Lizzie and Lyra continue on with Season 2 of ABC's 9-1-1 with "Stuck," which feels like the first Eddie episode and a truly important episode for Chimney's growth, as well. They go over Athena's choice, Christopher and Eddie, Chimney and Bobby, Maddie's decision to move out, and even take a moment (or five) to discuss why heteronormative glasses have kept so many people from seeing what the show has set up from the beginning with Buddie.

Lizzie and Lyra continue on with Season 2 of ABC's 9-1-1 with a double episode rewatch of "7.1" and "Help Is Not Coming." The Earthquake emergency goes on to prove that Eddie Diaz and Maddie Buckley were the missing pieces this show needed. Both of them provide something different for Buck without JUST being there for Buck. They're their own characters. As for the rest of the 118, Hen continues to prove how strong she is and Bobby and Athena reach a new milestone in their relationship. Join them for the latest Tales From the 118!

Lizzie and Lyra start Season 2 of ABC's 9-1-1! Of course they talk about the introduction of Eddie Diaz. It's the beginning of a new era for this show (and for Buck.) There's also our favorite Maddie Buckley making her debut! Which... also signals big changes for Buck. But besides that, this is when 9-1-1 really starts hitting its stride and where the missing pieces click into place, creating the show many love. And they break it all down in their rewatch!

Lizzie and Lyra reach the end of 9-1-1 Season 1 with Episode 10 "A Whole New You." The end means we finally get to say goodbye to Abby. And in that goodbye, she proves to not trust Buck or their relationship, leaving him dangling while she's in Ireland. On the Bobby front, he's made his choice and moving forward, cementing a new start to his life. Even Karen and Hen are giving it another go. Why? Who knows besides a leap of faith.

Lizzie and Lyra continue their rewatch of 9-1-1 Season 1 with Episode 9 "Trapped." And like the title says, everyone is trapped. From the mother and son in the elevator, to Athena in her handcuffs and Abby with her mom. All different forms of being trapped. Even Buck is in the mix, trapping himself in a relationship after some bad advice from Bobby. They said, what they said. But at least they're closer to the Season 1 finale aka where they say goodbye to Abby forever. Join them for the latest Tales From the 118!

Lizzie and Lyra continue their rewatch of 9-1-1 Season 1 with Episode 8 "Karma's a B**ch." Bobby and Chimney share character defining moments that show that yes, these two are really close. And Bobby, who has been struggling with his purpose in life, he finds it. (All of this made Lizzie and Lyra cry.) On the Athena front, they're proud of her admitting the painful truth that her marriage is over. As for Hen and Karen, they're still a little lost as to why Hen cheated and feel Karen's pain deeply.

Lizzie and Lyra continue their rewatch of 9-1-1 Season 1 with Episode 7 "Full Moon (Creepy AF)." And as much as they loved the hijinx feeling of some of these spooky calls the 118 had, this episode has problems born from the trials and tribulations of a freshman season. They're looking at you, writers room. Because some of the dialogue was ignorant and Hen and Karen deserved better than that a cheating storyline for one of the only LGBTQ+ couples on TV.

Lizzie and Lyra are taking a step back from present 9-1-1 episodes and continuing their rewatch of Season 1! Next up is Episode 6 titled "Heartbreaker" aka a reminder of how much this show really tried to make Abby a thing, Buck and Abby a thing, and for a split second even a love triangle with Buck, Abby AND Bobby as a thing. Alongside that, they talk about what this Valentine's Day episode meant for Athena, who is dealing with the end of her marriage while also dealing with Melora, and what Chimney's return means for the show.

Lizzie and Lyra continue their summer of delusion in a podcast episode all about their favorite 9-1-1 episodes. And right from the jump, it's clear to see that Lizzie and Lyra have pretty different tastes when it comes to favorite 9-1-1 episodes. While they might both love "Jinx" and the Begins episodes, Lizzie leans more into episodes she can watch again and again while Lyra likes painnnnn. Join them for the latest Tales From the 118!

Welcome to the summer of delusion where Bobby is alive and fanfiction is our safe space! For our first podcast after the 9-1-1 Season 8 finale Lizzie and Lyra are talking about our favorite 9-1-1 fanfics. And while the fics are mainly Buddie, we sit down and talk about why fanfiction is such a powerful space for community, where we started on our fanfic journey, and some of our favorite and most hated tropes and common themes in fic. We also give a shout-out to our favorite fanfics within the Buddie fanfic space, including the iconic Ice Cream Before Dinner by CloudyDaisies!

