Well, what the hell's wrong with Duke?
I don't know, he's just
been acting spooky lately.
Well, not with me he hasn't.
What'd you do, piss in his oats?

Sam in the stands, did you?
No. But you know what?
Maybe I missed her.
Yeah.
Hey, Donnie.
What got into Duke tonight
tossing you off
in front of all your people like that?
Well, it ain't his fault.
He, uh, got a saddle sore yesterday
- rubbing him raw.
- [BLYTHE HART] Oh, okay.
Well, you gonna give your wife
a kiss or what, Captain?
You do not want a kiss
from me right now, Blythe.
- Really?
- You liable to get some muck
all over your, uh, Luby Vee-tans.
Oh, well, don't worry about it,
'cause there's no greater aphrodisiac.
Than the smell of horse crap?
- Than the smell of your horse crap.

But there was one gal, Bonnie Kessler.
Good written score, solid ladder work.
[VOICE MUFFLES]
She did so-so with tools,
but you can fix that.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
Okay. Send his, uh,
résumé over to my desk.
His?
Her name's Bonnie Dad.
Where's your head at, old man?
What the hell's been eating you lately?
- Nothing eating me.
- [RYAN] That's BS.
You lied to mom at the stable.
- Is that a fact?
- [RYAN] Yeah.
You said that Duke had a saddle
sore while I tacked him up myself,
and there wasn't a sore.
He threw you 'cause you were
riding with too much tension,
and it spooked him.
There is something
I've been meaning to tell you.
I've been meaning for a long time.
Dad, you're starting to scare me.
Cap. There you are.
What's going on, Rox?
There's something you gotta see.
[METEOROLOGIST] [ON TV]
Batten down the hatches this weekend.
We have a major system of warm air
that's in a collision course
with a system of cold air
right over Nashville.
When opposites crash into
each other, big things happen.
Could get here by the weekend.
Floods, tornadoes.
Should be a good time.
Everybody start dusting off
your swift water gear.
Sounds like we're gonna need it.
I hate swift water gear days.
You're living in the wrong town.
Nah.
They're saying
it might all still blow over,
but y'all know what happens to
Nashville when we get weather.

Alright, well, you got talent, man.
If you ever wanna make
a career shift, you let us know.
Ain't that right, Dad?
You?
Yeah, me.
What are the odds?
You guys, uh
What, do you know each other?
Dad?
Dad?
Remember that thing I had to tell you?
Ryan this is your brother.
♪♪
I expect you have some questions.
Questions about my long-lost brother?
You're damn right I got questions.
We can start with
how'd you do this to Mom?
You remember when you were little,
we sent you to a riding camp
in Oklahoma?
Yeah, I guess so. Why?
Your mom and I separated that May.
- What?
- You're not the only one
who's gone through a rough patch
in his marriage.
We were gonna tell you
when we picked you up,
but on the way out there, we
we finally had a chance
to be alone and talk
without your grandfather in her ear.
We realized how much
we still loved each other.
And even though we'd been through a lot,
we had something worth saving.
And we never looked back.
That's great, Dad.
How does Captain Smokeshow
fit into all that?
A week before we reconciled,
I ran into an ex at a nightclub.
She was a singer, Dixie.
I had no idea she'd be there.
We started talking,
and in a moment of weakness
we reconnected.
[RYAN] Well, go on.
Finish it.
We were at Disney World
for your birthday
when I found out she was pregnant.
I know it's a lot to process.
[VOICE BREAKING] So that's, uh,
that's why you lied to Mom?
Why you been checking
your phone all the time?
[SIGHS] Five days ago,
Blue reached out online,
said he wanted to meet.
I guess he took an ancestry test.
I turned up as
"Likely match for father."
What'd you tell him?
I hadn't mustered up
the courage to reply.
I knew the second I opened that door
that everything in our lives
would change.
You're damn right things
are gonna change.
Might not be such a bad thing.
Now, what you said to Blue on that call,
maybe you were right.
About him working here?
Yeah.
Yeah, that was before
I knew he was a stripper.
Well, he's a stripper that showed up
to our scene dressed as a firefighter.
[DON EXHALES]
Ry, I just got this feeling.
That this is where he's meant to be.
What makes you think
he'd even wanna work here?
- [CHUCKLES]
- What?
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
[BLUE BENNINGS] I can't
get over the coincidence.
Y'all just happened to show up
at the same accident as me.
Didn't just "happen."
We were responding to a call.
Funny. That's the same
reason I came here tonight.
If y'all were serious
about offering me that job,
I'd like to take you up on it.
[SNICKERS]
Do you know how much
a firefighter makes?
Starting salary is less than 60 grand.
I bet you make double that dancing.
Triple, actually.
Oh, so you'd give
all that up to eat smoke?
Already did.
After we saved that bride,
I marched into my boss' office
and told him I was done.
- So you quit, on impulse?
- [BLUE] On instinct.
All those times I was on stage,
I never felt as seen
as when that girl looked up
at me from the street.
This is where I'm meant to be.
You hear that, Ry?
You realize you can't just walk in here
and become a firefighter?
You need training.
I'm a certified lifeguard.
You need more than that.
You need to go to the academy.
I'll sign up today.
When's the next session?
In about six months.
Six months?
I can't wait that long.
I just quit my job.
Sorry, man. Nothing to be done.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, thank you all for your time.
Well, there is one possibility.
Fire cadet exception.
It's in-the-field academy training
until he's ready to be a
probie. There's precedent for it.
But only under
extraordinary circumstances.
Blue, would you mind giving us a second?
Sure thing.
I'd say finding
your long-lost brother on a call
is pretty extraordinary, wouldn't you?
If you say so.
And my instinct is saying yes.
And mine's saying, "Hell no."
Then it's a good thing I'm the captain.

