the right thing to do. It was never because I wanted to go. I don't want to go. If I could choose, I would stay with you. Always.' 'LA was supposed to be my penance, not my home,' he told her. 'And then you said yes to a dinner invitation and I started to live again. I love you, baby.' Below, 9-1-1 showrunner Tim Minear explains the circumstances leading up to Bobby's death (including those unfortunate leaks on social media), his thought process behind the tragic loss, and what's next for Athena and the 118. Plus, have we really seen the last of Krause? Read on for our full Q&A, then drop a comment with your own reaction to Bobby's death. TVLINE | I guess it would have been too on-the-nose to call this episode 'Bobby Ends,' huh?Yeah, although I probably could have after that Twitter leak. TVLINE | Let's start with that. I mean, you filmed [Bobby's procession] outside in Los Angeles, then you called that episode 'The Last Alarm.' Were you worried about spoilers getting out, or did you almost fans to be able to prepare for this?I did not want spoilers. We went to a lot of insane degrees to try to prevent them. But then no one thought that if we take Bobby's coffin out into downtown LA, people might notice. We're not that bright on some level. The truth is, funnily enough for our little firefighter show, the LA fires really threw a wrench into the schedule, so we had to pause production for quite a while. In order to still make the same air dates, we've been going seven days a week, just trying to get it there. So when we went out there on that weekend, we thought, 'Well, hopefully this won't [get out],' but the next thing I know it's being streamed live on TikTok. I think I underestimated the level of interest. TVLINE | How did we even get here? Did Peter come to you and say he was ready to be done?No, this was entirely a creative decision on my part, really. I've been thinking about it for a while. I kind of hinted at it in the Hot Shots episode when Brad Torrance is saying that [his character] isn't going wake up from his coma, and he had that fan going, 'You can't kill him off! He's what holds the [firehouse] together!' I was really thinking seriously about it when we wrote that scene. Look, am I crawling out on a skinny branch? Maybe. On the other hand, if the stakes are never real, if there's really no chance that any of this peril in which these characters find themselves amounts to anything, I think the show could die. TVLINE | So how did Peter take that news? Was this something he always thought could be possible?I don't know, actually. I mean, we had talked about it before. He was really professional about it and completely understood, creatively, why I wanted to do it. None of us wanted to do it, because if I kill off Bobby then Peter Krause is going to be a casualty of that choice. That was the hardest part about it, to be honest. I didn't want to not keep working with Peter. But I think we both understood that, for the health of the show and in order to give all of the characters more story, something like this needed to happen. That's really why I decided to do it. When I was breaking the two-part lab episode, I thought there should be a death there. As we were breaking it, I realized how epic that death could be [for Bobby], and it just seemed like, if I was ever going to do this, now's the time. I'm not going to have a better scenario in which to give Bobby a moment of ultimate sacrifice, which is the logical culmination of his arc from the beginning of the series. TVLINE | So you've kind of always operated under the assumption that Bobby's story would end with a sacrifice?Yeah. For a long time, we talked about there being some kind of house fire where Bobby would go in and rescue Harry and May, so he would save Athena's children when he couldn't save his own. There was a whole bunch of possible ways to go. But like I said, I had the opportunity to give somebody an epic death and I didn't want to waste it. TVLINE | You certainly didn't waste it. It was rough seeing a beloved character go out like that, vomiting up all that blood. Did you ever consider scaling it back, or did you just want us to feel everything?It actually is pretty scaled back. It could easily have turned into an episode of American Horror Story or 28 Days Later or something. It was Peter's idea to turn away and go into that prayerful posture at that table. What you're seeing is probably a couple of hours compressed into a two-minute montage with all the characters completely separated and no one there to comfort anybody. It needed to be clear enough that that's what was happening, but it's not like he's bleeding out of his eyeballs or something. TVLINE | You mentioned Athena earlier. She's strong, but this would rock world. How does she move forward from this?It rocks all of them, and that's why I didn't want to do this at the end of a season. I wanted about three episodes to grieve with the characters, which is what you're going to get. They're