Season 9 of 9-1-1 is approaching, with unresolved storylines from season 8 including Athena's grieving process after Bobby's death, Eddie and Christopher returning to LA, and Maddie and Chimney's new parenting roles. Fans hope to see Athena's continued healing and focus on family alongside potential romantic developments between Buck and Eddie. Tensions have been building between Buck and Eddie, leading fans to anticipate a canonical relationship, which would mark a new direction for their friendship since it has included increasingly romantic undertones in prior seasons.
Athena has never had a smooth ride when it comes to romance. Her first love, Emmett, was murdered while they were engaged, her second husband, Michael, was secretly gay, and her third husband, Bobby, well... Athena struggled with her grief - as well as her anger at the circumstances surrounding Bobby's death - across the last few episodes.
Some may say we're delusional, but with everything that happened between Buck and Eddie in season 8 it really feels like the show is actually inching towards a Buddie romance once and for all.
For years, the show has featured little moments that have felt more romantic than strictly-platonic-bro-vibes between the two, but season 8's Buck and Eddie hijinks have been a hell of a lot more than just crumbs.
In the spirit of new beginnings, here's a list of things we really want to see in season 9... Athena's healing journey, Buddie going canon.
