The chemistry was absolutely there, right off of [the screen tests], but then, getting to know him as a person, and him getting to know me as a person, we share so many points of views, and the way we see the world, and the way we work as artists, too, and how we care about the things that we care about. It was, dare I say, effortless? Because it just worked, it just worked. You know, it's like two puzzle pieces, when we finally find a puzzle that goes together, it just makes sense.

You are here for a reason. You exist for a reason. And any day that you spend not nurturing the self that is you, the life that is you, the world experiences the disservice of not witnessing your brilliance. So, if you watched that scene and you felt loved, and you felt seen, and you have your Carlos next to you, it's because you deserve it.

Showrunner Tim Minear breaks down the finale and teases Season 4.

I loved the proposal and the “Tyler” part. How’d you decide how the proposal would happen?

Tim Minear: I wasn’t sure if there was gonna be a proposal at the beginning of this year, but then as the story unfolded, it felt like the story was telling me that it was time and they’d earned it. The manner in which it happened just organically grew out of this episode. The moment that T.K. has with Owen when he tells him we only have so many moments and you have to live for the one that you’re in, that’s of course the thing that really wakes T.K. up and gets him to do it.

What I didn’t want to do was some clichéd, follow the rose petals to the bottle of champagne, here’s a ring kind of thing. I wanted to do something that felt real, and to me that felt real. It felt real that T.K. was just sitting there watching him sleep at three in the morning and woke him up and said, “OK, I’m ready to make my will.” That felt like T.K. to me. And also Rafael is so hilarious getting woken up out of a sound sleep.

After their rough season, what makes them ready for this step now?

It’s because of the stuff they went through. The breakup that happened off-camera and the reveal of what happened, that T.K. freaked out because things were too good and that he actually almost used again and then inadvertently ended up using again because of Sadie, I feel like the end of his adolescence happened at the beginning of this season. He’s a little bit immature in some ways. He finally got through that. And Carlos, he was put back on his heels a little bit. Carlos is not perfect. He’s a little bit controlling. He’s a little bit probably ready to get married the next day. That’s Carlos.

Carlos needed to take a step back and T.K. needed to take a step forward. The stuff that happened to them this season allowed that to happen for both of them. Carlos completely took a step back in the episode where we met T.K.’s sponsor. He knew that he couldn’t be everything to T.K. and he didn’t need to grip so tightly. Once they both learned that, they were ready.

Did you ever consider having the engagement celebration be a bigger event, with everyone?

At one point I was gonna have a big party at the firehouse, not so much an engagement celebration, but it was gonna actually be Wyatt’s [Jackson Pace] graduation party and all these different threads would’ve happened [there]. But when I finished writing the season finale, that just felt like a redux of the push-in ceremony that was in Episode 4. It felt like these discrete scenes, Tommy [Gina Torres] with Owen, the people who go to the 126 hangs, Judd and Grace [Sierra McClain] at home congratulating Wyatt on his graduation, Tommy now by herself with her daughters out having fun in the world, I wanted to see those little pockets of the world intercut together as opposed to one big party dedicated to one story thread.

What’s next for T.K. and Carlos? Will we see the wedding?

We’ll definitely see the wedding. … The big next step in the relationship is planning and executing a wedding. I think it’d be a big one. I don’t think Carlos’ mother would allow them to run off to City Hall.

After having survived numerous near-death experiences, paramedic T.K. Strand (Ronen Rubinstein) and police Officer Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) — the fan-favorite couple known affectionately as “Tarlos” — finally decided to get engaged in Monday’s season three finale of “9-1-1: Lone Star.”

In the episode, T.K. found Carlos updating his will, leading to a fight over T.K.’s refusal to plan his own estate. But after having nearly lost his father, Owen (Rob Lowe), in a building explosion, T.K. — who had unexpectedly lost his mother, Gwyn (Lisa Edelstein), earlier in the year — had a change of heart, waking Carlos up in the middle of the night to declare that he would leave everything to his “husband,” meaning Carlos, before he popped the question.

“My life has been scarred with loss, and at times, it’s felt inescapable,” T.K. told Carlos. “But that’s the risk of love, right? For the first time in my life, the love that I feel is infinitely more powerful than the fear of losing it. … Every moment that we’re not married is a wasted moment. And baby, we only get so many.”

T.K.’s impromptu proposal was one of many endings that Rubinstein and Silva said they discussed with co-creator and showrunner Tim Minear. This version was ultimately chosen to hark back to how T.K., a recovering addict, was introduced in the pilot, when his last failed marriage proposal led him to relapse and overdose on painkillers.

“I think what the finale symbolizes in many ways is closing the chapter on your past traumas, on your past demons,” Rubinstein said in a joint video interview with Silva. “With T.K., I think it’s the initial proposal that almost led to his death, and I think this is a new chapter for him and everything’s going to be OK, it seems like. And he’s actually found the man of his dreams and somebody that he wants to spend the rest of his life with.”

Rubinstein said he loved the idea of the proposal’s “being something that he just has to get off his chest.”

“He literally wakes [Carlos] up at 3 in the morning,” Rubinstein added with a laugh. “And he’s like: ‘Marry me right now! I can’t wait any longer!’ It’s so romantic in many ways.”

Silva, who said he “was very happy” and that he “got super excited” when he read the final script last month, revealed that the proposal was shot with multiple cameras “rolling at the same time,” allowing him and Rubinstein to stay in the moment during every take.

“The reactions that you’re getting are not layered in the sense where we’re cutting bits and creating this sort of performance,” he said. “You’re getting it live from both of us at the same time.”

