07x03 - True Colors

[bunniefuu]

"Fab-era-wary"?

- "Fab-era-rary"?
- [SIGHS]

It's "Fabruary," but
you knew that, right?

[SIGHS] I'm just gonna say
it. How many Prides do we need?

[SCOFFS] God! Well, there's two.

There's one in the winter,
and there's one in the summer.

I don't know. It feels
a little excessive to me.

I mean, "we're here, we're q*eer."

We don't need to
look like a box of

Lucky Charms year
round to prove that.

Okay. If you hate it so much, why
didn't you request off today?

- I don't hate it, Victoria.
- Oh, you sure?

And even if I did wanna skip
it... which I don't...

I promised my dad I'd meet
up with him and his boyfriend.

You haven't met him,
right? The boyfriend?

Nope. And the only
thing he's ever told me

about him is that he
has great taste in music,

- and that he's a deejay.
- [VICTORIA] Wha...

At this point, I'm just hoping
that he's at least older than I am.

You plan on introducing your
old man to your boyfriend?

Yeah, I don't see
why not. Eli's great.

Okay. So tell me, are you at all
worried that your hot young stepdad's

gonna ship you off for
boarding school or...

- I'm not... I'm not engaging with that.
- Why not?

Because you're not good people.

[EXHALES]

- [CHUCKLES]
- [ANDY] Mmm.

- Glad to have you back, Beckett.
- Glad to be back, Captain.

- Congratulations, by the way.
- Aw, thank you.

I didn't miss your
pinning ceremony, did I?

Um, no.

[CHUCKLES] We haven't
had the chance to do one.

Uh, listen. I know you've
been cleared to return,

but just a heads-up,
you're on desk duty today.

Wherever you need me, Cap.

I appreciate the time off.

Oh. Okay, great.

Uh, you know, you're gonna
miss the Pride parade today though.

Well, this may come as
a great surprise to you,

since everyone at 19 has the whole

"world peace, love wins,
Care Bear" thing going on,

but Pride... [INHALES]

isn't exactly my jam.

What did Pride ever do to you?

It's just always a circus,

and I'm not here to tame
any lions, tigers or bears.

- Oh, my.
- Yep.

Okay, Cutler. [CHUCKLES]

You'll be there in spirit
because, as you put it,

everyone at 19 does the whole

"world peace, love
wins, Care Bear" thing.

So...

happy Pride.

[SEAN CLEARS THROAT]

[CHUCKLES]

Happy Pride.

Unicorn or mermaid?

I don't know if any
more are gonna fit, sweetie.

Okay... [STAMMERS] Roz, we gotta go.

We're late. Come on.

Okay, quickly. Choose one.

They're both silver.
What difference does it make?

- I like the shiny ones.
- [ROZ] Yeah?

Great taste, baby girl.

- [KNOCKING]
- Put 'em on in the car. Let's go.

[MIRANDA] Come on. Let's go.

[BEN] Okay.

- Poor little...
- [BABY CRYING]

- Hi.
- Oh, n...

Miranda.

- Let's go, let's go.
- [MIRANDA] What are you doing here?

I told you I would come to you.

- [CARINA] I know.
- [MIRANDA] Okay.

I meant to text you, and
then he had a diaper blowout.

And there were movers
at the apartment, so

I didn't want him
around all that dust.

- And I-I feel like if I...
- Okay. Wait. Wait.

Carina, slow down. Take a breath.

There's no time for breathing
when things are happening so quickly.

I feel like one moment, I was
moving back to our apartment,

and the next it is like, a new baby,
a new house and... and a lawsuit.

Sorry.

There really isn't
an ideal time to be sued.

Hey, but I got you covered
on some baby essentials.

- You do?
- Ah.

There are some new things
that we picked up just for you.

- [CARINA] Wow.
- And there are some things

that we never got to use
from the baby that we lost.

- [CARINA] Wow. Oh, my God. That...
- So...

No, no. [CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

[MIRANDA] We just want you to have 'em.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah. Of course.

Uh. Hey, there's one less thing
for you to have to worry about.

Now you can move on to the...
the baby puke in your hair.

