9-1-1: LONE STAR 5.07 “Kiddos"

[madlori]

So I never talk about Lone Star here although I do watch it, but I hate the Grace Ryder situation so much I just gotta.

So to write the character off the show, you got some possibilities. She and Judd divorce (hate that), she dies (hate that worse), and what some people predicted - that she go away on some religious mission. Which is what they went with.

Like, I can see how that might have felt like a better option than the first two.

But you're asking me to believe that GRACE RYDER would leave HER TODDLER DAUGHTER, not to mention her husband, her job, her parents, her friends, for an undisclosed period of time on a mission ship??? Leaving for a few weeks, I buy that, 100%. But you will NEVER get me to accept that she'd leave her family like that, for that long a time period. I can accept that there are people who would. But GRACE as we've come to know her is not one of those people.

And there's a fourth option they could have taken.

Grace is still there. We just...don't see her. She's Off-Camera Grace. I can buy that she's taken another job so we don't see her at Dispatch a lot easier than I can buy she's faffed off to parts unknown.

They had the chance to be hilarious about this. It could have become a running joke, as the reasons we aren't seeing Grace get more and more ridiculous.

The first few episodes, it's normal things. Oh, Grace isn't here, she took her dad to the doctor. She and Charlie are visiting her sister in Houston. She wasn't feeling well, so she stayed home from the party. Oh, you just missed her, but here, she left some brownies, have one.

And then gradually...it gets more and more convoluted as the audience (many of whom wouldn't know or care that the actress was written off) catches on.

Grace wished she could be here, but she had to stop and rescue a team of unicyclists who followed their GPS into a lake.

Sorry, Grace had to cancel - she had a terrible electrolysis accident and only has one eyebrow right now.

Where's Grace? She's helping the FBI with a case by wearing a wire and ingratiating herself to the flower shop owner who's really a Yakuza.

Missed opportunities, I think.

tell me i'm wrong you can't (probably will make another when i think of more ships this applies to)

I can’t decide if Captain Strand figured out the accidental nude situation so fast because

A) he’s been there

B) TK accidentally did the same and used a similarly flimsy excuse

C) He knows for a fact that Nancy and Mateo don’t know the current geopolitical situation between Russia and Serbia

D) It’s happened before in 252

E) All of the above

INCORRECT 9-1-1: LONE STAR S3E18: A Bright and Cloudless Morning

"I'm ready to make my will."

[snowviolettwhite]

9-1-1 people who watched Glee who was your favorite character?

Mine was Brittany.

[cas-kingdom]

Omg omg omg I'm excited.

Can I request a Owen x daughter reader (or your OC) where she gets in trouble at school and has to get picked up and go to the firehouse? Obviously switch whatever you want but something like that!

A/N: Due to her age, I kept Owen's daughter as my OC!

"Mr. Strand, you don't seem surprised."

Owen tapped his fingers against the armrests of the uncomfortable chair he'd been forced to sit in and pressed his lips together in a thin line. Yeah. This was exactly why Gwyn usually attended these meetings with him.

"I'm not," he said, smiling tightly at the woman sat on the other side of the desk. "Maybe a bit. I mean, Connie's a little spitfire, I'm sure you know that. If someone was mean to her..." He shrugged and shifted in the chair. "Yeah, no, I'm not surprised."

As expected, the woman sat across the desk, Mrs. Winslow, the principle of his eight-year-old's school, was unamused. Lacing her fingers together on her lap, she rose a delicate eyebrow and leaned slightly forward, as though not quite having processed his answer yet. "Mr. Strand, your daughter punched a boy in the face."

Owen pursed his lips. "Because he told her girls couldn't be firefighters," he said matter-of-factly. "Just cause, if I may say so." Mrs. Winslow's frown darkened. "I may not," he corrected. Clearing his throat a little awkwardly, and once again wishing Gwyn hadn't been caught up in a meeting when the school had called, Owen sat up straighter in his chair. He grimaced at the discomfort of his backside. Did they make the chairs hard as nail on purpose?

"Yeah," he said, "I'm sorry. Rest assured, her mother and I will come up with some sort of punishment for her."

Mrs. Winslow stared at him a while longer before sighing and turning to her computer. She clicked a few things. "We're suspending Connie for four days, I'm afraid."

Owen exhaled. "Right," he said. Figures. "And is the boy being suspended?"

"There was no physicality involved on his side."

He failed to see the point, and his face made that clear. "So...is he being punished at all?"

"That will be up to his parents." The roles had been reversed now, with Owen not exactly finding her response agreeable. When his lack of an immediate response caused Mrs. Winslow to return her gaze back to him, she turned in her seat to face him. "Mr. Strand—"

"Bullying is bullying, Mrs. Winslow. Physical or not, works both ways. If teachers aren't punishing kids for being little crap bags then no wonder the kids are acting on it themselves. Food for thought."

Mrs. Winslow looked all but shocked, and Owen couldn't restrain from chuckling softly. He stood to his feet, considered a handshake, decided against it. "I'll leave now. Four days?"

"Four days."

Connie had been waiting outside Mrs. Winslow's office for however long Owen had been in there, swinging her little legs back and forth. She didn't often get in trouble, and she'd certainly never punched anyone before, so Owen couldn't say he wasn't slightly surprised...but still. She was her father's daughter. Had to count for something.

He shut the door and gave Connie a smile, holding out his hand for her to take. "Hey, Sunshine," he said, "heard you got into some trouble."

Connie scrunched her face up as they walked down the corridor. "Sam said girls couldn't be firefighters so I hit him hard, just like you told me to."

Had he? A brief memory of something involving alcohol and a little family get-together at his house swirled around his head.

He winced. He had.

"Yeah," he said hesitantly. "Daddy may have been a little...inebriated when he said that." He paused and turned to pick Connie up, swinging her around so she could hang onto his back. "Really, Con, sweetie, that was a bad call. We don't punch people."

Her little voice came by his ear, confused and noticeably disappointed. "Ever?"

"Not until you're older." He pat her knee. "Bad news is, Mom's gonna want to ground you. That means no TV for at least a week. Good news is you don't have to go to school for four whole days, and you're gonna spend twenty-four hours of those with me at the Firehouse. ‘Cause girls make the best firefighters.”

"Hell yeah!”

Another wince and a quick glance around to ensure Mrs. Winslow wasn't sneaking after them. “Ooh, okay, Daddy was a little inebriated when he said that word also, so let’s pretend it doesn’t exist from now on. 'Specially around Mom. Okay? Okay. That's my girl.”

Like I’m sad for no more tk and carlos but lonestar could have lasted longer if they wouldn’t have relied on rob lowe so much and done that dumbass undercover storyline with him which he had no business taking part in.

[lassie-farce]

How can Carlos or Owen afford such nice homes given they share their insurance policies with TK?
