ALL: ♪ Happy birthday, dear Riley ♪
I told Jake that at least you owned up to what you did.
What-what did he do?
He broke Riley's heart.
Please just go.
BODE: The night of the accident,
the last thing she felt before she died was pain.
Hey! Hold on! Hit the brakes!
I did! (tires screeching)
How you liking Cal Fire?
One minute I'm tying knots,
and the next your mom's taking me on a ride-along.
She must really like you.
The med bag pallet just dropped.
It's here. Well, go fetch it, Recruit.
Did my dad ask you to haze me?
Your father's just worried about you.
I told you I don't want you doing this.
And I heard you.
It's just not up for debate.
And I got into a fight with my dad.
He asked your mom to haze me so that I'd quit.

Awesome. Good job.

Probably not since those Malört shots

Malört. Huh. (chuckles)
That's one of the reasons I don't drink anymore.
It's a good reason.

It was fantastic.
(exhales) Was it?
Really? 'Cause I've never seen
a kid's play that was fantastic.
Are you gonna show her the bruise you got, you know,
when you fell? Oh, yeah, I got a bruise.
It's black and blue. Have you ever seen one?
Let me see.
She also said she's a little tender
in the lower left quadrant.
Mm, so now you're a doctor?
No, just your husband
telling Dr. Khan stuff
that you definitely won't
because you're too fixated on getting
into that clinical trial. About that--
Okay, don't say that I don't qualify,
because I do. I'm still Stage 4, and I'm stable.
But you fell-- I fell because I had
an exceptionally hard day at work
and I hadn't eaten breakfast
and who doesn't fall?
Okay? My disease has not progressed.
I feel the same.
You should write that down, Doctor.
Patient stable based on a feeling.
I want to prepare you for the chance
that the lab results could show that you're now Stage 5
chronic kidney disease,
which would disqualify you from the trial.
You want to run labs, you should definitely run them.
And then you'll see I'm fine.

The amount of hay and machinery around it.

He's family. (crying)
I'm Ali. This is my daughter, Reese.
Listen, we're gonna do everything
that we can to save the horse...
Henry. Right. Henry.
We're gonna do everything that we can to save Henry.
But, right now, I need you two
to come with me and get out of here. Okay?
Henry was my dad's horse.
My dad's baby.
He called Henry my brother.
I remember your dad.
Used to come into Smokey's every Sunday,
order a bacon, egg and cheese.
Very sorry to hear about him passing in the Creek Fire.
Hard to believe he's gone. (Reese crying)
ALI: Henry was family to my dad.
I can't leave family behind. (sniffles) Would you?

Your dad would want you to be someplace safe, not here.
Okay, it's time to go, sweet Reesie.
(sniffles) What about Henry?
The firefighters will get him out, okay?
Okay. Say goodbye.

It's too late. We already hid it.
Now he'll be pissed at me and you
on your first day in charge.
No way.
We're not telling. No way.
A-At least let me bandage it, give your hand some stability.
We've got an uncooperative horse in the barn.
I'm closing him in there for now,
but the barn just became our priority.
Copy, Captain. Why would we want to keep the horse in the barn?
Why not let him out to escape?
Because the horse is uncooperative.
Letting him loose would be a worse liability.
Were you not listening?
I'm asking questions to learn.
Probies, follow me.
That is not the way you speak
to a superior officer, probie. JAKE: Whoa,
whoa. Oh. I'm surprised you're even speaking to me at all.
You want me to report you to the chief? Is that what you want me
you want me to do? For what? For doing my job?
Hey, hey, hey. Hey! Gabriela, now is not the time for you to be a stubborn...
Listen! The two of you, stop.
Both of you guys, step away.
Probies, to the barn.
(sighs)
All of you.
Damn it.
Really, Manny?
On-on her first day?
She was out of line, Jake.
And you're about to be.
I outrank you. Yeah.
Don't you forget it. Yeah, okay.
Okay.

Where's Bode?
Haven't seen him.
Go. You need real treatment.

What the hell are you two doing freelancing over here?
What's going on? Let me see that.

