The world is seemingly coming to an end — and fire is all around — in the upcoming 9-1-1: Lone Star series finale.
In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek at the Monday, February 3, episode, the firefighters from the 126 have a lot on their plate following an asteroid hitting Austin.
“The nuclear reactor is on fire,” one caller tells the 9-1-1 dispatch center, while another screams, “There’s bodies everywhere.”
From our partners:
The 9-1-1 call center appears to be overwhelmed with emergencies after the catastrophic disaster, which fans were warned about during the Monday, January 27, episode of the Fox series.
“I need a fallout shelter,” a third caller says in the clip. A fourth resident reveals, “You gotta send help!” revealing that the local university was struck by a part of the asteroid.
As the 126 arrives on scene, led by Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe), there are loud sirens and flames coming off multiple buildings. Not to mention, several bodies are strewn about on the quad.
“Anybody else getting end of days vibes?” firefight Marjan Marwani (Natacha Karam) says as the engine rolls in.
‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ EP Teases Final Season Leaves the ‘Door Open’ for Some
Texas native Judd Ryder (Jim Parrack) begins to quote scripture as he takes in the horrific scene. “And it caused fire to come down from the heavens to earth,” he says.
Once out of the truck, Owen jumps into action telling his team to assess the wounded and put out the spot fires. “What are we looking at here?” Owen asks 9-1-1 dispatcher Wyatt Harris (Jackson Pace), who is also Judd’s son.
Wyatt admits, “It’s pretty bad,” noting that there is a nuclear cooling tank on campus that is overheating and must be turned off before it’s too late.
“At this rate, we’re looking at total meltdown in less than 10 minutes,” Wyatt reveals, telling Owen they haven’t been able to reach the professor in charge of the nuclear science department.
Owen doesn’t waste any more time, telling his squad, “126, we’re going in. We’re looking for the shutoff valve or this place is uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years.”
The ominous warning doesn’t deter his team, but it does get a playful response from Marjan, who fires back, “Alright, but no pressure.”
Why Gina Torres Says ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ Premiere Was ‘Brutal’ to Film
Ronen Rubinstein, who plays Owen’s son and paramedic T.K. Strand, exclusively told Us on Friday, January 31, that it shouldn’t be surprising to fans how intense the finale is — and how much danger the team gets put in.
He joked that Austin “must have a hellmouth under it” because of all the disasters they’ve encountered during the show’s five-season run.
“I’m very anxious, in a good way, to see what the final product looks like,” Rubinstein, 31, teased. “I do think people will be relieved and happy with where we end the show.”
The 9-1-1: Lone Star series finale airs on Fox at 8 p.m. ET.
