So let's recap all the key moments that made this 9-1-1: Lone Star episode unforgettable.

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 10 showed Marjan's surprise wedding

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 10 focused on Marjan's relationship with Joe, played by John Clarence Stewart, and their journey to get married. Things kick off with Joe meeting Marjan's folks, Waleed and Nasreen, at a dinner that's a bit awkward, to say the least. They're stressed because Joe and Marjan don't seem to have their future all figured out, so they hold off on giving their blessing.

Marjan's parents' doubts make her think about who she is and whether she's ready for this big step. She's torn between being the strong and independent "Firefox" at work and the more cautious "Mouse" they see at home. But Joe's unwavering love gives her the courage to stand up and be herself. Natacha Karam, the actress who plays Marjan portrays the character's inner strength.

And let's talk about that wedding outfit! Natacha worked closely with the show's costume team to create this amazing pantsuit, which is like a jumpsuit with an overskirt. It's so Marjan-like—part traditional Lebanese culture and part bold and fearless. She told TVLine that she wanted the wedding to feel true to Marjan's character.

Even though the actual wedding in the show looked like it came together quickly, it was the opposite behind the scenes. The production put a lot of thought into all the details, like having the cake sliced with a sword, which is a Lebanese custom.

The 9-1-1: Lone Star episode ends with a moment between Marjan and Joe after getting hitched. It's a beautiful, intimate scene. It shows how much they've grown together and love each other. It's like Natacha said, they wanted the wedding to be a perfect fit for Marjan, and it was.

Judd's sobriety and faith on 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 10

9-1-1: Lone Star plunged into the personal challenges that Judd, who's played by Jim Parrack, faced with his battle against alcohol and feeling like he'd lost his faith. His wife left for some missionary work, which hit him hard, and he just couldn't shake the sadness. He started drinking again, and it got so bad that he had to go to AA to talk about it.

In one of the meetings, he admitted how sad he was and even sent a text to his wife that he thought God didn't want her to get. Owen, played by Rob Lowe, saw what was happening to his buddy and decided to step up. He had a heart-to-heart with Judd about getting sober and pushed him to get some help.

It got to the point where Judd moved in with Owen so he wouldn't have to deal with the emptiness of his own house. Then, there was a fire at an ammunition factory, and Judd ignored the boss's orders and almost got himself killed because of it.

Owen was so worried that he told him to take a break from work for a bit. But things started to look up when Judd was feeling at his lowest and begged God for some kind of sign. And just like that on 9-1-1: Lone Star, he got a text from his wife, Grace, saying she wanted to talk things out.

Celeb Dirty Laundry said that moment showed how much she means to him like she's the key to him getting back on the right track:

"Grace remains the answer to Judd’s prayers."

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 10 had themes of redemption and hope
