**Blindsided** is the ninth episode and spring premiere of the fourth season of *9-1-1* and the fifty fifth episode overall. It aired on April 19, 2021.

## Synopsis

Athena and the 118 race to save lives after a drunk driver causes a deadly pile-up going the wrong way on the freeway and are shocked to discover who one of the injured is. Meanwhile, Maddie is determined to finish her shift before going into labor; and Hen and Karen are heartbroken as Nia prepares to be reunited with her birth mother.

## Plot

Chimney finds Buck in the hospital and tells him of the birth before noticing the bag Albert had and asks where he is. Buck gives Chim a sad expression and the latter realizes the meaning.

Chim visits the comatose Albert and begs for him to awake.

At the end, Wyatt visits a recovering Jacob who upon awakening inquires about his mother, to his father's dismay. Meanwhile, a remorseful Rachel is visited by the police who promptly arrest her for her crimes,

## Trivia

* This episode, and its spinoff series, both premiered with new episodes on the same night and shared similar storylines:
	+ A drunk driver causing nearly fatal incidents for the main characters; On 9-1-1, it was Albert Han, while on *9-1-1:Lone Star* it was Judd and Grace,

### Continuity

* This episode is set 9 and a half months past What's Next?, as proven that Sue mentions Maddie is 9 and a half months pregnant in one of the previews.
	+ That said, it has been 4 and a half months since the beginning of the season, as that was set 5 months past the season three finale.
* May receives a friend request on Facebook from Laila, one of the girls who had bullied her into attempting suicide back in "Let Go". Athena then arrested her partly for possession of weed at a party in "Worst Day Ever", and partly as a feeling of retaliation.
