Warning: Contains Spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 9.9-1-1: Lone Star returns to Fox on Monday, January 20 with only three installments left in its run. Season 5, episode 9, "Fall From Grace," served as the winter finale and put to rest several ongoing storylines that kept fans on the edge of their seats. After spending the past year obsessing over his father's murder case, Carlos finally receives closure. He discovers that Chief Bridges killed Gabriel and Ranger Campbell had been set up to take the fall. Carlos is last seen visiting his father's grave, proclaiming that he's ready to be a parent to Jonah alongside Tk.

The season's biggest shake-up occurred when series regular, Sierra McClain, exited Lone Star ahead of the final batch of episodes. Judd reveals that his wife is volunteering with Mercy Ships, a real organization that sends hospital ships to those who need medical care.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!

In the fall finale episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star, Carlos (Rafael Silva) finally learned the true identity of his father’s killer.

Though it seemed his new partner Campbell (Parker Young) sold out criminal informants and then killed Gabriel Reyes, he was actually set up by Chief Bridges (Alan Autry).

Campbell then saved Carlos’ life, taking out Chief Bridges during a standoff with the Rangers.

Making Chief Bridges the one who killed Gabriel goes back to Season 4, co-showrunner Rashad Raisani explained to TV Insider.

“We realized quickly that Alan Autry was gold, and so we really wanted to give him as much interesting stuff as possible,” he said, adding that they researched real-life police and saw that high-level DEA agents were giving tips to attorneys for cartels.

“I was like, wow, what a very specific and interesting form of corruption,” he said.

Even though many things were going on in the 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 finale, one of the standout moments concerned Judd and how he had been dealing with Grace's frustrating exit. As many know, Sierra McClain, who began playing Grace in season 1 of the Fox procedural drama, exited the series ahead of season 5 (reportedly due to contract negotiations). So, the writers had to cut Grace from the final season's story. Unfortunately, though, Grace's 9-1-1: Lone Star exit was so disappointing, thanks to one glaring issue, and the fall finale surely didn't fix the character's upsetting departure.

Following the season 5 fall finale, 9-1-1: Lone Star is going on a seven-week hiatus before returning on Monday, January 20, 2025, at 8 pm Et on Fox. Then, only one episode remains until...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 9!9-1-1: Lone Star showrunner Rashad Raisani explains how Gabriel's killer was chosen, and which character was almost made into the true culprit. During 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 9, it was confirmed that Ranger Bridges (Alan Autry) had killed Carlos' (Rafael Silva) father, despite how suspicious he'd been that Ranger Campbell (Parker Young) had been responsible. The reveal ties up the major loose end from season 4, while also giving the young man a new path forward as the show hurtles toward its final episodes.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, however, Raisani explained how Gabriel's murder in 9-1-1: Lone Star was almost solved in a single episode. However, upon seeing Autry's performance as Bridges, it was changed into a season-long mystery, with him as the culprit. Plans changed once again when Young was cast as Campbell,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 9 “Fall From Grace.”] The good news: Carlos (Rafael Silva) finally closes the case on his father’s murder. The bad news: The truth about what happened is a tough pill to swallow. But 9-1-1: Lone Star, in its last fall finale, delivers answers and ends its 2024 on a promising note for Tarlos. Though it looked like Carlos’ new partner Campbell (Parker Young) was dirty and had sold out criminal informants then killed Gabriel Reyes, he was, in fact, set up by Chief Bridges (Alan Autry). Campbell then saved Carlos’ life, taking out Bridges when he had no choice, during a standoff with the Rangers. “At the end of 508, I thought I was a bad guy,” ...

Warning: This article contains Spoilers from 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 9.

The fall finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star finally reveals the identity of Gabriel Reyes' killer, and it's different from who viewers were led to believe. Carlos is warned not to trust Ranger Campbell at the end of season 5, episode 8, and all signs point to Parker Young's character being the culprit. When Chief Bridges discovers that he accessed confidential case files without authorization, Carlos' suspicions are further confirmed. Campbell runs when confronted at his son's birthday party, but the team eventually tracks him down.

However, while being directed to kill his partner, Carlos states that there is one other person with access to the CIs. Bridges shoots him in response, admitting that he murdered Gabriel and set up Campbell. Before the Chief can finish him off, another shot is fired, and Carlos turns to see...

