Ow. [grunting]

-Your back still bothering you?
-I'm fine.

I just tweaked it a little.

Oh, my grandpa throws
his back out

every time
he prunes his gardenias.

And he swears by ice and arnica.

My grandpa has sciatica.

He uses this, uh,
this magnesium cream.

Or is that for his gout?

You don't have gout, do you?

No, I do not have gout.

[grunts]
And before you ask,

I also do not have osteoporosis,

urinary incontinence or ED.

Why would we think
you had an eating disorder?

-A different ED.
-Different how?

Okay, that's my cue
to go pick up my kid.

[Chimney]
Hey, guys.

Hey, before you leave,

I need to talk to you guys
about something.

Sizzle and Spark.

I'm gonna need more words.

It's the theme for this year's
LAFD bachelor auction.

Okay. Less words.

Yeah, go ahead and leave.

I'll just forge your names
for the sign-up sheet.

That's the spirit.

[Ravi]
A bachelor auction?

Isn't that a little outdated?

It's 2026.

Outdated is making a comeback.

So, this is for charity?

Yeah. Every house is doing it.

It's gonna be fun.

Who has fun being auctioned off
like a slab of beef?

♪

[cheering]

[Eddie]
So, someone spent $8,000

to go on a date with you?

$8,001.

Adjusted for inflation, it's
really not that big of a deal.

Why $8,001?

Extra dollar is a strategy
that people use in a...

a bidding war.

There was a bidding war?

$8,000?

Okay, didn't you say you needed
to go pick up Christopher?

Yeah, and trust me,

he's gonna have a lot of
questions about this story, too.

All right.

[claps hands]
Everybody sign up.

-[birds chirping]
-[horn honks]

[indistinct chatter]

What...

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hal!

[brakes screech]

Hal!

Eddie, what's up?

Where's Chris?
He didn't get out of the bus.

No, he never got on.

You didn't see him at school?

Sorry.
Figured you picked him up.

♪

[Buck over phone] Did you
call the school? - [Eddie] Yeah.

I talked to one of the teachers,

and she says
he got into another car.

Did you try Find My Friend
on his phone?

Yeah, it says he's at the house,
but he sometimes

leaves it there and he's not
answering the calls.

-Okay, w-what kind of car?
-A light-colored sedan.

Older. Which describes
half the damn cars in the city.

-I called the police.
-W-What did they say?

They told me to go home.

In case he's there. I-I...

I'm headed there right now.

Uh, okay, just-just stay there.

I'm gonna come over.

Wait. The car,
it's in my driveway.

-I'll call you back.
-What, uh...

-Hi.
-[Eddie] Abigail?

[video game playing
indistinctly]

[Eddie]
Chris, what's going on?

I'm kicking Abigail's butt.

[Abigail laughs]
Not for long.

-I just got a booster.
-Turn it off.

[game turns off]

You didn't want to answer
your phone?

I-I guess it was on silent.

It's not his fault.
We got distracted.

What are you doing here,
Abigail?

She picked me up from school.

-Chris, you got homework?
-Yeah.

Do it.

I need to talk to you,
right now.

I'm sorry,
I just wanted to help.

You're a busy man
and you've been so nice to me,

and you mentioned you were sad

you didn't have time
to pick Chris up from school,

so I just wanted to help.

That is not help.

Okay? Not knowing where
my son is, that is terrifying.

I didn't mean to scare you.
We were just having so much fun.

We'll call next time.

There is no next time.

What do you mean?

I mean what you're doing
is not okay.

Showing up here?

All right,
going to Chris's school?

It has to stop.

I thought you liked me.

You guys are like family.

Family? No.

Chris and I are family.
You are not family.

Okay? I-I just helped you
because you're my job.

And that's all
you'll ever be: my job.

Do you get that?

I ju...

-I'm gonna go.
-No, wait. Come on.

Abigail, I-I didn't mean that.

Yeah, you did.

[door closes]

[footsteps approaching]

[knocking on door]

-[exhales]
-Give it to us, Doc.

[door closes]

Which would you like?

The good news or...

the great news?

-What is it?
-My CK levels are down to 350.

It's still slightly above range,

but it's stable.

That's great, right?

