What to Expect from 9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 2: Spiraling
Athena and Hen’s trip to space goes anything but as planned on 9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 2, “Spiraling.”
The promo video shows his team warning billionaire Tripp Howser (guest star Mark Consuelos) about a geomagnetic storm. But, as the season’s trailer teases, Tripp doesn’t stop the launch. So, Athena, Hen, and three other people go into space, only to lose contact with the mission control team.
The episode description for “Spiraling” reveals that technology goes rogue, so maybe that’s what causes the disconnect.

The synopsis suggests it will also cause problems for the 118. A day off, per Chimney, ends as chaos rains — literally. The promo video for “Spiraling” shows the interim captain calling shots as, seemingly, meteors make impact in LA.
That sequence also shows Harry with the 118, and it appears that Harry has on Buck’s helmet. Is that bit before or after the one-on-one scenes teased in the 9-1-1 photos? Is their conversation about Harry dropping out of high school?
Regardless, it seems as though things will only continue to escalate in this chapter of 9-1-1 Season 9’s premiere event.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
