Lizzie and Lyra talk 9-1-1's "Family History," and how even if it was mostly effective as an episode, it wasn't really a great midseason finale. Probably because it wasn't meant to be one! They also have some issues with Chimney's Captain arc happening mostly off-screen, and Hen's choice to hide his illness from her family for... what reason, again? The show's pacing is a problem, and its tendency to expect us to fill in the blanks is also an issue.

Plus, there are still so many dangling plot threads from last season!

Lizzie and Lyra talk 9-1-1 "Día de los Muertos." And as Latinas, they felt this one. Eddie in particular got a lot of moments in this episode with religious guilt, grief, and choosing your own path. And even though they didn't like that it was Abuela bones this episode, they saw what this death did to Eddie and what could possibly come next.

They also talk about Buck and how his journey paralleled Eddie's, with Buck working through his grief based on belief. And while that argument they had might've pissed off fans, they deserve a little grace and understanding because again, it's grief.

And on Athena front... she finally talked to Bobby, the grief that's been hanging over all of them.

Lizzie and Lyra talk 9-1-1 "Reentry" and how it was the best episode of the opening emergency. Did it have to take 4 episodes to get here? No. It really didn't. If short films can deliver a moving story in 10 minutes, 9-1-1 should be able to tighten things up. Either way, they talk about how Angela Bassett gave a heartbreaking performance. But so did Pepi Sonuga, who plays young Athena. They also clock Eddie and Chimney for the tension brewing there and talk about how 9-1-1: Nashville could learn a thing or two from 9-1-1 if they want to succeed as a show.
