Bobby Funeral Episode says goodbye to Peter Krause
Spoiler alert: This story contains spoilers for Thursday’s episode of “9-1-1” on ABC.
“9-1-1” returned tonight after a two-week hiatus with a crucial, heartbreaking episode with the funeral of Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause). In the previous episode, Bobby van Krause died unexpectedly after the coincidence of a virus and chose to save team member Chimney (Kenneth Choi) instead of themselves with the available antidote. After having said goodbye to his wife, LAPD sergeant Athena Grant (Angela Bassett), and his surrogate son Buck (Oliver Stark) by protective glass, Bobby knelt down to pray and died.
When viewers tuned on May 1 on May 1 for the episode entitled ‘The Last Alarm’, they were greeted with a surprise: Bobby and the Station 118 Crew on an emergency call that we have never seen before. But we quickly learn that this is a flashback from eight years ago, just when the series started. In this call, Bobby and the team try to save a family from a house fire. They succeed in saving the mother, Leah, but cannot find her baby son, Mika, on time. Bobby looks at the mother in devestation while the house stays on.
Nowadays, Athena tours a cemetery and tries to plan Bobby’s funeral with her children, but she has trouble deciding where he would like to be resting. Moreover, civil servants still have to release Bobby’s body to her, so that he cannot bury him yet.
Later, Athena becomes furious with a chimney when she finds out that he calls the Non -Stop department to demand that they release Bobby’s body. It seems that Athena is worried that as soon as they bury Bobby, everyone will be able to continue with this death – and she doesn’t want that. But the body is now released and the funeral will be held the following Tuesday.
While Athena storms the fire station after calculating in the chimney, she meets a man looking for Bobby. As soon as she tells him that Bobby is dead, and she is his widow, the man apologizes and explains that he wanted to see Bobby in the hope that he could help the man’s sister. It turns out that this woman is Leah, the mother who lost her son in the fire eight years ago. Only Leah no longer accepts that her son Mika died, because she recently met a little boy with the name Cameron at a birthday party that she thinks it looks like on Mika.
She is now convinced that Cameron is Mika and Mika was abducted from her house in the night of the fire by his current mother, who, according to Leah, was in the same prenatal yoga class as she was. Leah tried to kidnap Cameron and is now in prison where Athena comes to visit her. Athena hesitates to believe Leah, but listens to her story about noticing Cameron had a similar birthmark as Mika’s. Athena says she doesn’t think Leah is “crazy” and that if Mika lives, she will bring him back to Leah.
Athena works back late at night with her and Bobby’s house, which is under construction in the midst of an incomplete renovation, tries to merge what happened and avoiding calls from everyone. That is when Ghost Bobby appears to her and asks: “You are going to start a podcast?”, When he says her wall of “crazy” in which the possible abduction is set out.
“Shouldn’t you be busy planning my funeral? I hear it will be big,” Bobby asks. Athena says that De Lafd already has a template to follow for his “hero funeral” and does not need her to make choices. When Ghost Bobby pushes her back, she takes out: “You are the one who has locked himself up in a laboratory to die. You can’t tell me how to spend my time.” He replies: “Au”, and she insists that she has to investigate this case again because it was important for Bobby and he can’t do that now.
Athena gets the permission of Leah to execute Mika’s grave, only to discover that there is no body inside. Leah’s brother says that the baby’s remains were lost in the fire and they never told the Lea. Athena then goes to Cameron’s house and lets him and his mother -DNA tested against Leah. It turns out that Cameron is not Mika., And Leah was destroyed when Athena tells her the news. “Let yourself believe that miracles were possible,” says Athena.
We see a flashback from eight years ago, when Bobby comes to visit the hospital in the hospital after the fire and tells her about losing his own two children in a fire years earlier, together with his first wife. She asks him how he gets through every day and Bobby says: “I live in the conviction that I will see them again one day.”
It used to be time for Bobby’s funeral. Everyone from the 118 is present, including Eddie (Ryan Guzman), who flew back for the occasion, and Chimney, who had to follow Buck to come because Chimney is still so angry with Bobby for sacrificing himself.
After the service, the Bobby team carries his box to the fire truck for a large procession through the streets of Los Angeles, and a final alarm calls in the honor of the captain. Then, instead of going to a LA cemetery to bury him, Athena and her children step on board a plane with Bobby’s Casket and bring him back to St. Paul, Minnesota to be buried with his first wife, Marcy, and his two children, Robert Jr. And Brooke.
“Rest easy, you’re at home now, dear,” says Athena, kissing his box just before the episode ends.
