Firefighters down.
Repeat... firefighters down!


Air Ambulance Two, this is Dispatch.

Can you reroute to assist?

LUCY: Negative.

We have a priority spinal transfer.

Do you have a visual
on how many firefighters are down?

All of them...

The entire .

They were on the upper span
when it collapsed.


They all went down.

BUCK: Hey, Connor, listen,

I-I know you guys are
going through some stuff,

but your wife cannot live
in my apartment forever, okay?

- You have to talk to her.
- Well, she won't talk

to me. I think
it's her crazy pregnancy brain.

Please don't tell me you used
those exact words with her.

Well, if you did,
it would explain some things.

Why don't you talk to her?

Ah, listen, not my wife, not my baby.

Well, technically...

Hey, don't even go there.

Look, Connor, you're having a kid now.

Okay? You-you have to grow u,
stop hiding and,


and find a way to be honest with Kameron

- about how you really feel.
- Buck?

- Huh?
- Who are you talking to?

- I'm not talking to any... Uh...
- Buck, don't hang up.

Um, it was actually just a telemarketer.

Yeah, I got you. Uh, come on.

Ah.

- Ah.
- Okay, here we go.

Okay, I am headed to work.

Uh, you-you have a good day.

Okay. Thanks.

(muffled): Be safe.

- (children laughing)
- No.

No, no, no, no, no. It's
packing time, not playtime.

You're being picked up at
: , and I got to get to work.

♪ ♪

Thank you. Perfect.

- Oh...
- I know.

This place looks like
a b*mb exploded. I'm so sorry.

No, no, no, not judging.
The kitchen's probably worse.

Okay, what do we still need
to get together?

Uh, Tristan is packing up
his bathroom stuff,

Stephanie still has pants in the dryer.

(laughs)

And Erin can't find her red sneakers.

Hey. Hey, hey, no running in the house!

Whoa!

You-You're supposed to be
helping her find her sneakers.

- I am.
- It doesn't look like it.

Come on, let's go look
on the back porch.

- Hey, no!
- KAREN: Ugh!

You'd think by now we'd have
the packing routine figured out.

I don't think
there's really such a thing

when kids are involved.

You might be right about that.

Oh, I am right. I also think

you secretly thrive on the chaos.

It's how I grew up.

Kids running around the house
all day long,

you know, playing games,
getting into trouble.

There's something comforting
about the chaos of a full house.

(inhales) If you say so.

Pretend all you want,

but I'm not the only one
who loves the crazy.

- Okay, you got me.
- Mm-hmm.

- (laughs) I secretly love it, too.
- Hmm.

You know, we're lucky that way.

- All right.
- Yeah, even luckier,

we get to do it together.

- Chaos and all.
- (knocking at door)

Please tell me it's not : .

Pretty sure it's : .

(sighs) I'm gonna be late for work.

- Mm-hmm. Mwah.
- (knocking)

- (exhales)
- Okay, come on, go.

Okay, , let's gather 'round
and settle in.

We have some outstanding tasks
from our last shift,

and I've got an important announcement

about our upcoming weather conditions.

CHIMNEY: So cute, huh?

Oh, wait. I promised her
I'd wear it all day.

- Take a picture so we can...
- Firefighter Han.

I was gonna save this
until the end, but why not make it

the first order of business?
Congratulations

on popping the question.

- (applause)
- WOMAN: Yeah.

She finally made an honest man
out of him!

BOBBY: All right,
everybody, let's settle down.

We still have to get
to that weather update.

All right, apparatus maintenance.

Firefighter Diaz will be
running point this morning

on engine service.
We'll be doing an oil change

and a brake fluid change. Eddie?

- Yeah, Cap?
- Apparatus maintenance?

- I'm on it, Cap.
- Okay.

All right, now for that weather update.

Uh, hey, listen, I-I can't...
I can't talk right now.

No, I can't.

Kameron, I don't know why
he's calling you.

Maybe if you answer the phone,
you'll find...

Um, I got to go.

Uh, s-sor... sorry, Cap. Um...

- All right, folks, listen up.
- Uh, Cap?

Can I just say, if Buck needs
to get the pregnant lady out

of his apartment,
I do have a two-bedroom

that's about to be on the market, so...

- (laughter)
- BOBBY: Thank you, Ravi.

Maybe a discussion for another time.

, it's time to dial it in.

We have a job to do, but in
order to do that job, you have

to be here.
I need precision, I need focus.

But most of all,
I need you to be present.

- Sorry I'm late, Cap.
- Okay. Let's get cracking.

