'9-1-1' Season 8 Episode 17 Review: An Off-Key Return to Formula, And Why Are My Favorite Characters Being So Mean to Each Other?
Without Bobby Nash, 9-1-1 continues to feel off-key as characters deal with the grief of losing their captain.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 17.After last week's lackluster funeral episode for Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), I was feeling particularly wary about where the last two episodes of Season 8 of 9-1-1 would go, especially with the knowledge that they'd consist of another two-part emergency. The penultimate episode of the season, "Don't Drink the Water," is a significant improvement from "The Last Alarm." We get a sweet Bobby flashback, some moments of humor that feel like the old 9-1-1, and more of a focus on Buck (Oliver Stark), Eddie (Ryan Guzman), and Hen's (Aisha Hinds) grief.
