Lizzie and Lyra dive into 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 16 “The Last Alarm” is the final goodbye to Peter Krause’s Bobby and above all things… it’s a pretty frustrating episode. In a vacuum, it’s a really well-constructed hour about mourning and the various stages of grief, one that particularly focuses on how to push through that initial stage of denial. But this isn’t the show we’ve watched for years. So this grief arc, it doesn’t land. At all.

Still need more 9-1-1? Read Lizzie’s review of 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 16: “The Last Alarm.” Read a preview below:
“If the show does anything right in this hour, it’s do Athena’s grief justice, and allow Angela Bassett the chance to showcase what a great actress she is, once again. But how many times have we been here before? This isn’t anything new. We’re still not over having to see her grieve in Black Panther 2, and how much that hurt us. We didn’t need to be here again. And she didn’t either.”
