How to Watch and Streaming Details
For those who do not have access to a live NBC broadcast, there are several ways to watch the fall finale. The episode will be available to stream on Peacock, NBC’s streaming platform, the day after it airs on television. Live TV streaming services that carry NBC, such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo, also offer options to watch the episode as it premieres.
The Fall Finale Storyline
Episode 9, “The Fire Fighter,” left one of the season’s major storylines on a tense cliffhanger. The episode featured a special guest appearance by Eric Dane, who played a firefighter named Matthew diagnosed with ALS. While Matthew’s story reached a touching conclusion as he decided to move back home with his family, the episode ended with a medical emergency for another patient.
The young patient, Sam, is in urgent need of a liver transplant but has not been cleared for the procedure by the hospital’s transplant committee. His condition worsened drastically, and the episode concluded with him unconscious as his family arrived at the hospital. Episode 10, “The Gala,” will immediately address this crisis, focusing on the race to save Sam’s life.
