The 118 is taking a night off tonight, but here's when 911 returns with new episodes

As a long-time fan of ABC’s thrilling series, 911, I must confess that the sudden break in the action on this spooktacular Halloween night has left me feeling rather chilly. While I understand the network’s concern for ratings and families out trick-or-treating, it’s a bit like waiting for the witching hour to pass before the ghostly good times can begin.


Unlike other networks airing fresh episodes of their most popular series tonight on October 31, ABC is taking a break from “911” and the rest of its Thursday Night TV lineup (TGIT).

Instead of airing TGIT entertainment this coming Halloween night, the network decides to take a break, understanding that many viewers might be participating in trick-or-treating activities instead.

What will 911 return with new episodes?

As a gamer, I’m pumped to know that the next episode of my favorite series, 911, is just around the corner! The promo for season 8, episode 6 hinted at its release in two weeks. So, mark your calendars folks, we’re diving back into the action on Thursday, Nov. 7!

It’s not a very extended period to endure. Clearly, ABC was keen on ensuring the linear ratings remained unaffected by the family tradition of trick-or-treating. Given that they had already aired their Halloween special last week with episode number 118.

In addition, there won’t be a repeat of the series. Instead, ABC has chosen to air a re-run of “Press Your Luck”, but the reason behind this decision remains unclear.

What to expect in 911 season 8, episode 6

In the upcoming episode, there’s a situation reminiscent of a past event: a child has tumbled into a pipe and can’t get out. Previously, it was Eddie who rescued the child, but as Bobby points out, Eddie won’t be able to do so this time because he’s too large for the space.

A safer alternative would be to send another child to descend the pipe, although it’s crucial to note that this situation is risky. Even though emergency services will do their utmost to ensure the boy’s safety, there’s no absolute assurance that ropes won’t break or the child might panic during the descent.

Currently, a call leads Athena to a building’s rooftop. The caller seems upset over a divorce matter, which might stir old emotions among the 118 team members.

Check out the promo and synopsis for 911 season 8, episode 6 to be prepared for the show’s return:

When a toddler falls down a pipe and becomes trapped, the 118 must rely on more than their skills to rescue him. Meanwhile, old wounds are opened when members of the 118 race to the aid of a man dealing with a divorce.

911 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC. Catch up the following day on Hulu.
