The car eventually crashes but only the woman is found when responders arrive. Sympathizing with the woman, Maddie visits her at the hospital and meets a nurse named Amir. The "husband", who is actually a stalker trying to replace his wife and child who left him, crashes into a police car while fleeing with a newly-kidnapped mother and is promptly apprehended by Athena and the 118. When Bobby returns the baby to her mother at the hospital, Amir recognizes him. Hen and Karen reunite Mara with her younger half-brother who was adopted by another family. Eddie encounters a woman, Kim, who is the spitting image of Shannon and begins an emotional affair with her.

Amir, who turns out to be a survivor of the devastating Minnesota apartment fire that Bobby caused during his drinking days, appears at Bobby's AA meeting. His talk compels Bobby to try and make amends. When Amir is attacked and wounded by a drug cartel during a relief movement in Jacumba, Bobby sets out to rescue him while grappling with painful boyhood memories of his father, a decorated firefighter whose own drinking and abusive behavior cost him his career, his family, and finally his life. After the two narrowly evade capture by the cartel and are rescued by the relief workers, Amir affirms that, while appreciative of his aid, he does not forgive Bobby.
105	9	"Ashes, Ashes"	Christine Khalafian	Andrew Meyers & Juan Carlos Coto	May 23, 2024 (2024-05-23)	7LAY09	4.54
The 118 and Tommy are gifted medals of valor for their roles in the cruise ship rescue. Bobby is also gifted one without his prior knowledge. He refuses to wear it and later tells Fire Chief Simpson that he plans on retiring. This is met with fierce opposition from Athena, who recruits Amir to help uplift him. Initially willing, Amir storms out after seeing how good of a life Bobby has built following the Minnesota fire. Meanwhile, Buck encounters Kim at the firehouse and confronts Eddie about it, prompting Eddie to confess to Kim about Shannon. Kim later shows up with her hair styled like Shannon’s and induces an outpouring of festered feelings from Eddie about his late wife. The two hug just as Christopher and Marisol enter. At the same time, in an act of revenge against Hen for her son’s death, Councilwoman Ortiz cancels Mara's adoption hearing; after Hen confronts her, she strips the Wilsons of their foster license and has Mara removed from their household. Later, after being taunted by his father in a dream, Bobby awakes to his house on fire. He saves Athena before suffering a heart attack.
106	10	"All Fall Down"	John J. Gray	Kristen Reidel & Lyndsey Beaulieu	May 30, 2024 (2024-05-30)	7LAY10	5.19
Marisol leaves Eddie following the Kim incident while Christopher refuses to speak and has his grandparents move him to Texas for the indefinite future, having deemed the situation too unhealthy to be in. Athena confronts Amir, who she believes to be the perpetrator of the fire which destroyed her house and incapacitated Bobby, but they are interrupted by the cartel, out for revenge after Amir inadvertently killed one of their members in Jacumba. Alluding that they were responsible for the fire as Bobby had associated with him, Amir offers himself to the cartel peaceably. Athena later saves Amir from the factory that the cartel takes him to, helping him overcome his trauma when a fire breaks out. Maddie and Chimney foster Mara while Hen and Karen work on recuperating their license. Bobby recovers and, after a heart-to-heart with Amir, returns to the firehouse. There, the 118 are met with former captain Vincent Gerrard, who abruptly publicizes Bobby’s retirement plans before announcing that he himself will be taking over as captain, much to everyone's dismay.

107	1	"Buzzkill"	James Wong	Molly Green & James Leffler	September 26, 2024 (2024-09-26)	8LAY01	4.93
Hen and Karen make progress with regaining their foster license; Hen notices that Chimney and Mara are growing close. Buck and Tommy help Eddie throw a birthday party for Christopher over video call, but Christopher is vacant and eventually leaves to celebrate with new friends, much to Eddie's dismay. Bobby is now a technical advisor for a firefighting TV show "Hotshots"; he is undermined by production but idolized by the lead actor, Brad Torrence. A truck carrying 22 million killer bees crashes downtown, threatening the lives of a mother and daughter and, later, the attendees of a perfume party. Buck's initiative allows the 118 to handle both situations efficiently, but he is punished by Gerrard for unruliness. Buck later saves Gerrard from a flying circular saw but knocks him unconscious in the process. Meanwhile, Athena escorts her first fiancé's killer, Dennis Jenkins ("Athena Begins"), to L.A. so he can testify in a trafficking case in exchange for freedom. En route, she detains a fake officer who tries to take Dennis into his own custody; Dennis reveals that someone wants him dead. They passenger an L.A.-bound plane which, due to the bees obstructing visibility, violently collides with another plane.
