‘9-1-1’ Season 8 Episode 13 Review: Hen and Eddie Are Too Forgiving in My Least Favorite Episode So Far This Season
9-1-1 focuses on Eddie and Christopher's reconciliation in Texas, and meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the 118 forget Hen's birthday.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 13.I was wondering if we were going to get a movie homage in this week's episode of 9-1-1after seeing Hen (Aisha Hinds) start the episode with a classic '80s movie montage of her trying on different outfits. And we do, but unfortunately, that movie is Sixteen Candles, which I didn't like when I saw it. See, as it turns out, in 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 13, "Invisible," pretty much everybody has forgotten Hen's birthday. This is not in the "fun" tropey way that I dislike anyways, either, where everyone pretends to have forgotten in order to make the eventual surprise party that much sweeter. They have actually forgotten – even her literal wife, Karen (Tracie Thoms), platonic soulmate, Chimney (Kenneth Choi), and her mother, Toni (Marsha Warfield), who birthed her!
