Oh, what's going on over there?

- You seeing someone, Montgomery?
- No. No, no, no.

Liar. Okay, everyone.

We have minutes, minutes left.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I just wanna say thank you
for doing this for Theo.

As... crazy as he makes
me, I really believe

- he's trying his best, so...
- Oh, of course.

He deserves it. I know
he's been stressed out

with taking over the house,

so I just want him to know
we're all in it with him.

It's gonna mean a lot to
him, and he has no idea, so...

- You know I love a surprise.
- Mm-hmm.

Ugh, Kline!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

I did not undermine you.

You were second-guessing
every decision I made.

I was giving you information.

No, you were questioning
me in front of the team.

It's dangerous, and it stops now.

He's under a lot of pressure.

Yeah. Now I wish we weren't
having this stupid dinner.

Looks like you got your wish.

Oh, my God.

- What happened?
- I... I forgot...

the food was out,
and... I don't know.

- I guess somebody left a burner on.
- Are you kidding me?

Are you telling me
one of my firefighters

left the stove on? What is this, a joke?

Another one of your pranks?

Yeah, it's a prank. We
thought it'd be hilarious

to flood the Beanery and ruin dinner.

Did you do this?

Why the hell would I do this?

What... do you really think I
would intentionally waste...

Okay, okay, okay. I'm
sure it was an accident.

Are you? 'Cause this seems

like exactly the kind
of thing one would do

to make a new captain look incompetent.

- Come on.
- Okay, that's ridiculous.

Whoa, hey listen, Ruiz...

No, it's captain.

Captain Ruiz, accidents
happen, all right?

This was an accident.

Clean this up.

Then we're running drills.
Obviously, we need it.

I will go... talk to him.

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- What?

- I don't wanna talk about it.
- Okay, but you know that...

That was a lot.

Yeah, well, now I gotta file
a report with FD that I can't keep

my own freaking station safe.

I mean, they made me look like...

[SIGHS] An idiot.

No, I'm telling you.

- Herrera's pissed I got this job.
- Oh, my God.

No, she thinks this is her house,

and no one else should
run it except her.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You know that's not...

That is not who she is.

Don't, okay? I mean it.
I'm... I'm not in the mood.

You seriously forgot the food was out?

Yeah.

Sorry.

You know, you're not gonna
make yourself very popular

if you don't let people eat, Captain.

Fine.

- But we're running drills next shift.
- Great.

Hey. Andy told me you were here.

Um, so I'm here for our first date.

Oh, right.

I am so glad that we're
finally getting to do this.

It's um... it's Karen, right, DeLinka?

Mmm, right, right.

Can you just... can

Sure.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me give you a tour, Dr. DeLuca.

Have you ever been
to a firehouse before?

I don't think so.

Well, this is our lounge.

We've got rice.

We've got some chicken
broth and some asparagus

that isn't ruined,
so what about risotto?

Well, obviously.

Well, um, the good news
is, he said we could eat.

And the bad news is,

It's okay. It's okay.

Well, I told Eli that I didn't
wanna see him again.

What?

And then I couldn't
stop thinking about him,

- so I sent him a text...
- Okay.

Telling him I changed my mind,
and I would like another date.

- Uh-huh?

Oh yeah, Dr. uh, DeLuca.
I am Dr. Hughes.

And what kind of

Well, I...

Thank you for the cannolis, Dr. DeLuca.

We've had a little change in menu,

but they'll go perfectly with dinner.

- Great.

- So this is a first date?

Yeah, yeah. We're taking it
slow, rebuilding the foundation.

Nice. I like it.

- It's weird as hell, but I like it.
- Okay. Okay.

I'll be there as soon as I can.
Just keep breathing.

Who's on aid car duty tonight?

- Me and Warren.
- Okay. Come with me, quick.

Damn, that's some first date.

- I've had worse.
- [LAUGHS]

A guy put that on my
windshield the other night.

- Hey, Carina.
- Yeah?

- Have you seen this?
- Of course I have.

They're all over the hospital.

