9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 3 Arrives This Week: Release Date, Exact Time, and Where to Watch
9-1-1 barrels into Season 9 Episode 3 this week as the 118 reels from honoring Bobby Nash with a firehouse dedication, races to save a threatened billionaire, and confronts fallout from Athena and Hari’s imperiled space mission—here’s the release date, time, and how to watch.
9-1-1 is not taking its foot off the gas. After a memorial that hit hard and a couple of storylines that went big (yes, the show just tossed in a space mission and a tech meltdown), Season 9 keeps moving. Here is when Episode 3 lands and where to watch it, plus a quick refresher on the chaos we just saw.
Previously on Season 9
The 118 pulled together to honor Bobby Nash, dedicating a firehouse in his name after his sacrifice. In the same stretch, they sprinted to protect a billionaire under threat, Athena and Hari found their space mission thrown off by a geostorm back on Earth, and the team battled a wave of tech going rogue. Subtle? Not really. Effective television? Absolutely.

What the show is, in case you jumped in late
At its core, 9-1-1 follows Los Angeles first responders juggling brutal calls with messy personal lives. If you like high-stakes rescues and character drama that swings for the fences, that is the entire pitch.
"Explore the high-pressure experiences of police officers, paramedics and firefighters who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations. These emergency responders must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in their own lives."
Episode 3 is up next on ABC. Set your clocks, grab your tissues, maybe hide your smart devices just in case.
