While Halloween may be behind most of us, the thrills are far from over for our favorite 118 crew. Tonight’s episode of 9-1-1 promises a mix of heartfelt reflection, spine-chilling moments, and sheer chaos — and Collider is exclusively giving fans a sneak peek at Ryan Guzman’s Eddie Diaz exploring the mysteries of life and death during a Día de los Muertos celebration.
This season, the story has largely revolved around the team’s struggles following the shocking death of their leader, Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause). With Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) returning from their space mission, other characters like Eddie are finally stepping into the spotlight, allowing their stories and inner struggles to take center stage.
Eddie Reflects on the Afterlife
In this sneak peek, Eddie ponders what comes after life — a theme that resonates deeply following the recent loss of a beloved teammate. Guzman’s portrayal captures the vulnerability and introspection of someone grappling with grief while still trying to serve others. This emotional core is only a fraction of what tonight’s episode has in store.
Chaos and Creepy Fun Await
Fans can expect everything from demonic possessions to a giant inflatable pumpkin rolling through the streets of Los Angeles, evoking the thrills of an Indiana Jones-style adventure. Meanwhile, Buck (Oliver Stark) investigates a potential haunting in his own home — a storyline that Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) eagerly supports, adding both humor and tension to the mix.
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Halloween Homage Idea
Before Maddie Han became the heroic dispatcher of the 118, Hewitt was the iconic final girl, Julie James, in I Know What You Did Last Summer. In a playful nod to her horror roots, she once pitched an idea for a Halloween episode of 9-1-1:
“What if I get a call at the 911 call center from a girl being chased by a fisherman? [Winks] Wouldn’t it be fun? It would be playful and it would be fun — like in a Halloween episode. I’m putting it out there! I think that would be really good, like, ‘911, what’s your emergency?’ ‘I’m being chased by a guy with a hook!’ ‘Really? We’ve all seen that movie.’ Wouldn’t that be brilliant?”
Her idea perfectly captures the blend of horror, humor, and heart that makes 9-1-1 a fan favorite.
