A recap of 9-1-1 season 8 episode 8 before episode 9 airs
In 9-1-1 season 8 episode 8 (Wannabes), the storyline revolved around the 118’s interactions with Brad Torrence, the actor shadowing them for his role in the fictional show Hotshots. Brad, desperate to prove himself as more than just a Hollywood hero, found himself in hot water during a real emergency. The team responded to a multi-car accident caused by a wastewater explosion.
While the firefighters were working to free a couple trapped in a sinking car, Brad jumped in to help but did so without proper safety protocols. His actions, while well-intentioned, put both the victims and himself at risk. Bobby (Peter Krause) reprimanded him harshly.
Meanwhile, Eddie (Ryan Guzman) struggled with his son Christopher's absence. The episode highlighted his growing anxiety about missing critical moments in Christopher’s life.
A conversation with Brad, who shared his own experience of losing touch with his son, struck a chord with Eddie. By the end of the episode, Eddie was seen looking at real estate listings in Texas, signaling that he might be ready to leave the 118 to reconnect with Christopher.
Athena (Angela Bassett) took on a separate storyline involving a YouTube vigilante who called himself the "Cart Cop." After he was brutally attacked and left in a shopping cart, Athena teamed up with Romero to solve the case. They discovered that the attacker was a seemingly mild-mannered man named Ira, who turned out to be a parole jumper with a history of violent crimes.
The episode ended on a lighter note, with the 118 visiting the set of Hotshots and even stepping in as extras. However, a major takeaway was Eddie’s potential move to Texas and the look of devastation on Buck’s (Oliver Stark) face when he found out. The episode set the stage for major changes and left viewers questioning the future of the 118 team.
9-1-1 season 8 episode 9 will come out on Thursday.
