There has to be some effect from all of that, right?

JOSHUA JACKSON: Thats actually a very good point.

No matter what happens from here, you cant really unring the bell.

He reacted in a fairly self-serving way.

Tristan definitely shifts, and Max shifts too.

Regardless of whatever way this thing might go,we are all now fundamentally different going forward.

All aboard this pleasure cruise with odd health emergencies and a love triangle.

Sean, Tristan seems to be out in the water with Spencer when all of this chaos starts.

What will that be like for him to deal with?

What is that like to shoot, when youre in that moment of panic of not knowing whats happening?

TEALE: Any time spent with Marcus Mitchell is time well spent.

Its a lovely experience.

He is a phenomenal actor and a great guy.

First Officer Munroe, the handsome man that is, is also a great and noble person.

Its not nice for anyone, let alone someone that hes so close to.

Typically, when sharks are involved, shark-inflicted wounds are also pretty gnarly.

What can you say about the injuries that everyone is going to be facing and dealing with?

TEALE: They were the gnarliest that Ive had to face on camera.

I had to plug some holes.

It was a mortifying experience, actually.

JACKSON: Youre not going to pivot into a trauma surgeon in the off-season?

TEALE: No, unless its on the high seas where the law doesnt matter.

It was really quite something to experience and see.

JACKSON: Yes, agreed.

Don, how is the captain going to react to all of this?

He seems like someone who is very hard to shake in most circumstances.

DON JOHNSON: Thats a very good question.

Doctor Odyssey

This episode that begins the second part of our season is pretty remarkable.

Its the first of a two-parter.

The captains skills, with how he manages the ship and how he manages his people are on display.

This is one of those things where you get more definition into the dynamics of the relationships.

You also conveniently get a trauma surgeon joining in on the chaos with all of this.

What was that like?

JACKSON: Were not big on boundaries, personal or professional.

We dont do that here.

It seems like theres no way that shes not a dominant badass.

JACKSON: She doesnt mesh with us.

We mesh with her.

I was just happy to be there and willing to follow her lead.

JOHNSON: I had the enviable position of welcoming her into her suite and showing her around.

Shes the real deal, and thats fun for us.

I would have loved to welcome her on the show.

We had some moments.

Actually, outside of filming, I loved speaking with her.

Shes fabulous and brilliant.

We had briefly done something before together, a very, very long time ago.

Tristan, to some degree, is handling a series of other crises whilst our heroes are handling her.

Sadly, it was not as much time with Angela as I would like.

JACKSON: That was by design.

JOHNSON: She asked for that.

Is ‘9-1-1’ heading back to sea?

Don, I feel like theres still so much left to learn about your character.

What would you still like to know about the captain?

JOHNSON: Whether he can tap dance.

That has served me well.

So, Im excited to learn more about him.

JACKSON: And he looks great in slacks.

JOHNSON: And I look great in espadrilles.

TEALE: And nothing else.

JOHNSON: Just the espadrilles.
