We all deal with grief in different ways and on9-1-1: Lone Starthat may result in a kiss.
As they are working through their issues, Tommy and Julius share a kiss.
It’s played off as a mistake and the two appear to move on from it quickly.
They both have a Charles-shaped hole," says series co-creator Tim Minear.
“It’s out of all those things, and that’s really how it plays here.
But I do think that there is a spark between them, which is confusing and potentially dangerous.”
TORRES:I was so mad.
That was so important to me in terms of representation.
Personally, it was something that I’d never got to do.
But there was an everyday grace to this relationship that I loved diving into.
And I miss it.
Those were great scenes having those relationships with couples, and what we share and what we go through.
So, it was hard to let go of that.
It just says even into the lives of people to which it should not happen, comes tragedy.
If the sky isn’t falling on you, you’re having a good day, really.
Charles didn’t walk away, sometimes bad things just happen.
I mean, that’s life.
I love that relationship and I loved seeing them together.
She’s never going to forget him.
I think that they will be reunited in some place.
So where is Tommy at with that struggle when tonight’s episode starts and she sees Julius?
I mean, this is a woman that still wears her wedding ring.
Charles' memory is not in danger.
His daughters are not in danger.
What their marriage, such as it was, is intact.
And whatever happens is from here on out, right?
It is for Tommy to explore.
It’s her life now, and there’s something very freeing about that.
We, particularly as women, take on all so many titles during the course of our lives.
TORRES:I think you make a great point about grief.
Grief manifests itself in so many different ways.
They haven’t lost their minds.
This isn’t about sex.
It’s about love.
What can you tease about what’s to come from here?
And who knows, maybe at some point she’ll get it right.
Hopefully by the end of the journey this season, we will have cemented their places side by side.
