Vic, it's so early.

Hey, your wife's not answering. Is she there?

Well, of course she's there. Can you, uh--

Can I talk to her? Can you put me on speaker?

What? Whoo!

It's fire camp today!

You're yelling. Just wanted to make sure you're ready to run

the axe drill and the fire box setup...

Yes, Vic. I will see you later. ...and the turnout relay.

Because I really feel like you're gonna be the best person to do that after--

May--

Where are you going?

For a run.

I took a pregnancy test the other day.

What? I'm sorry.

I had to know.

And you didn't think I did?

I'm telling you now.

I'm not pregnant.

Wow.

I can't believe you took a pregnancy test without me.

This is the part you're reacting to?

I'm reacting to all of it. No, you're not.

You're reacting to the part that applies to you.

You're reacting to the part that you can be offended by.

I am not pregnant, Maya. Did you hear that part?

I did.

And-- And... "H-How are you, Carina?

H-How are you feeling? Do you need anything?

Is there anything that I can do for you?

What should we do next?"

All these are normal things

that you can say to your wife right now.

No, the normal thing is doing a test together.

Oh, my God.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm s--

Listen, I'm just in shock, okay?

You seemed so-- O-Okay, I thought--

I thought it worked, okay?

You seemed so pregnant.

How did I "seem so pregnant"?

I don't know.

Mood swings and-- and snacking and symptoms--

symptoms of being pregnant.

Those are symptoms of being a human being, Maya.

Okay, you know what? I'm going to work.

Bailey's Reproductive Care Clinic is opening today,

and I can actually make a difference there.

I gotta go.

No, baby.

I got...

fire camp with Hughes. Mm-hmm.

And I gotta get to 19 early to get eyes...

Mm-hmm. ...on some Beckett stuff.

Ugh.

Yeah, there have been some concerns.

What's your read on him? Hm?

Is he drinking again?

Not drinking, I don't think. Hmm.

But he isn't much of a leader.

Wait, how are you getting to work?

We drove here together.

You're going to 19 anyway, I can just ride with you.

I'll jump out a few blocks from the station.

You're not even joking.

You know, if we weren't this covert couple,

think about the carpooling we could do.

Think about how this affair is contributing to climate change.

You're pushing again.

Again? Mm-hmm.

Look at where we are.

Yeah, thanks to credit card points.

We're in a hotel in the city.

Where no one can know that we're a couple

because you wanted more.

And now you want to ride to work together, too?

Sully, it's too much.

Then we won't do it.

It's just breakfast.

I like having meals with you, okay?

So if in-room dining is the only way...

You got breakfast? Mm-hmm.

French toast.

Ooh. Bacon.

Yeah?

Hey, you know I have to leave at 12:00

for the union thing, right?

Uh, yeah, I do.

From when you reminded me last night

and then again this morning when I was in the shower

and then again when I was driving here.

You genuinely believe I'm a person

who remembers absolutely nothing?

Left on the kitchen counter, says "Girls Fire Camp".

I don't-- Mm.

Really sucks that you're abandoning me today.

Technically, you abandoned me,

because you were supposed to go to this union thing with me.

Okay, well, you know what?

That was before Eli was running the show.

And it's gonna be so much better with him, right?

It's gonna be way less fun, but it's gonna be better.

It will be less fun, but it'll be better.

Lightning storm in the forecast and now this?

Thanks a lot, Trav.

Lightning storms? Today?

Travis won't stop gushing about Eli.

Prompted by me, sure, but it's like,

you know, read the room, you know?

I mean, I was doing the job... Yeah.

...and now someone better is doing it,

and that's great, but, I mean,

maybe I'm not the best person to talk about the new guy with.

No, I'm not either.

I-I was hate-Googling him last night.

Okay, I mean, I don't hate him.

But do we-- I don't know, do we hate him?

I-I hate the type.

Like, he's too smart, too charming,

too involved in every do-gooder charity.

Like, what's his deal anyway?

Well, I don't know. It kinda sounds like his deal is, like,

exactly what he's doing, right?