No.

Right there. To the right. To the right.

- There it is. Oh, yes.
- Oh.

Sorry I was late.

I was picking up the
keys to our new house.

Already? That's great.

Yeah. We got lucky. Technically,
we don't own it yet.

It's rent-to-own, but we wanted to

give ourselves and Liam a fresh start.

- What are you looking for?
- Everything.

My boots, my turnouts. [STAMMERS]
Someone's messing with me.

I mean, it's about time.

I've been captain for weeks.

I was starting to think
we'd gone soft. Just tell me.

I just got here.

Look, I mean, it's
great for you both.

I'm... I'm... I wish I could
give you time to get situated,

but with Jack being gone,
we're already short-staffed.

[MAYA] I get it. I get it.

I just feel guilty leaving Carina
alone to take care of the baby.

Don't worry. I'm gonna get
you a sub as soon as I can.

Okay, 19. Line up.

[CHATTERING, LAUGHING]

[SIGHS] Okay.

Is that all you got
for your new captain?

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed.

But my stuff better be on
the ground before we leave.

Where is Warren?

[BEN] Okay, just... [STAMMERS]
Just wait right here. Okay?

I'm sorry, Captain. It's
just been one of those mornings.

Okay. No, no, no, no. Just...

[ANDY] It's okay.

[SIGHS]

Sullivan, Ruiz, Cutler and Hughes,

you're on the EMS tent.

Montgomery, Bishop, Warren,
Larsson and little Miller,

you are on parade.

Everyone remember our safety protocols.

Stay alert, represent SFD
well, and have a kick-ass Pride.

What's wrong with the two of you?

[THEO] We broke up.

Isn't it obvious?

[ROBERT] Yeah. Obvious
and uncomfortable.

Oh. Oh, you feel uncomfortable?

Last time I checked, I was the one
working at a station with my ex.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, I'm glad you
think it's so funny, man.

You know what? I'm gonna
give you a minute to catch up.

[VICTORIA] This way. This way. This way.

- [GROANS] Got it. I got it.
- Oh. Oh, okay.

Excuse me. I just really... I need
to take a look at your arm, okay?

It doesn't look too good.
So can we just please...

- Come this way please.
- You know who does look good?

- You. You are so pretty.
- [VICTORIA] Wow. Thank you.

Guys, isn't she pretty?

- She pretty.
- Ethereal.

You should come with us to the parade.

We're actually already at the parade,

but I need you guys
over there, all right?

[ROBERT] This way.

Sullivan, Ruiz, can
you give me a hand?

All right, my friends.
Right here. Okay, thank you.

- Wow. What happened to you?
- [VICTORIA] Party's in here. Let's go.

[PA ANNOUNCER 1] Everyone
please get to your floats.

The parade is about to start.

Hey, everything's
gonna be fine, all right?

Miranda will help Carina out today.

You know that feeling when we
pull up to a five-alarm fire,

and there's that split second

- that the call seems impossible?
- Mm-hmm.

That is what it felt like
walking into the station today.

Like doing this job with Liam and
Carina at home might be impossible.

Children unlock a
whole new level of fear.

You know there's nothing you
won't do to get back to 'em.

And when you do what we do for a living,

you have to consider that you won't.

- Any chance that goes away?
- No.

[CHUCKLES] But whenever
my brain goes there,

I just think about my fantasy
basketball picks. [CHUCKLES]

No, but seriously though, it helps

knowing that what we
do makes them proud.

Great day for it.

Yes.

So glad you could join.

[SECURITY GUARD] Mr.
Mayor, I wanted to alert you

to the presence of protesters
on the parade route.

We've cordoned them off a few blocks
up and have the matter under control.

Thanks for letting me know.
I'm all set. Thanks.

So, I'd like to introduce
the love contract today,

in honor of the anniversary
of the same-sex marriage bill.

Do we have an update on them?

I can have them expedited and ready
to go citywide by the end of the day.

- That's great news. Great.
- Happy to be of service.

Now, there's something
I need your help with.

- I've been poring over the budget...
- I'm already ahead of you.

