The Station 19 100th episode was one for the ages, but now the firefighters are taking a break. There is no new episode of Station 19 tonight, April 18. Airing in its place is the third episode of 9-1-1‘s three-part cruise ship saga. The show will not return with new episodes until Thursday, May 2.
All of the TGIT line-up is on hiatus in order to catch up with filming after rushing back to production after the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Taking this break will allow all of the shows to have a smoother run with fewer interruptions heading into their finale episodes later in the spring.
According to co-showrunner Peter Paige, the first priority when the show returns will be trying to save Vic’s (Barrett Doss) job. The official description for the May 2 episode backs him up.
“With both Vic’s job and Crisis One in jeopardy, a flashback shows how the program has changed the lives of the team and the local community. Meanwhile, Ben keeps a secret from Bailey,” reads the ABC logline.
