“And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'til touchdown brings me 'round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home. Oh, no, no, no I'm a rocket man.”

This week Han, Cil, and Rachel brace for impact as we discuss two episodes of 9-1-1: Season 9 Episode 1, “Eat the Rich” and Episode 2, “Spiraling.”

Check out our review of both episodes to hear the long list of things they got right then dive into the character highlights with us to see how Hen, Karen, Athena, Chimney, Maddie, May, Harry, Ravi, Buck, and Eddie are doing.

All systems are a go for our Buddiemaxxing section, where we break down Buck’s jealousy, Buddie having each other’s backs, and some season parallels!

Then jump Into the Looking Glass with us as we talk about what’s coming up next in the season and our Wi$h Li$t items.

“I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife. It's lonely out in space on such a timeless flight.”

Episode Title inspired by “Rocket Man” by Elton John
