At long last, taciturn Texas Ranger Cord Walker (Chuck Norris) and Assistant D.A. Alex Cahill (Sheree J. Wilson) have gotten married, as Walker, Texas Ranger launches its ninth and final season. Alas, a pall is cast over the couple's happiness when Walker's closest friend, C.D. (Noble Willingham), is mysteriously killed. More disturbing still is the revelation that C.D.'s death is a part of a campaign of terror waged by a vicious killer who has sprung several other criminals from a maximum security prison, for the purpose of knocking off as many Texas Rangers as possible -- with Walker saved for last. Among the victims of this vendetta is Walker's partner Jimmy Trivette (Clarence Gilyard Jr.), though he manages to survive. In the series finale, Walker and a very pregnant Alex visit Jimmy in the hosptial, where Alex suddenly goes into labor, giving birth to a baby daughter. Once again, however, the couple's happiness may be short-lived -- literally so, when the assassin who has been decimating the Rangers shows up with a grenade strapped to his belt, intent upon blowing everyone whom the audience cares about to kingdom come! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
