In ABC's Season 9 closer, Theo is revealed as Buck's biological son, while Athena survives an injury and hospital assassination attempt tied to a police corruption case.
Showrunner Tim Minear said Buck's decision after Theo's parents died in a car crash will drive Season 10, exploring whether duty could become adoption.
The finale also leaves Eddie recovering after a stabbing and May heading toward nursing school, as the drama shifts beyond Bobby's death into new family and career storylines.
With Buck now a single father, will a hinted-at ADHD diagnosis complicate his impulsive decision to raise his biological son?
Athena earned her detective badge, but will her new authority attract even more dangerous enemies than she faced as a patrol sergeant?
