9-1-1 Contagion is one of the best, if not the best, multi-part disaster the series has done. It's right up there with the tsunami. The final part keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end, which is an emotional gut punch. It can be very sad and emotional AND be a stellar episode of TV. Those things are not mutually exclusive. It's a shame to see so many negative reviews for an episode of TV that had so much action, so much heart, and so many emotional character moments. The actors were all the best they've ever been. And the show has been on for eight seasons so that is saying something. This episode will definitely mark a turning point in the series, but after being on TV for nearly a decade, a shake up is necessary to keep things fresh. This doesn't mean I'm not devastated, just that I can see the necessity. And in my opinion every move that was made was earned from a character and story perspective. I am gutted but I look forward to what's next. And this episode will go down as one of the best the series has ever done.

I always look forward to the action-packed multi-part emergencies that 9-1-1 has become known for each season. The tsunami episodes of Season 3 are an all-time fave and this one is quickly becoming tied for that title. I love a good thriller and this episode kept me edge of my seat for the full hour. Everyone brought their A game - cast, crew, writer, director, etc. Oliver Stark (Buck), Anirudh Pisharody (Ravi), and Kenneth Choi (Chimney) were stand-outs for me, delivering some of their best performances yet. This episode is a prime example of what makes 9-1-1 so compelling - a strong team dynamic, over-the-top action, writing that is heartwarming, thrilling, and funny all at the same time, and so much heart.
