“You can’t save someone from themselves, not of they don’t want it.”

This week Han, Cil, and Rachel step into the ring fence to take a swing at Season 3 Episode 9 of 9-1-1, “Fallout,” which starts and ends with therapy, we love to see it!

Hen comes out the other end healed, Maddie finally opens up about wanting to heal, and Eddie is… calling flirting with his best bro and playing video games “therapy.” You keep saying that word, but we don’t think it actually means what you think it means.

Bobby, ever the martyr, almost became The Incredible Hulk after a slight overexposure to some radioactive waste, oopsie! We examine how Buck is much worry and his deep love and care for Bobby is reflected in that.

We discuss Athena and May butting heads over her college admissions essay, and how they come to understand and support each other despite their differing viewpoints.

Last, but certainly not least, we find ourselves voyeurs in the kitchen as we deep dive into the homoeroticism of suggestively goading your friend boy to get half-naked and pummel you.

Grab your belt buckles and get ready to “take on” the scene that even Oliver Stark has dubbed “Super Gay!” 

Give him that title.