I mean, honestly, hearing that bio

makes me feel a little bit better. The guy hasn't done anything

for the campaign yet.

Yeah, he will.

He will, 'cause this is just truly what he does.

I guess.

Eli. Eli. Please, just hear me out, all right?

I-If someone was trying to kill you, yeah?

And in protecting yourself, you killed him--

that is just basic self-defense.

Even in court, self-defense, not guilty.

Comparing this to involuntary manslaughter

is really not helping your argument here.

Dixon leaked a story

that makes you look like you have rage issues.

We have something about him that could change the narrative.

Leaking the Dixon Crisis One call could jeopardize

the jobs of the people on the call

and threaten the existence of Crisis One itself.

Eli, I'm serious!

Well, how are you planning to beat him, then?

Are we in this, or are we not?

Hey, Ben.

Please meet Eli Stern, my new campaign manager.

The man who's gonna make my life

a whole lot easier?

Oh, what I wouldn't give for one of those.

I'm in a non-fight with my wife right now.

She-- She started this new reproductive clinic,

and she wants me to do anesthesiology there

when she knows that I work here.

Oh, a-and get this, get this--

she goes

"But aren't you just on desk duty?"

This sounds like a regular fight.

I am on desk duty most days for our family,

not because I like it, not because I like it.

You know, I can't just-- I can't just drop everything

because of what she got herself into over there, right? Right?

Oh, yeah, no, yeah, totally. Yeah, yeah, of course.

You know, and today, I'm not even on desk duty.

Today I'm a firefighter.

She can't take that away from me.

Dude.

Uh, I'm s-- Uh, what is he doing here?

This camp is not a campaign event.

Everything can be a campaign event if you have an Eli.

An Eli? Yeah.

Uh, can I give you guys a hand with this stuff?

Uh, no, I'm pretty sure I'm stronger than you.

Plus, most of this stuff is dusty,

and you look like a guy with allergies.

Ooh!

So, today is the first day of your FD careers.

Today we're gonna teach you

what it means to be a firefighter,

and we're gonna treat you like firefighters.

So every shift begins with a lineup.

And, uh, you're gonna introduce yourselves,

and, like real firefighters,

you're gonna use your last names, okay?

You're gonna leave all of your issues

and your self-doubt at the door with your first names.

All right?

So, today, we are...

Herrera.

Warren.

Bishop. Sullivan.

Over here?

O'Hare. Mm-hmm.

Coles. Davila.

Sophie. She said last names.

It's okay.

Santos. That's good.

Thank you.

Hendrix. Lupex. Whoa, is that lightning?

Okay, you know what? Let's just get started, huh?

Come on, everyone, let's suit up.

Um...

Should we go inside? Well, it's far away.

The weather report said it's still miles outside of Seattle, so...

Uh...

Look, everybody knows this, right?

You count the number of seconds

between the flash of lightning and the thunder,

and then you divide by five for the distance of the storm in miles.

Right. Right?

That's what it is.

So, 9, 10.

Oh, my God, it's so far away.

It's so far away.

Wow, impressive.

Gonna be honest--

a little starstruck.

Ah, you're a runner, too?

Yeah, track and field at school, but--

I mean, you're Olympic, so, wow.

I also listen to dispatch all the time,

and I hear your name a lot, so...

You listen to dispatch?

Yeah. Fire nerd.

Obsessed. Good, you have to be.

You have to be single-focused,

more determined than anyone else here,

and have the mental and physical strength

to work through the pain.

Get out there.

Right here.

Ready? Let's go.

Very nice, very nice.

Oh.

When thunder roars, you go indoors.

Okay, you are so much hotter than rhyming wisdom,

whi-- Ooh.

There you go.

One, two...

Yeah, he's right. We gotta call it.

Chief, we don't-- There is plenty for them to learn inside.

All right, I need all these girls inside right now!

Let's go! Let's pull it in!

Pick up a cone, we're heading inside. Follow me, follow me.

All right, ladies, come in here.

We're just gonna stack the cones right on that X.

X marks the spot here. Right here. Yep.

