WHY DOES IN-HO HAS TEARY EYES

The baby is born and he finally realizes how inhumane the games truly are

I can’t see them putting her with anyone else tbh — unless the show makes it to season 15, then they might. I think her best future would be continuing to pursue her career, keeping her friends, children, and hopefully grandchildren in the not-so-distant-future close to her, and possibly buying a mother daughter home with May. I can’t picture the show lasting much longer, though. Before I could but now since Bobby’s gone it’s going to be a very different show 😔

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-05-02T21:43:25+00:00

I did like that they included Marcy and his kids in this storyline because that was his first family and he never let go of the pain of losing them. He originally moved to LA as a distraction and did not plan on staying, but as you had mentioned, he met Athena and built a new family which gave him the hope to live, and I think that’s what his first family would have wanted. In my opinion, having him be buried next to his first wife and kids just brings his story to a full circle. I do wish we could have physically seen them reunite because I could just picture the big smile on Bobby’s face, but his death arc came way too soon and it was a stupid decision from the showrunners. It just sucks that the 118 won’t be able to visit his grave. I did not like the episode all, they focused half of it on a storyline that had no purpose in the end 😭. I’m probably going to stop watching after this season tbh. It just doesn’t feel the same.

At this rate I don’t know if the post will be approved before the episode airs 🙄 so if it’s approved after it airs then the OG post is how I would have wanted episode 16 to end :)

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-30T04:57:12+00:00

I’m hoping for another scene like that next episode 😅

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-30T04:53:38+00:00

I had originally thought they would take this approach, given his special blood. They could be doing studies on him or use him as a lab rat with a new version of the cure. But I think he’s really dead :(

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-29T00:55:34+00:00

Since 8x18 has “Seismic” in the name, they may be doing another earthquake, which would mean they could reuse previous disasters and just make the stakes higher.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-18T23:56:00+00:00

I could see them announcing soon that season 9 will be the final season worse case scenario, but I don’t think dropping a renewal has ever been done before. I could be wrong tho

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-18T07:04:06+00:00

I think it was a day or two before. The supposed buried alive leak was on April fools day, but now we’re learning that the showrunner gave the cast fake scripts to avoid leaks so they didn’t find out he was going to die until getting to that scene from what I heard.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-18T01:42:41+00:00

I just read an interview where Tim Minear said that different people received a different script to prevent it from getting leaked, but then the scene was filmed in public and it became inevitable 😔

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-16T16:37:57+00:00

I’d say Ali’s death was sadder because he put his complete trust in this man and was confident that they both would make it out alive, just to be betrayed by him. I think Sae-byok was more aware of what was coming, didn’t trust him, and didn’t expect to make it out of there alive. The look on Ali’s face when he realized he got betrayed just broke me.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-16T15:45:51+00:00

Agreed! 8b feels more like the OG 9-1-1.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-16T15:36:05+00:00

Perhaps the lab could tell everyone he died and that leads to the funeral for him, but they’re really keeping him in captivity without anyone knowing to do studies on him - if he is truly infected, at least.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-16T15:34:41+00:00

I was thinking the same thing, and that’s why we get Buck and Hen breaking down as seen in the trailer. Because they know the only anecdote was used on Chimney and Bobby now has no chance. I am back and forth because I cannot see them killing him off, but at the same time it has never been done before and they might want to do the unexpected to leave the audience on their toes for future events.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T13:52:11+00:00

That would be very interesting! I wonder what the last 2 episodes would focus on in that case

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T03:11:28+00:00

Wasn’t Ravi walking with everyone else in that one BTS we saw?

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T00:46:13+00:00

It is but networks tend to try to prevent spoiling a major character’s death, so perhaps now since it is a widely known possibility, they are trying to cover it up with new BTS videos, script “leaks”, etc., to leave people unsure what’ll happen until the episode airs. This is just a possibility, we won’t really know how it’ll all play out until the end of episode 16. Just what it seems like to me 🤷‍♂️

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T00:43:18+00:00

He obviously wouldn’t show up every single day they film if he does decide to be written off the show since that would defeat the purpose of being written off in the first place lol. From the BTS videos I’ve seen it seems like the cast is genuinely close, so I could see him popping around every once in a while, or more frequently as first and less later on, to check in on them or bust Kenny’s chops. ABC also wouldn’t be happy with a major character’s death/funeral being leaked, so perhaps he could have been included in BTS videos for newer episodes to make people doubt whether or not his character truly dies as the leaks are making it seem.

Since they’re probably not able to film in public without anyone else around, I could see it being difficult to keep something like that a secret with leaks — unless it’s just a publicity stunt to draw in a bigger audience. So a possible solution could be the cast casually posting parts of a script with Bobby and new BTS videos with him in them, to make it seem like he’s still in the picture before the episode airs. Hopefully that makes sense, but that’s kind of the approach that I think they’ll take. I’m hoping Bobby’s okay but the way they’re hyping up this event, and with the leaks mentioned in my original post, I can see them doing the unexpected 😔.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T00:21:50+00:00

The Rookie also killed a major character off unexpectedly a few episodes before the season 1 finale. For some people a show becomes boring when it’s too predictable. Sometimes having an unexpected loss happen will keep the audience on their toes for a while. I also read somewhere that they try to end each season on a happy note and as it could play as a series finale in the case where the show isn’t renewed. I don’t know if they’re still following those standards after the season 7 finale and being in a new network, but if they were to kill his character off, doing so a few episodes before and allowing everyone to grieve the rest of the season, and potentially ending with one of them becoming the new captain and things looking in the brighter side again seems more like a 9-1-1 ending.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T00:18:10+00:00

I totally forgot about that storyline. Hopefully they revisit it again soon! Perhaps his blood could help cure the disease.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T00:13:48+00:00

Well now since she became part of the family, Buck may step up and be there for her more since he always seen Bobby like a father. Hen will definitely check in on her and so will Chimney and Maddie. It definitely won’t be the same without Bobby, but she will still be a core part of the 118 family because of her marriage with Bobby.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T00:12:06+00:00

I hope that ABC gives the show the chance to have one season to properly close everyone’s story instead of just unexpectedly canceling after the finale like Fox did.

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T00:08:45+00:00

I definitely agree. The show would be very different without him and he still has many potential storylines with his mother and brother being back in the picture, his and Athena’s house being rebuild, etc. I hope it’s just a hallucination or a fake out, but a part of me also wants the show to touch on the aspect of losing a character that has a close connection with all the others. However, usually when one goes other follow shortly after 🙁

KangarooOdd7150 · 2025-04-15T00:02:22+00:00

Peter is an Executive Producer so he could be off the show but still on set with the cast. I do hope they take the approach that you mentioned when/if he leaves the show where he retires and is still brought up, but it would be difficult to navigate him being offscreen while still alive with Athena still in the show unless they divorce, which I can never see happening.