all going to have to approach it in their own way, and it's not going to be super easy. TVLINE | Some of Bobby's last words are to Buck, telling him that everybody's going to need him. How is he going to take those words to heart? I feel like that would haunt me he is haunted. He's not sure what to do with [Bobby's words], to be honest. TVLINE | Well, if there's one thing I sure of, it's that Maddie and Chimney have to name their son Bobby… right?Oh, that's interesting. TVLINE | Come on, I truly can't imagine a scenario in which they wouldn't at least consider it.I mean, I actually was going to have them name the baby Grant, but you might have something there. TVLINE | Whether it's in a dream or in a new 'flashback,' will we see Peter Krause as Bobby again this season?You have not seen the last of him this season, no. TVLINE | As you alluded to earlier, killing off one of your show's main leads is a huge gamble. The fans are going to freak out, and there are going to be concerns. What can you say to those who are really worried? Is this death going to loom large over everything that happens moving forward, or is this going to be same ?All of those things. I don't think you can make a move like this and not have it not loom large over things going forward, which is a plus and a minus. On the plus side, the next time I put one of your beloved characters in peril, you might be gripping the arms of your chair a little bit tighter because you know that I might do it again, because I've done it before. The stakes are real is kind of what I want to say. When I landed on this idea, the world suddenly felt more real to me. The characters felt more real to me. They felt like real people. I've killed off a lot of characters in my day, but this was hard for everybody, for the entire cast. Peter was very emotional about it. We've all had eight years to bond. That's the longest show I've ever been on — not counting American Horror Story, where everybody dies every season.

Survivor's [Spoiler] Reveals Heated Tribal Council Moment We Didn't See on TV: ‘At One Point, He Was Yelling at Me and…'
48 The gloves are finally off. More from TVLine Abbott Elementary EPs Talk Season 4's 'Breather' Finale, Janine and Gregory's Latest Relationship Milestone Missed Will Trent's General Hospital Homage? Watch It Here and Find Out What Inspired the 'Crossover' WATCH: Dichen Lachman Revisits Early Severance Days, Talks Gemma vs. Helly and Dollhouse Comparisons In Wednesday's Survivor, cracks began to form in the 'Strong 5' alliance after David aimed to target Kamilla, despite Joe and Kyle's arguments against it. Kyle put his game on the line trying to protect his secret No. 1, which raised more than a few red flags among his alliance. But by the time Tribal Council hit, Chrissy grew very vocal about not wanting the 'Strong 5' to run the game. She pleaded with those on the bottom to band together and not hand the game over to David, Joe, Eva, Kyle and Shauhin, but her pleas fell on deaf ears and she was unanimously voted out. Below, Chrissy details an unseen conversation with David and reveals that their back-and-forth at Tribal Council was much more heated in person. TVLINE | You were very vocal at Tribal Council against this 'strong five' alliance. But with Mary closely aligned with David and Star without a vote, do you have any regrets on anything you said or maybe the timing of it all?CHRISSY SARNOWSKY | I mean, yes and no. Obviously I could have kept my mouth shut and just let them choose who they wanted to go home, but it was quite obvious that they had this strong alliance and they were just gonna pick off the people at the bottom. They don't show a lot, but at night when we would go to sleep, we had two fire pits. All the strong people were in the one fire pit and all us little minions were in the other. They had this roaring fire and we had little kindle. And this is after two weeks of not eating and I'm just watching this go on. As the person I am, I just cannot sit back and just let them do that. If it got me voted out, it got me voted out, but I just wasn't gonna sit and wait until they thought it was Chrissy's time. TVLINE | Were you aware that Kamilla's name was being thrown around so much? [Shakes her head no.] As I was watching it, I'm like, 'Why didn't David come and tell me that?' Kyle told Kamilla, so she had a fighting chance at Tribal to sort of play it out for herself. I didn't know that. I thought it was me all day long, so I was just like, 'F–k it, I'm gonna just go out throwing all their names out there.' If I would have known that I had a little bit of a chance, I would have definitely pulled it back and tried to answer my questions a little differently. TVLINE | David seemed to get riled up as you were speaking your truth. At one point he said you were 'up in arms' about it, but you seemed pretty cool, calm and collected to me! What was your take on David's reaction and responses there?They don't show it, [but] at one point he was