Thank you, and then we're gonna line up.

We're gonna line up again, okay?

Aid Car 19, Ladder 19, Engine 19...

All right, all right, this way, this way.

Come on, ladies. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Right in here, right in here.

You can watch through your window.

Let's go, let's go. Keep it moving, keep it moving.

Efficiency and with urgency, efficiency and urgency.

I like to see it. This way, this way. This way.

Come on, come on, come on. Hey! It's a call, not a parade, Beckett.

How 'bout we set a good example for our team and our guests?

Move! Let's go.

Good, now let's line up here, ladies. I like that teamwork.

Oh, yeah, nice, nice.

Hey, how long do you think you'll be?

This union endorsement is no joke.

You can't miss the meeting.

He's a firefighter.

I'm pretty sure the firefighters' union

will understand if Travis is a little late

because he's busy fighting a fire.

Oh! What she said.

Gibson.

Yeah, I was looking for Herrera,

but I guess they're out? I need you in there helping Hughes with fire camp.

Perfect. Two birds. Um...

Team got a call because of course

there's a lightning storm on the day of this fire camp.

And I can't leave a station full of teenagers with just Hughes,

so I need to be here dealing with citywide chaos.

I need you in there helping Vic.

Uh, well, uh Uh, I--

I don't work here.

Well, thank you for volunteering.

Go.

There are survivors in that?

We shall see.

Wiggins, Klyne, get a protection line-- foam that fuel!

Sullivan, Herrera, assess the pilot.

Montgomery, Warren, medical on the passengers.

Everyone else, extrication tools!

Quickly and with focus, boys and girls.

The lightning that brought this down

could just as easily screw us!

You know, you want to inspire the team?

Calling us kittens and boys and girls isn't the way to go.

Oh, I didn't realize daily inspiration

was also your expectation of me.

This is the FD, Ru-is, not a self-help seminar.

It's Ruiz.

My name's pronounced Ru-iz.

Okay.

Hey, hey.

Look at Bishop. She's not okay.

Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

No, dude, she shouldn't even be here.

Is there a problem over there, you two?!

Herrera, you're supposed to be assessing the helo. I know, I know. I was just gonna make sure--

Go where your captain is telling you!

Hey! Can you hear me in there?

My name is Travis. This is Ben.

We're here to help you guys, okay?

It doesn't look good in there, Warren.

Hey, how we doing in there?

Um, I think I'm okay, but Jonathan--

This can't be good, right?

Well, I've seen worse.

Oh, you sound like her. Isabel's always trying to keep it positive.

Keep everyone alert and alive.

Alive? Best producer out there.

Look at where we're at because of me!

There's a pole through your leg.

I'm the one who insisted we fly in the storm.

Oh, my God. This is all my fault.

Isabel, this isn't on you. You didn't force me to do this.

Okay, Isabel, we're gonna get you out of there,

but you gotta help us by remaining calm, okay?

What about Omar, the pilot? Is he okay?

Our colleagues are working on him in the front right now.

Okay.

Whoo! Wow, thank you. Thank you.

All right, Gibson, let's go.

Yep.

No, i-it's my wrist.

I had injury, so... Right. Whatever you say, guy.

I did. It was really bad.

All right. O'Hare, show him how it's done.

Let's go.

Whoo! Very nice!

All the way down. Santos, you're up.

That's okay. Try again.

No, I don't-- I really don't want to.

It was-- It was already better than mine.

Look, I said I don't want to.

Okay, Gibson, you want to take over for a second?

Yeah, l-let's roll these bad boys up. Santos, come here.

Look, can I please just go now? This really isn't for me.

Okay, it is just day one, right?

I'm not good at things on day two, three, or 53 either.

This is why my parents are making me try this.

Okay.

Look, I wasn't great at any of this stuff

when I was at the academy, and look at me now, right?

Okay, all of this is so much more about your head

than any of the physical stuff.

And you're obviously one of the smartest ones here, right?

See? Yeah, you know it.

Only smart people make themselves nuts

about what they're good at or not good at.

Okay?

