ANDY: We found him in the closet.

He likely got disoriented
trying to get out.

I'm ordering you
to wait for the aid car.

- Due respect, sir, but no.
- No?

I'm gonna save his life instead.

SULLIVAN: I can get this house
in order, sir.

You need someone who can unite them.

And that someone is me.

You don't love me, Jack.

We're gonna go to California,

and you're gonna stay here.

And we'll always
have love for you, Jack.

This is you.

Captain Bishop has been
relieved of her duties.

VIC: Yeah, Phoenix!

JACK: Let's hear it for

Come on, it's a celebration of life

and... and survival and vaccines

and the ability to gather together again

and to hug and be human.

- Come on.
- MAYA: You're right. Seattle has risen.

What's to hate?

Stilt walkers.

I hate stilt walkers.

Same.

JACK: Yeah, pub crawlers.
I really hate pub crawlers.

VIC: Ooh, crowds. I hate crowds.

I hate drunk crowds, hot, sweaty crowds.

Just, you know, crowds in general.

- Yeah.
- Awful.

TRAVIS: You know what I kind of hate?

I kind of hate fireworks.

Hmm?

They're environmentally catastrophic,

and they t*rture dogs.

Yeah, I hate people who point
out the flaws in fireworks.

I didn't say it wasn't a good show.

Alright? It's painful.

I mean, it's... it's...
It's destroying team unity.

Or, at the very least,
it's destroying my personal team unity.

Then you personally should forgive him.

Okay, when you forgive him,
we all forgive him.

Until then, he just sits all alone.

Bishop.

Are you in a wedding dress?

Yes, sir. I am in a wedding dress,

because I came here from my wedding.

I married this extraordinary woman,

and it was the happiest moment
of my life,

and then I got
your absurdly sexist e-mail,

and it threatened to ruin my night,

but I didn't let it, sir.

- I came here instead, but...
- Bishop, you were suspended

for insubordination
and breaking protocols.

If you think that you can
get out of that

by crying sexism,
you got another thing co...

I'm not crying sexism, sir.

I am shining a light on it

in the hopes of creating real change.

ANDY: All due respect, Chief,
my father, Pruitt Herrera,

was written up for insubordination

on several occasions, but he was
never relieved of his duty.

- That's not pertinent to this...
- I-I am speaking.

- Oh.
- I can list off

a dozen male fire captains

I know personally
who stepped out of line

and stepped on toes
every day of their career,

and they never even got written up.

She refused a direct order.

Yes, sir, but the alternative

was to let an injured child
die on the street.

Yeah, and that child,
by the way, lived...

This is not how
we do things at the SFD, Bishop.

But it is, sir.

At SFD, we fight for what's right.

It's how my father raised me.

It's how he raised every
firefighter at Station .

My team won't accept my demotion, sir.

I don't accept it.

I work too hard for my job
and I am too damn good at it.

Plus, it is my wedding day,

so you don't get to
steal my job or my joy,

at least not without a fight.

Okay.

Okay.

You can keep , Bishop.

Herrera, I'm reassigning you
to , effective immediately.

- What?
- Bishop, if your entire team...

- Sir. No.
- ...is incapable of

respecting the chain of command,
then they need a reminder

about how this department works.

I'll have all of them
reassigned within a week.

- Sir, I...
- Or...

- Or you can step down...
- Mm!

...and I'll appoint a new captain,

pending completion of the investigation

of your insubordination
and protocol defiance.

And just for the record,

I am glad that kid lived,

but if he had d*ed on your engine,

the lawsuit could have put the
whole station out of business.

♪♪

I'll step down
pending investigation, sir.

Good call.

Congratulations on your nuptials.

You know, sir, if I may,

Herrera would be
the best interim captain at .

Except Herrera's
already been transferred.

She's reporting for duty
at Monday morning.

- Sir...
- What?

Herrera, you are a good firefighter,

but as long as you keep
invoking your father's name,

you will never get out of his shadow.

This move will be good for you.

My decision's final.

MAN ON PA: For your convenience,
booths, stalls, and picnic tables

are located at the north end
of the fairgrounds.

It's unnatural, man.

Can't be any weirder
than an "undies bike race."

It definitely is.

