Spoilers ahead for Episode 8 of 9-1-1: Lone Star 's final season, called "The Quiet Ones." The focus of the last couple episodes of 9-1-1: Lone Star in the 2024 TV schedule had put the focus on Tommy , following her diagnosis with and surgery for breast cancer . The 126 went all-out to secure funding for her to get the treatment with a nearly 100% success rate in "The Quiet Ones," but the most intense storyline of the hour centered on Carlos and his ongoing investigation into his dad's murder.
After working with Campbell , Carlos reached an informant shortly before the man died from injuries. The informant had just enough time to drop the name of somebody who Gabriel Reyes hadn't trusted: "Ranger Campbell." And dang it, I just can't believe that there are only four episodes left to resolve everything! The Latest Complication For Carlos Okay, "The Quiet Ones" didn't explicitly state that Campbell is responsible for Gabriel's death, but the dying Nestor had no reason to lie to Carlos.
According to the CI, Gabriel had warned him to "be careful" because he was afraid Nestor would be sold out as a snitch. Unfortunately, Nestor died before he could shed more light on what he meant, but he did tell Carlos that Gabriel had named Campbell. Carlos certainly seems to believe Nestor, as he denied that the dying man had admitted anything when Campbell asked.
Who could have seen this coming when the showrunner teased their "very special chemistry" in Season 5? Based on the promo for the up.