This whole last year has
been about consolidating,

providing resources to stations
with higher call volumes,

bringing costs down.

You'll see it. It'll be
reflected in our next audit.

Great. Then you should have no
problem cutting 10% of the FD budget.

Ten percent? Mr. Mayor,


I'm aware.

You're asking me to make staffing cuts.

That wasn't a part of our agreement.

I... I could do 4%, maybe five. I

could find a way to make that happen.

But I'd like to remind you that you

actually pledged to increase our budget.

Things change. Things have changed.

I was under the impression
that you were willing to do

whatever was needed to be
done to keep your position.

That's what you told me when
I visited you in the hospital.

This is what needs to be done, Chief.

[PA ANNOUNCER 2] All right,
everybody. Here comes the...

- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [CHEERING]

When I was walking
back from the bathroom,

I caught them trying to sanitize
their arm with hard seltzer.

Hey, can you tell me your name please?

Hey, what's your
name? What's your name?

That's Erica. My wife. I'm Jazzy.

Uh, did your wife, uh, take
any dr*gs or have alcohol or...

No, no, no. We don't...
No dru... No dr*gs.

We don't do those. [LAUGHS]

- Right.
- Oh, and this is, uh... this is Sienna.

They officiated our wedding.

- They're very psychic.
- [SIENNA GIGGLES]

[JAZZY] My little spiritual adviser.

Not really.

I just see people for who they are

and what they're hiding
even from themselves.

- [JAZZY] Sign it here?
- Yes, thank you.

- My great grandmother was a witch.
- [THEO] That's great.

Can you tell us what
happened to their arm?

So, we-we had to, um, take a shortcut,

and they snagged it on the fence.

But it worked out because it's gay

Pride, and we're
breaking barriers, right?

- Cannot stop us.
- Is your tetanus updated?

[ERICA] Can someone grab onto
my leg? I think I'm floating.

- Got you.
- [VICTORIA] You're not floating.

You're not floating.
You're just lightheaded.

- We need to get them on IV fluids now.
- Yeah.

Whoa, whoa. Okay, okay.

- Thank you.
- [JAZZY LAUGHS]

[ROBERT] There you go.
Just stay right here.

- Don't touch that.
- [ROBERT] Okay. Careful.

- [JAZZY] Be gentle, buddy.
- [ROBERT] Okay.

[VICTORIA] Don't touch that, okay?

[ROBERT] Careful, careful.

Look. I know everyone is trying

to have fun, right?

But we really need to
know what they have taken.

- Nobody's gonna get in trouble, okay?
- [VICTORIA] Erica?

[ERICA] Look, look, baby. [LAUGHS]

I'm a Viking. [SCREAMS]

[GROUP LAUGHS]

[THEO] All right.

- [SCREAMS]
- [VICTORIA] That is not sanitary.

Maybe she did take a
little something-something,

- if you know what I mean.
- Let's stay over here. Stay over here.

- [VICTORIA] Please sit down.
- For spiritual purposes only though.

- Stay here. Thank you.
- Namaste.

- Namaste.
- [ROBERT] Na-Namaste.

It feels different being
back here, but good different.

[KNOCKING]

Um. Yeah. I'm just trying to
put one foot in front of the other.

Go one day at a time.

- [PERSON KNOCKING] Help!
- Remember my steps.

I'm sorry, Frank.
I gotta call you back.

[GASPING] I need an ambulance.

I think I'm having a
heart att*ck or something.

- [WHIMPERING, GROANING]
- [SEAN] Oh, God. You're all right.

- You're all right, angel. Come with me.
- [GROANING]

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

[OSMAN] I know this isn't ideal.

[NATASHA] No, it's not ideal,
and you can't justify it.

Justifying it isn't really
my problem now, is it, Chief?

Is the safety of the city
your problem, Mr. Mayor?

'Cause I cannot guarantee it without

the appropriate manpower and budget.

[MAYOR OSMAN] I upheld
my end of the bargain.

You and that lieutenant can
keep doing whatever it is you do.

All I expect in return
is for you to do your job.

[NATASHA] The union
will push back on this.

