9-1-1 Season 5 Episode 15 Review: FOMO

That hour was far and wide.

9-1-1 Season 5 Episode 15 began mild, with an influencer residing a double life. And alongside the way in which, we acquired a actuality marriage ceremony emergency and a few classic 118 talks within the firetruck.

After which bam. We acquired hit with one of many sadder deaths this present has tackled shortly.

The theme of this hour was FOMO, and naturally, we’re all hit every now and then with a sense like we missed out on one thing. It may be one thing as small as regretting that point you stayed residence to check for a Geometry examination as an alternative of heading out for an evening in town along with your finest associates.

Or it may be one thing enormous, like forgoing a profession you all the time dreamed of for one thing else.

It is a acquainted feeling, and right here we noticed it manifest in numerous methods by each the characters and the emergencies.

We noticed it with Hen and Karen most prominently, and I have to admit that I can relate to Karen’s struggles. Hopefully, there comes some extent in maturity the place you grow to be content material along with your life as a result of life may be so wealthy whereas additionally being extremely tragic at instances and mundane at others.

Embracing the mundane is part of rising up, and whereas Hen and Karen have embraced it totally, Karen’s worries about feeling like she ought to have performed tougher and labored rather less again within the day are very relatable. You may be extremely content material and glad along with your life and nonetheless have regrets.

Hen and Karen have life, and sadly, none of us can return in time and alter the previous. However every little thing Hen and Karen have finished of their lives led them to the place they’re at now. And hell, you are solely as outdated as you’re feeling, proper?

Seeing them traipse across the membership in search of the bank card thief was hilarious and good for them to stay across the membership a little bit longer to let unfastened.

9-1-1 wants these lighter moments to stability out the heaviness, and them closing out the hour wanting completely at peace collectively was stunning.

Maddie regretted having missed out on a lot of Jee-Yun’s life whereas she was getting effectively, and once more, this can be a completely legitimate concern to have.

Chimney documenting a lot of his time together with his daughter was pretty, and it was simply another excuse to like Howard Han. He was touring all around the states in search of Maddie and likewise retaining monitor of each little factor Jee did so he may present Maddie in the future.

The dialog between Maddie and Buck was VERY wanted as a result of Buck is aware of higher than anybody about Maddie’s talents to lift a toddler and the dimensions of her coronary heart. She has a lot love to provide these round her, and he or she’s sharing that love along with her daughter in spades.

Maddie: I am scared that I’ve scarred her for all times.
Buck: You have not. You know the way I do know that? Cuz that is not the primary child you raised. That was me.

Leaving Chimney and Jee-Yun was by no means a few lack of affection however about Maddie needing to get effectively to be there for her household. And she or he is there for them in each approach doable.

Maddie and Chimney’s breakup has been fairly the recent subject since we came upon they cut up in 9-1-1 Season 5 Episode 13. Whereas I am of the assumption that the breakup was for the most effective proper now, opinions are diversified.

However you possibly can see after they’re collectively that the love and respect remains to be there between them, they usually’ve been slowly studying the way to navigate co-parenting with nice outcomes. There’s a little bit awkwardness right here and there, however they’re nonetheless a workforce.

And bless Maddie’s soul for simply having fun with Jee-Yun’s first as an alternative of operating to seize her cellphone. It is all the time good to have the recollections, however typically it is also good to be current within the second to take pleasure in what’s in entrance of your eyes and never behind a display screen.

We have not spent a ton of time with Might recently, and to be sincere, I might forgotten that the plan wasn’t for her to work at dispatch endlessly as a result of the present hasn’t introduced it up in so lengthy.

Might had plans for her life popping out of highschool, very similar to all of us do, however life got here and hit her arduous, and plans modified. However now she’s acquired this large choice to make about her life, and he or she’s conflicted.

Might is a superb dispatcher. Time and time once more, Might proved that she has what it takes to assist folks by a few of the worst moments of their lives. And if she wished to remain at dispatch endlessly, they might be fortunate to have her. Nevertheless it feels like perhaps that is not precisely what she needs.

And if she decides to go away dispatch to go to USC, you possibly can’t fault her in any respect as a result of going to high school was a dream of hers. Circumstances impressed her to work on the name middle, however now she’s in a distinct place, and it is okay to pivot again to what you beforehand wished, particularly if that is your final likelihood.

Facet observe, Eddie and Might being work associates, is one thing I by no means knew I wanted.

Certain, Eddie is associates with everybody on the 118 and yada yada, however typically it will possibly really feel like he solely actually has Buck in some methods. It is good to see him have another person exterior of the 118 to speak to and bond with.

Despite the fact that Eddie nor Might could also be lengthy for dispatch, hopefully, that friendship continues to thrive!

The emergencies went from a little bit humorous and outlandish, as solely 9-1-1 can do, to ugly tears identical to that.

We have seen folks die on the present earlier than as a result of whereas the glad endings are plentiful and crucial, there might be casualties in a present that offers with emergencies. In any case, that is only a truth of life.

However man, seeing a mom of three younger women perish like that was very arduous to digest.

Annabelle hung out along with her women and attempting to make up for the time she did not have with them as they bounced between two properties. To have her die right here was simply extremely heartbreaking on each single stage.

Her speech to her daughters was stunning, and I am so glad Hen and Chimney gave her that chance to avoid wasting goodbye in her personal approach. The lives of these women won’t ever be the identical, however they’ll all the time take a look at one another after they’re unhappy and see their mother mirrored of their sister’s eyes. 

Free Ends

  The 118 firetruck chat was good and harking back to the outdated days, but it surely was arduous to get previous the gaping gap that’s Eddie not being there.