How's your program going?

It's not my program.

It's for all of us.

A program within the fire department

to respond to nonviolent emergencies

with a team of
nonviolent first responders.

No cops, no g*ns.

Just a team of first responders

trained to de-escalate any situation.

- I-I don't need a sales pitch.
- They're trained...

You've been talking about it
for months. I'm on board.

Then why do you keep
calling it my program?

- 'Cause you're paying for it.
- Not for long.

I'm only funding the pilot program

with the settlement money,

but once the city sees
how many lives it saves,

it's got to fund it with
at least the same enthusiasm

as... stilt walkers.

Anyway, what's up with you, bro?

I know how you are when
you're on board with something,

- and this isn't it.
- I'm on board.

And...

B team has been grumbling
that you're adding extra

to the workload without any extra pay.

Well, the world doesn't change

unless we change it, bro.

That's what I told them.

And also tell them that there
will eventually be extra pay.

There... There will be.

Will do.

Hey, what name did you land on?

Crisis One.

- Ooh. Yeah.
- Yeah.

No, it's like an action movie.
I like it.

That's why I like it.

- [FIREWORK WHISTLES]
- Hey.

[FIREWORKS EXPLODING]

There.

- Fireworks.
- Illegal fireworks.

I hate them even more
than the other kind.

Last one there has to ride
in the undies bike race.

No, no!

[LAUGHS]

Hey.

It's a drunken make out, man.

It's a drunken make out at a wedding.

Everyone knows that nothing
that happens at weddings count.

I'm saying you should tell...
You need to tell her.

Tell her before she gets in too deep.

He's just a guy. You're, like,
her favorite person.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm gonna keep doing this
until you tell her,

because I'm a good friend. [CLUCKS]

Okay. Okay. Okay! Okay!

What would you do if I told you
I was in love with you?

Was not expecting that. Uh...

Flattered.

It's a hypothetical, man. Come on.

Whew.

I don't know, man.

It would be weird for a while, right?

- Yeah.
- And then I would tell you

that I know I look good in a suit.

Okay.

But I'm just not into men.

And then what?

Yeah, and then it would be...

Probably be awkward for a while.

And you would start to avoid me.

I might leave when
you come into the shower,

but that's only because
I don't want to tempt you

with this bodacious bod.

Exactly.

These rippling abs.

It would be weird,
and you would start to avoid me.

Then you would start to
change how you talk to me.

You would start to change what
you do or say in front of me,

and I'd stop being your brother
and start being

somebody that you have to manage.

When I saw Vic outside
and that dude's tongue

down her throat, I...

Yeah, bro, I felt a little sick.

I felt a little heartbroken,

and honestly, I felt a lot of relief.

She doesn't feel the same way I feel,

and I-I don't want to become
someone that she has to manage.

[SIGHS]

I'm afraid I'm gonna be alone
my whole life.

Inara's leaving.

Everyone leaves.

It's kind of my thing, right?

It's like this cycle I can't break,

and I hate it.

I hate being alone.

So when I hear about you
being in love with Hughes

and you're not gonna
do anything about it,

you're not gonna reach for that?

I don't get that, man.
I don't understand.

If you love her, like...

I love her a little bit, man.

...because I'm afraid of pain, and you,

you are being, um...

sweet and romantic and beautiful.

You are so beautiful,

and I am so afraid that I'm
signing up for more pain.

[SIGHS]

Look.

[SIGHS]

You were the one who asked for this.

I know.

You said you wanted it.

I did. I-I do.

Yeah?

I do.

I do.

What's the holdup with the leak?

The Class B foam is on our engine

in a compartment that just saw
the business end of that truck.

So you're just gonna let
the risk of a fuel expl*si*n

- loom over the scene?
- I asked for a backup engine,

and 's right around the corner,

- but with all these...
- Okay, but... but traffic.

Can they come across the park?

A couple hundred drunk folks

would have to walk
in an orderly fashion.

Okay, so what's your plan?

Hope it doesn't blow up.

Yeah, I said a prayer
to St. Francis and everything.

You know, this engine
means a lot to this team.

Not to mention the civilian inside.

You know, now I know what McCallister

- meant about you, Sullivan.
- And what's that, sir?

