‘9-1-1’: How Will Athena Grieve for [Spoiler]?

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 15 “Lab Rats.”]

Athena (Angela Bassett) has lost another loved one. This time, her husband Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), in a shocking twist at the end of the latest 9-1-1 episode.

Early on in the episode, Bobby knew he was going to die, which means he knew throughout all his conversations with Athena over the phone; he realized that his oxygen line was torn in the explosion in the previous episode — so he was exposed to a super strain of CCHF (Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever) — and kept quiet while his wife tracked down the anti-viral that Chimney (Kenneth Choi) needed. When he revealed he was infected and locked himself in the lab after the others were evacuated, he told Athena that he started feeling it hours ago.