Lizzie and Lyra dive into 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 18 "Seismic Shifts" aka the Season 8 finale. And while we're happy they leaned into the family dynamic of it all by the end of the episode, they dropped the ball on so many storylines and thought they could tie it all together with a montage. Eddie just needed someone to tell him to stay? Because as much as we loved Chimney's speech, are we going to ignore the whole Chris going to Texas because he saw his dad with a doppelganger of his mom? Buck also needed someone to tell him this was a family for him not to go through with the transfer? What about Maddie's postpartum storyline? Even Hen. What's the actual reason she didn't want to be Captain? Athena truly might be the only one that has an understandable arc in this Season 8 finale. And when you compare it to the rest of the episode, that's not a good thing.

Lizzie and Lyra dive into 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 17 "Don't Drink the Water," which sees the 118 moving through different stages of grief. And unlike the last couple of episodes. We... kind of don't hate it. In fact, some of it, particularly the Buck and Eddie bits, feel like we're getting back on track to something nameless but present between them. And then there's Athena and Chimney. Both care deeply for each other. But grief changes things and Athena is protecting herself. Finally, there's Hen. She doesn't want to be Captain. But then who will be?! Contact us at: talesfromthe118@gmail.com Find us on social media at: talesfromthe118.bsky.social, talesfromthe118 & Tales From the 118
Lizzie and Lyra dive into 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 16 "The Last Alarm" is the final goodbye to Peter Krause's Bobby and above all things... it's a pretty frustrating episode. In a vacuum, it’s a really well-constructed hour about mourning and the stages of grief, one that particularly focuses on how to push through that initial stage of denial. But this isn't the show we've watched for years. So this grief arc, it doesn't land.

Lizzie and Lyra dive into 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 15 "Lab Rats" aka Part 2 of the 2-part "Contagion" thriller. And honestly, it's hard not to cry and be angry at the death of Bobby Nash while also hoping against hope that this is just a terrible nightmare. As the Captain of the 118, his loss will change the lives of everyone, including the viewer at home. And if Bobby is actually alive or not, they admit that their trust in 9-1-1 has been shaken.

Lizzie and Lyra dive into 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 14 "Sick Day" aka Part 1 of the 2-part "Contagion" thriller. And while they had a set list of things to talk about in this review, it all went out the window because this episode had them worried for everyone. Worried for Bobby, Chimney, Hen, and Ravi because they're stuck inside the virus riddled building. But also worried about Athena, Buck, and Maddie, who can only listen as their family is in danger. Also there's Eddie, who is in Texas and will probably notice something is wrong because Buck hasn't Facetimed him in hours.

Lizzie and Lyra dive into Eddie taking some major steps forward in their review for 9-1-1's Season 8, Episode 13 "Invisible." Both loved that no matter where Eddie is, his tether to the person who he has become... is Buck. And it gives him the strength to be there for his despite how little his mother and father are doing to fix what has been broken between Eddie and Christopher. Then there's the Hen of it all. They don't believe that everyone would forget her birthday. Nevertheless, she has a right to feel bothered by this. Who wouldn't be?

Lizzie and Lyra dive into Eddie's return to El Paso in their review for 9-1-1's Season 8, Episode 12 "Disconnected." Both loved the way that the show explored Maddie's PTSD after the events of "Voices." But they disagreed on Chris' development (or lack of development) in season 8 so far. And then there's Eddie. He was a walking disaster of an Uber driver but he's trying and that's more than Helena Diaz can say. Finally, they break down what those Buddie calls mean.

Lizzie and Lyra go into the game-changing episode for Buck, that sets the groundwork for Buddie, even though we didn't even see Eddie this episode. They also go into Bobby's mommy issues and how he's earned his anger. Finally, they break down the ghost of "Holy Mother of God," how Tommy continues to be a plot device, and how we're not reading in between the lines anymore. We're reading them now.

Lizzie and Lyra go into Jennifer Love Hewitt's incredible performance as Maddie and Abigail's Spencer's great guest star spot, even as they discuss some of the issues with the stereotyping in the episode. They also discuss why Maddie Han has been a hero for way longer than some people give her credit for and get serious about Madney as a great ship. Finally, they break down that Buddie goodbye, where the ship is going and what that final shot on Buck means.