Have Captain Farris
assigned Battalion Chief.

- Easy fix.
- Farris?

Head of the union? I have
captains with way more seniority.

And you were talking about making cuts.

Now we're handing out
promotions and raises, well...

If this isn't something you're
comfortable doing, let me know.

There were other people
on that list for chief,

none of them associated with scandals.

You okay?

We don't have to do this
if you don't want to.

No, I... I want to.

- Yeah?
- I want you to meet him.

Also, it'll be a good buffer.

Dad.

Travis. Hey.

Pastor, come here.

- Hey.
- How are you? Hi.

Travis, this is my pastor, Emmanuel.

- Pastor, this is my son Travis.
- Nice to meet you.

Oh, uh, Dad, E... This is Eli.

- Eli, this is my father, Paul Montgomery.
- Hi.

- It's very nice to meet you, sir.
- Great to meet you as well.

Kyle. Kyle, this is my
Travis, and his boyfriend.

- Dr. Martin!
- Eli Stern?

[LAUGHS] What are the chances?

Dr. Martin's been
my dentist for years.

Yeah. I'll take full
responsibility for that k*ller smile.

- Thought you said he was a deejay.
- Oh, he is on the weekends.

[CHUCKLES] Right.

You know, Travis, it is so
great to finally meet you.

Your dad has told me so much about you.

Yeah. I think it would have
been a bit inappropriate for us

to meet back when you two first
got together though, right?

[CHUCKLES] Maybe you're right.

- Better late than never.
- Mmm.

- Excuse me for a second.
- Yeah.

He seems great.

He is.

He is.

You're okay with that?

With what?

Dad, that. The guy
feeling up your boyfriend.

- Who is that?
- Oh. Yeah, I'm okay with it.

We have an understanding.

Oh, wait.

Are you two in an open relationship?

Travis.

[LAUGHS] We like to call it, uh,

ethical non-monogamy, but, yeah, we are.

[SCOFFS] Well, if you have to
put ethical in front of it...

Well, it may be a little
unconventional, but it works for us.

- I bet it does.
- Yeah, as long as it works for you two.

I totally understand the
utility of open relationships.

I'm such a serial monogamist myself.

I could never really do it. [CHUCKLES]

Oh, it hurts when I take a deep breath.

- Any nausea, vomiting?
- No.

- Medical conditions? Ulcers? Gallstones?
- [GRUNTS] No.

What about your diet?
Any sudden changes?

Uh, I haven't really, um... [GROANS]

I haven't really had an appetite

lately, so I haven't been eating much.

And why not?

[GROANS]

Come on. Out with it.

[GRUNTS] I've been on
weight-loss dr*gs for about a month.

The injectable kind, they
suppress your appetite.

And you actually lost weight?

Ten pounds.

So I can fit into this outfit at Pride.

Just so I understand, you were only

ten pounds heavier than you are now,

when you started taking it?

Yeah.

And this is your prescription?

Yeah.

I got it from some
telehealth doctor online.

They didn't ask as
many questions as you.

You don't say.

It-It probably wasn't
Mason. His face was covered.

The only thing you
could see was his eyes.

[MAYA] You're right.

And I was so far away, I didn't
even get a good look at the guy.

Exactly. I mean, and you
have so much on your mind

with Carina and the baby and the house.

There's a good chance you're
probably just, you know, on edge.

You still up for this?

I'm fine. This ain't nothing new.

[THEO] Drink some water, please.

[JAZZY] Hey, check me out.

Look, guys, I'm a firefighter.

- [ROBERT] Oh, no, no, no.
- [GIGGLES]

Take that off, please.

- All right, I got you.
- [JAZZY LAUGHS]

It's so heavy. No wonder
firefighters are so fit...

- [ROBERT] Uh-huh.
- And burdened.

All right, the bleeding's
stopped for now.

But they're still gonna
have to take a trip to the ER.

- The wound's pretty deep.
- To the ER?

- I'll call an aid car.
- At least they can get stitches.

What are you gonna do about
your deep wound, fire queen?

Uh. [CHUCKLES] My what?

Ugh, there is so much dark
energy coming off of you.

