Months after Bobby's death, 9-1-1 season 9 is teasing another major demise in the 118. ABC rocked Ryan Murphy's premier first-responder series when Peter Krause was unexpectedly written out of the show. For years, he was one of the show's main characters, so killing off Bobby in such a shocking fashion sent ripples to 9-1-1's massive fandom. Several months later, it remains a talking point both for viewers and the characters in the procedural. Bobby's death was chalked up to the intention of grounding the series when 9-1-1 was never about realism. In fact, that's part of its appeal — to be able to watch intense calls while also having the re-assurance that at the end of it, the main cast will walk away from them without permanent damage. Bobby's death changes that whole perception, with 9-1-1 season 9 already following his demise with Eddie's abuela passing away. Sadly, if 9-1-1 season 9, episode 6, "Family History's" new trailer (via TV Promos/YouTube) pays off its tease, the 118 is bound to lose another member in Hen. As seen in the promo, her hand gets numb, with the clip ending with her collapsing. Watch the video below: Hen's seeming health scare isn't the first time that she has gone through a near-death experience this season. As part of 9-1-1 season 9's four-part premiere, she and Athena were sent on a space trip that, unsurprisingly, went wrong. She and the rest of her fellow explorers were able to come back home, luckily. It would be a waste if she ends up being dead just a couple of weeks later. In terms of storytelling, 9-1-1 is also still dealing with the backlash from Bobby's death, so killing another major character now is not going to be in their best interest. While the chances of Hen dying are very little to none, the teaser poses major questions about what is happening to her. It could be a temporary health scare that came from his outer space expedition. There's also a possibility that it is a season-long arc for the character, which means that the mystery won't be solved in the same episode. For context, the outing will be the show's final offering this year, which makes Hen's fate the perfect cliffhanger narrative. On the flip side, 9-1-1 season 9 going back to silly cases raises the potential for this to be a red herring. Regardless of what lies ahead for Hen, her plot is surely going to bring up some emotions from 118. Bobby's death is still fresh in their minds, even though they have started the process of moving on. From the looks of it, 9-1-1 season 9 has an emotional fall finale in its hands.
