More about 9-1-1 Season 8

Episode 16 came in the silhouette of a farewell to a well-known character. As seen in episode 16 titled “The Last Alarm,” Athena and the show say their final goodbye to Bobby as the team loses their captain.

To briefly recap Episode 16: in a series of heart-breaking scenes, Chimney deals with grief and the worst of all…survivor’s guilt, which in turn leads to a challenging scene that Buck helps him get through.

The funeral montage brings fans to tears as Bobby’s jacket and helmet are kept on a fire truck before his casket is taken to St. Paul.

The drama now changes focus to what lies ahead for the 118 in episode 17, and fans can’t wait to see what comes next.


As 9-1-1 Season 8 crawls to its finale, episode 17 is set to push the story forward while honouring the burden of previous events.

With its May 8 release and a wide-ranging streaming availability, fans have every reason to stay glued to their screens.
