Lizzie and Lyra once again discuss the fallout of Hen's secrets, and how she's dealing with her illness. And though they don't love the writing, they deeply relate to Hen's position and how hard what she's going through is. It's good that, by the end of the episode, she let her family be there for her.

Then there's Harry, who goes through his own journey this episode. And it's one they really enjoyed. They just wish Bobby was around to see it.

So all in all, some good. Some bad. And not much idea of where the season is going. Join them for the latest Tales From the 118!

Lizzie and Lyra have mixed feels about 9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 8 "War." Because over and over again Hen was acting OOC and it wasn't she who deserved an apology. It was Chimney. He kept rightfully defending himself, and Lizzie and Lyra agree that Hen fainting derailed whatever story 9-1-1 was trying to tell.

And then there was Eddie and Buck AND Buddie. They were glad that the show remembered Eddie's veteran background. A little bit of continuity for you. (Let's keep that up.) For Buddie, it was fun seeing them doing a 2 for 1 job. But once again, we live in a post-Heated Rivalry world. We want more than crumbs. So, some good. But not all. And not most of it.

Lizzie and Lyra return to 9-1-1, after being blessed by Heated Rivalry, in their review for "Secrets." The biggest secret of them all is Hen's, who decides to not go to a doctor after her fainting spell and shaking hands. But it gets worse. It's been 3 months since she found out. And when Chimney found out, Lizzie and Lyra agree. Chimney was in the right to fire her!

Then there's Eddie, Buck, and Ravi. A lot of their scenes were funny. But how did a storyline about Eddie... transform into a story about Buck where the show makes fun of his "bisexual escapades"? Decisions have been made. But do we understand them? No.

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.

Lizzie and Lyra talk 'The Sky is Falling' and how it balanced character moments better than the previous episode, while still dropping little hints about what every individual storyline will be going forward. From Chim needing to take action, to Eddie being a little reckless, to Buck having to relieve a lot of his traumas, the train emergency had it all! And, that's without even going into Hen and Athena killing it in space, and Karen solving problem after problem to get them home.

Lizzie and Lyra are taking things to space in 9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 2 "Spiraling." And honestly... they focused a little too much on the emergency for us. So much so that what character development actually happened? Also, why weren't more people from the 118 concerned about Hen and Athena? Well, besides Karen, she was perfect. And Harry, who was not perfect, but we still related.

But grief, falling objects, and space? Also, here be Fast and Furious comparisons, because space.