108	2	"When the Boeing Gets Tough..."	Bradley Buecker	Ted Griffin & Tim Minear	October 3, 2024 (2024-10-03)	8LAY02	4.92
Before the planes collide, Dennis tells Athena that he is being targeted because the perpetrator of the trafficking case, who was his cellmate, confided in him. The collision kills the pilots of both planes and creates two holes in Athena's — one in the cockpit that incapacitates the co-pilot, and another in the back of the fuselage. While Gerrard is taken to the hospital, the 118, via phone call, aids the plane's passengers in treating casualties. Athena attempts to fly the plane herself with the help of flight instructors on the ground and a young aviation enthusiast on-board. The co-pilot eventually awakens but suffers a heart attack shortly after. Meanwhile, all fire stations are directed to LAX; Buck travels there separately after retrieving Bobby (and Brad) from their show's set and taking a prop fire truck for transport.
109	3	"Final Approach"	Bradley Buecker	Tim Minear & Ted Griffin	October 10, 2024 (2024-10-10)	8LAY03	5.52
Passengers on the plane take turns performing CPR on the co-pilot. The plane's rudder becomes damaged, removing its ability to turn. This eliminates LAX as a landing place; Athena instead aims for the 110 freeway, with Buck, Brad, and Bobby clearing part of it in preparation. The plane is successfully landed but a fire breaks out while the passengers are disembarking, threatening Athena, who stayed behind to continue CPR on the co-pilot. The fire stations arrive and the 118 and Bobby extinguish the fire and rescue Athena. Afterwards, Bobby deters a pair of detectives from locating Athena and Dennis, and the three go to LAX's long-term car park to retrieve a book detailing the trafficker's associates. A detective follows them, reveals himself to be a fake and shoots at Bobby; Dennis takes the bullet and stabs the detective, allowing for his detainment. Athena passes the book to trusted investigators and later has a heart-to-heart with Dennis, absolving herself of the resentment she held towards him over his past actions. Meanwhile, Gerrard returns to the 118 and is uncharacteristically beholden towards Buck, much to everyone's surprise and confusion.
110	4	"No Place Like Home"	Marita Grabiak	Lyndsey Beaulieu	October 17, 2024 (2024-10-17)	8LAY04	4.16
Athena makes plans to rebuild her and Bobby's house. Gerrard prepares to lay off 12% of the firehouse due to budget issues; he later mandates all firefighters wear bodycams. Emergencies include a cheerleader with a twisted pelvis and a pet tiger attacking its owner and his landlord; Eddie, missing Christopher, confronts the cheerleader's absent father, helping repair their relationship. At her adoption hearing, Mara risks being returned to group housing after the Wilsons are revealed to have continued contact following her removal from their household. Councilwoman Olivia Ortiz, still bitter over her son's death, rebuffs Hen's pleas for mercy before revealing that she was the one who reassigned Gerrard to the 118. Hen and Bobby inform Gerrard of this, but Gerrard only urges Ortiz to shut down the 118 to solve the budget issues. The 118 fights against this in court, and Ortiz's reputation is ruined after it is revealed that Gerrard used his bodycam to record her schemes. Mara is reunited with the Wilsons and Bobby returns to the 118 as captain, with Gerrard taking on his technical advisor role.