That's my uniform.
It's dark blue, right?

[SIENNA] No, that's not it.
You are eclipsed by a dark moon.

- You're dying inside.
- That's not very nice, you know?

- Who's next?
- [VICTORIA] It's... No, I'll be okay.

- Please, don't touch. Please.
- [SIENNA EXHALES SHARPLY]

- Mmm. You are chasing something.
- Excuse me.

Be patient. You'll catch it.

Yay.

I don't even have to read your aura.

- It is written all over your face.
- Is that right?

You yearn. You regret.

Short and sweet.

You got it bad.

[GIGGLES]

- [KYLE] Oh, you go all the way back.
- [ELI] Yeah.

[KYLE] Look, if you like the
oldies, I mean, you definitely

- gotta check out Sword Fight.
- [ELI] Mm-hmm.

It's this gay dive bar in Capitol Hill.
Played a couple of sets there.

- Good crowds. You'll have a good time.
- [ELI] Cool. Sounds like fun.

- Let us know when you're...
- It's not really my scene.

[PAUL] I thought the same thing.

I couldn't remember the
last time I was at a bar.

It was fun.

Kyle's amazing.

Well, I'm sure he's
fantastic at pressing play,

but the answer is still no for me.

Uh, Travis, can I speak to
you for a second, please?

Over there.

Uh. Could you stop
being so rude, please?

It took me three years
to find a good dentist.

They met when my
dad was still married

to my mother. What
do you want from me?

Do you want me to go listen
to the guy spin the oldies?

No. Maybe.

And I definitely don't expect
you to act like a petulant child.

Okay. My dad has treated
me like a disappointment

since the day that I came out to him.

I am so happy now that he's
living his truth. I really am.

But what? Do you want me
to forget about all of it?

There's no excuse for what
your dad did to you and your mum,

but have you considered that
maybe your parents are happier now?

I slept with Emmett.

What'd you say?

Twice.

[SCOFFS]

I am such an idiot.

No, you're not. You're great.

- This isn't about you.
- Oh, yeah.

- You have to know that.
- Trust me, I do.

Thanks, yeah. This is all you.

In fact, this couldn't be more you.

I knew you would do
something to push me away.

Eli, I'm really sorry.

[ELI] Yeah? What part are you sorry for?

Being a cheater and a hypocrite,

or are you sorry for being a
judgmental prick who overcompensates

'cause he's uncomfortable
with his own sexuality?

I mean, you even chose
the most hyper-masculine

career known to man to prove yourself.

You're making a scene.

You are a real piece
of work... [CHUCKLES]

and the most repressed
man I have ever known.

And I work in politics, so
that's saying something.

But hey, like father, like son, huh?

[CHEERING CONTINUES IN DISTANCE]

That was brutal.

You wanna talk about it?

You're the last person on
earth I wanna talk about it with.

- [SINGING IN ITALIAN]
- [GIGGLES]

- Sweet.
- Oh. [CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

I grew up changing and

[BABY BABBLES]

[CARINA] He's a little
escape artist, this one.

Isn't it crazy how fast you
can fall in love with someone?

I can't take my eyes off him.

He's everything I've ever
wanted, but I feel so unprepared.

Nothing can prepare you to
be a parent, not even L&D.

But, you know, one day, you look

back, wishing you could do it all over.

All the... the diaper blowouts,
the sleepless nights and...

Speaking of sleep, uh, you don't
look like you're gettin' much.

Any. Doesn't look like
you're gettin' any.

No. This guy does not know
the meaning of sleeping.

Yeah, and Maya is helping
as much as she can,

but every time
he falls asleep, I...

my mind goes right back to the lawsuit.

Now, I did not ask you about
Liam or the lawsuit or Maya.

I asked about you.

[SIGHS] Okay. As an OB, you know
Mom can't take care of baby

if Mom doesn't take care of herself.

- So lay down.
- [CARINA] Uh.

- I can't. I have too much to do.
- [MIRANDA] I'm taking care of him.

- I can't.
- You can. And you will.

- [CARINA] Wow.
- Mm-hmm.

