9-1-1 8X4: No Place Like Home
Added 2025-01-31 21:00:05 +0000 UTCI fucking hate that bitch Ortiz. Watching her get dethroned was so sweet.
So Hen and Karen have a hearing to see if they can get their foster license reinstated, but get denied when they judge finds out they've been having regular contact with Mara. They are immediately told they have to go zero contact with her, including phone calls. Hen tries to plead her case, but no dice (we find out later, the judge is Ortiz's friend).
Hen goes to her office to talk to her directly, but Ortiz accuses her of only caring about her son's death when it affected her. Then, make it her mission to make the 118 as miserable as possible. They all get body cams. Oh, and she reveals that it was her idea to send Gerrard over.
Meanwhile, Gerrard continues to make everyone miserable. And he's tasked Buck with deciding which member of the 118 he should fire to take care of a budget cut. Buck is devastated by this. He (and the rest of the 118 in turn) heads over to talk things out with Bobby.
Bobby ends up inviting Gerrard onto set where he is thrilled and jealous of Bobby's job. Bobby tells him he'd rather be fighting fires with his team. But, he also tells him that Ortiz put him in the 118, not because she thinks highly of him.
Gerrard confronts Ortiz about this, and she tells him it doesn't matter, they both want the same end goal. Gerrard then tells her that if she wants to hurt Hen she should take away the thing she loves most, the 118. Then Ortiz reveals she got that judge in her pocket. But since Gerrard gave her this great advice, she'll make him fire chief when the 118 is gone.
Back in court (a hearing?) Ortiz proposes shutting down the 118 and sending the members off to different houses to take care of the budget cut. Hen opposes and ends up showing the body cam footage that Gerrard took while in the meeting with Ortiz. Turns out, he was working with the 118 the whole time. Oh, Gerrard. Okay, I was fooled. I'll admit it. I was so pissed off at him when he was helping Ortiz.
And then we get what we've wanted for quite some time now: Mara gets to go home to Karen and Hen, and Bobby is our Cap again. ❤️

I really love how the seasons have been structured throughout the show. Having the first episodes being one major self-contained story, like this past one and the cruise one. I mean they've always done that but ever since moving to ABC, they have become even crazier. But they are making Angela Bassett (Athena) work for that 450k pay per episode with those episodes lol. I think it's smart, having the major star front and center for the first few episodes and then she can take a backseat in the later episodes so that the rest of the characters can shine. like this episode for example, she didn't do much, but other characters get to really shine this episode, like Hen. I'm glad that Ortiz lady is gone aswell, she doesn't deserve to be mayor or whatever she was running for, because how can you purposefully break up a family and remove a little girl from a loving home just because your upset at Hen. Glad Gerrard is gone aswell, they both were headaches, and Brad too. Thank God, Bobby is back, may he never leave from the cap position again, can't take another Gerrard.