Hey, wait. What's the important
weather update?

There's a moderate marine layer.

♪ ♪

Excuse me. Can I get a refill
on the coffee?

Extra hot.

(phone chiming)

On second thought,
could I get that to go?

- (entry bell jingles)
- WOMAN: Well, come in.

COACH: All right, listen up.

We got us a big game today.

Now I know they b*at us last time,

but we've been practicing,
all right? Now let's fuel up.

Heart of a champion starts
with breakfast of champions.

Hey, save it for the court.

What can I get for you?

I'm picking up
a morning delight sandwich

and a medium coffee for Jeff.
Hey, you know what?

I'll cover whatever they order, too.

- Okay.
- Keep the change.

Hi there. Um, and what's the damage?

Oh, it's okay, sir.
The previous customer

- already paid for your total.
- Wow. Tell you what.

I'll take care of her order,
too. I'll pay it forward.

Maybe we'll start a trend, right?

MALLORY (chuckling): That's
a lot of campsites we're going to.

Oh, slow down, Jo.

There's construction coming up.
Did you not see the sign?

Jo?

Oh, Jo.

Oh, Jo, it's not a big deal.

(crying): I'm fine. I'm sorry.

I just still can't believe that
you're doing all this for me.

Oh, Josephine, please.
You know how much I loved your mother.

And these road trips were your thing.

I'm just trying to carry on tradition.

Yeah. I just don't know
how I'm gonna repay you.

Well, you don't need to. Ever.

Least I can do is visit
a few national parks with you.

Thank you.

Now, I am not
the expert camper like you,

but I do know
how to make a proper espresso.

- I'm gonna get you another one.
- Oh, uh,

you really shouldn't be
moving around while I'm driving.


Oh, it's okay.
As long as you're not trying

to win the Grand Prix.

(both laugh)

Oh, well, I just might.

- (Jo gasps)
- (tires squealing)

- (Jo screaming)
- (tires squealing)

(Jo whimpers)

(Jo exhaling)

- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah, okay.

Yeah.

- (tires screeching)
- Jo!

(horn blaring)

- (alarm ringing)
- BOBBY: Let's go, let's go, let's go!

(horn honking)

(sirens wailing)

RADIO NEWSMAN:
Attention, all L.A. drivers.


We have just received reports
of a traffic accident


on the bridge
leading to the interchange.


Please use caution
and avoid the area if possible.


(horns honking and tooting)

(siren wailing)

(horn honking)

Hen, Chim,
check the driver of this camper van.

- Copy that.
- BOBBY: Buck,

Eddie, Ravi, I want you guys

to check these surrounding
vehicles for injuries.

- Let's go.
- (Jo yells)

Sir, are you doing okay? You sure?

Help! Help us! Help!

Us? Who else is in there?

Mallory. She was in the back
when we got hit.

She's not moving.

Cap, second victim in the back.

She didn't have her seatbelt on
when the accident happened.

Okay, these back doors are obliterated.

I want you guys to pull that windshield.

JO: Yeah. (whimpers)

- CHIMNEY: Almost there, ma'am.
- (Jo cries)

All right, what's your name?

- Jo.
- Jo, can-can you move?

Um, I don't know. It's my leg.
I think it's broken.

- Um, please help her.
- CHIMNEY: I'm on it, Jo, but

I need to get back there,
so we're gonna pull you out.

- You might feel a little pain, okay?
- Okay.

Okay. (cries out)

(crying)

Mallory, can you hear me?

Cap, we're going
to need an air ambulance.

Patient is unresponsive,
breathing is weak,

and she lost bladder control.

- Could be a spinal.
- BOBBY: Copy that.


Spinal injury? Is she okay?

We won't know until we get her
to the hospital.

Please, please don't take me
now because I need to see her.

Hey, hey. You'll be able to
before they airlift her.

I promise, okay?

Chim, here's the backboard.
Air bus is en route.

Copy that.

Come on, wake up for us. Come on!

Come on, Mallory! Wake up!
Can you hear me?

- There you go. There you are.
- Jo. Where's Jo? Where's Jo?

Your daughter's gonna be fine.
How are you feeling?

- I don't know.
- Okay.

- Get this collar on her.
- Can you move your arms?

That's good!

Can you wiggle your toes for me?

Movement in your upper extremities.

- That's a great sign.
- This is bad, isn't it?

Spinal misalignment happens
in crashes like this.

And the effects are often
temporary, okay?

Just got to stay positive, okay?

- CHIMNEY: Your daughter's outside.
- She's not my daughter.