yelling at me and I turned around and I said, 'Who are you yelling at?' Like he was literally raising his voice at me, which is very unlike David, being with him the first seven days. He's the most gentlemanly, the most caring, and especially with females. So the fact that he was yelling at me at Tribal… that was another thing because David was the key to what I thought was going on. I thought we had five Civa. As Mitch was trying to tell them, we could have ran that vote if the five Civa would have stuck together just for that one vote, and then if we want to go our separate ways, fine. But once David started yelling at me, I was like, 'Alright, this five Civa is not gonna play!' [Laughs] TVLINE | Yeah, we saw Mitch try to get the former Civas together to vote a Lagi out. Could that have ever worked? Was there any chance in hell?No, David was the key. I think Kamilla and Kyle, what I thought at least, would have went either way, whatever way would have benefited them the most. So if we definitely could have gotten David on board, it would have made their choice easier. But with David being so wishy-washy and not really committing to — well, he was committing. He was committing to the strong [five], obviously — so that made Kyle and Kamilla have to go that way too. They don't show it, but I bawled. I don't cry and I bawled my eyes out with David. I was just trying to plead with him like, 'This is what you're here for, to win a million dollars, and you have a better chance with us than going that way.' I could see he was torn in his eyes, but I knew he had left me. TVLINE | Were you at all aware that Kyle and Kamilla were working that closely together?I was surprised to see how close [they were], and it's so funny 'cause it's right in my face. I should have been able to catch that and I didn't. I think I was just so happy. Night 1, I was almost like Andy from last season in my own head. I'm like, 'Nobody likes me.' I got super paranoid. And Day 2, Kamilla said to me, 'What do you think about the four of us working together?' Just her telling me that really gave me a sense of comfort, just for a couple of days at least. But not noticing that those two… they played it off well. They were very incognito. They're doing a great job. Kyle shocked me in this last one, throwing my name out there. It's so, so funny. But I texted him and I'm like, 'I love you and you're playing a great game,' so there are no hard feelings on that whatsoever. TVLINE | After where she revealed her autism to the group, were people afraid to vote for her or target them after that? Why weren't they a bigger target out there?At the time, we didn't discuss it, really. It was sort of taboo. It happened and, to me, that was a non-issue. She's a strong player. Forget the autism part, just look at her as a person. She's 23, she's a beast, she's got the best alliance with Joe and it was quite obvious the whole time. I mean, you see it on TV. It's so funny because good friends of mine are texting me saying, 'I love Eva and Joe!' And I go, 'You realize I have to beat them to get the million dollars.' Even my friends want them to win, so that's what I was up against! I was up against a great couple that were unbreakable and you saw it. I was trying to go after them, but they were just too bonded. And this whole honesty crap that they're talking about is like, yeah, they're honest to each other, but you're not gonna be honest to everybody else. TVLINE | I think it was David who mentioned at Tribal that oftentimes the strong athletic types are the big targets at the merge and maybe you were on the wrong and I was! [Laughs] When I was going out there, I'm like, 'You know, I'm 55, but I'm pretty athletic. I'll be decent at challenges.' And then I saw David and Joe and Eva and Kyle, and I was like, 'Oh, man. OK, switch that. You're not going to be good at challenges.' [Laughs] TVLINE | Had you thought about who you wanted to sit at the end with, had you made it there?Well, at the time, no, but I did know that Joe and Eva, they're doing each other a disservice. Only one person can win that million dollars. You two are playing the same exact game. That's what I was trying to tell them. How do I differentiate between you two when you're playing the same game, in my eyes. One of you has to make a move, and they were like, 'No, we don't.' And I'm like, 'Well, alright then, I want to sit next to you two, because if you're playing the same game, then that third person obviously has more of a highlight in my eyes. TVLINE | Is there anything we didn't see on TV that you feel viewers should know?There was a lot more conversations. Like me crying with David. I thought that was good, trying to convince him to come with us. And just the arrogance of the strong people. We were all going and sneaking off, and they were just sitting right there talking strategy! They didn't have to go hide. Everybody knew they were playing together. I'm like, 'What the hell is this?' It was very frustrating.

