9-1-1: Nashville Returns With Cyberattack Arc Targeting Medical Implants

Showrunner Rashad Raisani says the crisis concludes next week, signaling a pivot to character payoffs.

Overview

  • The midseason premiere advances a ransomware-style attack on Nashville, with threats linked to compromised medical devices harming residents.
  • ABC’s trailer displays a $10 million demand and a six-hour countdown that frames the escalating stakes for first responders.
  • Episode 7, titled “You’ve Been Boarded,” picks up with the city under siege, and the official logline highlights Don’s urgent search after losing contact with Blythe.
  • Raisani tells TVLine the hacking storyline will reach its conclusion in next Thursday’s episode, teasing a reveal connected to established characters rather than a random culprit.
  • ABC has confirmed future crossover appearances from the original 118 and an origin episode for Don later this season, with the series having resumed January 8 at 9 p.m. ET.
