Never mess with Paul Strickland and his sweet treats. 9-1-1: Lone Star fans - and the 126 - learn that the hard way when Firefighter Strickland (Brian Michael Smith) holds his friends captive as he gets to the bottom of the missing pudding cup. 

Was it Marjan? Or TK? The entire crew "likes to recycle," so Paul knows there can only be one suspect who committed the crime - but will they be repentant? Watch the clip below to find out... 

Elsewhere in season four episode 14, 'Tongues Out,' Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) uses Paul's investigative skills to prove Kendra's innocence, following the suspicious death of her husband, and Captain Tommy Vega (Gina Torres) attempts to deal with church gossipers over her relationship with Pastor Trevor. 

The show has been running since 2020 and follows Owen, a former New York firefighter who relocates to Austin, Texas with his son, TK (Ronen Rubinstein), where he works to save people's lives while trying to solve his own personal problems. It has been a huge hit for Fox, and in March was named Best Drama Series at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards.

Who ate Paul's pudding cup?

The show's leading LGBTQ+ men were on hand to accept the award and give a beautiful tribute to their peers. 

"WE WON OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES AT THE 34TH ANNUAL #GLAADAWARDS ! Thank you @GLAAD ! This was truly a surreal moment, one that I will cherish forever," wrote Ronen on social media. 

Sarah Michelle Gellar handed the trio their award, and Brian gave a speech that left many in tears as he spoke of the very real and political threats that are facing the gay and trans communities.

 "Moments like these are a light in dark times for our community," said Brian., who came out as a trans man in 2017 after acting for many years.