Try it again, huh?

You got it.

Firefighter, leader, and a shrink,

that's very nice.

Thanks, Chief. Thanks.

Question for you. Yeah?

What's your take on Captain Beckett?

Um, uh, I-I think he-- it's--

he must be in a tough position.

Honesty over diplomacy, please.

Okay. Um...

Well, here it is--

Uh, he is a bare minimum guy in a house of overachievers.

We're a "how do you go above and beyond" kinda house,

and he's a "sit around an wait for your pension to kick in"

kinda captain.

And it's a bummer and starting to affect everything.

Wow, you just distilled into two sentences

what I couldn't even put into words.

Thank you.

It's looking great, team. Love to see it.

Keep it up.

All right, Girls Camp?

Girls Camp!

Hey, I'm Andy.

And that's Sullivan over there.

I'm-- I'm Omar.

Omar, save your energy.

I-I tried to land to take the brunt of--

brunt of the impact.

Yep, and you succeeded, my friend.

Looks like your passengers are gonna be okay because of it.

You're-- You're a hero.

I ju-- I jus-- I just don't know--

don't know any other way.

Exactly what a hero would say.

When you're a pilot, you're-- you're in command.

Y-You keep your people safe.

You're a good man, Omar.

I wish more people thought like you.

Dad?

D-Dad?

Dad, what are you-- what are you--

What's my da-- What's my dad, um...

Dad, I-- I've missed you.

M-My dad's here.

Yeah?

He's gone, Andy. I know, I know.

I'm just gonna...

I know.

Andy, he's gone.

I know. I...

Andy!

He's gone.

He gave his life to save his passengers.

Focus, focus, focus. Okay, hey!

Those two breaths didn't go in. What do we do next?

What do we do? Oh, you re-tilt the airway and try again?

Yes! Very nice, very nice.

Okay, so those two breaths did go in.

And now what?

Two breaths, five cycles... This is so boring.

I did this in lifeguard training.

Can we please go back to doing firefighter stuff?

This is firefighter stuff.

This is boring. Okay, well, it's CPR.

All right, well, you know, make them do it

to the beat of "Achy Breaky Heart".

A song literally none of them are gonna know?

Really? "Stayin' Alive"?

They're 17-year-olds, Jack. Right.

Uh, uh, um... Oh, please.

Right, okay, uh, I think it might help

if we do it to the beat of, uh, "Baby Shark".

Oh, God, no. No, no! Yes! Yeah!

All right, so...

♪ Baby Shark, doo doo, doo-doo-doo ♪

♪ Baby Shark, doo doo doo You are evil!

♪ Baby Shark, doo doo doo That's gonna be stuck in all of our heads for literally days.

Which is exactly where your CPR training should be.

Right? So, again now.

♪ Baby Shark, doo doo

You guys laugh, but this is important.

But it's also still so boring.

I agree. This is literally one of the most important

things you could learn all day.

Well, right, but if we're out there fighting a fire,

we wouldn't be doing this stuff.

Wouldn't the paramedics be doing it?

Well... Okay, but a paramedic and a firefighter

are one in the same out in the field,

and equally as important.

Equally?

I'd even argue that it's more important.

When I was in Iraq, another soldier and I

were on a recon mission,

and we had to stay the night in a safe house.

It got shelled while we were there.

My partner had a bullet go through his lung.

We couldn't get extracted.

So with just the supplies from our walking packs

and half a bottle of whiskey that the last people had left,

I had to sedate him, intubate him,

and then do compressions on and off all night long

because he kept losing his pulse.

4 hours and 17 minutes.

I'm in love with her. Right?

It was this moment of instinct and training and purpose

all coming together.

I wouldn't be in the place that I am right now

without a class just like this one.

And now I'm everybody's boss.

Y'all get that, right?

All right. Great.

So why don't we give it another shot, huh, with heart?

Gibson, what was that song? Uh...

♪ Baby Shark, doo doo doo-doo-doo ♪

Hey. ♪ Baby Shark

One, two, three.

What about him?

What about Jonathan?