Then can you please
help me convince my wife

- that we need to do something?
- We're not closing the clinic.

I'm not asking you
to close the clinic.

I'm just saying you
need stronger security.

- Ben, I know you're worried...
- He's not the only one.

I know you're
both worried, but...

What is the harm in hiring
some armed guards, you know?

They have them at the fake clinic.

And how did that make you feel,

seeing those big men walk in with g*ns?

Did it make you feel safer?

Because I certainly did not.

It made me feel like I was in danger,

and that's the last
thing that women that come

to our clinic need.

We've been doxxed, all right?
My wife, my family.

I am just... afraid some
lunatic is gonna show up.

We're all afraid of that, Ben.

We're afraid all the
time, but the answer

to... to anything in this country

is not more g*ns.

[LIGHT MUSIC]

- Oh.
- Hi.

Thank God. Follow me.

- She's right down here.
- Okay.

We were going over
some research, said

she was feeling uncomfortable

and she needed to go for a walk,

but she never came back.

So finally, I went to look for her,
and I found her like

- ...this, stranded on her back
- Oh wow.

like an Armadillidium
vulgare, having contractions.

Devon, please do not refer
to me as a roly poly bug.

- I am your boss.
- Oh.

- Hi, Carina.
- Hey.

- Thanks for coming.
- Yeah.

I, uh, seem to have gotten myself

in a bit of a pickle here.

Now, make sure these
are well lubricated.

Hit every single rail on both sections.

And make sure the rungs are % clean.

Yes, sir. Safety first.
Man, he's not in a good place.

Yeah.

So I heard you're way up in the polls.
That's great, Montgomery.

Yeah. Turns out I'm
capable of a lot more

than I gave myself credit for.

Sometimes you just need
an Eli to believe in you.

Yeah, well...

- What?
- Nothing, nothing.

I hope you win, I do.

The ironic thing is that sometimes,

even when you're prepared and qualified,

you still don't get the job you deserve.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

[UNEASY MUSIC]

_

Oh, God.

I've been so uncomfortable all day,

and I thought about how
you told me that night

that we went out for drinks

that moving around can really help,

so I took a walk.

So dispatch called the
vending machine company,

and they're estimating that it'll be

several hours before they can get

somebody out here with a key.
- [GROANS]

So I walked past the vending machine,

and I saw the doughnuts
just kind of wedged

up against the glass.

I guess someone bought
them, and they got stuck.

Anyway, I, uh, I, thought, "Doughnuts.

"I need doughnuts.

The baby wants doughnuts."

This baby loves sugar so much,

I'm starting to think
you're giving birth

to a saw-toothed grain beetle.

Yeah, that's...

So I shook the machine,
and they came down a little,

and I thought, "I can...
I can reach those."

[GROANS] So I... [GROANS]

- Is she... is she gonna be okay?
- She's gonna be okay.

Pam, can you lay back for me?

Thank you. Okay.

How far apart are your contractions?

Uh, the last ones were approximately

five minutes, seven seconds apart.

Approximately?

Hey, I'm a scientist. Precision matters.

Wait. Aren't you... Did I
meet you at the clinic that day?

Um, yes. As a matter of fact, you did.

Pam, you're in
labor, but don't worry.

We're gonna get your
hand free and get you over

- to Grey Sloan as soon as we can.
- Please, God.

My arm is really starting to ache.

Oh, the only good thing
about these contractions

is they make me forget
how uncomfortable this is

and how mortifying.

Let's get lubricant on her arm.
Maybe we can slide it out.

Okay, her water is already broken,

so we need to get her out of here ASAP.

All right, let's get it.

[SIGHS]

Oh, easy. Easy there, tiger.

- You okay?
- I just...

[SIGHS] if I had known this was what

Theo was gonna be like as captain,

I would have taken the job myself.

- Chief Ross offered you the job?
- Don't repeat that...

- Okay.
- Please.

- So why didn't you take it?
- Because I am more than a babysitter

while Beckett's in rehab.