Oh, it's very good.

It means that
whatever she's doing,

it's working.

[Hen]
Well, it's nothing fancy.

It's just a high-protein diet,
UV protection...

A lot of stress management.

Well, you just keep being you.

I plan to.

You know...

who's gonna be excited
about this, baby?

My mother?

Your captain.

Hey, I would be mad, too.

I am mad. She took Chris.

I'm more mad at myself.

The kid had nobody else,
and I made her feel worthless.

[Ravi]
Oh, easy.

Don't break the probie.

-Sorry.
-[Chimney] And here we are.

Our Bachelors of the 118,
ready to Sizzle and Spark.

What is she doing here?

[Chimney] May's gonna be
our civilian liaison

for the auction.

She has volunteered
to whip you all

into lean, mean...

[claps hands]
cat walking machines.

No.

Yeah, apparently, your sister
here is an expert at this stuff.

She handled
her sorority's frat auctions

all four years
and we're lucky to have her.

[Buck]
No offense,

I think this is

a little different

from hawking date nights
with drunk frat bros.

I definitely have
my work cut out for me here.

-[laughs softly]
-[Eddie] Hey, uh, please, can I just

write a check
to the widows and orphans?

Not unless that check
has a comma in it.

Okay, let's go! Line up.

Let's get to work, line up.

Let's start
with some power poses.

Right here facing the mirror.
Thank you.

[Chimney]
Hey, Buck. A word?

I noticed that your name
is missing

from the, uh, sign-in form.

Yeah, I-I didn't sign up.

Well, why not?
You love being objectified.

I'm-I'm injured.

Yeah, right, like when
your shoulder was dislocated

but you sledgehammered
through a wall.

That's not the same thing.
Lives were at stake.

You went bowling after.

Why do you care so much?

I just don't understand
why you don't care.

I mean, this whole auction
is not just your lane,

this is your whole road.

Maybe I'm just
not that guy anymore.

Cheers.

To another "Stitch and Bitch."

[laughter]

And thanks to Carol

for hosting again.

Oh, I look forward
to this all week.

[Mabel]
Okay, so,

who are we waiting on now?

Blanche.

Would it kill her to be on time?

Should someone give her a call?

I mean, Lord knows,
she could have taken a fall.

Bless your heart, Faye.

You're still new.

[Artie]
Blanche is healthy as a horse.

I just saw her last night,
cheating at canasta.

[laughter]

I saw her
at pickleball this morning.

In that short skirt of hers.

[scoffs]

Now I know this is
called "Stitch and Bitch,"

but maybe we should
go easy on Blanche.

Didn't she lose her husband?

Marty died five years ago.

Oh.

I lost my Tim last winter

and you don't see me
acting like that.

-That's right.
-We're all widows, who cares?

-[Artie] Yes.
-[phone chimes]

Speak of the devil.

Blanche?

"I'm pulling up right now."

[screaming]

[grunts]

[Eddie]
Someone's losing

-their license.
-[Chimney] Grab a backboard.

All right, Ravi, jaws.
Harry, the K-12.

-Hey, cap, what should I grab?
-Aren't you hurt?

-Well, yeah, but I can...
-You know what? I can't risk it.

In fact, let the probie
carry your Halligan.

[Blanche]
Get me out of here!

[Chimney] Can someone
tell me what happened here?

Yeah. [scoffs] Blanche happened.

She came barreling in here,

smashed Carol's settee.

Now she claims
that she's gone blind.

I'm trying to tell you,
I can't see!

It's my left eye.

Got you, ma'am.

[Eddie]
Blanche,

hi, I'm Eddie. This is Ravi.

We're gonna get you out of here.

Have you had anything to drink?

No. [chuckles]

But I could use

a glass of red

if anyone would like
to give a gal a hand.

Oh, go to hell.

Blanche, do you wear
contacts, by any chance?

Yes.

Well, I see what's wrong.

Your left lens is out of place.

Oh. Oh.

Well, look at the two of you.

[Blanche chuckles]

Hold still, ma'am.

[Eddie]
All right, we're gonna get you out here,

Blanche. On three. Harry.

[Chimney]
Uh-uh, not you, Buck.

[Eddie]
One, two...

