[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 7 “Hotshots.”] Bobby ( Peter Krause ) is about to have his hands full at the 118 on 9-1-1 because he can’t escape Brad ( Callum Blue ). The Hotshots actor first tries to get him reassigned back to the show as its tech advisor—he hates Gerrard (Brian Thompson)—then shocks the 118’s captain by showing up at the end of the second to last episode of 2024 to reveal he’ll be shadowing him.

Below, Krause discusses that ending, Bobby and Athena’s ( Angela Bassett ) house, Brad, and more. (Plus, read what Blue had to say about the “real” Brad and more here .) Does Bobby think he maybe saw the real Brad with the way that he treated the waitress in the restaurant? Peter Krause: I think Bobby is at odds with all things Hollywood.

He enjoys being a firefighter and the leader of the team. I think he sees Brad as a complete person, and Bobby has some standards for himself that Brad does not for himself. And in some ways, I think that’s what Brad is seeking.

Whatever it might be that feels real about being a firefighter does involve sort of a code of honor, I guess, for Bobby seeing him mistreat somebody. It’s just bad behavior. What you just said lines up with what Callum told me earlier today, that Brad looks at Bobby as this real, authentic person.

I think that there’s a sort of emptiness that Brad feels at times that he doesn’t know how to fill that. And I think he’s trying, I mean, hats .
