What the Hell Is Going on With Eddie’s Story This Season on ‘9-1-1’?
- Posted on 16 September, 2024
9-1-1 is definitely known for its over-the-top moments. Each season highlights a crazy large-scale disaster, such as an earthquake or a tsunami. Season 7 alone features a capsized cruise ship, an escape from a drug cartel, and a massive fire that overtook Bobby’s home. But in between all of the outrageous emergencies, the show typically sticks to more authentic plots with its characters and their relationships. That is, until the writers of the ABC drama decided to throw in a brand-new love interest that’s just plain unhinged.
Eddie Diaz (Ryan Guzman) is generally one of the more even-keeled characters on the show. He’s a veteran who is an amazing single dad to his son, Christopher (who has cerebral palsy). Eddie did struggle with his mental health after returning from service, but tried to make things work with his wife, Shannon (Devin Kelley). Shannon ends up leaving for two years, and Eddie does his best to raise Christopher on his own.
In Episode 7 of Season 2, Shannon returns and wants to be in Christopher’s life again. Eddie and Shannon reconcile, but not without a whole lot of complicated feelings from both sides. Several episodes later, Eddie tries proposing, but Shannon shuts him down, saying that she still has a lot to process in order to be the best mom she can be to Christopher, and she isn’t interested in becoming a wife again. She shocks Eddie by instead asking for a divorce. In Episode 17 of that same season, Shannon is fatally injured in a road incident.
