9-1-1 Recap: Freeway Ex Machina
A solution grounded in reality? This is not why we watch 9-1-1.
Instead, “Final Approach” traded bees for an overly pat ending that hastily tied up all the narrative threads — and without any of the wacky medical emergencies that have been the foundation of this series from the beginning.