[CARINA] So bossy.

[MIRANDA] Oh, yes.
There we go, there we go.

- We gotta get her to lay down.
- [CARINA LAUGHS]

Come. We're leaving.

[TRAVIS] I mean, I get
what I did was wrong,

but where does he, like, get off
saying I'm like my father, you know?

A man he just met an hour ago.

A man whose lifeblood at one point

was rampant internalized
and externalized h*m*.

Okay. So what did you say?

Well, I mean, I didn't
dignify it with a response.

But I... You know, I cheated,
and that was terrible.

But he doesn't know
what he's talking about.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Why do you keep saying okay?
- I don't know, Travis.

You spent the entire morning
complaining about Pride and rainbows.

And Herrera had to make

I don't have issues with
masculinity, Vic. I've done drag.

[SCOFFS] Yeah. Once, for Halloween.

Say what you wanna say.

Maybe his delivery was
wrong, but he wasn't.

- [TWO POPS IN DISTANCE]
- [PEOPLE SCREAMING]

- Oh, no.
- [VICTORIA] What the hell?

[CROWD SCREAMING]

[HORN HONKS]

Drive. There's an
exit up ahead on the left.

Those weren't g*nshots.
That was a car backfiring.

- Sure about that?
- Of course I'm sure.

I was trained to know the
difference. Why weren't you?

Stop the car!

[SECURITY] Go. Go, go, go.

[HORN HONKS]

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

- [SCREAMING CONTINUES]
- [GRUNTS]

This is Chief Ross. Let's
get seven to eight aid cars.

Three to the south
entrance. Four to the north.

We've got multiple people trampled.

Send in gurneys. Clear
the entrances and exits.

Be smart. Let's move.

- I gotta get them out of here.
- Yes, yes. Go.

Okay, come on.

Sullivan, Hughes, Ruiz,
do you copy? Everyone okay?

- [VICTORIA] All safe here.
- All right. Just stay safe. Stay alert.

All we can do is crowd
control at this point.

Bishop, Larsson, same goes for you.

I need everyone exiting
safely. Stay on the ground.

[MAYA] Yes, Captain.

Hey, hand me that speaker.

That was a car backfiring.

I repeat, that was a car backfiring.

There's a parking lot east.

Everyone remain calm and
walk in that direction.

Why am I not surprised?

Are you looking at
Wendy's chart again?

I told you I couldn't
sleep. [SIGHS] How is Liam?

He's fine. He's sleeping.

You know, it's a
miracle that you've made

it this far without a malpractice suit.

Ooh. You've had one.

Of course.

Ultimately, we realized it
was about bedside manner.

The patient said I
rolled my eyes. [SCOFFS]

[CHUCKLES]

- Okay.
- Nothing.

Whether... [LAUGHS] I did
or didn't roll my eyes,

that's hardly a
reason to sue a person

doing everything possible
to save your life.

At least you know you
did everything you could.

This delivery was just so complicated

that maybe I did
something wrong.

I don't know.

[CROWD SCREAMING]

[HORNS HONKING]

- [TRAVIS] Slow!
- Slow down! Slow down! Be careful.

Oh, my God. My dad.

Go! Go. Go. Go. Go.

[HORN HONKING]

Be careful! Slow down! Slow down!

- Yeah. Move. Move. Move. Move.
- [PERSON SCREAMING]

Hey, hey, hey!

Help! Please! Oh, my God! Please help!

Help!

[SCREAMING, GRUNTING] Help!

- Help!
- Stop the truck!

- [VICTORIA] Watch out. Get out of the way.
- Give me your arm.

- [THEO] Stop the truck!
- [ROBERT GRUNTS]

- Hey, hey! Hey, hey.
- [HORN HONKING]

[SCREAMING]

Stop, stop.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[ROBERT] Here we go. All right.

Oh, Lord have mercy. Did I die
and go to heaven? [CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

Get off, q*eer!

[BOTH GRUNT]

Get out of my way!

[ANDY] Careful, careful, careful.

- Exit's that way.
- [MAYA] Safely, safely, please. Hey!

Captain, we got a fight.
Get back! Get back!