As Fox airs the last season of 9-1-1: Lone Star, the show has issues to address to wrap up its story, but the series cannot fix one of its biggest mistakes before the finale. The procedural drama is a spinoff of the hit show 9-1-1, which moved from Fox to ABC in 2024 and is in the midst of airing its eighth season. While 9-1-1 has excelled following its transition, 9-1-1: Lone Star is ending after season 5. Some hope that the characters will live on in other 9-1-1 shows, but for now, their stories will end during the season 5 finale.

The fall finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star, "Fall From Grace," season 5 airs on December 2 at 8 pm Et on Fox, and will return on January 20, 2025, at the same time. Meanwhile, the series finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star is scheduled for February 3.

When do new episodes of 9-1-1: Lone Star return? That’s the question on fans’ minds as a repeat episode hits Fox airwaves.

Season 5 of 9-1-1: Lone Star is in full swing, with less than a handful of episodes until the series finale.

However, fans will have two breaks before we say farewell to the 126 for good, and one will be long.

The first hiatus begins tonight, which really shouldn’t surprise anyone, considering it’s a holiday week.

Instead of a new episode, Fox is airing Season 5, Episode 1, titled Both Sides Now.

There’s some good news, though, regarding the return of 9-1-1: Lone Star.

When do new episodes of 9-1-1: Lone Star return?

A promo for the episode shows Owen...

Following the death of actor Fred Ward, several of his former costars, including Kevin Bacon, Matthew Modine, Lou Diamond Phillips, Richard E. Grant, and Kate Mulgrew, shared their memories of working with the charmingly gruff star.

Bacon shared a photo of himself and Ward from the 1990 cult hit “Tremors,” writing, “So sad to hear about Fred Ward. When it came to battling underground worms I couldn’t have asked for a better partner. I will always remember chatting about his love of Django Reinhardt and jazz guitar during our long hot days in the high desert. Rest In Peace Fred.” The two reunited in 2018 for a “Tremors” TV pilot that sadly was not picked up.

Could director Walter Hill's Southern Comfort be one of the most underrated thrillers of the 80s? Samantha takes a look back...

Southern Comfort must be one of the most underrated of thrillers. Uncomfortably tense and undeniably menacing, this film masterfully leaves us on edge from start to finish. But apart from the atmosphere and tension it creates so well, this is a distinctive film that stays with you long after you’ve seen it. There’s an undercurrent to the story that’s unavoidable, making Southern Comfort an intriguing and very clever film that undoubtedly deserves far more recognition in cinema history.

Set in 1973 in the bayous of Louisiana, a squad of National Guards incur the anger of the local Cajun people while on a training exercise and end up having to fight for their survival as they are hunted through the swamps.

Southern Comfort

Stars: Keith Carradine, Powers Boothe, Fred Ward, Franklyn Seales, T.K. Carter, Lewis Smith, Peter Coyote, Alan Autry, Brion James, Sonny Landham | Written by Michael Kane, Walter Hill, David Giler | Directed by Walter Hill

There is something about Walter Hill’s style of storytelling that just gets me. I’m a big fan of The Warriors, even though it took me long enough to finally see the film. Once I finally got to see it though it turned into one of my favourite films. Southern Comfort is a film very much like The Warriors, written and directed by Hill it very much mirrors the style with a group of men out of their element and fighting for survival, though the city and the bayou are two very different “jungles”.

When out on a training exercise in the Louisiana swamp a squad of National Guard soldiers arrogantly decide to steal...

I enjoy all four of the House films because they strike a chord with me from my wonder years, but Steve Miner’s original has to be my favorite. The movie came out of left field in 1986 and became a box-office hit and a fan favorite. Almost three decades later, egad!, it is still a blueprint on how to make a great horror-comedy. Suffice to say, it is a true Late Night Classic.

For those of you wondering what is the deal with House III (The Horror Show), the answers are right here.

Jason Bene: The story for House was written by your pal Fred Dekker. What kind of changes, if any, did you have to make for the final script?

Ethan Wiley: Fred and I were roommates at UCLA and we had worked together on various plays, short films, and we even wrote my stand-up comedy routines together.
