Remember when we said we’d be down for a Ranger spinoff of 9-1-1: Lone Star ? We’re still game for that, but that epic potential bromance between Carlos and Campbell may be missing from the menu. As of now, the biggest plot twist of the season is that Campbell might be a dirty Ranger who arranged for the deaths of many confidential informants and maybe has a had in Gabriel Reyes’ death. Did anyone else see that one coming? I can tell you right now that I didn’t expect that revelation in the closing moments of “The Quiet Ones,” and I’ll have to sit on it for quite some time.
The hour put the spotlight squarely on the ranger portion of the series after it took a break since earlier in the season, around 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 1 . The opener was heartbreaking. I take back my negative statements or thoughts about Wyatt due to Grace’s departure.
He’s capable as a dispatcher, and he matches her sympathy and passion for the gig. It was so upsetting to see him so calmly walk Julio through getting out of that house and to safety using a hot skillet. Julio’s fightback was so satisfying, especially since that pan looked like cast iron, and those can do some damage by themselves, let alone when they’re fresh off the stove.
But the moment he dropped the pan and stood in place, the worst fear came true; the killer stabbed him to death, with poor Wyatt on the other end hearing the entire exchange. It’s Wyatt’s first death on the job, which will stick to .
