Did The 9-1-1 Season 8 Finale Cancel The Opportunity For Major Fan Service Reunion?

For instance, those hoping for a Buck and Eddie romance on 9-1-1 can give up on this happening now that Buck is beginning to look for his own place while maintaining that Eddie’s house never truly felt like home. This drives an unnecessary physical wedge between the two, who could likely coexist as roommates with little issue. However, Buck’s move ties into another major plot point that calls into question the likelihood of other characters appearing in the franchise again.

9-1-1 Season 8 Ends With Chim Convincing Eddie To Stay In Los Angeles

Eddie Doesn’t Even Question Chim’s Authority To Give That Order

If it wasn’t going to be Hen, then Chim replacing Bobby in 9-1-1 always made the next best sense. He began the first season butting heads with Bobby over wanting more responsibility, and he was one of the most shattered by Bobby’s death. But Chim truly shows his leadership skills when he convinces Eddie to return from Texas with a speech about the legacy of the family Bobby created at the 118. Not only does Eddie agree to move back from El Paso, but Buck also calls off his plan to transfer to another station.

Eddie Leaving Texas Eliminates The Easiest Opportunity For A 9-1-1: Lone Star Reunion

The Spinoff Characters Were Mere Hours Away From Eddie And Christopher

Had he not still been reliant on his parents to help care for Christopher, Eddie’s initial struggles to find a job in El Paso would have been easily solvable. If he were to move eight or nine hours down the road, Eddie could have used his connections from the 9-1-1: Lone Star season 2 crossover to get a job with Judd in Austin. He gets along with Judd and Marjan, with a strong likelihood that he’d connect with TK and Carlos as well if given more time together.9-1-1: Lone Star is coming to an end after season 5, and some of the spinoff’s characters deserve to join the original procedural series on ABC.

Could 9-1-1 Still Feature Lone Star Cameos In The Future?

There Are More Marketable Cameos To Feature Right Now

With Bobby’s life ended by one of 9-1-1’s most memorable villains, the 126 in Austin is no longer the only station in the franchise to undergo a recent change in leadership. This alone means the characters could share some relatable talking points, but the reality is that 9-1-1 isn’t as likely to do a crossover with a canceled series while trying to promote a newer spinoff. If the 118 were going to cross over with any other crew in the franchise, then such an event would more likely feature the crew of the upcoming 9-1-1: Nashville.
