9-1-1: Lone Star might not be a supernatural drama, however there’s no denying the magic we noticed on display this week.
Tuesday’s episode discovered Grace as soon as once more wrestling along with her father’s previous infidelity, ultimately lashing out at him for making her complicit in his secret. Naturally, she then blamed herself when Papa Williams suffered a coronary heart assault whereas babysitting Charlie and wanted emergency surgical procedure.
Then got here the magic: Whereas seated at her father’s bedside, Grace was joined by her sisters (performed by Sierra McClain‘s real-life siblings China Anne and Lauryn) for a harmonious efficiency of Nat King Cole’s “Smile” that woke Benjamin after surgical procedure.
“It was an entire out-of-body expertise,” McClain tells TVLine of attending to sing alongside her sisters on display. The trio, which now information below the identify Thriii, final sang on TV collectively in a 2012 episode of Disney Channel’s A.N.T. Farm. “It was one factor to speak about it with [showrunner Tim Minear], however once we have been really on that mattress they usually say motion and your two real-life sisters are standing there subsequent to you whilst you’re enjoying a personality that you simply’ve performed for 4 years — it’s simply, I don’t know. I used to be utterly out of my physique and over the moon. There aren’t any phrases to explain it, however we had a lot enjoyable.”
The concept to convey her sisters onto the present was McClain’s concept, a proposal to which Minear was extraordinarily receptive throughout their pre-season chat about Grace’s upcoming storylines. And it was Minear who advised “Smile,” a music the McClain sisters had by no means sung collectively earlier than. Studying music producer Tim Davis’ “stunning” association and recording along with her sisters within the studio was “a magical expertise throughout.”
This was additionally an eventful episode for Owen, who realized that Kendra is in an open marriage, which led to an comprehensible breakup. That might have been sufficient, however as a result of it is a 9-1-1 present, Kendra’s husband Brett later froze to demise of their at-home cryotherapy chamber. And that’s not all! Brett’s precise reason for demise is believed to be poison, and because the man courting his spouse, Owen is nearly definitely on the brief checklist of suspects.
Grace was too busy along with her family drama to weigh in on the Owen state of affairs, however McClain thinks it’s all for the very best.
“You recognize, I’m really unsure Grace would have a lot to say, to be sincere with you,” McClain says. “She would in all probability simply watch and nod and say a bit prayer. Simply whenever you assume Owen’s performed all of it… not fairly!”
OK, let’s discuss all of this: Do you continue to have chills from the McClain sisters’ music? And who do you think is de facto behind Brett’s homicide? Drop a remark along with your ideas under.
