Hopefully, the spinoff isn’t planning on being so cruel to its characters, though I guess it would be ridiculous if this show delivered a bunch of disastrous situations without dishing out tragedies now and again.
Owen and the team have obviously pulled off some pretty fantastic rescues, though, so I’m not yet ruling out Judd and Grace’s chances of surviving with no injuries.
After all, what better way to rip out the hearts of a collective fanbase than seeing how a couple fell in love before killing one of them off?
9-1-1: Lone Star created some pretty huge stakes by putting Judd and Grace’s lives in jeopardy like that, and it’s slightly concerning that the narrative’s next step is to reveal the couple’s origin story to build up the emotional response.
