‘9-1-1’ Promo Teases Wild Bachelor Party, Where Chimney Is on His & Maddie’s Wedding Day (PHOTOS)

Kenneth Choi as Chimney in '9-1-1' Season 7 Episode 6 "There Goes the Groom"

To be fair, we probably should have expected every single moment we saw at the end of the latest 9-1-1 and that’s in the promo for the next as well as what’s to come in Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Chimney’s (Kenneth Choi) wedding episode itself (airing May 2) after the journey of their relationship thus far. But even so, the only way to describe the glimpses we’ve gotten so far is “wild.”

The fifth episode ended with Buck (Oliver Stark) and Eddie (Ryan Guzman) looking disheveled like they’d had a Hangover-style bachelor party when arriving at the venue. They joined Maddie and Hen (Aisha Hinds), and when the bride asked where her groom was, Buck said, “It’s complicated.” The photos for the wedding episode, which you can check out below, offer a look that those four characters seemingly picking up from there.

Now, the promo for Episode 6, “There Goes the Groom,” offers a look at Buck and Eddie waking up that morning—looking even worse than they do when they reach Maddie—and realizing the groom is MIA. Maddie, of course, isn’t going to sit still and sets out to find him. We do get a look at the bachelor party, which includes Buck and Eddie singing karaoke (as Peter Krause teased for us). But what has us the most concerned is when we do see Chimney. “I’m supposed to be somewhere,” he says, crawling across the floor, with someone behind him. Watch the full video above.

“After years of anticipation, Maddie and Chimney’s long-awaited wedding day arrives. However, when the groom mysteriously vanishes, the 118 races against time to ensure he doesn’t miss the most crucial day of his life,” reads ABC‘s official description of the episode.

“In typical Chimney-Maddie fashion, even such a joyous, happy, loving occasion will most likely be fraught with conflict, obstacles, and probably some trauma, too, because that’s just how they’re built. So I’m pretty sure things will not go as smoothly as either Chimney or Maddie would like,” Choi told us of the wedding, which he put at an eight on a trauma scale “It’ll be a wedding that nobody would expect, or some people who follow Chimney and Maddie’s relationship course, they would say it makes absolute sense that this is the wedding.”

Showrunner Tim Minear said he’s excited for the wedding. “For me, it’s kind of a fractal of both of their journeys, but particularly Chimney’s journey from when he was trying to get rich quickly with all his little schemes until he found his purpose in life and finally finding her,” he explained. “If you think about the stories that we’ve done with Chimney and Maddie over the seasons, there are always outside forces that are trying to kind of cleave them and pull them apart, and they always seem to find their way back to each other. And I think the wedding episode is that entire arc in miniature, and I’m very excited about it. I think it’s going to be great.”

    And of course the wedding isn‘t about Madney but instead about Buck and Tommy 🙄.The most memorable moment in Madney's wedding episode should NOT be Tommy and Buck kissing. The big romantic gesture that gets the spotlight should be between Maddie and Chimney.

    This episode should be a celebration of Maddie's and Chim's love and a culmination of their journey together. The focus shouldn't deviate to another couple's big milestone moment or whatever.

    9-1-1 let Buck take a backseat for a little while challenge: impossible