-[Blanche shudders]
-three.

-[Blanche] Ah.
-There we go.

Okay. Call me Blanche.

Car's all set.

All right, let's
get this car out of here.

[Buck groans]

Oh, no.

[panting] Ow.

-Ow! Ow!
-Ma'am. Ma'am, are you okay?

I'm... I'm having palpitations.

Okay, Buck.

Your time to shine.

Yeah, sure.

[mutters]

Just check right here.

Yep.

Uh, pulse is normal.

You might want
to check at the neck.

[sighs]

Check the neck.

Heh. Checking the neck.

Yep, still feels normal.

You know, why don't you ride
with us to the hospital?

Just to be safe.

-You cannot be too safe.
-[Buck] Okay.

Ha-ha.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Bye, now.
-Goodbye, now.

-Yeah.
-Okay?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Does anyone else need me?

Chest pains.

Short of breath.

[Artie]
Ooh, ooh.

I think I bruised a rib.

Pretty sure
you're still that guy.

[Buck]
Okay.

You got this. On three.

One...

two...

three.

[groans]

[coughs]

Nope.

Not happening. [groans]

[Eddie]
Thank you.

All right, so what's my move?
I wanted to help her,

not retraumatize her.

You didn't do anything wrong.

She picked up your son
without your permission.

To be nice.

And then I tore her to shreds.

Can you give me

the address to the group home?

She's not there anymore.

The staff said she

tore apart her room

-and ran off.
-[sighs]

I sent her back
to the streets. Perfect.

Any idea where
I can start looking?

You have a good heart, Diaz.

It's not your fault.

Abigail was troubled
before you met her.

Because her parents
were monsters

who should be
in prison right now.

They tortured her.

If I'd just done
a better job testifying...

You did more than your job.

And sometimes,
when people aren't used to it,

kindness can feel like...

interest.

Oh, come on. She's just a kid.

I saw how she looked
at you at the firehouse.

And how she looked at me.

You?

Yeah, the other female
in the room.

The one who was taking her
away from you.

You think Abigail's jealous?

I think she's a mixed-up kid
with some boundary issues.

Eddie?

How did she know
where you lived?

Chris must've told her
when she picked him up.

Before that.

The-the first time she
showed up on your doorstep.

You think
she's been following me?

It's possible.

But I... I think if you
go looking for her now, it...

it'll only encourage her.

So, what, I, uh...

I just give up on her?

[sighs]

The hardest part of my job?

You can't save
everyone in crisis.

Our next bachelor

Ravi bench presses 250,
he squats 330

-Don't lie.

Two truths and a lie.

They can smell a fake.

Well, maybe the spectator

No, the peanut gallery's right.
You gotta be real, Ravi.

What if they don't
want the real me?

auction fever and

Hey, Buck, why don't you
get over here

and show 'em how it's done?

[Harry]
Yeah, what were your moves,

Buck?

[chuckles] Well,
I-I did a back flip.

Everyone called it a...
a "Buckflip."

He called it that.
Many times. For weeks.

-I can't do a back flip.
-Uh...

You don't need to do a back flip.

If you get in trouble,
just take off your shirt.

It's funny how generous you are
with your advice,

yet you won't contribute
to our charity drive.

Yeah, I-I can't.

Right, because of your back.

-Y-You don't believe me?
-No, I believe you,

I just think it's an excuse.

And the only thing
I want to know is...

[amplified]
why?

Why what?

-Hen! Look at you.
-Oh, my gosh.

Hey. Walking on your own.

I drove here by myself, too.

You look amazing.

Thanks.

You here checking up

I'm helping organize
Sizzle and Spark.

Oh!

The Buckflip is making
a comeback?

I might have some singles
in my wallet.

Buck is declining
to strip and to flip.

What? Then I don't know
why I'm here.

Oh. Oh, right.

I was hoping to have a moment
with my captain.

Right this way.

Rhythm is not their strong suit.

So, what brings you in?

I had a, uh,
a checkup yesterday.

Bad news from the doc?

He said everything
looks good. Really good.

Good.

When does he say
you can come back to work?

He's comfortable with now.

-Done! Hen.

That's incredible.
Let's tell the other guys.