- Get back!
- He jumped our friend!

- [PANTING]
- [ANDY] Careful, careful.

He could have internal injuries.

[PANTING]

His breathing is labored and
he's coughing up blood.

Warren, what's your


Please don't let me die.

[BEN THROUGH RADIO] Putting Roz and
Pru in the car. I'll be right there.

- Come on! Come on!
- [SCREAMING]

Dad!

- Hey.
- You okay? What happened?

He-He hopped the curb. He
fell pretty hard on his ankle.

It's fine. It's
fine. I'm a doctor.

You're a dentist and a deejay.
Hopefully, it's just a sprain. Okay.

- Can you help him walk on it?
- Yeah, yeah.

You guys gotta get out of here.
It's only gonna get worse.

Hey, Kyle. I'm sorry
I was a d*ck earlier.

I hope I get a chance to
make a better impression.

This was just fine.

Go.

He's developing a tension pneumo.

[BREATHING SHAKILY]
Help. Please. Please.

[ANDY] Just relax.

Don't try and talk.
It'll make breathing harder.

There's an aid car on the way.

But it'll take forever
to get through this crowd.

Please don't let me die.
Please. [BREATHING HEAVILY]

Breathe. Breathe.

We could do a needle decompression.

- Let's do it.
- I'll get the O2 monitor off the rig.

Mason!

You have got to try and hold still.
Breathe. Just focus on breathing.

- Go ahead.
- [BEN] Okay.

Now, I'm gonna put
this needle in your chest

to relieve the pressure
that's building up, okay?

Ready? Here we go.

[GRUNTING, BREATHING HEAVILY]

- [BEN] There we go.
- [INHALES, EXHALES SHARPLY]

[ANDY SIGHS]

Hopefully, next time,
he'll think twice

before taking his rage
out on innocent people.

[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]

Oh, this is not the
drag I signed up for.

Uh... But at least my crown didn't fall.

Your injuries don't look too
bad either. Just a little road rash

- thanks to your padding.
- Oh, so you're saying

- it literally saved my ass.
- Mm-hmm.

- Oh.
- [VICTORIA] Yeah, girl.

- Any sharp pain? You took quite the fall.
- Oh, I feel just fine.

I didn't mind being the
little damsel in distress today.

Okay.

Well, you might, uh, experience a little
bit of soreness over the next few days.

Soreness? Ain't
nothing wrong with a little

bit of soreness, Mr. Firefighter Man.

[CHUCKLES] You still look beautiful too.

- Well, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

[DRAG QUEEN] Oh, and we're off. Oh.

The witch was right. You
do got it bad. [SIGHS]

You should tell her how you feel.
Otherwise you might regret it.

[PATIENT GRUNTS] Really, everyone's

on weight-loss injectables right now.

Why does this have to happen to me?

[GROANS] Go ahead and judge me.

All I wanted was to go
out there feeling good.

And here you are curled up in
the fetal position in a firehouse.

How'd that work out for ya?

[SIGHS] Oh.

This will help with the pain, but
I think you should see a doctor.

It sounds like you've
got some GI issues.

And correct me if I'm wrong,

but I thought the whole point of
Pride was embracing who you really are.

[SCOFFS] Yeah.
Well, that's a little hard

to do when you don't like what you see.

If you can't show up as
yourself, then why show up at all?

Girl, if I can't find
acceptance out there,

I don't think I can find it anywhere.

I'm not judging you, my fabulous friend.

I spent most of my life drinking
alcohol to find acceptance.

It didn't help.

And neither will that medication.

I know. I'm stopping.

Besides, I'm out of them anyway.

And they are ridiculously
expensive and hard to find.

Possibly because people who don't
really need them are taking them?

[GASPS] Oh.

- Looks like I'm rubbing off on someone.
- [CHUCKLES]

- Look out, Pride 2025, here I come.
- [LAUGHS]

So, obviously, you've looked
at your part dozens of times.

So, now let's take a look
at the nurse's documentation.

Well, "patient presents with
PIH and gestational diabetes."

Okay. I see why you induced her labor.