He's next. I can't leave him!

We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for me.

What about Omar, the pilot? Did he make it?

Ma'am, our team's all over this,

and we're the best there is, all right?

We're gonna get you over to Seattle Pres.

And we're gonna keep you posted on your guys.

C-collar.

Uh, I'm feeling a little weird.

Okay, well, weird how, Jonathan?

Like, uh-- Like pain?

Not really pain.

It's more tingly? Where?

Like, uh, in your legs? Yeah, maybe.

I don't think I can really feel my legs.

Okay. Well, you know what? That's, uh--

That's good for us to know.

Just let us know if anything changes, all right?

Hey, Sullivan. Sullivan!

I need you to tell Beckett

that we're gonna pull the whole seat out of there.

If we try to cut that rod and extract him,

we could cause total paralysis.

Got it.

Yeah, but I need regular updates on 81's status

and the companies on the construction site

by Green Lake, okay?

Copy, Chief.

Vic, what are you doing out here?

Uh, the-- Uh, they're on a break, so-- and I'm--

Sorry, Chi-- Uh, you kind of blew my mind back there.

Blew your mind how? Yeah, I...

I don't think I've ever f-felt like that about any of this.

How you felt in that safe house,

right in the pocket, the clarity and the-- the purpose--

I just don't think I have ever felt like that about anything.

Okay, now-- No, uh, Chief, I just feel like I'm always--

I'm always just floating around in the tide.

I'm never the one driving the boat. I'm never even in a boat.

Okay, so-- I'm just-- Here-- No, I'm sorry.

Here I am telling these girls

that this is the greatest job in the world... Mm-hmm.

...and that everything else just makes more sense inside of this,

and I do not know if I believe that.

Hughes, there's a lot going on right now.

I need you to stay on ta-- Okay, but how did you--

how did you know that your pocket was your pocket?

Because I want to be like that, I want to feel like that.

Vic, I'm sor-- I'm gonna have to stop you right there.

Yeah. I'm helping you with fire camp.

I'm dealing with a citywide lightning storm.

This may not be the perfect moment

for a mentoring session, okay? Understood, understood.

Okay.

Thank you, Chief.

All right, Jonathan, not much longer.

Hey, hey, Jonathan. Jonathan, hey.

Hey. We're in the homestretch now, okay?

Just stay calm. Stay with us. Stay with us.

I feel so stupid.

I wanted to be a war correspondent, you know?

Sounds silly, but it felt like a calling.

I got it, and I ignored it.

Well, I didn't ignore it.

I gave it up.

For my wife.

That sounds romantic.

Not really.

Made me hate her.

I mean, not hate her, but resent her.

Which is worse, I think, 'cause I'm not mean to anyone but her.

I'm serious!

To everyone else, I'm the best guy in the world.

You know what I thought when you guys started to whisper about me

possibly having a spinal injury?

Wait, y-y-you heard that?

I'm a really good reporter.

I heard you and I thought, "That'll show her."

Because she'd have to take care of my paralyzed ass forever.

The ultimate punishment.

I actually had that thought in the middle of all this.

How screwed up is that?

I'm sure you're under a lot of stress,

and I'm sure you didn't mean to say anything like that--

Oh, I meant every bit.

Who knew it could get worse?

That what I'm feeling now would be more awful

and terrifying than that?

Jonathan.

Jonathan, what're you feeling now?

'Cause to be honest, I'm a little bit afraid

of what the answer's gonna be.

Desperately, frantically, painfully in love with her.

I have to fix this.

If I'm in this marriage, I have to be in it.

I love her.

We got you.

We're gonna take care of you. You're gonna be okay.

Warren.

I'll be right back.

Beckett's not going for it.

Hey. Hey, Jonathan, buddy, better late than never.

I believe in you. Look at where you are.

You're already casually defying the odds.

Okay?

No, Captain, I hear that, but medically speaking,

I'm telling you... Just because you think you also have X-ray eyes

doesn't mean we're gonna make life riskier for this team.

The longer we stay out here,

the greater the chance that one of us gets fried.

