Earthquakes are bad enough, but on this week’s “9-1-1,” the tremors are just the beginning. After the initial shaking subsides, the 118 faces a new, unexpected threat: a series of strange fires erupting across Los Angeles. “Don’t Drink the Water,” airing this Thursday, kicks off with the team racing to contain these unusual blazes.
As the 118 battles the flames, they have to figure out what’s causing them – fast. Is it a gas leak? Some aftershock-induced electrical malfunction? Something more unusual? The clock’s ticking as they try to connect the dots and prevent further damage.
Amid the post-earthquake mayhem, the episode also checks in with the characters as they attempt to plan for the future. The ground may have stopped shaking, but the personal aftershocks are still being felt. Expect more heart-stopping action and split-second decision-making that has become the show’s trademark. Catch “9-1-1” on ABC this Thursday, May 8 at 8:00 PM ET.
