TelaRant is proud to present an exclusive clip from 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 8, airing Monday, November 18 at 8pm ET. FOX renewed the series in 2023 and announced the following year that its fifth season would also be its last. With only a few installments left until the end of the series, Lone Star will probably start tying up loose ends.
Gabriel Reyes’ killer remains unknown, but the synopsis for “The Quiet Ones” states that “a gang murder leads Carlos to new information about his father’s murder.” Meanwhile, “TK contemplates a major life decision as Owen is determined to increase healthcare coverage for Austin’s first responders.” ScreenRant’s a preview takes place in the dispatch center and sees Wyatt answer a frantic 9-1-1 call. Watch the scene below:
Why Wyatt Took Over as Dispatcher on 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5
Grace left the call center to volunteer at Mercy Ships
Wyatt first appears in 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 3, when he looks for Judd at the fire station and claims to be his biological son. After recovering from the initial shock, Judd and Grace welcome Wyatt into their home, and he quickly becomes an integral part of the Ryder family. Judd is determined to make up for lost time, taking every opportunity to support the son he never knew he had.
Inspired by his father, Wyatt drops out of college to join the Fire Academy but is permanently paralyzed after being hit by a truck. Wyatt is devastated by his diagnosis and struggles to find an equally fulfilling career. In the Season 5 premiere, Judd and Marlene surprise their son with a newly renovated house that’s perfect for their family. Grace is not present at the moment, but her husband takes a photo and claims that she is doing the Lord’s work.
It is later revealed that Grace left Texas to volunteer at Mercy Ships, a non-profit organization she found through her church. Sierra McClain’s departure, while disappointing, opens the door for Grace’s stepson to follow in her footsteps and take over as the show’s emergency operator. The work proved to be exactly what Wyatt needed and ensured viewers still felt connected to the voice on the other end of the 9-1-1 call.