That already looks infected.
When did this happen?
At the gate.
At the gate?
Why didn't you say something to me then?
Bode, you knew about this?
Freddy, back in the carrier.
I can still work. No, you can't.
You're literally on a hand crew and your hand's
out of commission. You're done.
Sir, Freddy's one of our best.
And now he's injured,
which means he's dead weight.
So I need you out of our way so the rest of us
can do our jobs.
Back to the buggy.
And you, get back to work.
We'll talk about this later.
All right, I need both crews maintaining
a clear path from here to the engine.
Sun's about to set, so make note of any terrain hazards now.
All right? Got you.
Let's go! How we doing on water?
FIREFIGHTER: We're down to 100 gallons.
Yeah, it's not enough for us to save this barn.
Don't need to save it. Just need to buy me some time
to get that horse out of there.
Great. Hey, get some water on that.
All right, take some probies,
find a water source. Copy. With me.

was in the car. Uh, I went back to grab our go bag.
I came back and she was just gone.

You could've gotten somebody killed.
Hell, you could've gotten yourselves killed.
I am sorry.
I promise I won't do anything like--
Freddy, you were hurt, and you covered it up.
I can't overlook that.
You're off of active fire duty.
Cap, I cannot-- And you're gonna be
reassigned to kitchen duty here
till your hand heals.
I'm not gonna send you back to Lancaster this time.
You're too good of a firefighter for me to lose.
I could kiss you, Cap-- Freddy...
don't push your luck with me.
Copy.
And get the hell out of here.
(Freddy closes door)
Give me one reason why
I shouldn't send you back to prison right now.
You said that I'm supposed to have
the crew's back as First Saw.
I also said that I need to trust you, Bode.
I can't clean up after your mistakes!
Who's asking you to, man?
Your mom, for one. W-What?
She asked me to keep you here.
Why would she--
She wouldn't bend the rules like that.
Bode, I stuck my neck out for you.
Don't make me regret it.
Your mistakes, they reflect on me.
They affect my fate.
I'll do better as First Saw.
You don't have to worry about that.
You're not First Saw anymore.

Stage 5.
That means... No trial.
Dialysis. Bad news.
Don't you dare cry. No, no. No.
Okay. (sighs deeply)
What do we do?
We keep me stable until I'm eligible for the transplant,
assuming the dialysis works.
That's the path to a long, happy life.
This is serious.
Yeah.
Did I ever tell you I was in Music Man?
So many times, yeah.
(chuckles)
Because I kept singing in my room all the time
so my roommate said I should try out.
But... I hated it.
I hated it so much.
(chuckles) I love singing in my room,
but I hated being up there
and all those people staring at me.
And now that I'm worse...
I'm gonna have to miss work for dialysis.
And everybody's gonna know,
they're all gonna stare at me, they're all gonna be worried.
Luke knew today, at Smokey's.
(exhales) I'm gonna have to tell family,
so they don't worry. This...
This can't be our little secret anymore.
(sniffles, sighs)
I have to tell Bode.
Well, I will be there when you do.
You have the best moustache.

I'm very lucky. Yes, you are.
Hey, can I get a whiskey? Neat, please.
You know, I spent a lot of time with Cory, the C.O.
I was asking him how Bode was doing.
He said he got in some kind of trouble early on,
that you wanted to send him to High Rock, or back to Lompoc.
Just curious why you didn't.
It was a unique situation.
LUKE: Yeah, well, Cory said
you were gonna send him away,
but then Sharon came by.
She got some kind of blackmail on you
or something? (chuckles)
'Cause usually
she's a stickler for the rules, you know?
Blackmail's not Sharon's style. Mm.
It's not mine, either.
Doesn't look good on a firefighter.
Or family. Oh.
You really want her job, don't you?
Hey, it's got nothing to do with that.
Luke, you expose this
and you run the risk of sending Bode back to prison,
which I know you don't want.

Hey.
Jake answered my phone earlier.
When you called.
That's why you thought I hung up on you.
(scoffs)
I'm sorry, look, I-I didn't...
I don't mean to cause any trouble between you, you know?
When we're just-- Oh.
I told him. You and I are friends.
And friends talk.
Right.
Friends, yeah. Good.
