Y'know what we were robbed of? retired bobby being at home and everyone turning up at his door like clockwork because they still need him to help them out.

Like the episode when Bobby was first suspended and it was just everyone going to Bobby for advice and venting while Interim Captain Han was being too much.

We were robbed of Retired Bobby Nash bring a stay at home dad, helping his kids and his firefam w advice and then also helping solve his detective wife's cases while hanging out w his best buds Micheal and David

S9 starts with a firefam gathering at Athena’s house. The whole team, plus Karen and Maddie and the kids. Including the newest Han baby. Everyone is dancing around, eating together and generally being merry. Athena is setting up some appetizers on the table. Ravi is bartending, Buck brought a slew of baked goods. Maddie and Chim are dancing together, twirling each other. Eddie is dorky dad dancing with Christopher. Harry and Denny are playing a game together. Hen and Karen are talking about Mara needing back to school clothes and May offers to take her shopping.

We hear the faintest sound of Hozier’s “Work Song” playing in the background, a little crackly like it’s coming from a record player. Suddenly, Bobby comes in off the back porch with a tray of barbecued goods. He distributes hot dogs and burgers and joins the festivities.

Everyone is happy. Nobody is surprised to see him.

We (the audience) assume someone on the team is dreaming. Maybe Athena, possibly Buck. They’re both there, looking happy. It would make sense…but then suddenly we’re in a government lab.

And Bobby is on a hospital bed, just waking up.

Someone in a lab coat comes in and takes his vitals. They make a comment about how they’re glad to see he’s finally awake.

Cut to the 9-1-1 opening sequence.

Wait wait this is how we win. Bobby Nash is in a lab somewhere and he's not cooperating at all. And whoever is in charge tries to blackmail him saying they'll hurt his precious team. But ofc before they couldn't get to them but once buddie is out if LA they had their sights on them.

Maybe Buck is the one they kidnap and torture to keep bobby cooperating or maybe Eddie is the one they take and they stuck Eddie at Bobby's lab too and he hallucinates/dreams of Buck being tortured.

Somehow whoever is left behind fights tooth and nail to get to the other and in the process they save Bobby because now Bobby actually had something to fight for and goddamn it but ROBERT WADE NASH WILL NOT LET THEM HURT HIS BOYS

Sooooo what you’re saying is Bobby was taken to a government lab and put in witness protection and his new identity is Mike Thornhill.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The best part of living on the “Bobby is alive and trapped in a government lab” island is that the show NEVER has to even acknowledge it. Of course the team doesn’t know he’s stuck being experimented on, it’s just another government secret like Area 47!

I’m not expecting the show to acknowledge it at all, in fact. And that’s how I’ll stay winning #delulu is the solulu

unhinged spec: Alex is an army plant because they needed someone to check in on the 118 and make sure no one knew that bobby was alive. She's undercover as a therapist just to ensure that no one goes snooping and they all fully believe bobby is dead and keep it that way

But then she LIKES them or feels v frustrated by their bullshit that she cannot handle their drama and sabotages the mission bc it's not her monkeys or her circus and if she threw alobobby at them she'd finally be rid of having to be around them.

So she engineers it to have buck and Eddie go out to the desert on a road trip where she ambushes them and gets them to free bobby and rid her of her migraine inducing mission

(also I say this as someone who has not seen the season at all and only knows of plot points and Alex thru fandom discourse )
