Sick Day

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.

Genuinely one of the best episodes!! It was intense, thrilling and kept me on the edge of my seat (and close to tears). Literally had all the things I love so much about this show - why I became obsessed with it during S1. The teamwork and bond is so special between them and it only adds to why this episode was superior. It really brought back all the emotions and memories as to why I binge watched every episode as soon as I started. Amazing work, cannot wait for the next part.

And so happy Ravi finally got more screentime. He's such a great addition. Loving the Buck and Ravi friendship too.

Crossing my fingers they all make it out alive next week!!

Truly one of the best episodes in 8B. The acting is phenomenal and Oliver stark truly shows some of the best emotion I've ever seen before. I understand people are upset Eddie isn't there, but this is only HALF of the story for this story line. We never know what could happen next! I think it was very well thought out and I get chills every time I think of buck yelling trying to get help. I've been a fan of this show for so so long, and it truly just keeps getting better and better. Glad it was renewed and hopefully it gets many more seasons. I can't wait for next week to see what plays out next!

Great episode, very intense. A petty bureaucrat and an unethical scientist being the real villains, so true. I'm a bit confused by Athena's insistence on not letting her kids stay with her, especially since Harry is barely 18 at most. But eh, at least they're both back. I liked Ravi's arc in this episode, and that he and Buck returned to their normal dynamics.

""Sick Day" is one of 9-1-1 BEST EPISODES in a long time, it actually reminded me the tsunami arc in S3, the stakes felt so high leaving it every at stand still for our beloved characters, the show needs more thrills like these in order to continue for many more seasons.

I really liked how fast-paced and tension-filled this episode was. It really set things up well for us to hurtle into the next episode!

It was great seeing Kenneth Choi's acting as always, and he's able to communicate so much even when his character is ill (for the second time!). I also enjoyed seeing more of Ravi/Anirudh Pisharody!

One part that stood out to me was the back-and-forth between Athena and Dr. Banting, the lab director. I thought Sean Krishnan did really well opposite Angela Bassett there. The episode seemed to be inspired by the 1995 film Outbreak, and I liked how Dr. Banting occupied a different and interesting role, and I thought the character was engaging and funny (the HR comment was too funny). I liked how they added the military involvement (like the film) as well. I'm very interested to see what might be similar and different from Outbreak in the next episode.

Overall, it was great seeing some characters we hadn't seen for a while like Corinne Massiah and Elijah Cooper, plus new guest stars... that helped it feel fresh and I'm excited to see where they go with this group next week!
