‘9-1-1’ Creator Breaks Down Buck and Eddie’s Hellish Episode 13 Road Trip

Note: This story contains spoilers from “9-1-1” Season 9, Episode 13.

“9-1-1” thrives when it deviates from its formula in exchange for a very tense, character-focused episode, as it does in this week’s installment spotlighting Buck and Eddie.

Episode 13, titled “Mother’s Boy,” followed the aftermath of last week’s “9-1-1” crossover event in Nashville. After their flight faced massive delays, Buck (Oliver Stark) and Eddie (Ryan Guzman) opted to rent a car and drive back to Los Angeles instead.
