Bonus: Fanon is Not Enough: Our Thoughts on 8x09 and 8x10 Feat. Justin Gross

Content warning: This episode includes some mild talk of suicide, including a reference in our opening bit. It's all related to the content of 8x09, but if you haven't seen said episode or don't want to relive it, be aware!

Enjoy this already obsolete bonus discussion of 9-1-1 season 8 episodes 9 and 10. Fair warning, this is a bit of a cynical episode in which we air a lot of grievances with season 8 and the general direction of the show. If you were expecting a high-spirits buddiemaxxing episode, this might not be the one for you! We covered a lot of topics, so here are timestamps:
