As an EMS team member, you learn fast

that you can't do it all alone.

When a life is on the line,

you rely on the ones who are ready to step in

when it matters most.

My family and I may not always see eye to eye,

but in the end there's nothing we won't do

to lift each other up.

He's gonna be okay.

Whatever happens, we'll survive, just like we always do.

You two sound like you're in the middle of a soap opera.

Hey, you, good morning!

- Chicken? - Chicken's good.

Okay, well, Dani mentioned her mom's lactose sensitive,

so no dairy.

I could never do that.

Oh, I'll second that.

The Johnson and the Rodriguez families

dropped some stuff off this morning

that I think Dani and her family are gonna love.

Thank you all so much.

We know it's in times like these

that it's the little things that get hard to do.

So she'll be swapping shifts with her mom

sleeping at the hospital.

So nourishing meals just are not happening

for them right now.

Well, trust me, a special meal in the hospital

goes a long way.

You know what? I'll cook something.

Sweet.

Special delivery.

Oh, I didn't order food.

But did you order Griffin?

- Hi! - Hey.

- Um, thank you. - I know you like salad, but-

No, no, thank you so much for, for everything with my dad.

You saved his life.

Yeah, my training just kicked in and I...

He was talking about you, you know?

What?

Before he, you know, he was telling your mom,

he was proud of you for sticking it out at the station

and I dunno, I heard your name, I couldn't help but listen.

So, how's he doing?

He's great. Yeah. Resting.

He's only up a few hours a day

and I know it's nice for him to have someone to wake up to,

so I've been spending lots of time in here.

Good.

Do you know what he gets to go home?

Uh, could be days, could be a week, maybe two.

Anyway, it's, it's nice to have a small distraction.

- Yeah. - You hungry?

Hi.

This wasn't the plan, I swear.

I, I'm sorry, Dani,

I thought you were still at the hospital.

I set that up for Andy and Ashley,

they were supposed to come in next.

I'm sorry.

At least it's whipped cream this time.

It taste much better than shaving cream.

So you're back?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm doing good and, and ready to work

like my job depends on it because, as you know.

I'm so glad to hear your dad's doing okay. Really.

Yeah. Yeah, he is, and it's thanks to you.

I'm not cleaning up this time, Marcos.

Why do your pranks always involve making a mess?

Man, do you think we could do that over

with the whipped cream in Dani's face?

I forgot to hit record.

Oh, are we, are we recording pranks now?

Yes. Yes we are.

How do you like your coffee, Dani?

Wait till you hear this.

I'm not just talking coffee, I'm talking hot chocolate,

cappuccinos, lattes, affogatos, espressos

and all the foam you can dream of-

We get it. Long story short,

there's this social media competition

for some fancy coffee maker.

- Oh. - Uh, Liz,

the cafe couture is not just a coffee machine, okay?

It's a luxury experience.

Basically to win you have to post a prank

that gets the most votes.

I'm just in it for a cup of joe

that doesn't look like dirty sink water.

Mm.

Hey, um, Dani, I'm,

I'm sorry I haven't asked you about your dad yet.

I mean, I probably should have,

just I didn't know how you were feeling about everything

and, I mean, you came back to work

less than a week after it happened.

It's just been so soon that I thought that maybe-

Thought I needed a normal day?

Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks.

Might as well clean the trucks while we're at it.

- Oh, good idea. - Yeah.

Okay.

How about a speed drill for old times' sake?

But there's one challenge. - Hmm?

I got a secret stash of snacks in here.

You gotta find it while holding onto your old time

from the rookie shifts.

Okay, well this is your mess.

You left the truck like this.

Tim! - Ah, ah, shh.

Ready, set. ♪ Be careful now ♪

♪ The heart don't ♪

- One. - Oh, you missed.

♪ The heart don't lie ♪

Ready, go!

♪ It won't seem right until ♪

♪ It might feel like we're losing control ♪

Found 'em.

Getting close to time.

Okay, back hatch console, phenomenal spot.

Right?

Is that a hummingbird?

Mm-hmm.

What's her story?

It's um, something from my past.

Your past?

Like you and Hunter?

Yep.

Yeah. He, um, he gave her back to me recently.

Oh.

So, does that mean you two are like-

No.

No. No. - No?

I put it on because it reminds me that I've changed.

Cool.

You know, life has really felt so complicated lately

and you are one of my favorite uncomplicated things

to count on.

I mean, this afternoon is exactly what I needed

to clear my head and, thanks.

That's me.

Mr. Uncomplicated.

- Come on. - No, I'm-

- Just one more. - I'm good.

More for me.

All right, make sure you ask him

if the building's capacity's still the same

after they added the bathroom last year.

It looks like they didn't update the paperwork

and an additional bathroom adds up to 10 people.

I wanna pack this place out.

This is the first piece of property I've ever owned.

