That's four months of therapy together.

I can return to active duty.
First day back. How are you feeling?
Last day as Interim Captain. How are you feeling?
You called my family?
I invited them over for dinner next week.
Why would you do that?
♪ I'mma do it my way ♪
Andy: The tiniest spark can start a fire like a chain reaction.
Sometimes you want to let that spark catch so the fire grows.
Yeah!
Huh! Go again?
And sometimes you'd better just put it out...
No. [ Ball clacks ]
I'm done.
Your family pushed dinner, by the way.
I'm trying to reschedule but --
Don't hold your breath.
Oh, no, this dinner is happening.
Yeah, you'll eat, you'll talk.
I'll even take an extra shift at the station
to give you guys plenty of space to hash all your ya-yas out.
No, no. You're gonna be there.
I'm only in this mess because of you.
So now, you get to sit through all the "ya-yas," too.
The awkward silences, the judgmental looks.
And if my mom starts speaking in Yoruba,
she's talking about you.
...because fire is contagious.
Dude, I'm not gonna be some weird buffer

Andy: Uh, I'm naked in the shower, but, I mean...
Really? What? You do this to me at home all the time.
[ Sighs ]
We need shower boundaries at home and at work.
People are already invading my space enough.
Nobody else is invading your space.
Well, except for Tanner these days,
but that is clearly both invited and enjoyed.
You know, my dad had an open house
of my childhood home.
Creepy strangers wandering through,
hanging out in my bedroom, pawing through my stuff.
Except for the stuff you moved into my place.
I paw through that.
I mean, it just feels like an invasion.
He's auctioning off all my memories
to the highest bidder.
Oh, this isn't a conversation. You're just venting.
I mean, I didn't think the process would move this fast.
What's the big rush? I mean, I can say anything right now
and you wouldn't even hear it.
I hooked up with Ben. He cried after. I mean, did I do this?
Did I inspire him to move by moving out? Yeah, probably.
Let's save that conversation for shower talk tomorrow.
I actually came to talk to you about something.
No, no more shower talk. Shower boundaries, remember?
[ Door closes ]
I've been watching Jack.
It's, like, a habit I picked up while training.
You know, monitor my rivals, suss out their weakness
to make sure I could crush them.
Gibson and I have been paired up on Aid Car this shift,
and I still think he's not sleeping too well.
He seems fidgety and on edge.
And I just saw him arguing with Dean over nothing.
What if he came back too soon? Andy: You're being paranoid.
Jack knows his limits. His psychiatrist cleared him.
He wouldn't come back if he wasn't ready.
Well...
Okay, still, I'm a little glad
that we didn't have any real medical calls today.
You know, ease back in.
And shift's over in, like, 15 minutes, so...

Oh. No, I figured you'd want to drive.
You haven't driven our brand-new Aid Car yet.

And I know how much you like working the woop woops.
Nah, you go ahead.
[ Chuckles ]
Okay, clearly we both read the rule book
about two lieutenants on a call. Yeah, the passenger seat is the officer seat,
so whoever sits there is in charge.
Driver has to take their orders.
Congrats on reading a book, by the way.

Can't believe we pulled a "boo-boo" call
this close to end of shift.
A bunch of victims with minor injuries.
These always take a while.
Yeah. Easy, but a little boring.
Not the worst thing, probably.
Meaning? Our boo-boos are located down
in a dark, cramped tunnel.
Are you gonna be okay with that? Yeah.
Why wouldn't I be?
You got the rollers? Rollers, trays, paint.
Packed and ready. And the tarps?

-Yeah, super, super casual. -Huh.
Ben: You know, maybe grab a drink or something.

Smart move, getting the help.
A lot harder if you're painting everything solo.
No doubt, sir. Makes sense.
It's nice to have the help.
-Of course. -Mm.
Sullivan: It's especially good when the hands are tall, too,

Oh, that's not too bad.
Just keep that ice pack on there, okay?
Yeah? The swelling should go down.
Are you checking my work?
You don't think I can handle a sprained wrist?
Part of my job is making sure you do yours.
You used to do it to me all the time.
When you were a probie.
Okay, c'mon, we're almost done.
Reese: Finally. Someone who can tell us something.
How much longer are we gonna be stuck here?
We don't know, sir. They're repairing the train as we speak.
Is that it? That's all you know?
'Cause I have an important meeting in 20 minutes.
And I can't call to push it 'cause there's no cell signal
in this stupid tunnel.
Thanks for nothing.
Hello, everyone.
This is Lieutenant Gibson,

please raise your hand, and we can check you out.

