What Jude’s anger over Grace’s absence means for 9-1-1: The Lone Star Season 5

This could affect his relationship with Wyatt

Since 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 will be the final season of the spinoff, Judd’s storyline surrounding Grace’s absence will be an important part of the show going forward. So far, he’s managed to cope, helping his son, Wyatt (Jackson Pace), by making his home ADA compliant, following his paralysis in the previous season. However, given how close the two are, it is possible that Parrack’s statement hints at a falling out between the two, caused by the amount of pressure under his character.

While the cast of 9-1-1: Lone Star has supported Judd since Grace’s departure, The former firefighter still has to deal with the challenges of his new family situation on his own. With Wyatt now a 9-1-1 dispatcher like his stepmother before him, that could take some weight off his dad’s shoulders. However, when he reaches a boiling point because of the decision his wife made, it is likely to be something that impacts everyone around him. Since it remains to be seen what he will do, the details are unlikely to arrive for some time.