Jo's mother was my best friend,

and we were taking a trip to honor her.

Well, at least you're doing it in style.

I love this rig.

She saved me so many times,

and I wanted to do the same
for her little girl.

- But look what I've done now.
- CHIMNEY: Hey,

Mallory, it's not your fault, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

- One, two, three.
- Nice and easy, all right?

Hey, looks like we're getting
you an upgrade, too.

We got you into first class.

Okay, Kinard, Shore, let's get
these cars moved back feet,

- feet of clearance.
- Move back!

Back it up!

CHIMNEY: She's right up here.

- Okay? She's right up here.
- JO: Mallory!

I'm so sorry.

I can't lose you, too.

I'm not going anywhere.

We still have a lot of ground
to cover, okay?

Next time, we'll take the train.

Air support, you are clear to land.

BUCK: Possible spinal!
She's coming over now.

Can't get rid of me, can you, Buckley?

Great to see you again,
for real this time.

CHIMNEY: Hey, Lucy,
take good care of her, huh?

Will do!

Hey, congrats on the engagement!

Good news travels fast!

Thanks, L.D.!

EDDIE: Hey, Cap, think
there's a propane stove

in the van. I'm gonna go check it out.

Good thinking, Eddie.

- MAN: Get out of the way!

MAN: Stop!

So outdoors.

Beach, mountain.

- Boat.
- Ew. Definitely not boat.

Mm. Indoor.

Uh, ballroom. Loft. Rooftop.

Why is it that every time

you mention a potential wedding venue,
all I can think is

the potential emergencies
that could ensue?

- Not weird, just our life.
- (laughs)

(two beeps)

LUCY: Mayday, mayday, mayday.

(grunting) Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. (groans)

In that bag...
I need you to look inside.

There's a cushy plastic package,
that's trauma dressing.

Get me one, please.

Hand it to me. Give it here.

There's a little drawer
on the side of the bench.

This is Sergeant Athena Gran.


Wait, wait, wait, wait.

To anyone on scene,

I have Captain Nash of the
and a civilian.

We're trapped in the container

He's pinned. We're in need of an assist

- BUCK: Hey.
- HEN: No, no, no.

- BUCK (muffled): Cap!
- Athena...

Don't speak, just breathe.

Cap!

EDDIE: Hen, the door is
completely blocked by debris.

Dispatch? Dispatch,
we're gonna need heavy rescue

on the lower level of the interchange.

There's no way we're going to be
able to move all this debris.


Josh? Our records show

that DWP expansion project
running all the way

to the interchange. I need
the job site work logs now.

Do you think some of the workers
might've been injured

- in the collapse?
- No. I'm sending up a flare.

This is Los Angeles City Services.

We need your help on scene.

MADDIE: , be advised.

Caltrans crew is on site,
prepared to assist.

I'm on my way

I'm on.

♪ ♪

Hen, I am fine.
I just need to catch my breath.

You don't have
any other pain in your torso?

No, just a little
in the shoulder and right ankle.

Sounds like someone tripped
over their pride.

Oh, he is damn lucky is what he is.

- It wasn't luck. It was you.
- Wasn't me.

I had some help.

Where is that kid?

Hey, come here!

You saved my husband's life. I'm Athena.

This is Bobby.

BOBBY: Get him out of here.

Are you ready, Jeff?

If things go wrong,
leave me and save yourself.

This is my choice to try this.

All four of us are getting out of here.

Jeff Pickens.
Just doing what I can, sir.

I appreciate it.

Y'all have a good one.

We've got an abdominal puncture wound,

seems to have missed his major organs.

Already pushed two milligrams
of morphine.

More like four.

I was sideways,
it was hard to keep track.

This one's got a couple of broken ribs,

refused to take anything for the pain.

- EDDIE: I'm fine.
- No, you're not.

Captain has a probable AC joint sprain,

over a dozen lacerations and
too many bone bruises to count.

Aside from that, he's in one piece.

BUCK: Gonna take more than
a couple tons of asphalt

and a semi to take Cap down.

Thanks to you guys and LAPD's finest.

Just another day on the job.

Ooh.

- I'm definitely gonna need a CT scan.
- All right.

(echoing): Doctor.

Oh...

(indistinct P.A. announcemen)

Chim?

Hey.

- Hi.
- Don't worry,

it's worse than it looks. (chuckles)

Oh, I'm fine.

Good. 'Cause you're not getting out of

marrying me that easy.

Oh.

Honey...

I love you.

Love you, too.

And you're not gonna be
working in the office.