[STUTTERS] Yeah. I was
trying to be proactive,

but things kept getting worse.

The baby was big, and
she needed a C-section,

but I remember she really wanted
to have a vaginal delivery so...

But you made the decision
to give her a stat C-section.

Yeah.

The cord had prolapsed,

so I elevated the
baby's head off the cord

and rushed her to the OR and got
the baby out in three minutes.

Three minutes. Three.

Carina, you were effective and
attentive the whole way through.

- I didn't do anything wrong.
- No. [CHUCKLES]

[SNIFFLES] Oh, I didn't
do anything wrong.

No, honey.

[STAMMERS] It looks like you
did everything that you could.

Yeah.

Am I supposed to feel better?

- Because I feel worse.
- [CLICKS TONGUE] Oh.

Oh, I'm so angry.

I feel like I spent my
whole life helping people,

and why am I being
punished for this now?

It's unfortunate, but... [SMACKS LIPS]

... being litigious is the only way

for some families to get the relief

and financial support that they need.

You know, Wendy... like most mothers...

she has hopes and dreams for her child.

Sometimes those things cost money.

[SONG ENDS]

My brother was one of the protesters.

- You don't know that.
- I do.

I saw him again without his gaiter.

And maybe I shouldn't be
surprised given how we grew up.

But to see him like that, like
one of them, I don't know.

Go home.

Go be with your wife and your baby.

That's an order.

I got it.

Okay. We're not doing this.

We're not giving them this much
power. This is exactly what they want.

I'd say mission accomplished.

I expected it to turn into a circus,

but I... I didn't expect
fascists to be part of the show.

Why can't they just
leave other people alone?

Intimidation.

- That's their one and only tactic.
- [BEN] It's infuriating.

I mean, at what point does the doxing...

the harassment of trans women...

[STAMMERS, SCOFFS] the armed men at
voter drop boxes, when does it stop?

This is what they do.

They show up, put everyone on edge,

so that the slightest
provocation sets everyone off.

[STUTTERS] There's gotta
be something we can do.

We can't just let them win.

No, we can't.

I have an idea.

I just need to call
in a favor from my dad.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

Just right over there.

What are you doing here?

[CHUCKLES] I heard y'all
were having a party.

You didn't wanna take it easy
considering what you went through today?

What I went through?

I'm alive. I'm still fabulous.

I ain't gonna let a
little road rash stop me.

- I can see that.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm just saying, I
don't know if I'd be ready

to go dancing fresh out of the ER.

[SCOFFS] Well, I did do
an outfit change first.

[LAUGHS]

Listen, Mr. Firefighter Man, bad
things happen to people all the time.

We acknowledge it, but we
can't let it break us.

Now, where is that
boo-tenant, Mr. Sullivan?

- [CHUCKLES]
- Hey.

You better find
Sullivan before she does.

I could take her.

Hey, Ruiz, not for nothing, but you
did a great job as interim captain.

Thank you, Chief. It was a... I
was grateful for the opportunity.

There'll be more.

Hey, welcome. Party is this way.

- Thanks for having us.
- Coming through. Coming through.

This is for you.

- What's this?
- Consensual relationship agreement.

All you and Hughes have to do
is sign it and send it to HR.

At least something
good came out of today.

- Come on, Vic. Please.
- My God. Is this really necessary? Damn.

Yes. It's mandatory. Everyone
has to join the dance party.

You too, Ruiz.

Be right there.

[CHUCKLES]

Maybe we have more in
common than I realized.

That's gotta be one
of my biggest regrets.

I pushed a lot of my hang-ups onto you.

Dad, we don't have to get into all that.

I don't think I realized

- how much it affected you.
- I...

In my eyes, you were always so brave.

As a kid, you were fearless.

I remember the day you came out to me.

I was terrified.

So, I taught you to be ashamed.

To bury it deep down.

Not let anyone see it,
like I had always done.

But that shame you're holding on to?

That shame that tells you you can't

be your whole imperfect, messy self?

- [SOBS] Dad.
- That doesn't belong to you.

That's mine.

And it's time for you to let it go.

You're an incredible man, Travis,