Rafael L. Silva knows that representation matters. And he knows that especially for people in a community like the LGBTQ+ community, representation can be a a bit of good news and love in a world full of hate and discrimination and ignorance. So when his character Carlos got engaged to his boyfriend TK (Ronen Rubinstein) on this week’s season finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star, Silva felt like he got to do something really special.

“We need this type of relationship on network TV. We need it right at the front. Right where it is convenient for people to see – and it might be inconvenient for those who don’t come across the LGBTQ+ community very often,” he tells Out. “It needs to create dialogue where dialogue doesn't exist about the community. Because if you live under the spell of misconception and ignorance of what this community is, then you're not going to have a clear picture.”

The reason he knows it’s so important is that he’s always looking for that kind of positive representation himself in everything he watches.

“I, myself, as an artist and being part of the queer community, I look for that everywhere I go, too,” he says. “I look for that as I'm watching movies. I'm extremely critical of whether I see queer characters in a movie, in a franchise, or a series. The sort of diversity that I want to be in the world, that I want to see in the world.”

9-1-1: Lone Star has been doing a great job of showing that diversity, especially when it comes to the types of families featured on the show. And in doing so, Lone Star becomes a new type of “family values” series: one for a more progressive and inclusive generation.

Gay characters have come a long way since Steven Carrington (Al Corley) kept sleeping with women on the OG version of Dynasty. Case in point: 9-1-1: Lone Star celebrated same-sex couple Tyler “TK” Strand (Ronen Rubenstein) and Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) getting engaged when the paramedic proposed to the policeman in the Season 3 finale. Needless to say, fans can’t wait for the action drama to return midseason 2023 on Fox.

TV Insider recently caught up with Silva and Rubenstein at the second annual queer television festival The OutFronts in Hollywood to chat with the actors about Tarlos’ engagement and when viewers can expect to hear literal wedding bells.

Both Rubenstein and Silva are aware of the responsibility that comes with telling a same-sex love story on network television. “I can only be grateful to be a part of it and to represent it honestly,” Silva shares.

Tarlos fans dissected the proposal scene and immediately noticed that at one point Carlos referred to TK as “Tyler,” his birth name, which was pretty much used only by his late mother Gwyn (Lisa Edelstein). “I don’t even know if I realized [Rafael did that] to be honest,” Rubenstein shares. “It wasn’t until later when people started bringing it up that I did. If anyone has ‘earned’ the right to call TK ‘Tyler’ it’s his mom, his dad [Owen Strand, played by Rob Lowe], and Carlos.”

Silva says that calling TK ‘Tyler’ wasn’t scripted. “I chose to say it,” he reveals. “There are very few people who know TK as ‘Tyler.’ Carlos is one of those people. I wanted Carlos to be the closest person to TK. Making that choice was very intentional.”

Silva adds that the script supervisor is both a good friend of his and was on top of her job by pointing out to the actor during filming that the printed word was “TK.” But after episode director Bradley Buecker confabbed with showrunner Tim Minear, the decision was made to keep ‘Tyler.’ “It’s my job to know my character and add to the script if needed,” Silva says.

Tarlos fans have plenty to celebrate after Monday night's season 3 finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star.

After three seasons of trauma for T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein) and Carlos (Rafael Silva), the firefighter and police officer are engaged — albeit after an unconventional 3 a.m. proposal.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Given that we started the series with T.K. reeling from a rejected marriage proposal, what was your reaction when they first told you Carlos and T.K. were getting engaged?

RAFAEL SILVA: It's kind of hard not to dream about situations like this, especially with this relationship that's been going for three years, three seasons. So we kind of expected it, kind of dreamed about it, but obviously it was such good news to receive. I was just super excited.

It's not a slam-dunk proposal, coming in the middle of the night and with Carlos freaking out thinking something is wrong…

SILVA: My first impression of the script was, "Oh, this is funny!" When you read it it's actually funny, because you wake up at 3 a.m. and I'm having PTSD over the house burning down — but also the lizard, in a way. And so I think in that moment it's definitely not something that Carlos was expecting, despite this being a man he loves intensely. But I think also we've seen the history of this relationship: T.K. can be a bit impulsive, a little bit messy, a little bit all over the place. And Carlos is the one who tries to keep everything together. Each are beautiful in their own way.

...

SILVA: It's incredibly important to have this type of storyline be on national television right now — especially with the endless amounts of anti LGBTQIA+ bills trying to be passed in multiple states in the United States. To have this sort of representation right at the forefront is extremely imperative.

It was just announced that Lone Star will officially return for season 4. Do you hope for a speedy wedding or a long engagement?

SILVA: I want to wait. I want to make sure we give these boys some time to really go through the motions of preparing the wedding — what does it mean to be engaged, and people's reactions. And I want to go through that journey.

The moment every #Tarlos has been waiting for finally arrived in the finale — T.K. and Carlos are engaged!

“There was a lot of conversation about how to do it,” Minear says of the big moment. “For me, it just felt like the story was telling me to do it. You get to this point where T.K. and Carlos have both been through the wringer. Owen has also been through the wringer. You realize what’s important and how transitory a moment can be. Owen learns that in this episode, and I thought it would be nice if T.K. also learned that.”

Minear had “a couple of different endgames” for the couple this season, not wanting a proposal to feel “rushed.” But as the events of the season unfolded, “it felt like the right time.” He admits, “If you had asked me at the beginning of this season if I thought they were going to get engaged, I probably would have said no.”

And if you swooned a little bit when Carlos referred to T.K. as “Tyler” while accepting the proposal, you apparently have Rafael Silva to thank for that.

“I’m pretty sure that was Rafa,” Minear says. “I’m not sure that was actually on the page. I think it was probably Rafa.”