Respectfully, Captain, I'm a doctor-- No, Warren.

The safest and fastest thing to do

is to cut that man out of that chair--

Oh, my God! This is ridiculous.

Excuse me? No, she's actually right.

We are wasting time.

You're out of line, too, Herrera.

Ben knows what he's talking about!

And you have-- Captain, I know what I'm saying, all right?

This is how we save this man.

He's a doctor. You need to listen.

All right, you know what? You seem like you really want

to run the show, Herrera, so why don't you?

Let's see how you do, hm?

Change of plans, everyone.

We're extricating in the chair!

Ruiz, Bishop, Cutler, V struts and stabilize that helo.

Montgomery, open up that left side and get us egress.

Everyone else, we need all hands...

No, no, hey! We don't have enough as it is.

No.

What?

I needed this.

You know, working with the girls and you

and doing something I'm good at.

Oh, buddy.

Didn't mind them being super mean to me, either.

Of course you didn't.

What is that?

Obviously I didn't grow up with family,

but watching other people's,

I thought the thing that distinguished it

from everyone else was that you could give each other crap

or mess up, and they'd still have to love you, you know?

Couldn't kick you out of the circle or return you.

What's that?

Me as a baby.

My bio-sister dropped it off.

And my parents have been holding onto it for years.

Apparently they did love me, they just...

...didn't like me.

Jack.

Come on, that's-- that's different.

You know it is.

And if you don't, I'm-- I'm telling you.

And I can be as mean about it as you need me to be

for it to sink in.

Jack, they-- they loved you.

And they couldn't keep you.

Okay?

So, you got a sister sniffing around, huh?

How do we feel about that?

Curious, I guess. I don't know.

Confused. Okay.

Those are normal and appropriate feelings.

I can work with that.

Thank you. Yeah.

Stop! Hold!

Hold, hold. Bishop, step away.

Thought you were running the scene.

I'm doing exactly that.

Hold him up. Stable.

We got it. I'm coming around.

Okay, just remember you are its brains, all right?

I'm right behind you. Good.

Oh! That's good, that's good. Right in the work.

Perfect.

What the...

Give me this, give me this, Santos.

Help! Help! You have to help me!

Somebody, Help! Girls, get back! Get back! Everybody, get back!

Help, please! Okay, sir!

You have to help me!

Sir. Please!

Hold on. Slow down, slow down, slow down.

Stay back there. Right here, right here.

You gotta help!

They were struck by lightning.

We were just getting to my mom's for Sunday lunch.

She said not to come in the storm.

Monitors. We gotta get them all on monitors with defib pads.

What does that mean? Are they going to be okay?

Hey, back up, back up. Enzo, Enzo. Just keep talking to me, okay?

They were unloading the car.

We've been bringing her supplies for the week.

Lightning hit the ground or something.

I was still in the car. It should have been me.

No, no, no, it's good it wasn't. You got them here, right?

Hey, hey, let me work. Dispatch, this is Chief Ross.

I need three aid cars to Station 19

for three post-lightning cardiac arrests.

Chief, every aid car in a 20-mile radius

is on a call. Please.

Just give me what you can when you can.

Suddenly they all fell and were out.

I threw them in the trunk and just brought them him.

You did that yourself? Charging.

Chief, we need more hands.

I know, uh...

Santos, O'Hare, I need you over here now.

You're helping.

Uh, Coles, Davila, grab med bags.

Good, good, good.

Look at me. It's just like how I'm doing.

Just like we were doing this morning.

You were both so great at it, which is why I called you over.

All right, it's not as scary as it looks.

You got it. Ready? Take over.

You got it.

O'Hare, O'Hare. O'Hare, look at me.

I'm right here. You got this, okay? Right.

Hey, hey, hey.

Deep breaths, all right? Your dad's right there.

Okay. Good job, kiddo.

Hey, looks like your wife is coming around, too.

Hey, baby, can you hear me?

Hospital dispatch,

this is Aid Car 19, Ben Warren.

En route with a 40-year-old male, alert and oriented,

with a spinal injury and leg impalement.

