Buck's tension with Gerrard leads to a surprising ending on the 911 season 8 premiere

As a dedicated gamer of the firefighter simulation game “911,” I can confidently say that season 8 has been nothing short of thrilling! The tension between Evan Buckley (Oliver Stark) and Captain Vincent Gerrard (Brian Thompson) is reminiscent of those pesky AI commanders who never seem to appreciate your efforts in the game.


In the eighth season’s comeback on ABC, everyone was eagerly anticipating 911, and the episode certainly did not disappoint! A fascinating plot point that caught our attention was the heated confrontations between Evan Buckley (Oliver Stark) and Captain Vincent Gerrard (Brian Thompson).

For the past seven years, Buck has served as a firefighter under Captain Robert Nash (Peter Krause). Recently, though, he’s been working under a new captain for three months. Unfortunately, this particular captain isn’t just difficult to work with, but always finds fault with the 118 team’s efforts.

Buck wants to do something about Gerrard in 911 Season 8

Despite being tied to Mara, hindering both the Hen and Chimney from taking action, and Eddie having experience with supervision under Gerrard from his time in the army, they still advise Buck to be careful and not let Gerrard provoke him unnecessarily.

Making wise decisions in tough situations, like when Buck offers helpful advice during conversations about swarms of dangerous bees worth millions, isn’t as simple as it sounds. After the mishap with a truck carrying bees, Buck’s counsel proved beneficial to those affected. However, no matter the outcome, Gerrard always remains unsatisfied.

The tension reaches its peak for Buck when he finally loses control and confronts Gerrard. In response, Gerrard starts scolding him about neglecting his responsibilities. As this argument escalates, Buck feels overwhelmed and tries to compose himself. During this moment, a tool from the construction crew accidentally comes loose and Buck quickly steps in to shield Gerrard from harm, although he himself gets hurt in the process.

What will happen to Buck next in 911?

We’re curious to see how Gerrard might respond to the incident involving Buck, as it could potentially alter the dynamic within the 118. However, we’ll have to wait and see.

Moreover, Buck appears to be thriving in his personal life more than his professional one! Although their brief and charming encounter hinted at them as a couple, Buck and Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr.) seem to be deepening their relationship. Their interactions suggest that they continue to cherish each other, and we eagerly anticipate witnessing the progression of their shared time!

To sum up, this has been an excellent kickoff to the season. However, judging by the sneak peek for the upcoming episode, it seems like the second half of our three-episode season premiere is going to take us on a thrilling journey!

911 season 8 airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC. Catch up the following day on Hulu.