Whoa, whoa, let's hold on that.

Right, let's wait
till Eddie gets here.

-We can announce it over dinner.
-Well, the doctor

is comfortable.

I'm not so sure I am.

What are you talking about?

You just got
a clean bill of health.

And I'd like
to keep it that way.

What if I come back and I end up
back in a wheelchair?

You're kidding.

You have a regimen now.
Exercise, diet...

And managing my stress.

How am I supposed to do that
when stress is my job?

When we're running into a
burning building, what do I do?

Stop and meditate?

We can work around that.

How?

Is the world spinning backwards
right now?

Buck doesn't want
to be a slab of meat

to be a paramedic?

It's been trench warfare trying
to get back to who I am, Chim.

For Karen, for the kids.

But if I flare up,

I could lose myself
all over again.

Maybe for good.

Well, I don't want
to lose you, either.

I guess that means
I need you to stay healthy,

whatever that takes.

I think this is what it takes.

Well, you know

when I found out
she was living out of her car.

[Alex]
I think she was hoping

that I would place her with him.

[Eddie]
Alex thinks that maybe.

Abigail's been following me.

Uh, that's how she knew
where I lived and...

then the other day,
after I snapped at her,

Alex and I had coffee.

And your stalker didn't
like what she saw.

-Not "stalker."
-What would you call it?

Not "stalker."

[Athena]
Eddie,

when I find this girl,

are you gonna have it in you
to press charges?

Charges? No.
I don't want her arrested.

Then why are you
bringing it to me?

Because I know if I asked you,

-you wouldn't arrest her.
-Are we not looking

at the same crime scene photos?

Because I see real anger here.

You were there when we pulled
her out of that church, Athena.

She has every right to be angry.

But she doesn't have a right
to take it out on you.

No, I know that,
but I feel responsible.

You're not.

[Eddie]
I stepped out of my lane with her.

I-I shouldn't have.

[Alex]
You were just trying to help.

And it ended up
going the opposite.

Look, I know it's best
if I don't reach out to her,

and she's not
gonna listen to Alex.

I was hoping
maybe you talk to her.

Uh, see if she's okay.

And maybe...

All right,
I'll-I'll see what I can do.

But... I make no promises.

Thank you.

Do you remember when you made it

You were very proud of yourself.

Bachelor auction is
a young man's game.

Is that what this is about?

I mean, who are you

No, I'm not competing with them.

I was in my 20s last time.

I did a back flip.

Look, it's...

it's not just that.

I don't feel young anymore.

I party less.

I sleep more. I bake.

Congratulations.

It sounds like
you're in your mid-30s.

Okay, do you know how old
that is in firefighter years?

Average age of retirement is 55.

That means
I'm already past middle-aged.

I've had two kids.

When I look in the mirror,
I don't recognize

the person that I was

No, hey, you look great.

Oh, believe me, I know.
So do you, by the way.

But that's not what I meant.

Back then, I was... lost.

Now I have this amazing family.

And a job that I love.

And I am a stronger,
better person.

Do you think that
I would trade any of that

[Athena]
Maybe next time I tell you to pull over

and let PD handle it,
you'll listen.

I assumed the worst about her.

No. You saw her
for what she was.

-A girl who needed help.
-[speaks indistinctly]

Yeah, Abigail's father
had been stalking her

since the judge released him.

She had a restraining order,

but Daddy thought
he was her guardian angel.

[Eddie]
More like the angel of death.

[Alex]
And get this: the group home called.

They found security footage
of him tossing her room.

-Which is why she ran away.
-[Athena] Yeah,

he was gonna take Abigail home
whether she liked it or not.

Poor girl.

She managed to hide out
at the hotel for a bit.

But when she heard
that he was harassing you,

she gave him her location
so he'd stop.

So, she sacrificed herself
to protect me.

Just like you protected her.

She's lucky that you can't mind
your own damn business.

-[chuckles]
-[elevator bell dings]

Eddie.

Buck. How'd you know I was here?

Uh, Athena told Harry,
Harry told me.

-Hi, Athena.
-Yeah.

Let me see.

Oof. Yeah, that's gonna be
a shiner, but...

Mm. Yeah.

We can sell that as sexy.
