9-1-1 Recap: Crouching Tiger, Broken Pelvis


A crappy CGI tiger and the phrase “A cheerleader is ass-backwards” make for a delightful no plot, just vibes episode.

The team has been enlisted in a pilot program that will have them all wearing body cams when interacting with the public — which is not a bad idea as far as I’m concerned, both because I believe in transparency and because I’d like to see a shaky-cam found-footage-style episode of 9-1-1. The second horrific injury of the week belongs to Carl Gates, a patient at the hospital who swears his pit bull mauled him but whose gruesome claw marks recall Griffin Dunne in An American Werewolf in London. • I don’t know if we’re meant to believe that Gerrard is a literal closet case, but his behavior on the Hotshots set — specifically his fangirling over hunky Brit actor Brad Torrance — also feels more than a little gay!