You're gonna have to work
around the house.

- (laughs) Right.
- Take care.

So that's everyone?

Yep. All the ers have been
released and sent home,

except for ours.

Doctors think that they can
release Bobby tonight, though.

And you?

We have one more scan.
If it's clear, then tomorrow morning.

You can guess how he took that news.

Bobby tried to roll himself
into the elevator

- when I wasn't looking.
- (Maddie laughs)

You know, they spend all of their time

with the sick and injured, and yet...

They are the worst patients.

It still doesn't seem real.

That it happened,

- or that anyone survived it?
- Both.

And they all can't wait
to get back out there again.

It takes a special kind of crazy
to want to live this life.

(laughs)

Oh, by the way,

congratulations on your engagement.

Thanks.

BUCK: Uh, hey, you... you doing okay?

That's the fourth time
you've gone in the last hour.

Well, I have a whole human
leaning on my bladder,

so the struggle is real.

Ow.

- Ow? What was that?
- Um,

I Don't know. Ow, ow,

- ow, ow, ow, ow...
- Uh, was it...

was it a contraction?

Uh, I think so.

Um, I don't know.
I-I felt something earlier,

but it didn't feel like this, you know.

It wasn't that stro... Oh, my God!

Uh, okay, why don't
we have you sit down?

- I'm gonna call your doctor.
- I'm in labor.

- You-you don't know that.
- (liquid trickling)

My water just broke. Something's wrong.

This is too early. This is too early.

Um, okay, it is early, yes,
but it's-it's not too early.

- Sit you down, okay?
- Okay.

Let's focus on our breathing.

In...

(both inhale)

- (pained groans)
- You got it, you're a pro.

Come on, it's okay.
Let's-let's lay down.

Go on. I got you.

- Nice and easy. Nice and easy.
- Okay.

Okay, just keep
that breathing going. In.

There you go. You're doing great.

- (groaning)
- Just breathe.

Uh, you know, I'm gonna call
the paramedics. It's just in case.

Uh, you're doing good.
You're doing great.

- Don't panic.
- (Line ringing)

I'm at Grand Street.

I have a woman in premature
labor; it's coming on fast.

- (pained cry)
- Close. Minutes.

Uh, hey, hey, just stay calm.
Paramedics are on their way.

I'm gonna grab some towels and hot water

just in case. You're doing great.

Buck! (exhales)

Hurry up.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

(groans)

- WOMAN: Hello?
- Wow, that was fast.

- She's-she's on the couch.
- WOMAN: Who?

Natalia.

- Uh, hi.
- KAMERON: Buck!

- What-what is happening?
- BUCK: I-I...

I need your help. Come on. This way.

Uh, Natalia, you remember
Kameron. She's in labor.

I need you to stay on with

while I check to see how much
she's dilated.

- KAMERON: Hi.
- Here you go.

Hi. Oh...

Sh-Shouldn't we leave that
to the professionals?

Yeah. I am a professional.

Uh, also, grab me the towels
from the table.

(groans)

Okay, wait. Um, hello? ?

Okay, you tell them
she's at nine centimeters.

This baby is not waiting.

NATALIA: Nine centimeters.
The baby is not waiting.

- I can't. I can't.
- Hey, hey, hey, Kam.

You're strong and you can do this.

I'm gonna need you to push,
okay? Come on, let's go.

There you go.

Okay, Kam. On her head.

There you go, that's great.
That's great.

- (sustained pained cries)
- There you go. I know. I know.

I think this baby might be here
before the paramedics.

Keep on pushing.
We're gonna go again, okay?

Come on, you can do this.

- KAMERON: Okay.
- Hey, hey, we're right here with you.

You got this. Come on, Kameron.

Come on, come on.
That's it, I can see a head.

I can see the head. We're almost there.

- We're almost there.
- I totally screwed this up.

Connor should be here. I need to wait.

- Is that an option?
- (Kameron crying out)

Uh, no, no, no, it's n...
it's not. Uh...

we're gonna call him after.
Right now, we just need to focus.

Okay? We need to keep on pushing.

Natalia, I need you to get scissors

- and something to clamp the cord.
- Scissors. Okay.

In the kitchen. Go right now, right now.

Come on. You're doing great.
This is gonna be the one.

I can feel it. Come on, Kameron.
Come on, Kameron.

Come on, push. Everything you got.

Come on, come on. Keep it going.

That's it, that's it, that's it,
come on, come on, come on.

(pained cry)

You did it. You did it. (laughs, pants)

- (baby cries)
- It's a boy.