Hi. Yes, hello.
I'm Tenney, 56.
I have a history of high blood pressure.
And low blood pressure.
And I taste copper. Okay.
And how were you injured, sir? Kenneth: Oh, no, I wasn't.
I just wanted to offer you my assistance.
Assistance?
Yeah, like, I'm a security guard with Seattle Fidelity.
You know, basically a cop,
except with a Taser and a whistle.
So if you need anything, just put me in, Coach.
Okay.
Well, we're good for now,
but we will call you in when we need you.
Hello. Did you fall when the train stopped?
M-My son, Will, did,
because he was playing that game
instead of holding on to the rail.
I-I mean, I -- I should've just taken it from him, but...
Hey, buddy?
The nice lady needs to check you out for a second.
Could you maybe put the tablet down?
[ Coughs ]
No.
Okay, um... [ Chuckles ]
Come on, Will. How 'bout for a-a candy?
I got the little red ones that you like.
I haven't liked those since first grade.
Okay. But maybe just, for now --
I said no!
Dad! I'm busy!

Would you mind if I did a quick exam?
It won't hurt. I promise.
Okay, fine. Just let me save my level.

He wants me to come over

I said no on principle. Tiny puppies are weird."

Um, can we help you?
No, I'm all good. Thanks!
Uh, actually, you're not. You're technically trespassing.
Oh. Sorry, I wasn't trying to...
You guys think I'm creepy now,

I'm a cadet at the Fire Academy.

I'm checking out all the stations
just to see where I might fit in, you know?
Assuming I graduate.
Well, most graduates do want to come here.
Obviously, we're awesome, so...

I just don't think this place is for me, though.
Good meeting you.
Whoa, wait, whoa. What do you mean not for you?
You may not know this, but 19 is, like...
Legendary. I know.
I'm just trying to be realistic here.

Everyone gets a little intimidated during training.
But if you want to be the best, you got to...
[ Inhales ] You got to play with the best.
Come on. I am giving you a real tour.
[ Chuckles ] You know you're just distracting yourself with more work
so you don't have to go deal with your dad.
No.
I am going to inspire a fresh, young mind
to embrace her fierce inner bad-ass competitor self.
So I don't have to go deal with my dad.
Okay.
Jack: Well, motion's okay.
No broken bones or deformities.
You are a bit warm.

Yeah, your temp's a bit elevated.
That's actually kind of normal for me.
I usually run a little bit hot.

How long has he had this cough?
A few days, I -- I think?
Any recent respiratory issues? Infections, pneumonia?
I'm not really sure. Um, I mean, maybe.
Any allergies?

Jack: Sorry for the delay.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Sarla: That guy you were just checking out,
did you learn anything about him?
You know, where he's been, what he does?
Oh, no. Sorry.
I can't get a read on him exactly.
Did you maybe notice if he was wearing a wedding ring?
Breath sounds are decreased, and he's got a fever.
What was the last thing he ate?

[ Gasps ] Oh, my God.
Are you okay? Is he okay? What is that?
U-Um...
I'm not sure, um...
A little more info might help.
Do you mind telling me where you flew in from today?
Uh, Bashran. It -- It's, uh, in the Middle East. Why?
Um, let me just, um, quickly take off my gloves,
and I'll do a more detailed exam.

There's been a serious outbreak of bird flu in Bashran.
We're concerned a new strain may have emerged there.
Could be more airborne and far more contagious.
A CDC and hazmat team is en route

This is surprisingly hard.

[ Scoffs ]
You know, what's funny is, um,
I never even thought about becoming a firefighter.
What changed your mind?
Living in a windowless cubicle,
writing mindless code for dating apps.
Until the building where I worked caught fire
a few months back, and, you know,
seeing the firefighters running upstairs
while I was running down...
All I know is, I wanted to be the one heading in, not out.
Applied to the Academy the next day.
Was it a big fire, or...?
Oh, yeah, the big Barclay Skyscraper downtown.
Oh, wow. Okay. We were there, too.
That was you?
You guys inspired me to change my whole life.

Neil and I ride the same subway train every morning.
He gives up his seat any time it's crowded, which is nice.
I never said a word to him, not one.
Sometimes I feel like he's about
to say something to me, but he doesn't.
And then, one day, he just stopped being on the train.
And the next day, too, and the next.
That's when I realized...
I missed him being around.
But he's back today.
And I told myself, if he ever comes back,
I'm gonna work up the nerve to ask
if he wants to maybe grab dinner.
No, a drink. Coffee!
I don't know, something.
