‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ Aftershow: Inside [Spoiler]’s Arrest

So much happens in the latest 9-1-1: Lone Star that Ronen Rubinstein is right when he says it feels like it should be two episodes.

First of all, we finally meet T.K.’s stepfather, Enzo (Henry Ian Cusick). He stops by for T.K.’s birthday, and to the paramedic’s shock, he’s arrested for securities fraud, conspiracy, tax evasion, and wire fraud at his party. T.K. struggles to reconcile the stepfather he knew who raised him with someone who could do that, and it’s his father Owen (Rob Lowe) who says he can be both good and bad.

“I love that we reveal that Enzo was the reason T.K. actually became a firefighter, and Owen was the reason he almost didn’t become one,” (We have all three members of TNT for this one!) There’s more to come from that relationship, too, with Cusick back for more. “I think that little speech that Owen gave T.K. probably changed his mind a little bit for the better, about not being too hard on Enzo and maybe giving him a moment to really understand why he’s doing this. We’ll find out, but I think it’s giving Enzo, I guess, grace like he said in that scene with Owen. So now he has to take his own advice and give Enzo grace and hear his side of the story.”

T.K.’s relationship with Owen is also changed in this episode, and not just with him telling his father he’s why he almost didn’t become a firefighter. In their last scene, T.K. makes sure Owen knows he literally saved him and everything good in his life is because he never gave up on him. Even though he’s never been the perfect father, he’s still a great one.

“I think there’s a beautiful parallel for the last five years of Owen and T.K. and them coming together at the very beginning to Austin, and then seeing them both grow separately as humans and coming in together when they need to and then going separate directions when they need to and then coming back together,” “And I think Episode 7 is a perfect example of just when you think maybe it’s going to be a pretty bad split, because that’s pretty harsh to hear from your son, ‘You’re actually the reason why I didn’t want to become a firefighter,’ and then for them to make up so beautifully at his birthday…”

Speaking of that party, there’s some great karaoke—to “Under Pressure”—with T.K. and Enzo, who then brings in Owen. Rubinstein loved that since he’s in a band. Still,

“I was feeling the pressure,” he admits. “I kind of want that still of the three of us singing framed. It’s just like T.K. and his two dads and how important they both are to him, and just crucial to who T.K. has become as a man. And again, it’s just such a beautiful image, I think for the three of them to come together, especially the song, it’s very specific. They picked under pressure for a reason. I think the lyrics are very telling.”

‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ Sneak Peek: Owen Sends Enzo to the Hospital 

What better way to deal with the awkwardness between T.K.’s (Ronen Rubinstein) father Owen (Rob Lowe) and stepfather Enzo (Henry Ian Cusick) when the latter visits (surprise!) than with … arm wrestling?

Rubinstein previously teased for us the “incredible love-hate triangle that we’re going to see between Enzo, Owen, and T.K.” as part of our after show, First Response, for Episode 5, “Thunderstruck.”

showrunner Rashad Raisani told us.

Bringing in Enzo will “force Owen to acknowledge, kind of going back to his past as T.K.’s father and the years that he was absent, that some damage was done to T.K. and that Enzo had a lot to say about what kind of person T.K. would become,”  “So there’s a lot of reckoning about the past that’s gonna come through with his character. Also, he’s just a whole lot of fun.”

9-1-1: Lone Star Finally Introduces Henry Ian Cusick as Enzo for ‘Bonkers’ Storyline

After four seasons, 9-1-1: Lone Star is finally putting a face to a name, introducing Henry Ian Cusick as TK’s stepfather Enzo. The guy definitely knows how to make an entrance.

Bringing Enzo to Austin is something Ronen Rubinstein, who plays TK, has been anxiously anticipating for years.

“It’s something I’ve been asking for and daydreaming about since Season 1,” "I’ve always tried to imagine who Enzo was and who could possibly play him. I think it was perfectly done and it surpassed all of my wildest dreams.”

In the scene above, Enzo rolls into the firehouse with a flashy 30th birthday gift for TK. As Owen snarks to Mateo, “Enzo has a way of swooping in and making everything about him.” (Spoiler alert: Owen has no idea how correct he is. But he’s about to find out.)

“That storyline is just bonkers,” Rubinstein teases. “This is why I’m not a writer, because the stuff that they came up with for Enzo and TK is just unbelievable. I’m so proud of that. And everything with Jonah is going to be such a roller coaster. People are in for a wild ride.”

N92: What fuels your fire? And when youre burnt out what are some things you do or keep in mind when youre trying to re-spark it?

RR: I've always been a big dreamer, especially back when no one believed in me. It always starts with a dream. I've been fortunate enough to achieve so many of them already. But I have so many more to pursue. I would hope it's a life long pursuit. I never forget where & what I come from. That always kick my ass into gear when I need it. And honestly, taking things one day at a time baby, one day at a time.
