Athena makes a daring attempt onboard a plane in 911 Season 8, Episode 2 (Preview)

As a seasoned gamer of the rollercoaster that is television drama, I must say that the opening scene of 911 Season 8 had me on the edge of my seat. The swarm of bees and the impending disaster for Athena Grant-Nash (Angela Bassett) in the season premiere was a thrilling start to what promises to be another action-packed season.

The season 8 premiere of 911 left us breathless with a bee swarm and an ending predicting doom for at least one cherished character. We’re eagerly anticipating episode two to discover what unfolds as Athena Grant-Nash (Angela Bassett) finds herself in peril…once more.

Currently, it’s clear that Athena must remain on firm ground, but unfortunately, this won’t be the case as she has to travel to Arizona to retrieve Dennis Jenkins. It’s the same man who took her fiancé’s life years ago, yet he managed to reform himself before she found his location. In Arizona, Jenkins was due to testify in a court case regarding sex trafficking prior to being freed from prison.

It seemed evident that someone didn’t want him to provide testimony, as a person posing as a federal officer attempted to detain him unlawfully. Consequently, Athena had to swiftly escape with Dennis and board a plane to Los Angeles rather than driving.

Without Athena realizing it, the 118 crew found themselves in trouble with a beehive’s worth of bees. Although Buck (Oliver Stark) and his team managed to shoo away most of them, there remained a massive swarm hovering high overhead. A small plane unfortunately flew into this swarm, narrowly avoiding a collision with an incoming large aircraft. This incident will set the stage for what unfolds in the second episode.

In the promotional video, it seems that Athena’s flight will collide with a man, judging from the scenes depicted. The promo starts with passengers heard shouting as the plane seems to hit something, leaving a large gap in its side. Later on, Athena is seen near the front of the plane, seemingly communicating over the radio, possibly with air traffic control.

The promotion scene implies that Buck hastily locates Bobby (Peter Krause), presumably at his workplace, as suggested by those in the background. As Bobby probes about his wife’s location, Buck discloses that Athena is piloting the aircraft. Interestingly, Bobby exhibits no signs of surprise whatsoever.

In the official synopsis, it reads:

Athena is tasked with safely delivering a prisoner to testify on a high-profile case. Meanwhile, a light plane is hit by a swarm of bees and sent careening into a passenger plane.

In the movie, a pilot stepped in to aid in the rescue mission among the passengers. Is it possible that another pilot, specifically Buck’s partner Tommy Kinard portrayed by Lou Ferrigo Jr., might also offer assistance?

The upcoming event remains a mystery, as the promotional material provides limited insight, primarily featuring Hen Wilson (Aisha Hinds), Chimney Han (Kenny Choi), and Eddie Diaz (Ryan Guzman) with concerned expressions as they stare up at the sky.

Given the structure of the series, as it’s a three-act story, it’s probable that we’ll get to know more about the plane passengers before any other events unfold. Yet, 911 is renowned for creating strong emotional bonds with its characters, so we can expect this introduction to be no exception!

The upcoming episode of “911” will be aired this coming Thursday, October 3rd, at 8/7 central time on ABC. Don’t forget to check out the season 8 premiere on Hulu if you missed it!