And honestly, I was sure
she was gonna give it to Sullivan,

which felt like a win-win.

So why didn't she?

Give the job to Sullivan?
I mean, he's got seniority.

He's been in a lot longer.

Why didn't she?

I have no idea.

So if this won't stop beeping...

- [ALARM BEEPS]
- It's probably the battery.

So in any case, this thing
is about as old as I am,

so I'm gonna get you guys a new one.

Hi. Sorry. Hi, Chief. Do
you need something?

Uh, yeah. I'm just... I'm
looking for Captain Ruiz.

Oh, yep, he's right...
Right in there, in his office.

Good. Thank you.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Come in.

Um, anyway, uh, if you
guys will just take a seat,

I will grab a new one,
and you can take it home

with you right now, okay?

What's up?

What's going on in there?

- [POPS LIPS]
- I don't know.

- What is going on with you?
- What? Nothing.

Well, I just... I got
a message from Eli

- saying that he wants to talk.
- Oh, so something bad?

- Something about the campaign?
- We slept together.

Hello.

[WHISPERING] We slept
together, the other night,

- after the town hall.
- Wow.

I know. I know.

- Did you know...
- Oh, my God.

He's gonna think that
I'm waiting for him.

- I'm gonna be upstairs.
- I don't think...

- But you don't know that.
- Okay.

You don't know anything.
You don't know where I am.

- I don't know anything.
- I was never here.

You don't know where I am.

[ALARM BEEPS]

Ow, that really hurts.

Oh, and here I thought we were friends.

How's your arm, Pam?
Can you wiggle your fingers?

Yeah. It's okay, I guess.

- It's just going a little numb.
- Guys, just one second.

So she's dilated and effaced.

The baby's on the way. How much longer?

Look, we're trying everything we can,
but I'm worried about that arm.

- She's losing blood flow.
- Okay.

Even so, I think we need to
prepare for the possibility

that we're gonna have to deliver here.

Yeah, let me get the pry bar
while you keep working on that arm.

So you... you know this woman?

- You had drinks together?
- Uh, she's a patient.

- And?
- A friend.

I know all your friends, Carina.

- [PAM MOANS]
- Uh, doc.

- Yeah.
- Oh, there's another one.

[SCREAMS]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

- Really?
- Chief.

Lieutenant.

So I just got a call from
Chief Dearborn in Spokane,

looking to vet one of my firefighters

who had applied for the position

of battalion chief,

one Lieutenant Robert Sullivan.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Sully, are you leaving ?

♪ ♪

Yes, I applied for the battalion
chief position in Spokane.

Can I ask why?

Well, since there aren't
any opportunities for me

to advance here in Seattle,
I decided to seek them elsewhere.

Were you planning on telling me?

Seeing as you didn't
feel the need to tell me

that you were planning
on making Ruiz captain,

I assumed we weren't speaking
about work stuff anymore.

Sullivan, dinner . is...

coming along shortly.

Yeah, I can approve
more funds for SCBAs.

- That's no problem.
- Thanks, Chief.

That'll help.

You got it. Gibson.

Chief Ross, would you
like to join us for dinner?

I'd like that very much, Gibson.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

All right.

All right. Okay.

- See you there.
- Yeah.

- I got work to finish.
- Sully?

Hughes.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

Are you okay?

Hey.

- What's going on with you today?
- Yeah, nothing.

No, I'm fine.

- It's just one of those days, I guess.
- Okay.

I just... I just saw
Sullivan and Chief Ross

talking in the turnout
room, all quiet and hush.

Okay.

Do you think FD's planning
another round of closures

- and layoffs, maybe?
- I... I don't know.

Why would she be talking
to Sullivan about it?

- Exactly.
- Hey.

You guys are like paramedics, right?

- Yeah.
- Our buddy Will here's

- not feeling so good.
- Yeah, of course. Come on in.

- Come on in, Will. What's going on?
- I just... my stomach, it's...

[VOMITS]

- Oh. Oh.
- Whoa.

- Sorry.

- Damn.
- Sorry.

