In season 5, Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Chimney (Kenneth Choi) left their home and friends in Los Angeles, taking an extended break before returning nine episodes later no longer a couple. Maddie's last prior appearance was in season 5, episode 3, "Desperate Measures," with Chimney leaving to find her in episode 4, "Home and Away." While there were production reasons for the break, namely Jennifer Love Hewitt's own pregnancy, the in-universe 9-1-1 storyline to justify it ended up being one of its most realistic plot arcs — an honest portrayal of postpartum depression.

After stealing the One Ring and fighting with Frodo (Elijah Wood), Gollum (Andy Serkis) plunged into the fiery pits, and the One Ring was finally destroyed. The destruction of the Ring triggered the death of Sauron, who could not exist without the One Ring's power. Mordor collapsed, and the war was finally over. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) becomes the King of Gondor. While peace seems to have returned, there is still some question about what comes next.