Olympian Bishop,

let's see if you've still got it.

We need to get up and in there.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah, it's like climbing a tree.

It's a fuel leak. It's not safe.

What's your idea?

Alright, I'll do it.

No, we got it. Bishop, I'm with you.

- Herrera...
- Sullivan, I still outrank you.

Oh, burn.

Emmett, can you ride up ahead,
kind of act like a siren,

see if you can clear a path?

Okay.

[IMITATING SIREN WAILING]

Not... Not an actual siren.

You can use words.

Got it. Okay.

Look, gonna need all hands

to lift this thing over the curbs,

and pay attention to the crowd,
'cause they are drunk and high

and we don't want to run them over.

- You have to live! Please live!
- Alright. Let's go.

- You have to live!
- Okay.

Tara, you've got to breathe, okay?

Just calm down.
I'll stay with her a minute.

Thank you. Love you.

- Wait, what?
- [CRYING] I love him.

I love him.

I hear you. I-I love her.

I need to tell him.

You want to go to the hospital?

I hurt my ankle.

Come on.

Come on. We can walk to the hospital.

Put your arm around me. I got you.

[SIREN WAILING]

My dad had this old beater...

A yellow Firebird.

It sucked so bad.

The exhaust was all twisted up,
so it would literally pump

carbon monoxide into the car.

I would get carsick
every time I rode in that thing

until they finally figured out
what was causing it.

You know, when he d*ed,

I used to just sit in the thing
in the driveway.

It made me feel, like,
close to him, you know?

I crashed it driving home one night.

I was fine,
but the car was [CLICKS TONGUE]

totaled.

And...

and it felt like I lost him
all over again.

I'm just saying, I get it,

and if you want to cry
in the shower or something,

I'll guard the door
and make it look like I'm not.

[LAUGHS]

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I married Robert too fast
because my dad was dying.

And, you know, watching
the engine go up in flames

when I'm not even part of
anymore felt like...

Like you lost the only thing
you had left of him?

No.

Because it's not
the only thing left of my dad.

My marriage is, in a weird, twisted way,

and I guess I feel like
if I let go of that...

...then what's left?

You.

You're left.

[SOBS]

[VOICE BREAKING] I lost my dad.

I lost my best friend.

And my station.

And my engine. And my marriage.

And you're still standing.

You know what that means?

Hey.

It means you're the phoenix.

Hughes, I have something to say to you.

Oh, God. No.

Now.

No, I just... Yes, I said...

I said the word "ass" in front of Pru,

and she did repeat it a... few times,

and it was just... It's not... Okay.

It was my fault, and I just... I just...

taught your daughter
her first swear word,

and I'm so, so sorry, but I...
No, it's not that. Uh, I just...

Oh, also I said "craptastic,"
like, six times,

'cause I don't... For some
reason, it made her laugh.

Okay. Hughes, Hughes, just... just...

She found that word amusing.
...give me a second.

Uh...

I am...

I, um...

I am in, uh...

What?

I am in need of
a conflict resolution specialist

for Crisis One.

It's an unpaid position,
so it's been hard for me

to find somebody great,

but I think with some
training, you can be great,

because you are warm
and kind and very smart

and easy to be around

and people respond to you really well,

even though you teach babies
how to swear now.

Are you asking me to be

Yes, I am asking you to be

Nuh-uh. Ah!

Ear... Inner-ear thing.

Ah! Ah!

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Feels wrong to be in here
without the engine.

Feels wrong to be in here without you.

I haven't filed for divorce yet

because I didn't want Maya and Carina

to feel in any way responsible
for the end of our marriage

when they're just beginning their own.

So I waited, and I've been waiting.

Waiting to see if you would
get how wrong you were.

If... If you might really apologize.

If you... If you would really change.

I...

But you haven't.

But I have.

- Robert. Robert.

I love you.

I do love you.

But I don't respect you.

[BREATHES SHARPLY]

And I can't forgive you.

So I called a divorce lawyer.

What?

He said it should be pretty simple.

No kids, not many assets.

[SIGHS]

We made promises to each other
before God and my father.

But I believe
that both God and my father,

they would want me to be happy.

I believe that both God and my father
