I'll start with what I found at Spoiler Fix:

- 08/02 - Episode 1.01 - Pilot [Airing October 4]: The episode starts with a glimpse of the nine going about their day: Jeremy (Scott Wolf) is a surgeon; Lizzie (Jessica Collins) is his girlfriend and she has something to tell him; Egan (John Billingsley) wants a boat loan, but doesn't think his wife will approve--he plans to kill himself; Malcolm (Chi McBride) is the bank manager; Felicia (Dana Davis) is his daughter; Eva (Lourdes Benedicto) and Franny (Camille Guaty) are sisters and work at the bank; Nick (Tom Daly) is a cop with a gambling problem and a crush on Eva; Kathryn (Kim Raver) is an assistant district attorney sleeping with her boss (Tom Verica). We see the robbers, Lucas (Owain Yeoman) and Randall (Jeffrey Pierce) in the car making the final arrangements as each of the nine make their way inside the bank. The robbery begins and then the episode skips to 52 hours later, when they are finally rescued. The rest of the episode shows us how the nine bonded during the ordeal, and we see how they changed from the glimpse we got at the beginning of the episode.

- 08/11 - Episode 1.02 - Hero's Welcome: This episode introduces new recurring characters: Rachel Kim (Kathryn's secretary) and Ricky (Eva's son). Sean McDermott, a high-profile lawyer, takes on a high-profile case pro bono to get attention. An L.A. morning talk show reports speculation that the hostage situation may have been mismanaged and compares it to Waco. Kathryn meets with Monica Tice, a reporter for the L.A Times investigating the robbery. Nick visits Kathryn at work and leaves after waiting around for 30 minutes. A man undergoes a risky heart operation. Malcolm interviews a new banker.

- 08/22 - Episode 1.03 - What's Your Emergency: Nick asks Mario, a coroner, to look at Randall's medical chart for signs of foul play. Egan quit his job and is at the employment office looking for something creative and not in a cubicle. He runs into Franny there, who is now taking care of Ricky, Eva's son. Kathryn is back at work trying to show everyone she has not gone soft and can still handle the same load as before, but squeezing witnesses seems to be getting harder.

Sounds pretty interesting.

TV.com has the title for the fourth episode as Brother's Keeper.

Spoilerfix didn't give away the twist. At the end of the pilot, one of the robbers is shown in a visitation booth in prison. He picks up the phone to talk to the person on the other side. Pan over to Felicia, the banker's daughter, on the other side. She says hello and cut to black. Great ending to the pilot, and it's a lot creepier than I make it sound.

Yeah, this was cool.

I wonder if there was some special reason for Felicia to come to the bank. She is the most intriguing character for me right now.

From Ask Ausiello:

Ausiello: Sasha Alexander joins the cast on Nov. 22 as Nick's ex-wife, and she's bringing trouble with her — she's working a case that brings Nick into danger and may rekindle old sparks between them.

From TV Guide:

Yay. The likelihood of shirtless Tim Daly just shot way up. But Egan's poker party cannot be good news for Nick's gambling problem. I'm guessing Egan'll still be crashing at his place.

Spoiler Fix has one more bit about the 9th episode. Nothing too exciting. It's called "The Inside Man" and involves a former FBI agent who's written a book, LAPD detectives questioning the hostages, and a reporter going for a scoop.

Spoilers/teasers from the November 8th episode courtesy of TV Guide....

Fellow fans of ABC's The Nine (and I know you are out there, and an impassioned bunch at that): I had the chance to screen this week's episode, and it's a good one. (A particularly juicy one, even, for Kathryn-Nick 'shippers.) Without revealing too much, I can tell you that you will see:
— A marriage proposal, followed by a, um, "atypical" response
— A poker game, hosted by Egan, that impacts the direction of definitely one, perhaps two, and maybe even three lives
— A first kiss — and then some!
— A good chunk of flashback, tying into the episode's title ("Take Me Instead") and shedding light on Nick's "heroism" and perhaps also why he punched out the negotiator upon the hostages' release
— Some veddy interesting exchanges between Lucas and Lizzie, both in present time and during the ordeal
— A final scene involving Malcolm that had me going, "Wha?!" Still scratching my head over that one!

So tune in, and stay tuned in, tonight at 10 pm/ET!

And the TV Guide summary for the 11/22 episode entitled "Outsiders":

Nick's ex-wife (Sasha Alexander) shows up, and the case she is working on causes trouble for him. Meanwhile, Franny finds something Eva left; and Jeremy and Lizzie deal with their own secret from the robbery. JoBeth Williams guest stars as Jeremy's mother.

So what WAS the first kiss? Jeremy and Franny had kissed before (at the funeral, before they started doing other stuff than kissing!) And I'm pretty sure that Ed and Kathryn had kissed before. So I spent the entire hour waiting for Lizzie to kiss Lucas or for Nick and Kathryn to kiss and now, damn it, I am disappointed.

And the three lives at the poker game - Nick for sure. Kathryn? Ed? Even Egan what with Nick feeling so guilty he didn't push Egan to move out?

[BethForFreedom]

The first kiss has me puzzled too....they seemed to be making a big deal out of Jeremy and Franny after the benefit party ("Are we really doing this?"), writers seeming to have forgotten that they had already "done this". I am suspicious that was what was meant by first kiss, although it wasn't.

As per poker game: biggest effect was on Kathryn, in that she saw a Nick playing a very risky poker game, gave her more insight into his personality, led to that "shells she picked up on the beach that didn't look the same when she got them home" speech, and swayed her to accept offer of marriage from her 4-year man.
I would say second effect was on Nick/Egan: Nick in inviting Egan to stay longer, and Egan accepting.
Also youngster Felicia, who actually seemed happy I think for the first time in this series.
