‘9-1-1’ Sneak Peek: Maddie Has Grim Update About Athena & Hen in Space (VIDEO)

Kenneth Choi as Chimney, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie — '9-1-1' Season 9 Episode 4 "Reentry"

What To Know

  • In an exclusive sneak peek of the October 30 episode of 9-1-1, Maddie informs the team that Athena and Hen have reached the International Space Station, but their current condition is unknown.
  • The 118 crew is dealing with an overflow of injured patients in Los Angeles.
  • Chimney asking Eddie to handle a patient’s care seems to surprise him.

9-1-1 Season 9’s opening emergency concludes with the Thursday, October 30, episode, but as TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek reminds everyone, it’s definitely going to be a bumpy landing. (Plus, check out a first look at Season 9’s new poster, featuring the cast, below.)

As Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and May (Corinne Massiah) helped establish in the previous episode, the 118 is now one of the overflow centers for those injured in the chaos in Los Angeles that has resulted from the geomagnetic storm — which, of course, is much worse for those in space, Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds), last seen on in the International Space Station. Now, in our clip, May checks in on Chimney (Kenneth Choi) and Eddie (Ryan Guzman) treating one such patient. Her shoulder is dislocated, and Chimney checks with her, “If you’re OK with it, Eddie here can pop it back into place.”

Eddie seems confused: “You don’t want to handle that, Cap?” Chimney leaves him to do it. And yes, it could be that he’s just going over to greet Maddie, who has just walked in with Karen (Tracie Thoms), but is there more to it? Is this about the decision he had to make in Season 9 Episode 3 to amputate the leg of a woman who was trapped on a train? Eddie seems to think there’s something going on with the look he gives him.

Karen joins her kids and tells them Hen says hello and takes them aside to tell them all about it.

Chimney, meanwhile, asks Maddie for the latest on Hen and Athena. “They made it to the ISS,” she says. “But?” he knows there’s more. And he’s right. “There’s no way of knowing what’s going on or what shape they’re in,” she admits. Watch the full sneak peek above for more.

When we last saw those in space, they’d reached the ISS only to be informed that it’s in the middle of a debris field and had been hit three times already. It possibly wouldn’t withstand a fourth hit … and it was struck as “The Sky Is Falling” ended.

Now, in “Reentry,” as Athena and Hen navigate their way back home, Athena will be forced to confront what it means to live without Bobby. Mark Consuelos guest stars as Tripp, who sent them up to space (along with others, including his fiancée).

    I can't wait for the space thing to be over. I hate how the show ignores the characters personal stories to give us random big emergencies. It would be ok if we still had a focus on their personal plots, but the way 911 does it? It's a mess.

    The way i'm more interested in seeing Eddie and May interact than I am with the space emergency.

    There's only one person I want to see and that's Eddie Diaz. Also, I'm ready for this episode to end because 9x5 is next and that's Eddie's episode.

    Tim, don't mess up Eddie's episode like you did last season. This should be solely about the Diaz Family, i.e., Eddie, Chris, Tia Pepa and his abuela, Isabel since they're celebrating Dia de los Muertos and it's ok for Buck to be there too but NO ONE ELSE, especially no doppelgängers or ghosts of Shannon. Let her R.I.P. never to return in any shape or form. Also, leave Kim at that retail store and don't let her show up again with those bangs.

    Thanks.

      I'm really excited for episode 5, but at the same time, I'm AFRAID of what they're about to give us. This show has a history of messing up Eddie's plots..... I think depending of what they do with that episode, I'll decide if I keep watching 911 or not. I'm tired of it being a mess.

    What the hell is that poster. Why are Eddie and Maddie so small and why is Buck so big? Is this official? I don't like it. This is not the Athena and Buck show.

    I hope I see more Eddie scenes this season.

    Glad the space storyline is over . Maybe get back to what the show is supposed to be to be for. Please reconsider and bring Bobby back it can be done . Athena needs her husband and partner . It was nice to see them take care of each other and have each other’s back .I am a recent widow and it was comforting to me to see them together even if it was just a TV show . Why did they spoil it . ?

    This was the ABSOLUTE WORST episode yet!!! Get your show more real and believable or I (along with many others) will just quit watching it. It’s just too stupid to continue!!!

    I won't even watch the 911 space episodes. It's a stupid story line.

    This is one of my favorite shows, but this space thing is a little ridiculous and far fetched, I can't wait for it to be done with. I'm really disappointed with the Nashville 911. I just can't get into that one at all.
