Tonight’s the night 9-1-1 fans have feared for a full week.
After an agonizing seven day stretch, we’re finally about to witness Part 2 of 9-1-1: Contagion and learn if Chimney dies, if Bobby dies, if ANYONE dies, and how the gripping thriller concludes.
For those who need a refresher, Part 1 of 9-1-1: Contagion saw the 118 report to a research lab for a run-of-the-mill fire emergency that turned into a deadly biohazard situation. While Buck and Athena are safe outside desperately searching for a fix, Bobby, Hen, Ravi, and Chimney are trapped inside the lab, on lockdown, and exposed to a deadly virus.
While Ravi and Bobby survived the lab explosion largely unscathed, Hen’s life was in danger due to a collapsed lung, which Bobby seems to have treated by performing an emergency surgery with coaching from Chimney. The reason Chim couldn’t perform the procedure himself? His mask shattered in the blast, causing him to experience firsthand exposure to the airborne virus.
Since rogue lab worker Moira (Bridget Regan) modified the virus strain and shortened the incubation period to 90 minutes, Chimney’s health is at serious risk. When the episode wrapped, Moira was on the run with the only antidote to the deadly virus, so to save the day, Athena and authorities will have to track her down.
Per ABC, the official synopsis for Season 8, Episode 15, “Lab Rats” is as follows, “Athena and Buck are in a race against time to rescue the rest of the 118 following the fire in the bio lab.”
Based on where we left the 118 and the teaser for what’s to come, 815 is sure to be a must-watch episode that fans won’t want to miss. Is 9-1-1 on tonight, April 17? What time is 9-1-1 on? And how to watch 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 15 live and online? We’ve got you covered.