We're gonna need a lot of hands with this one.

Ready for you, Aid 19.

I don't think you are. 19--

No, tell trauma, tell ortho, and tell neurosurgery.

That will be assessed when you deliver-- Already been assessed.

I'm calling to make sure that everyone's prepared for this,

because I know you don't have enough hands.

Thank you.

Hey. That's leadership right there.

They didn't want to listen, you made them listen.

You didn't call them cute names. You weren't an ass about it.

Thank you? Meanwhile, Bishop's wilding out

and no one is doing anything about it.

Herrera pulled her. Too little, too late.

And Herrera isn't the captain.

This is as much a Beckett problem

as it is a Bishop problem, and I'm sick of it.

Look, I'm-- I'm worried about Bishop, too.

But Beckett, I mean, it's-- it just kinda is what it is.

No. No, man, a-a crappy captain is the kiss of death.

I know 'cause I was one.

♪ I can't pick you up Thank you so much.

All of you.

♪ And you can't save yourself

Of course, of course. Good luck.

♪ And it hurts too much

Hey, hey, hey. That was so scary.

I can't do this. It's okay.

It's over now, right? Hey.

Hey, no, no, no. No, no, no. I can't. I can't.

I got you. I got you. I got you. It's okay.

It's okay. I got you.

I don't know how you guys do this.

I can't do this. I can't do this.

We kind of already did do it?

Yeah, she's right. She's right. You did.

You did. You all did.

Okay?

Day one, lives saved. It's no big deal, right?

I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me.

No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey. Look at me.

This is relief crying.

And I do it all the time, too.

So does he. Oh, yeah.

This is actually...

...the best kind of crying for a firefighter, okay?

It means you don't let your emotions unravel

and you stay focused when you're in the middle of the saving

and the doing and the whole thing.

Right?

And it also means you don't bottle it up

and let it mess with your head or your insides later.

All right, so this can be a good thing.

This is a good thing. You can cry. Okay.

You can cry.

♪ I won't run, I won't run

You did good today.

♪ Every shipwreck needs a setting sun ♪

I have a million texts from Eli.

Yeah, that tracks.

I've practically ignored everything he's asked me to do.

He's not an idiot. He knew what he was in for.

Yeah, but I don't think I did.

I mean, it's like--

it's like it was a game before

and he's trying to make it a job.

And it's just...

I don't know. It's like, am I in this, or am I not?

Are you-- Are you still "in charge"?

Because if we go directly there,

then maybe I can catch the end of this thing.

No? Like, "no" like it's a terrible idea?

Or like... "I have to ask Beckett"?

Beckett.

Hey, Captain!

Vic, if you say that you still don't feel like

you were in the pocket today,

there's something wrong with you.

I watched you in here all day, over and over again,

how you counseled those girls, how you taught those girls.

Yeah, I know. That felt good.

Chief, it felt good, it felt right, it felt easy.

Well, not easy, you know, but, um...

Yeah, I know. I know.

And it all makes sense to me.

And that's why it even more feels like I am...

on the wrong path here.

Vic, despite being incredibly smart,

you are incredibly dramatic.

Why can't the right thing be easy?

Why can't it be something right in front of you?

Why can't it be something that you are already doing well?

Well... Vic, I want you to run Crisis One.

Me? You.

You're good with people, with their feelings,

with getting in their heads

while still holding space for their hearts.

And you are one of the best first responders

I have ever seen because you care so deeply.

Thank you?

Diane Lewis has pitched in beautifully,

but now Crisis One needs a permanent leader.

Someone with your exact combined skill set.

Now, w-why haven't you taken the reins on this yet?

W-Wasn't that the plan?

Well, yeah, yeah, it was.

It's just that that was when it was a pilot program,

not this big citywide thing. Yeah, right.

Exactly. So now it needs a real leader.

Vic, your purpose isn't some big, giant thing

that you're gonna discover out there somewhere.

It's everything that you have done,

everything that you're going to do

that connects the dots of your life

that brings meaning and value to you, to others.