Chicago Fire's Nightmare Rescue Call Puts [Spoiler]'s Future at 51 in Jeopardy — Plus, Grade Boden's Return!
Chicago Fire welcomed back Boden under very intense circumstances during Wednesday's episode, which kicked off with one of 51's own in the hospital and fighting for their life. As Boden grilled Chief Pascal and his officers — Severide, Herrmann and Kidd — to find out what went wrong, the identity of the injured firefighter remained a tantalizing mystery. And there were a few probably candidates: Carver, who just returned from furlough after 30 days, which made Boden question if he was ready to get back to work. Then there was Cruz, who hasn't slept well the night before. But while viewers wondered who had been left behind in the disastrous house fire, Boden was more concerned with finding who was responsible. More from TVLine Chicago Fire Cast Shake-Up: Two Series Regulars Out Abbott Elementary EPs Talk Season 4's 'Breather' Finale, Janine and Gregory's Latest Relationship Milestone The Handmaid's Tale Episode 4 Recap: Guess Who's Going Back In?! Pascal, Severide, Herrmann and Kidd each detailed the many ways in which things went wrong, from the lack of traffic control, an inability to access water quick enough, Cruz's tank malfunctioning and so much more. When Pascal saw that the house was about to collapse, he ordered everyone to evacuate. Herrmann counted six firefighters in and six out, but an alarm signaled that someone had been left behind. Herrmann questioned the chief's call — if they had more time, maybe nobody would have been hurt. But Herrmann was glad he didn't have to make that call, and when Boden brought it up to Pascal, the latter accused Boden of trying to push him out so Herrmann could climb the ranks. Of course, Boden picked up on Herrmann's potential reluctance to step up the ladder, telling him, 'You'll think of calls differently when you're chief. You'll see — if that's still what you want.' It was Boden who finally figured out what happened during the incident: There was a seventh firefighter inside the house. Stella had ordered Carver to retreat, but unbeknownst to her, he saw Clarence fall through the collapsed floor and went in after him. Meanwhile, Severide mistook Carver for Damon, who had gotten separated from Clarence and made it to the attic, where he crushed under the weight of the roof. While he made it out of surgery, Damon suffered internal bleeding and smoke inhalation so bad that his scans showed evidence of lung breakdown, leaving him to worry that his days as a firefighter might be numbered. As for Boden, he took his findings to the committee, who demanded to know who was at fault. This was 'the kind of call where everything that could go wrong did,' he said. And yet, 51 saved four lives on borrowed time against the worst circumstances because every firefighter operates at the highest caliber under a strong leader. 'I wouldn't have done it any differently. Chief Pascal and his officers made all the right calls,' Boden concluded. With that, 51 was cleared of any wrongdoing, and Boden and Pascal exchanged some short words of respect ('Keep up the good work. I'll make sure that you do,' Boden told Pascal). In another moment that showed how far Pascal has come with the firehouse, Stella went back to Boden because didn't feel good about saying that things between with the new chief have been 'tricky.' She explained that Pascal is very capable chief who has shown up for everyone at 51, including her, and she hopes that he knows she also his back. fans, what did you think of the episode? Was Boden right that no one was to blame? And are you worried about Damon's professional future?