KAMERON: Is he okay?

(crying)

He's perfect.

And, uh, he's all yours.

Hi.

- Oh.
- (baby crying)

(Kameron shushing)

Hi.

CONNOR: Oh, my God.

It's real.

It sure is. And it's gonna be great.

Okay. (chuckles)

Thank you.

I'll never be able to repay you.

You don't have to repay me.

Just have to love that kid.

That's enough.

Yeah.

So everyone's okay?

Uh... yeah, he's...

he's all good. They should be able to

take him home within a few weeks, if...
if not sooner.

It's weird.

I've been there at the end of life

so many times, but never the beginning.

Yeah. So what'd you think?

That the beginning was way
messier than the end.

Yes, it, uh, it can be.

Are you okay?

I saw the way you looked at that baby,

and then watched you give him away.

I mean, that was always the deal.

NATALIA: Hmm.

And I still don't understand
why you did that for them.

Because I could.

(Buck chuckles)

Wait a minute.

- You came over tonight.
- (laughs)

I thought you weren't speaking to me.

I came over to apologize

and to say that I may have overreacted

when I accused you of having
a very complicated life.

And then you walked in on a...

a woman giving birth on my couch.

I like you, Buck.

And I'm sorry I ran off.

I like you, Natalia.

- And I'm glad you came back.
- Mm.

- Welcome back.
- Thanks, Ravi.

- Where is everybody?
- Uh, upstairs.

Cap's got us doing something new.

BOBBY: Nice of you to
join us, Firefighter Han.

Take a seat.

Meditation?

This is new.

All right, let's clear our minds.

What we do here is
as important as any call,

because it keeps us
from becoming the emergency.

So let's close our eyes,

focus in on our breathing.

We can let go of past traumas.

Can let go of future expectations,

and allow opportunity to find us.

CHIMNEY: If we put it here, it's
gonna take up
so much space.

That we could probably use for seating.

Oh, what if we did it on the patio?

Great idea.

Ceremony in the living room,

cocktail hour on the veranda.

I like the sound of that.
A wedding at home.

Me, too.

(Maddie laughs)

Mmm. I love you.

I love you.

CHRISTOPHER: Just call her.

You can do it, Dad.

(line ringing)

MARISOL: Hello?

Hey, uh, it's Eddie
from the hardware store.

Hey, Eddie from the hardware store.

(laughs) What's up?

What's so funny?

Um, the hardware store,

it wasn't actually
the first time we met.

It's weird that that's your lead.

Okay, uh, so if you were calling me,

then what's your opening?

No idea. (laughs)

I guess that's why
I've been sitting here


staring at your number
for the last two hours.

Two hou... Two hours?

I was afraid it would be awkward.

Well, I'm-I'm glad
I could fix that for you.

Me, too.

So, what are you doing tomorrow night?

I thought maybe we could go out.

Uh, y...

You mean... (clears throat)

- ...like on a date?
- Mm-hmm.

- How is he so bad at this?
- Uh, yeah.

KAREN: No, we're just surprised.
We weren't expecting this.


We can be there tomorrow.

At your office?

Okay, we'll see you then.
Thanks, Deirdre.

(exhales)

- So this is real?
- It is very real.

Uh, baby girl.

Her grandmother was
supposed to take her,

but changed her mind.

- She's in her s, so...
- So...

we take her in
for a few months, and then...

If the grandmother
doesn't change her mind...

- We get to adopt her.
- (exhales)

(exhales)

I'd kind of given up on the idea

- of this ever happening.
- Me, too.

Oh! It's a, it's a little girl.

Wh-What do you think?

I swear that I will support
your decision no matter...

- Hell yes!
- Yes?

- Absolutely.
- (exhales)

Here's to more chaos

and more love.

(laughing and crying)

BUCK: So there's nothing you can do?

CLEANER: We can carry it
to the curb for you.


BUCK: Yeah, sure.
Thank you.

Sorry for your loss, man.

Help me to name it...

- Hi.
- Hi.

So what do you want to do today?

Well, I had a few ideas.

You want to help me pick out
a new couch?

Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

(both chuckle)

- That's a good idea.
- Mm.

(sighs)

BOBBY: And now, whenever you're ready,

take one last breath.

(exhales)

(alarm ringing)

Let's go.

I can't believe we're doing this.

Well, last-minute cancellation.

How could we pass up this opportunity?

Ooh, and we didn't tell
anyone that we're going.

Well, we'll call 'em when we get there.

- Ah! Or maybe not.
- (laughs)

(Bobby laughs)
