9-1-1 Season 10 Episode 5 Preview: Athena and Her Partner Take on a New Case
Athena and Newell try to solve a new homicide case on 9-1-1 Season 10 Episode 5, “Who’s Your Daddy?”
The investigation comes to them when a jogger literally stumbles over a dead body. The promo video shows that Athena is suspicious of the neat blood pattern.
The “Who’s Your Daddy?” promo video reveals that Arrow‘s David Ramsey joins 9-1-1. His character seems to be one who will push back against Athena. He says that they already have a suspect in custody who confessed to the crime. But one thing that 9-1-1 never underestimates is Athena Grant’s intuition.
Meanwhile, the 118 responds to a call with a tree-mulcher accident that looks to be right out of a nightmare.
A son has his protective headphones on and doesn’t hear when his dad falls into the machine. Hopefully, the team can respond quickly enough to save this man.
The photos for “Who’s Your Daddy” don’t show Buck at that call, which leaves one to wonder if he’ll be taking the day off to focus on Theo. He leaves 9-1-1 Season 10 Episode 4, “Imposter Syndrome,” skeptical of whether he can be Theo’s father. It looks like he will continue to weigh his options to support Theo.
There’s also a line in the episode’s description about Chimney’s family ties being tested through a critical decision. There’s not a hint of what this could be about in the promotional materials. Thoughts? Theories?
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
