9-1-1 Recap: Family Feud

When I said last week that I had faith in the writers to wrap up the rest of this season, I knew I was once again dooming myself to a backslide. It makes sense that the fallout from Bobby’s death would be ongoing, and I again commend 9-1-1 for not rushing closure. At the same time, the drawn-out dénouement makes for a wildly scattered penultimate episode, which tries to combine everyone’s lingering trauma with a high-stakes citywide emergency and some awkward comedic beats.