- I got him.
- Yeah, no.

Let's go around that.

And then you just...
Yeah, follow me.

Do you need, like, a mop? No? Okay.

Just that way. Oop, watch the door.

- [SIGHS] God.
- Heyo.

Jesus.

No.

[GRUNTS] It's not budging.

Pam, how's your arm?
Did that hurt at all?

I... I can't really feel it anymore.

Sorry.

What took you so long?

A guard stopped me at the door.

I uh... I had to
talk my way back in.

There's tighter security here at
this college than at your clinic.

Warren, do you remember this woman?
Did she, uh, come to the clinic?

What happened?

She came to see Dr. DeLuca,
and I checked her in.

- That's it?
- Yeah.

- [MOANS]
- Oh, the arm.

Yeah, we're doing everything we can.

No, this arm, the baby's arm.

There's an arm?

Devon. What does that mean?

It means the baby must
have changed position.

That's not good, right? That's bad.

Not necessarily, but I
need to make sure the baby's

- in proper presentation.
- Proper?

I just need to be sure
the baby's head and arm

are parallel, working
their way into the canal.

And if they're not?

We're gonna have to
change the baby's position,

or he could get trapped.

So Will, uh, you been drinking?

No?

Have you eaten anything suspicious,

like undercooked
chicken, Maya's lasagna?

Wow.

How about you guys?
You know anything?

Has he eaten anything
or ingested anything?

Inhaled anything?

- Have you been drinking?
- You just asked him that.

[SCOFFS]

It could be appendicitis.

Okay.

I'm gonna press on your appendix,

and if it's ruptured, this
is not gonna be fun, okay?

It's okay. Let me just... nothing?

Hey, come on, guys.
What... what is going on?

Nothing, dude.

Dude? Nothing? Your friend's
really sick. You understand?

If there's something going on
with him, we need to know now.

What do you want me to say?
I... I don't know anything.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [VOMITS]

- [VOMITS]
- No, don't...

- [RETCHING]
- Okay, what the hell is going on?

What did you guys take?

- Hey.
- Hi.

Andy, Travis.

- Uh, you know Robel Osman.
- Yes, of course.

Nice to see you again, Council-member.

He has something he'd
like to discuss with you.

Look, all the polling
is saying the same thing.

You and I are splitting
the progressive vote.

And if turnout isn't
great on election day,

Dixon could sneak
through and grab the win.

So if you can provide me a
few assurances about policy,

budgetary priorities,
that sort of thing,

I'm gonna drop out and endorse you.

Congratulations, Mr. Montgomery.

You're about to be the
next mayor of Seattle.

Okay, you guys are
giving me a headache.

You can hold out all you want,
but if you wanna get better,

you gotta come clean.

- [VOMITS]
- Okay, yep. That's it.

That's it. Just get it all out.

It's all gonna come out anyway.
There's no reason to fight it.

Okay, look, you guys are all very sick,

and we need to know what caused this.
So did you take any dr*gs?

- [VOMITS]
- All right. You know what?

We're just gonna get
them all in ambulances

and then call their parents, right?

- Right.
- Just tell them, Kyle.

- Tim, shut up.
- Stop trying to cover your ass.

- Just tell them.
- Tell me what?

[GROANS]

Oh, you guys ate these?

The hottest chip in the world?

Just one.

It was covered in this.

It's one of those stupid challenges.

Eat one chip smothered
in super spicy hot sauce,

then wait an hour
without any food or water.

- How long you last?
- Like minutes.

I almost made it the whole hour.

- [VOMITS]
- Yeah, you win, Kyle. Congrats.

Thanks a lot for making
us do it in the first place.

- I didn't make you...
- Yes, you did.

You always do.

You're more toxic than those chips are.

See, I told you it
was all gonna come out.

Okay. [GROANS]

- I don't feel so well myself.
- Did you eat a chip?

- No, I didn't eat a chip.
- Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Captain!
Captain Ruiz, we need you!

Oh.

Okay, yeah, have you...
Have you talked yet?

He has been all business.

