New stills have been released for the highly anticipated 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey crossover that fans probably saw coming. The episode is titled “Casino Week” and the official synopsis for the episode reads:
“It’s Casino Week aboard The Odyssey, and unexpected guest Athena Grant suspects two passengers are targeting the ship’s vault. Enlisting Max’s help, Athena raises the stakes in a dangerous game where not everyone will end up with a winning hand.”
Even with a robbery or an attempted robbery, logically in my mind at least, that would not be enough to get Athena back on a cruise ship. Wouldn’t Bobby also have his reservations about her going to do this? Do police sergeants often do this much undercover work? More and more you have to suspend belief in Ryan Murphy’s world.
Another question I have is: Was this crossover always planned or does Doctor Odyssey need some help to gain viewers? Viewers are intrigued by this upcoming episode, however, with some of our readers mentioning how they also find it strange that Athena would hop on another cruise ship so soon without experiencing any trauma. To be fair, we have not seen the episode yet, so her fears may be explored.
In a recent interview with TVLine, Angela Bassett discussed why she initially turned down the crossover event stating, “I was like, that doesn’t make sense,” she says. “Athena would never get back on a boat again. I just can’t imagine what would get her back on board, other than to go on, turn around and come right back off. [That experience is] still fresh in the cells of her body. It’s very anxiety provoking for Athena to be on that boat for any amount of time.”
So at least Angela gets it but when the boss calls, you have to answer the phone. This episode does leave the door open for more potential 9-1-1 guest stars to cruise. Perhaps some 9-1-1 Lone Star characters may make an appearance in future episodes. The possibilities are now endless. Not to mention a new city has been greenlight by the House of Mouse. We will soon be seeing a new crew in Nashville.
