Maddie Returns to Work in ‘9-1-1’ Season 8, Episode 12
Maddie reveals to Chim (Kenneth Choi) that she’s been having night terrors about work and wants to go back in the video above. “You’re having night terrors about work so you want to go back to work?” Chim asks, puzzled by the logic. Maybe she’s trying to confront her fears instead of giving in to them — the only upside tothe kidnapping. However, they get the best of her when she returns to her desk and takes a call from a boy whose dad has passed out from smoke inhalation. Maddie directs the 118 to the scene, but in the middle of the emergency, she starts choking. She can neither breathe nor talk, similar to when her throat was slit. Bobby (Peter Krause) and the boy try to reach her without success. Did she make a mistake by returning to work this soon?
The video avoids revealing what is happening withEddie in El Paso. However, showrunnerTim Minearpreviewed to The Wrap what Eddie’s story looks like.
“You are going to see Eddie in El Paso. Eddie’s story is really about trying to reconnect with his kid and do the right thing. And I think he may be leaning too far in one direction, but Eddie will eventually find his balance and restore gravity to his world with his kid. You can look forward to seeing that in upcoming episodes.”
