i believe in my heart that the theo storyline won't last long. i have seen only season 9 of 911 and while i am having a great time, the writers regularly get bored with long term storylines and drop them. i missed part of the episode and now i guess i'll never know what hen had.
what do i want for season ten? i'm so glad you asked! buddie canon— but only in harry's fever dream. what's that? well, picture this. it's the season ten opener. harry has come into his own, he's in the middle of a big fire set piece, heroically saving everyone even though the rescue keeps getting more and more complex than what they were originally called into. it's a full episode of him being SO good at his job. everyone is so thankful. he really gets into the flow of things, he has a rescuing people montage set to 'holding out for a hero' by bonnie tyler. then there's a moment when it seems he won't make it out and the music cuts out... but he does! he arises from the flames, triumphant and holding someone's cat. he walks up to the team, but they alone are not clapping for him. what. chim's not even yelling at him for pulling that last stunt. and they're not even in turnouts. they're looking... past him? he follows their gazes. it's nothing but bright light. suddenly it's voiceovers from the team drifting in with... medical machines beeping?!
the next few episodes are athena investigating this from the police side and may investigating from the nursing side. and chim losing his mind about, essentially, dropping the team's baby bc he blames himself for harry's fever that won't go away. hen has to step up as captain while he deals with this. she also helps may with one of her medical leads, which ends up cracking the case (bad batch of medicine— it was also making other people mysteriously ill). may & ravi broke up, but we don't find out why until midway through the season. they're very dramatic about it but it's over something really stupid.
buck and eddie are also here. when harry wakes up, he's weird with them bc one of the things (that the audience was supposed to notice and identify as Off) in the fever dream was them being in a relationship. this goes nowhere btw. maybe one of them decides to take up paddleball during a midlife crisis and breaks a shin. the other will never let him live that down.
also we get a new female character. she's another nurse. everyone thinks she's evil and poisoning harry, but then we realize that she isn't and we have ~3 seconds to think on our biases at the end of her character arc before we jump to another end of season montage.
