The key conflict for the show’s power couple leading up to9-1-1season, 8 episode 9has been their lack of permanent residency, but it’s gone unresolved for the first half of the current year.

What Happened To Bobby And Athena’s House
9-1-1 Season 7 Marked The End Of That Set
Their previous home, the house Athena lived in since the pilot episode, was last seen in the9-1-1season 7 finale (“All Fall Down”). Duringthe ending of9-1-1season 7, the house was set on fire within the narrative canon of the show. Bobby saved Athena from the fire, leaving him to wade in yet another near-death experience that he eventually escaped from unscathed. This time, however, the old house permanently burned down as collateral damage.

Aside from a logical resolution in the plot, the house had to go due to9-1-1switching networks. For the truncated season 7 onwards,9-1-1moved to ABCafter Fox canceled it to prioritize its spinoff,9-1-1: Lone Star. The house, a recognizable set from the first six seasons, couldn’t be changed without the dedicated fans noticing. To explain the disappearance of the established setting,9-1-1season 7 implemented the arson plot.
