The fourth season of ‘9-1-1 Lone Star’ is gearing up for a ‘big gay wedding’ for its finale, but that big day isn’t going to be as smooth sailing as we all want it to be.

Since the show’s debut in 2020, characters Tyler Kennedy “TK” Strand (played by Ronen Rubinstein) and Carlos Reyes (played by Rafael Silva) have remained a favorite on-screen loved-up couple. While TK and Carlos have been through a lot of ups and downs throughout the show, enduring relationship dramas, including a shocking break-up before capping the third season with a romantic marriage proposal, it seems that the power couple won’t be catching a break even on their wedding day.

‘9-1-1 Lone Star’ creator Tim Minear teased in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that something will happen in the two-hour season finale.

The wedding is going to be beautiful, that’s for sure, and Minear promised that. “It’s going to be a beautiful wedding — we shot it already and I think it’s going to be really emotional,”

However, there’s a caveat. “Although I don’t know if I want to tease that,” he ominously warned, “because what’s going to really happen is tragedy will strike and the entire thing will be put in question.”Whatever this tragedy is, it is kept and guarded as a secret until its revelation in the 18th episode of the season, Minear said.

Of course, with the show’s popularity, it is not surprising that fans have a lot of expectations both for the show and its gay power couple. With such pressure though, Minear reminds everyone that “you can’t please everybody.”

“I know that there’s a lot of enthusiasm around it,” he said, “And look, any fandom feels a certain ownership over the characters and the stories. And that’s good. That means that they love it and that they feel invested.”

“Of course, I’m not going to be able to do absolutely everything that everybody wants, but I think overall people are going to be moved. I mean, the cast was. There was a moment during the reception that plays into sort of the last minutes of the episode, and the entire cast was in tears. They weren’t acting. They were just all incredibly moved.”

9-1-1: Lone Star airs on Fox in the US every Tuesday, 9PM E.T. and streams on Disney+ in the UK.
