Wait for a moment: Yes reciprocal Just killed the leader of the task force?
The latest episode features Bryce (Eric Dane) arrives at a late night meeting in the alley and bleeds after getting into serious trouble. Elsewhere, Jessica Camacho tried to convince Meachum (Jensen Ackles) to tell his boss about his brain tumor, and the two shared it outside his home for a while. Also, Shepherd (Violette Beane) visits from her sister.
Below, stars Jensen Ackles, Jessica Camacho and Bogdan Yasinksi and creator Derek Haas break these pivotal moments.
Did Volchek just kill Blythe?
Astapov (Pasha D. Lychnikoff) of the Belarusian Consulate finally agreed to work with Blythe and Blythe and Volchek (Bogdan Yasinski) in an attempt to explode a dirty bomb in Los Angeles. But when Blythe arrives at the meeting, he finds another dead in an alley chosen by Astapov, and then Volchek stabs him. He saw it in the headlight and left the knife in Bryce. but reciprocal Not to kill Eric Dane's character, right?
Main video
“You will see it in the first two minutes [of Episode 9] A man with apparently military background, multiple task forces, trained by the FBI, will give every ounce of strength and resilience, even trying to see the red flares in the first two minutes of the show. “I love a show where we keep the audience on the toes, you think everyone will do it through it, but they don't all pass.” After all, the task force has lost a member of Jonathan Togo's Drew in episode 4.
As for why he wanted to raise such an apology at this point this season, “It feels like the storyline of the villain and the storyline of the task force are colliding. I really didn't have a chance to kick Bryce out of the office,” the creator explained. “I always described him as he could compete for the contingent politically and strategically. I wanted to see that he might be in the Senate corridor but also got stuck in the perseverance of Los Angeles, so it was really the first time I took him out of the office and then his first chance, but I wanted a member with Volckek.
We can't help but ask whether Volchek is specifically targeting Blythe except Astapov, or is it just a chance incident.
“It's no coincidence,” Yasinski confirmed. “He must be tracking them somehow. He has an entire network, he has some capital. He can do something, he can hire [people]all kinds of things. I think this is his chance not only to take revenge on this threat, but also to play the next level of chess move: whoever I can get. Maybe he didn't know it would be Blythe, but I think it's a good Bogo deal. If you are going to that alley, that's a reliable offer. ”
Meachum keeps the secret of tumors with Blythe
She insisted on telling Blythe after Meachum told Oliveras about his brain tumor. But, like the elements he has in this episode, they are called to the scene when they trace back to Volchek's Gallagher truck being found outside a federal building. (No bombs, but cameras.) Of course, Meachum doesn't want to be replaced, but that doesn't prevent him from solving the case. But that's not the only reason he keeps quiet.
“I don't think he wants to sympathize,” Jensen Ackles told us. “I don't think it's a pity that he wants to tell someone about your situation. I think he wants to get as close to the vest as he can because he doesn't want people to look at him differently. So I think he uses some kind of stand-up as an external excuse, and I really believe him and try to play – looking at your thing more deeply than you, now you'll be different about you, now you don't know your thing, now they don't know your thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and they don't know their thing, and that.”
Haas added: “I actually think what Oliveras said to him would be clean. I don't think that stops him from investigating, even if he is eliminated, he is not eliminated; he is not really following people's orders anyway.
Jessica Camacho once said that Oliveras might do the same thing, not only sitting on the beach and abandoning his last day, but trying to save the city, does that mean she will also diagnose the diagnosis from her boss like he did?
“Honestly, I don't know,” Camacho said. She doesn't want to just know the people she wants to care about, her partner, saves so many lives in this very unique way, which is part of her DNA, and now there's a part of her cell that he doesn't know you don't know your partner. There are risks.
She added that Oliverlas also viewed the situation as: “'I got him.' I think she has such a close attitude to him. There are a lot on her plate.”
Meachum & Oliveras moments
When Oliveras falls hairy words at home at the end of the episode, the two share for a while, when he suggests that she crash in her own position (he will sit on the sofa) and even proposes to make the sound of the machine. She eventually rejects him, telling him that she is not his ex-wife or sister, so that doesn't work.

“I think that scene turned into explosives,” Haas reveled. When it comes to that slow burn, “What I want is, in a very nervous, emotionally, high place, not wanting to do it the wrong way and think that we do it just because all of our feelings are on the table, not to mention Meachum is going through what he is going through. I just want their stars to treat their potentially potential things that hurt everyone’s other friendships. '''''
For Oliveras, that situation is “messy,” Camacho says, “and she doesn't like messy. She likes clean-cut, she likes simple, straightforward, and this potential situation is anything but that. It's vulnerable and layered. And they depend on one another. They're partners, they work together, and you see them discovering this other kind of pull, this curiosity, this shared kind of knowledge that they have, This shared understanding, and this bond that's kind of just naturally organically created.
The shepherd's sister visits
As if facing the main threat to Los Angeles is not enough, Shepherd also has to compete with her sister Molly (Michelle Deshon), although she didn't answer the phone and told her mother that she can't be there at the moment. The first thing Molly wanted to do was to go out with her sister, but the Shepherd refused, reminding her that she was a task force and telling her that she was thinking about someone other than herself (not safe in LA). In return, Molly said that without an audience there, she could save it to someone who doesn’t know what she is. Yes, Molly is named after Haas's mother, like a bar Chicago Fire yes.
“I named the bar after my mom because my mom is from Texas and never drank her life, and it's a total teetaler. So I think it's also fun because the messy sister is called Molly. It's just an inner joke to me and my family,” the creator said.
“I think it’s a cool idea to do this, and the younger siblings are people who live together, while the older siblings are people who need hard love. “So, will there be an audience now like a shepherd before joining the FBI? [it’s] A glimpse of the shepherd's personal life. ”

It is also about showing how family members react to a person’s work. “I think that on these shows, when you do a crime show, a lot of times people think that the life of a law enforcement character is just about what’s going on in the show, and everyone who has ever worked in a job knows that in real life, that’s not that. Your family doesn’t respect your time, you’re going to say a lot of time, you’re going to say, “I’ve started.” “They would be like, “Oh, you're dramatic,” Haas explained. “It's true that FBI agents and Task Force members and police officers, and this investigation is not a week-long investigation.” Most task forces sometimes go on for years and life doesn’t stop. So I just think it's an interesting dramatic factor to have a family member who disrespects what's going on in the world. ”
Flashback
In Flashback in 2021, Volchek was bribed by LAPD in city officials, and when he was in the LAPD area, Meachum and Finau (Uli Latukefu) happened to walk by talking about a case.
“I just like the idea – I think about it often, right? I've been married for 30 years, we met while in college, and I wonder how many times we've walked before that. I've worked in a shopping mall and a shoe store in high school, I just wondered who doesn't know my fate, and then I thought about their real victory, that's their real victory, that's their real victory, that's their regret, that's a vision. Said.
