[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 6 “Naked Truth.”] “She has been through enough!” So says Gina Torres (rightfully so!) about her character, Tommy, on 9-1-1: Lone Star . The latest episode, as the Fox drama reaches the halfway point of its fifth and final season, begins with Tommy calling Nancy ( Brianna Baker ) into her office to discuss a nude photo she accidentally sent to the group chat; the paramedic captain spotted a concerning lump.
Nancy then revealed to Mateo ( Julian Works ) that she does have reason to be worried: her family history. Her great aunt, grandmother, and mother died of breast cancer. Even before getting the mammogram, Nancy had resigned herself to thinking she had cancer, Baker tells TV Insider as part of our 9-1-1: Lone Star aftershow, First Response , with her and Torres this week.
“I think it’s the thing that’s been haunting you and you’re always just waiting for when it comes for you. And I think the way that Nancy is and lives is maybe like someone who is like, you know what? I’m probably going to get cancer and very young, but I’m not going to tell anybody and keep my world really small,” explains Baker. “And so then I think when it showed up, all of the fear and memories of the past and her family was right at the front door and she was ready to just open it and be like, take me.
” But then came the twist. The lump was just a macrocyst, not a tumor, though Nancy will need to.
