9-1-1: Lone Star will not be a supernatural drama, however there’s no denying the magic we noticed on display screen this week.
Tuesday’s episode discovered Grace as soon as once more wrestling together with her father’s previous infidelity, finally lashing out at him for making her complicit in his secret. Naturally, she then blamed herself when Papa Williams suffered a coronary heart assault whereas babysitting Charlie and wanted emergency surgical procedure.
Then got here the magic: Whereas seated at her father’s bedside, Grace was joined by her sisters (performed by Sierra McClain‘s real-life siblings China Anne and Lauryn) for a harmonious efficiency of Nat King Cole’s “Smile” that woke Benjamin after surgical procedure.
“It was a whole out-of-body expertise,” McClain tells TVLine of attending to sing alongside her sisters on display screen. The trio, which now data below the title Thriii, final sang on TV collectively in a 2012 episode of Disney Channel’s A.N.T. Farm. “It was one factor to speak about it with [showrunner Tim Minear], however once we have been truly on that mattress they usually say motion and your two real-life sisters are standing there subsequent to you when you’re taking part in a personality that you simply’ve performed for 4 years — it’s simply, I don’t know.

The concept to convey her sisters onto the present was McClain’s concept, a proposal to which Minear was extraordinarily receptive throughout their pre-season chat about Grace’s upcoming storylines. And it was Minear who recommended “Smile,” a tune the McClain sisters had by no means sung collectively earlier than. Studying music producer Tim Davis’ “lovely” association and recording together with her sisters within the studio was “a magical expertise throughout.”
This was additionally an eventful episode for Owen, who discovered that Kendra is in an open marriage, which led to an comprehensible breakup.

Brett’s precise explanation for demise is believed to be poison, and because the man courting his spouse, Owen is sort of definitely on the brief checklist of suspects.
Grace was too busy together with her circle of relatives drama to weigh in on the Owen scenario, however McClain thinks it’s all for the very best.
“You realize, I’m truly undecided Grace would have a lot to say, to be sincere with you,” McClain says. “She would in all probability simply watch and nod and say slightly prayer. Simply once you suppose Owen’s achieved all of it… not fairly!”