All of those dots make you ideal for Crisis One.

You missed it, Montgomery. But of course you did.

I was, uh--

Hey! Hey, guys!

Hey, I-I know I'm late,

but just, uh-- just hear me out for a second.

I-I was-- I was on a call,

and I couldn't leave my post or my team to...

I think what I'm trying to say is that I'm just like you.

And if you'll support me, if you'll do that,

you will, for the first time,

have a candidate that is one of you.

That knows the struggle of all firefighters.

Travis. Eli.

This is the cleaning crew.

And a lot of hot air to compensate for his hot head.

Lucky his campaign isn't doing better.

Between the lack of commitment and anger issues,

he'd reflect so poorly on FD.

Sir, I just want you to know that there are a lot of things

being said about me right now, and none of them are true.

Captain Greer: I agree, Montgomery.

That's why it was so important for you to be here today.

Unfortunately, this meeting is over.

We all have our FD obligations we're honoring, too.

Yes, sir.

I told you today was important.

I know that.

I know that!

You don't think I didn't know that?

You're making it worse.

You're making it look like you really do have anger issues.

Travis!

His temper.

You have to get it together.

I'll do better than that-- leak the Dixon story.

Captain, what-- w--

You can't still be mad at me,

I rerouted the rigs for your buddy.

No, what was that on the call today?

You just checked out.

No, on the contrary, you wanted to play captain, I let you.

Yeah, it's harder than it looks, huh? I was fine.

Yeah, with the mechanics of the call, sure,

that's the easy part.

It's managing your tender personalities

that makes this job a real pain.

Speaking of personality management--

You wanted to play captain for a day,

why don't you get to it, boss?

Hey.

Now you care who you embarrass me in front of?

I wasn't trying to embarrass you.

I was trying to keep people safe.

I was trying to keep you safe. No.

I think you were using me to angle for captain.

Oh, get out of here.

Are we-- Are we doing this again?

Deny it, but I'm right.

Just like I'm right about Ross and Sullivan

and just like I've been right about Beckett.

Everyone's just riding me to distract from their own stuff

and I'm sick of it. Are you listening to yourself?

Yeah, the other night I decided to do exactly that.

Okay, so that's what we're doing.

Rogue Maya is listening to herself?

You know, I don't need a lecture right now.

I'm trying to help you.

I am fighting for you, not against you.

I-I pulled you off that scene because you do not seem okay.

I know you, when you're spiraling,

when you're really sinking, you go after me.

You go after everyone. You go after your team.

Because that's what your dad taught you to do.

You go for gold alone.

But me and this team, we--

we are not your competition.

We are a team you work with.

We-- We do this together,

but you have to let us.

Please.

Are we done here?

Hey.

Hi.

What's wrong?

I heard it went great today.

Oh, no, it was. It was.

It was great.

For the girls, for Hughes, for me.

But I cannot stop thinking about this morning.

This morning?

You get that we'll probably never be able

to ride to work together, right?

We'll figure it out. I hate it.

I don't know how being with you is somehow harder than not,

because that was awful.

But this

Sully, this feels impossible.

All right, we'll never be able to carpool.

Seattle is a big city, we can explore its outskirts.

Seattle is not as big as you think it is.

All right, well, we'll move. How 'bout that, huh?

We'll quit our jobs and we'll move, uh, to Spain.

Sully...

Sorry, look, I'm not making light of this.

But what do you want me to say, huh?

I want more and so do you.

And it's not gonna change. Exactly.

You know how rare it is

for someone like me to be where I am.

Positions like mine are not handed out to people like me.

And even when we get them, it stays so precarious.

Sully, you know that. Profoundly.

I love where I am.

I deserve where I am.

I'm great at where I am.

But today I realized there's something

that's more important than that.

People look up to me.

People who look like me, people who need an example

of a me to know that they can do it, too.

I cannot mess this up for myself,

and I really can't mess this up for them.

Natasha, you are not listening. Listen, I don't know

how we make this work.

What-- What-- Sully, I'm saying I don't know if we can.

I am so sorry.
