Athena is rescued in 9-1-1 Season 10 Episode 3

Things were not looking good for Athena, Matthew and Harvey in 9-1-1 Season 10 Episode 3, after Maddie diverted the lava onto the subway. Maddie diverted the lava underground and ensured that the molten substance would not harm the residents.

Time was running out for Athena but Harvey proved useful. While his memory was failing, Harvey managed to connect Athena to the call centre after remembering details from his time at the phone company. Athena was devastated when she learned the lava was directed towards them, but Maddie asked Chimney and the 118 for rescue. On the other hand, May learned Athena's whereabouts after the jewelry store owner ended up as a patient in her hospital.

Athena did not trust Matthew, but he surprisingly helped her and Harvey climb up a ladder, and even took a nasty fall in the process, which led to internal bleeding. Fearing the worst as he was losing blood from internal bleeding, Matthew asked Athena to apologize to Martha on his behalf, as the 118 came to the rescue in 9-1-1 Season 10 Episode 3.

Thankfully, the 118 saved the day and rescued Athena, Matthew and Harvey just before another burst of lava entered the tunnel. Matthew survived after he received timely treatment for his injuries.
