| Fantastic episode. | |
| Amazing episode. | |
| It's rare for them to start out on the highest point of the episode. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But this one did it. | |
| It was amazing. | |
| I mean, that is kind of like the formula of 9-1-1 is like you kind of start off with something kind of crazy, but it's usually not the highlight. | |
| But this one was great. | |
| So this is what I have written down, because what's happening is we're opening up and it's like at a at like a It's like a plaza. | |
| Like a plaza. | |
| Like an open plaza where you would see like food carts and shit. | |
| Exactly. | |
| In between a bunch of skyscrapers. | |
| Like a hot dog or something like that. | |
| Yeah, we're, oh, I wrote down what she was getting because it was really stupid. | |
| What was she getting? | |
| We're looking at a really hot, successful businesswoman. | |
| Like a businesswoman that Romy and Michelle want to be. | |
| And she is buying two incredibly bland looking salads. | |
| Is that what it is? | |
| Absolutely not a food that will get you through the rest of your desk job. | |
| Just salads. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Love that. | |
| Love that. | |
| And she's having a conversation with her boyfriend, who we find out very, very fast, is on the roof of one of these buildings. | |
| Yeah, she's like texting her boyfriend. | |
| She's like, oh, are you coming? | |
| And he's like, oh yeah, like I'll be right down. | |
| Be right down is so good. | |
| And we see that he's standing on top of a skyscraper in a dorky suit wearing like base jumping gear. | |
| I love that he was in a suit. | |
| He was in like a full suit, but also base jumping gear, helmet, parachute, the whole nine. | |
| And because this is 9-1-1, you're thinking, oh my God, this guy's parachute's going to fail when he... because it's obvious what's happening here. | |
| You're thinking like, yeah, this guy's a noob. | |
| This is not going to go well. | |
| Like he doesn't really know how to face jump. | |
| He's going to splat on that marble plaza. | |
| And even if some freak thing's gonna happen, to where, like, this is gonna- and you know- you kind of already know what's gonna happen, because it's pretty cliche. | |
| He's clearly going to base jump and gonna propose to her when he lands. | |
| Yeah. | |
| The episode's called Love is in the Air, you know something's coming, and this is the thing that's coming, but this is 9-1-1. | |
| So a base jumper's parachute failing is too simple. | |
| Yeah, it's too easy. | |
| You're not going to let us off the hook. | |
| So to our chagrin, our man lands and he flawlessly does a great job. | |
| Yeah, it's a killer. | |
| He lands right in front of her. | |
| Um, and he's about to, uh, he's about to propose. | |
| He's on his knee. | |
| I don't think he gets the question out yet. | |
| No, he like presents. | |
| He gets down onto his knee. | |
| Oh no, he actually does. | |
| Cause I took another stupid fucking note about this too, because how he proposed really disgusted me. | |
| Oh yeah. | |
| He's so good. | |
| He does say that. | |
| He base jumps to girlfriend and then says, after saying, I'll be right down. | |
| And then he like gets down on his knee and he's like, I know I'm always asking you to jump with me on weekends, but now all I want is for you to take this lover's loop, which is something I've never heard before and I never want to hear again. | |
| He's like, take this leap with me. | |
| It's like, you fucking, what are you talking about, you nerd? | |
| But again, this is 9-1-1. | |
| So these things, this is all going all too smooth. | |
| And you got a feeling because you see, you see his parachute in the street. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You see it. | |
| He didn't like take it off. | |
| He didn't detach himself from it. | |
| And it's just in the street. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So you already kind of know what's going to happen because this is 9-1-1. | |
| You know, what's going to happen. | |
| Sure enough, his parachute gets caught by a truck. | |
| The truck speeds off. | |
| The truck speeds off, dragging this man behind him. | |
| Our man speeds with it. | |
| And she just immediately calls 9-1-1, just knows what to do. | |
| And because this is 9-1-1, this is still not enough. | |
| This is all too easy. | |
| Yeah, it's not just a guy in a truck. | |
| She calls 9-1-1, and I think it's Maddie that answers. | |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt. | |
| And she's like, the truck hit his parachute and it drug him off. | |
| And Maddie's like, yeah, that was a bank robber. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| It was a great truck. | |
| That was a bank robber. | |
| What do you mean it's a bank robber? | |
| Why does this panicked woman need to know that it was a bank robber? | |
| That's not her problem. | |
| That's not her problem. | |
| Also, that's going to make it much more stressful as it did for us, the viewer, because you're like, oh no, now this person does have an incentive not to slow down. | |
| There is a reason why they're going way too fast because they take off real fast. | |
| Yeah, they like they like peeled around the corner and then like hit the gas. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| And and while this is happening, of course, because this is a bank robber, a bank robbers must be pursued. | |
| And because this is this is the show we're watching, it's the best show in the world. | |
| Of course, it's Athena, the one cop on the show that we have in the show. | |
| The the the queen cop, Athena Angela Bassett, is the one chasing the car. | |
| And she's like having like dialogue with the truck. | |
| Yeah, she's just talking through her loudspeaker and she's just like, pull over like you've got nowhere to go. | |
| They gave you you know, they gave you a dummy pack. | |
| Yeah, they gave money. | |
| They gave you dummy money. | |
| Like, don't even bother. | |
| And then The driver, dude, decides to verify that while he's driving. | |
| No one else is driving for him. | |
| Just him. | |
| And he checks, and it fucking explodes in his face and causes him to not be able to see where he's going. | |
| Like, pro tip, if you're ever going to check a duffel bag for an explosive dye pack, don't do it while you're driving. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| If you're going to get one thing from this episode, it's that. |