111	5	"Masks"	Christine Khalafian	Taylor Wong	October 24, 2024 (2024-10-24)	8LAY05	3.98
A discontented Karen interrogates Hen on her continued absence during the holidays due to work. Athena lectures a classroom about Halloween road safety but is disrupted by dismissive students. Eddie laments over Christopher outgrowing Halloween. Buck unknowingly decorates the 118 Haunt Fest with a real corpse and terrifies a group of children by dislocating its left shoulder before dislocating his own during a subsequent call. Recuperating at home with Tommy, Buck learns that the corpse was once a boil-covered cowboy who was betrayed by his own posse. Buck awakes the next morning covered in boils, which, coupled with his injury, leads him to believe he has been cursed; Eddie and Tommy remain skeptical. On Halloween, Athena and the 118 deal with various inoffensive calls before responding to a car crash brought on by a man who car-chased the aforementioned students after they egged his home; the excursion kills the man and pins Denny against a house. Denny’s heart stops, but, thanks to a blood transfusion from Karen and CPR from Hen, he is revived and recovers at the hospital. Hen and Karen reconcile. Buck and Tommy visit the corpse’s grave, and Buck "lifts the curse" by giving a monologue about the importance of companionship.
112	6	"Confessions"	Chad Lowe	Andrew Meyers	November 7, 2024 (2024-11-07)	8LAY06	4.16
Tommy offhandedly reveals to Buck that he was previously engaged to Abby Clark while he was still closeted; Maddie and Josh reassure Buck that his concerns over Tommy’s alleged insincerity are false. Eddie attends confession and professes his guilt concerning Christopher but rejects the priest’s suggestions of penance; he later runs into the priest in public, who discerns that Eddie’s newly-grown mustache is a disguise for his woes. Maddie suggests the prospect of a second child to Chimney, who is apprehensive due to the severity of Maddie’s prior post-partum depression. Emergencies include a deranged wife stealing her mother-in-law’s ashes, a cheating man sneezing his guts out, and a young boy who aids the rescue of his little brother from a hole in the ground. The latter emergency warms Chimney to Maddie’s suggestions; Maddie reveals that she is already pregnant. Buck discloses his past relationship with Abby to Tommy and asks Tommy to move in with him; Tommy, believing that he is only Buck’s “first” and not his “last”, ends their intensifying relationship to avoid heartbreak. Eddie shaves his mustache and dances around his home in a show of self-liberation. A dejected Buck arrives, and the two drink in contrasting silence.
113	7	"Hotshots"	Keith Tripler	Lyndsey Beaulieu & Aisha Casey	November 14, 2024 (2024-11-14)	8LAY07	4.01
Buck bakes excessively as a way to dissuade himself from contacting Tommy; he deduces Maddie’s pregnancy during a dinner with her and Chimney. Athena injures her leg while intercepting a gang robbery and is subsequently assigned an assistant rookie officer, Sparks, who tells her that he entered the occupation after noticing that policemen were the only thing that instilled fear into his abusive father; Athena replaces Sparks after noticing his egotism amidst their dismantlement of the previous gang, and she later witnesses him accidentally shoot an uncooperative innocent during a call. Brad, preferring Bobby to Gerrard, sabotages the latter’s job, resulting in the injury of a stuntman. Simpson implores Bobby to mentor Gerrard, who confesses Brad’s mistreatment of him thereafter. Bobby takes Brad to dinner in an attempt to quell the latter’s antagonisms but ends up aggressively admonishing him after he mistreats a waitress; the moment is filmed and goes viral, only adding to Brad’s admiration for Bobby to where he acquires approval to shadow him at the 118.
114	8	"Wannabes"	Bradley Buecker	Molly Green & James Leffler	November 21, 2024 (2024-11-21)	8LAY08	4.60
Athena is called to a parking lot where a vigilante self-dubbed "The Cart Cop" has made it his mission to shame people who refuse to return their carts to the corral. The 118 responds to a multi-car accident due to a wastewater explosion in the street, and they help rescue a stuck couple from their car that is filling up with water. Brad, desperate to help, carries a young woman out of her car, but gets admonished by Bobby for moving a patient without a C-collar, and is told that he is an observer, not a member of the team. Eddie and Brad talk about fatherhood and their sons. Later, the 118 is dispatched to help a man who has been recently laid off and separated from his wife and contemplating suicide. When he spots Brad on the scene, Bobby asks him to help. The two of them make a pact to stay alive, though Brad's commitment is on behalf of his Hotshots character Captain Race Banner. After, Buck goes over to Eddie's house and is caught off guard when he learns that Eddie is considering moving to El Paso to be closer to Christopher.