Aye, you're too hype.

I got this. Go.

Okay.

Thank you. Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

We're sorry, all of our representatives

are still assisting other customers.

Please remain on the line.

Well, Miller, your dad healing up?

Yeah. Yeah, he's, he's doing great.

You, you doing okay?

Um, I just wanted to thank you.

Me?

You run a tight ship and well, trust me,

at times it can be challenging,

but you know, you're training and pushing us to strive

for our best is part of why my dad's doing so well now.

That's all you and Liz.

Well, and Griffin.

You know, even without being on the team,

he was fast to action, flawless actually.

You taught him well.

Yeah, he's a good guy.

I wish there was some way I could keep you all.

What else can I do for you, Miller?

That's all, sir.

Yeah, just wanted to thank you.

Scoot.

Your call is being transferred.

Oh, hey. Hey.

Yes, I'd like to speak with City Councilman Officer Ruben.

What department?

With Health Services Department.

- From Health Services? - Correct.

Please hold.

- Marcos? - Liz.

I'll be here on his behalf.

And not to be rude, but I've been up for 27 hours

and you were supposed to be here an hour ago,

so chop, chop, David.

Yeah, yeah, no problem.

Let's go find the breaker box.

Mm-hmm.

What are you doing here?

It's, it's good to see you.

Oh, I'm sorry. This is- - Hi, Mrs. Parker.

Hi, Dani.

Didn't know you two knew each other.

Well, Tamara's the absolute angel

who funded the new station through her foundation.

Well, you're leaving out the most important part.

County Rescue has been there to help my father

over the years, quite a few times.

When we heard about the flood

and heard about the damage at the station,

the foundation was happy to help, so, yeah.

Well, the new station is absolutely beautiful.

It's my home away from home.

So, how do you two know each other?

Oh, Griffin worked at County Rescue.

We're friends who met on the job.

Love it.

Well, I should probably head inside

and thank you for all of your help

and it was really good to see you, Dani.

- You too. - See you.

It really is good to see you.

Yeah, you seem great.

I'm getting there.

Do you wanna tell me about it over a pizza later on?

I mean, I at least owe you a slice.

Does this mean what I think it means?

Getting the band back together?

Epic Fail Club 2.0, more epic, more fails.

Well, I am not so sure, Griffin.

I mean, I think you might be getting your membership revoked

because to me it seems like you're anything but a failure.

I'll see you later then?

Absolutely. I'll pick you up.

Um, I'll be at the hospital later today

to see my dad for a bit,

you wanna meet me there in a few hours?

Yeah. See you soon.

Cool.

Is that a hummingbird?

- Yeah. - What's with them?

They like sugar, water, They fly from flower quickly.

They're shiny and glimmer in the sun.

If you look here, I'm trying to-

She's a hummingbird, I get it now.

Uh, it's adorable.

Yeah, it is kind of adorable.

Not what I was going for, but...

What's up, Andy?

All right, guys.

Tim, you wanna catch a game?

- I'm out. - Yeah, sure.

It's about to get rowdy.

Yeah.

All right. Come on in.

All right, what's your game?

It depends on what we're playing.

I like blackjack.

Hope dare you speak of blackjack at a poker table.

It's bad luck. - Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry.

All right, here we go.

What's your bet?

Wait, like, is it fake?

'Cause I'm, I'm low on cash and I, I really can't swing it.

Dude, it's fake.

Not real.

- Right. - Make a bet.

I'm all-in.

- High stakes. - Yeah, yeah, sure.

Have I ever told you about the ones who got away?

Like, before Ashley?

- Yeah, that's right. - Wait, you said ones?

Like plural?

I can't even get one girlfriend in my entire life-

Tim, there's a lot more to this story if you just,

let me finish. - Absolutely.

- Great. - Sorry.

See, I'm not even really talking about real women.

I'm talking about my checklist.

I had a great name for it, you ready?

At the top of the page it said Perfect Wife Life.

All right. Laugh it up. Laugh it up.

Be nice though, 'cause if I go to your locker right now,

we would look at a very interesting title of yours,

wouldn't we?

That's what I thought.

Yeah.

But it's a doozy.

Anyway, this list, it was,

it was full of things I expected my wife to be.

And anytime that I met a woman

who met more than a few of the criteria,

I thought to myself, this is it.

This is her.

I'd have our dog's name in my head

and the car we'd pick out together, the whole nine.

But it never worked out with any of 'em.

Wanna know why?

I wasn't falling in love.

I was falling in love with the idea of finding my person.

Yeah.

So, how did you get there?

Um, I guess I had to let go of the idea of the one

so that I'd be ready for what I really needed.

I had to figure out who I was as a person

so said I'd be ready for the partner that God had for me.

Started going to church,

stopped caring about my needs so much

and started focusing on other people's needs.

