In tonight's 9-1-1 episode, Maddie returned to work. She probably shouldn't have, but she did. She had been through a horrible ordeal. She faced down a serial killer and survived. The sad part is that she's been through a lot more than just that. She was in an abusive marriage. She struggled with postpartum depression.

She's always been able to bounce back and she thought she could do so again tonight. She thought taking off for five weeks was pushing it. She even tried to ignore her own body. She's still having nightmares. She thought returning to work would help with those nightmares because she always dreams about work.

Maddie's recurring dream was about someone calling into 911 saying they've been kidnapped. The person in trouble always said their name is Maddie Han. Maddie was dreaming about taking her own 911 call. She thought the dream would go away if she returned to work. She would start being useful again.

It would also shake the fear of catching another serial killer on her next call. What Maddie didn't know was that she would meet a child in danger. The little boy was nine. He said his name is Chance.

There was a lot of smoke in the apartment. His fire alarm was going off. He went to go wake his dad and the dad wasn't moving. Chance didn't know his address. They recently moved.

He just knew his father worked for the paper across the street. Maddie was able to track the building he was in. The firefighters just didn't know which apartment. Maddie convinced Chance to open a window. She was advising him to put the sheet in the open window when it all became too much for her. She froze in fear. Josh had to take over.

Josh stayed on the line with Chance until he was rescued. The boy was saved only Maddie couldn't talk. She truly couldn't bring herself to talk. Maddie later went to the doctor.

She thought almost getting strangled to death scarred her throat and it hadn't. Her throat was fine. It was the trauma that took her voice away. The doctor told her as much. He suggested therapy and he didn't back down or lied to them no matter how much Chimney was hoping to find a physical reason for Maddie losing her voice.
