911 Season 5 Episode 12, “Boston,” explains what happened to Maddie following her leaving Chimney and their daughter, with the two reconnecting in the midst of a St. Patrick’s Day celebration while a new colleague required medical attention. The couple discussed everything after that. Maddie admitted, what happened to Jee-Yun in the bathtub was an accident, but “trying to kill herself wasn’t,” adding that she got out of the water for Chimney and their girl. They were all heading home as a family by the end of the episode.
We begin Episode 12 with a flashback to 6 months ago, when Maddie slept off for a moment and mistakenly let Jee-Yun go beneath the water while providing her with a bath. It was a mishap, but it horrified Maddie and filled her with guilt. We now know what truly happened. Maddie went out to a beach and lay in the sand for a bit, looking completely exhausted. She eventually stepped out into the water, fully dressed, with no plans to return to the beach. She swam back to the surface, struggling for oxygen when her thoughts returned to Chimney and her daughter. She only wanted to live.
911 Season 5 Episode 12 Recap
Maddie travels to Massachusetts Community Hospital in Boston, where she studied to become a nurse. During a doctor’s appointment, Maddie discusses her recent suicide attempt and how she’s suffered from depression since the death of her brother, Daniel. During her hospital stay, Maddie discovers she has post thyroiditis, which can be treated with hormone therapy. She tears with relief because she hasn’t really been able to figure out what’s wrong with her after Jee-Yun was born.
They admit her to the Women’s Center’s outpatient programme. Maddie begins attending group therapy and befriends Kira, a mother attempting to recover from a DUI while riding with her son in the backseat. Chimney’s road trip to meet Maddie has begun, and he’s giving her updates on Jee-Yun through email at this point. Buck answers the phone when Maddie asks him why Chimney is in Utah, as he observes the Old North Church bells in the distance.

They Reunite
Chimney reveals to Eli as they walk down the street during the parade festivities that this is the greatest he’s felt in a year. They are shortly interrupted, however, by a guy with an axe lodged in the back of his skull as a result of an axe tossing incident. Maddie is desperately looking for Kira when she gets a phone call. It’s a bartender from a nightclub, and he informs her that he believes her friend requires assistance. When Kira arrives, they carry her outside, and Maddie fears she’s starting to aspirate. The bartender dials 9-1-1, and thankfully, there’s an ambulance nearby… which just happens to be carrying Eli and Chimney.
Eli is the first to rush over, and Chimney is not far behind. Chimney and Maddie are both shocked when they see each other… come to the tears. Maddie discovers Chimney standing for her outside the hospital after bringing Kira there. He knew that if he sat on that bench long enough, he’d see Maddie come out through those doors. Chimney starts to explain to Maddie what occurred with Jee-Yun in the bathtub was a mistake, and she surprises him by saying that attempting suicide was not.
Maddie tells Chimney about her suicide attempt and how she got out of the water for him and his daughter, and how she travelled to Boston to be healthy. Chimney is reassured that what happened was not his fault, but he still takes responsibility because he should have taken the warning indications more carefully. They both agree that they must be open and honest about how they feel and what they want in the future. And what is Maddie’s current desire? To meet with her daughter.
Jee-Yun Has Grown So Much
Chimney takes Maddie to Eli’s to visit Jee-Yun, and she pauses when she realises how big she’s grown. Maddie is hesitant to hold her because it has been so long, and she knows Jee-Yun dislikes strangers. She tears as she realises how many of her daughter’s developmental milestones she has missed in the last six months.
Later in 911 Season 5 Episode 12, she visits the hospital to see Kira, who must now go through detox again, followed by some other 60 days of outpatient care. The two share a heart-to-heart as Kira tells Maddie that she can still be there for all of Jee Yun’s upcoming significant milestones; she just needs to forgive herself. Chimney arrives at Maddie’s apartment with a tearful Jee-Yun in tow. For a few seconds, things are uncomfortable until Maddie says she wants to try something new. She starts singing to her, and she calms down. Jee-Yun then approaches Maddie and says, “Mama.” Maddie expresses her desire to return home to Chimney.
