Angela Bassett reprised her role as Athena Grant from "9-1-1" in a special crossover episode of "Doctor Odyssey." The episode aired during "Casino Week" and continues the dramatic story of Athena, who previously faced danger on a honeymoon cruise. Athena finds herself locked in a closet on The Odyssey with a maid. After being rescued by Max, she reveals she is trying to leave the ship to work on a heist investigation with the FBI. She was worried about safe-cracking equipment hidden in the bags of a suspect arrested during boarding. Instead of returning to shore, Athena decides to stay on the ship until it reaches Aruba, where she can arrange her travel home. Meanwhile, she finds support from fellow passengers, including a fashion moment with Avery, who brings her dresses to try on. The episode also touches on Avery's pregnancy decision. Athena offers kind advice, reminding her that whatever choice she makes, it's the right one for her. Throughout the episode, there are various medical emergencies. A young passenger named Daphne is seeking a final pleasure trip due to her heart condition. Athena uncovers a plot involving jewel thieves, ultimately apprehending them with help from federal agents. In a heartfelt conclusion, Daphne receives news of a heart transplant waiting for her in LA, while Avery decides to keep her pregnancy after discussing her options with Max. The episode wraps up with emotional moments and decisions that will develop further in future episodes. "Doctor Odyssey" airs new episodes Thursdays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