Okay. You know what I was thinking?

I was just, like... I was just thinking,

maybe he's a little too slick for you.

- What?
- Like...

Just, like, I always
pictured you with somebody

more, like, flannel, like, outdoorsy,
rough and tumble, not so much

Wait, I thought you wanted
me to keep the rom-com alive.

Well, that was very selfish... of me.

- What's for dinner?
- Risotto.

No.

Ready?

- How long until that arm is free?
- Which one?

Oh, this thing is like a bank vault.

We're gonna need the angle grinder.

I'll call the station,
have them bring one over.

Okay. Pam, unfortunately,

the baby is not even in
a compound presentation.

He is transverse, with his arm out
to the side and the head higher up.

Oh, my God.

The good news is
that he must have gotten

annoyed at the exam, and
he pulled his arm back.

I guess he was just waving hello,

but now I can perform a
version where I can manually

manipulate the position of the baby

so the head lines up with the canal.

- You can do that?
- Yes, but it's gonna hurt.

- [CRYING] I don't think I can, Carina.
- No, Pam...

- I don't think I can take anymore.
- Pam, you can do this.

I know you. I know how strong you are.

I know how much you want this baby.

You can do this because you have to.

You're an Onthophagus taurus, Pam.

- You've got this.
- Stop comparing me to bugs,

no matter how strong they are,
especially the dung beetles.

Put this on.

Let's keep breathing.

- Okay. You ready?
- Devon, hold my hand.

[GROANS]

[YELLS]

So stay away from the
hard stuff, all right?

And get some bread in
your stomachs. It'll help.

Why do you always have to do that?

- What? Don't look at me.

that I got passed over for captain.

Do you really not get why?

Well, I thought the idea was
to keep our relationship quiet

so it wouldn't affect our careers.

I guess that only
applies to your career,

because mine is now on hold.

- [SCOFFS]
- What?

No, no. I just... wow.

It wasn't that long ago
that you were giving me

that whole w*r wife speech,
saying that you would wait

years if you had to.

- And wow, you barely made it days.
- Would you?

I know it's not equal right now.

I know it's not fair, but
relationships are like that

sometimes, all right?

I thought you were okay with
it being my time right now.

- God, I guess not.
- Wait here.

- Okay, we're good. He's in position.
- Oh, thank God.

- Now you just have to have a baby.
- Devon!

Where the hell is that angle grinder?

She's gonna lose that arm
if we don't get it out of there now.

Okay, I... I need to
lift Pam off the floor

so gravity can help.

Oh, Devon, get on all
fours and get under her.

No, no. Dr. DeLuca,
I think that qualifies

as workplace harassment. Let me.

I mean, I was gonna do it.

- Then I was gonna sue, but...
- Come here. Help.

- Hold this leg.
- Angle grinder.

- Let's go.
- How can I help?

Brace this leg.

I got it.

Look, Council-member, I
don't think I'll be able

to guarantee you everything
that you're asking for.

Travis, these are all
very reasonable requests.

Oh, I agree, which is why
I'd like to ask Mr. Osman

to make me some guarantees.

I'm already conceding
the race to you.

- What if you didn't?
- Travis...

What if I concede the race to you?

Travis, uh, can I... can
I speak to you over here

- for a second, please just...
- No.

If I don't say this now,
I won't say it at all.

Robel, you're the better candidate.

- Travis!
- Let him talk.

You have dedicated your
life to understanding things

that I'm just now beginning to learn.

And while we're both public servants

and I think we both truly
want what's best for the city,

I think we both know
what or who that is.

He's... he's emotional. We
just need a timeout here.

So I'd like your
commitment to protect

the Crisis One Program,

to increase the FD
budget by at least %,

and to secure a liaison
with the LGBTQIA community.

Also, please give Eli a job.

If you can make me all those guarantees,

not only will I endorse you,
but I'll campaign for you,

put my full weight behind you.

You have my word.

Thank you, Mr. Montgomery.

You're a good man.

Seattle could use more people like you.

I'll be in touch.
