Preview — 9-1-1 Season 5 Episode 2: Desperate Times
After a scream worthy end to the previous episode, 9-1-1 Season 5 Episode 2, “Desperate Times” aims to answer some of those big questions. The biggest of which is the fate of Athena’s family.
We all know that the serial rapist being free on the streets of Los Angeles spells major trouble for Athena. Out of all his victims, she poses the biggest threat.
And how do you knock Athena to her knees? You attack her family. With the kidnapping of Harry, Athena is putty in this man’s hand.
Meanwhile, the rest of the first responders are scrambling to keep chaos at bay as the city plunges into darkness during a record heatwave. This means, all hands on deck — even a distracted Chimney who has both of his families to worry about.