As a result, I discovered I had this passion to help people.

Next thing you know, I'd get hired as an EMT

and I wasn't even looking to start a new relationship.

And, and then Ashley.

Yeah.

In walks this beautiful, strong, kind woman.

My match in every way.

Two people coming together, wanting to share nothing more

than the passions that they have

with someone that they love.

Gotta know when to fold, Tim.

Nice.

All right, you can do this better than me?

No, I think I saw him do it.

Like this, boom.

Oh, that's the trick.

Okay, wait, should I take one of you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ready?

All, there's your sharp focusing skills.

There's our half smile skills,

there's your half smile, my full smile.

Gang signs. - Gang signs.

And that's the official photo

of the Epic Fail Club.

- Amazing. - Amazing.

- Nice. - That chill.

Well, I'm glad we did this.

Same.

But these puppies are all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Oh, look at those tips. Nice!

I say we hit the arcade next door hard.

We start with "Mrs. Pac-Girl,"

then we move on to "Wack-A-Frog,"

and then we end our date, shindig,

with you winning enough tickets

to buy you the most beautiful, handcrafted finger trap.

Okay, money bags.

I promised my dad I'd go see him before my shift starts.

I like to make sure I pray over him once a day.

Haven't missed.

- I admire that. - Prayer?

No, your faith.

I mean, especially if that's what gives you your confidence.

You know, it was hard growing up,

watching my dad be a firefighter, worrying about him

and hearing the stories he would tell

that did not always have a happy ending.

Even in my short time as an EMT, I feel like I saw so much.

I may not know my place in this world just yet,

but after processing

that I wasn't going back to the station as an EMT,

I realized I'm just not cut out for it.

Saving lives is a heavy weight to hold,

and you carry it so well.

You're the best kind of tough.

I don't know about all that,

but I do know that my confidence does come from my faith

and it's actually really sweet you noticed.

And the weight is too much for anyone.

But God carries it for me.

That's awesome.

What?

That's it?

Yeah.

That was so simple.

I mean like, usually when I get into my faith

or God with people it,

it leads to more questions or it gets awkward

or I, I guess what I'm trying to say is,

thank you for letting me be me.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Mm. - Not bad.

That's good. That's good pizza.

Okay, seriously, with the look. What's going on?

We've been able to spend almost all day,

every day together for 15 years.

I know.

I blew it. You're finally sick of me.

I used to think we'd actually get sick of each other,

but it never happened.

Nope.

No it hasn't.

I love working with you and coming home to you

and doing movie marathons with you.

Just everything.

You're my best friend.

I agree.

So what's going on, Ash?

Oh.

Oh.

Thank you for this, Dani.

I needed to have some fun.

Been so caught up in my life

trying to find the next thing lately that no time for fun.

But, I've been thinking, I've been feeling so misplaced

because maybe it's not a thing I've been looking for.

This is when I'd usually tell you about chief's rules

I can't break, but...

But...

But I'll just tell you, thank you.

See you soon, and uh, stay safe.

Hey.

Hey, sweetie.

How was your shift?

Oh, I'm actually getting back

from hanging out with a friend.

We went to the pizza spot on third.

Yeah?

Uh, do you want some?

You know what, I haven't eaten yet.

Is this my pizza?

Actually, yes.

Uh, my friend also doesn't do dairy, so no cheese.

Ooh ooh, got any more?

- Mm-hmm! - It's moms.

- Oh. - Hmm.

So did he have a wake window this morning?

He was awake for almost four hours.

We got through that new "Super Merman" movie.

He's been asleep for a few hours now.

Have either one of you seen that?

It is shocking.

I mean, the muscles on that actor.

I have not, Mom.

Is that a mini fridge?

Mm-hmm, isn't that smart?

Don't touch it. Nuh-uh.

But I do want you to thank your friends

for making all those meals, they were delicious.

I should probably learn to cook. Huh?

You can say that again.

- Hey. - Hey.

Oh.

Dad, we've been hearing great things

about this Merman movie.

Oh yeah, I can't wait for the sequel.

Oh, me too. Let's watch it again.

Timmy.

Way to go, my friend. You took my advice. I'm proud of you.

- Thanks man. - There you go.

You're looking good.

Thank you. I gotta get my next set in.

Who knows where I'm gonna be a year from now?

Let's do leg day tomorrow.

Oh, for sure.

- Ready to squat! - Yeah.

- Hey. - Yeah.

You okay?

Yeah.

Listen,

you know that if anything ever took you away from this job,

these people are still gonna call you family.

Look at me.

I love them so much.

Sweetheart.

I know.

It's okay.

As an EMT, you don't always get to choose

who you work with.

You might not always agree

or even understand where the other's coming from.

But despite your differences, you're a team,

you're a family.

And when everything else falls away,

that's what makes the difference.

Family has your back no matter what.
