Trailer For 9-1-1 Season 9
Consuelos fits into his role for the primetime show. In the trailer, he plays Tripp Houser, who nearly gets swallowed by a whale while kayaking, as reported via People.
Eddie (Ryan Guzman) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) were at the right place, at the right time. They found him and brought him safely back to shore.
As Tripp regains consciousness, he tells Hen, “I wanna reward you for it.” Hen assures him that she was only doing her job. But Tripp won’t take no for an answer.
Blasting Off Into Space
Last month, 9-1-1 fans got a glimpse at Season 9, which shows some of the crew from Station 118 blasting into space. Now, we know that Tripp is the reason for this bizarre move.
He wants to send Hen into space, but she doesn’t want to go alone. She asks Karen (Tracie Thomas) to go with her, but she refuses. Karen doesn’t think Tripp is interested in science.
Athena (Angela Bassett) joins Hen on the trip. “I can’t believe I let you talk me into this,” she said. Tripp ignores the calls to “scrub the launch” since he’s a stubborn man who does what he wants.
He moves forward with sending Athena, Hen, and his “everyday heroes” into space, despite the fact that meteors are crashing into the Earth. Station 118 has a lot of work on its hands, both on Earth and in space.
