For many, the tragic downfall of Bobby Nash was too devastating to believe. The most obvious argument in favor of Bobby’s death being a fake-out lies in the virus he was exposed to— rather than contracting a typical case of CCHF, Bobby was felled by a super-strain created by 9-1-1’s Moira Blake (Bridget Regan). Whereas a normal case of CCHF has an average mortality rate of 30% and progresses over the course of weeks, Moira’s strain causes organ failure within hours. The prevailing theory posits that, since it vastly accelerated the symptoms, Moira’s strain could cause a temporary deathlike state.
A more fanciful take on Bobby’s “fake” death stems from 9-1-1 season 8, episode 15’s ending song. The lyrics of Hozier’s “Work Song” are deeply romantic but, when taken literally, point to a sense of immortality. The chorus includes phrases such as “when my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold, dark earth” and “no grave could hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her.” While the music perfectly fits the devastating conclusion between Bobby and Athena, it could be interpreted as a cheeky nod to Bobby escaping his own grave soon to “crawl home” to Athena.