- [BLYTHE] Ryan?
What are you doing here? I thought
you were on the boat
with your dad this morning.
I didn't really feel like fishing.
So, this is serious.
Alright.
Help me walk him off.
[RYAN] You know that
all I've ever wanted
is to protect this family.
Oh, no. Is this about Samantha?
No, no, this is about Dad, alright?
He betrayed us. He betrayed you.
Well, there must be
some misunderstanding
'cause your father
would never betray us.
Oh, I know, I didn't wanna
believe it either.
But last night we were on call,
and then this guy shows up.
And then, later, he confesses to me
that when I was at riding camp
He fathered a child.
You knew?
Your dad and I have always
told each other everything.
What, you just, you forgave him
and moved on after he cheats on you?
He didn't cheat on me.
We were separated,
and it wasn't like
I didn't have my fun, too.
Thank you.
I'm not gonna pretend
that it wasn't the hardest day
of my life when I found out.
[DELICATE, PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
But I prayed on it.
And I even dragged your dad to church
so we could talk to our pastor about it.
And after all that,
you just decided to pretend
that Blue doesn't exist?
We have taken care of that child
since the day he was born
until just last year.
So, why didn't you tell me?
We didn't get to make that decision.
His mama did.
I mean, hell hath no fury
like Dixie Bennings scorned.
Listen, when your father
and I chose to stay together
she vowed to punish him
in the worst way possible.
How?
By keeping him away from Blue.
And she didn't even tell
that poor boy who his daddy was.
We could have taken her to court,
but that would hurt Blue, and
that would hurt you.
I don't know what's worse.
That him keeping it from me
or him throwing it in my face.
What do you mean?
He's got this fantasy
of Blue working at the firehouse
like we're all some big, happy family.
- Huh. Does he really?
- Yeah.
I guess guilt makes people
do crazy things.
I suppose so.
You know, he's never lied to me.
Not once.
I just don't know
if I can look at him the same.
It's devastating, isn't it
learning that nobody's perfect?

It should be "I Feel Like a Woman."
Did she even mention me
in her Grammy speech?
[SCOFFS] Nope.
Can you believe
that Carrie wanted to sing
Jesus, Take the Wheel in F sharp?
I marched into that booth
and I told her,
"Girl, you are singing
to the Lord and Savior."
"It better be in A-major."
I've heard all these stories, Mama.
Why are you telling me this?
Reba, Wynonna, Dolly, Miley.
They all got my vocals
all over their biggest hits.
What do I get?
To be struck down in my prime,
when the universe takes my
singing voice with these polyps.
The universe and a pack-a-day habit.
Hey. Don't you dare sass me, boy.
You know, I have been
done dirty my whole life.
The last person
I expect to be let down by
is my own flesh and blood.
I just don't feel like I can go
through with this plan anymore.
Oh, you mean the plan to save
your mother's very livelihood?
I wanna help pay for your surgery.
I just feel bad
manipulating my dad to do it.
It's no more than we're owed.
[SIGHS] Hell, it's not even
half of what we're owed.

thanks to that
uppity wife of his, Blythe.
Born with a silver stick up her ass.
- Mama, that's not nice.
- [DIXIE] Oh.
No, you know what's not nice?
The way your father treated you.
But he's treating me good.
I told you he hired me to work with him.
[SIGHS] I mean, before that.
When you first reached out
to your bio-daddy
after that DNA test,
what'd he say to you?
- Nothing.
- Yeah, nothing. That's right.
God, he didn't even respond.
He treated you like you were nothing
because he thought you were nothing.
I mean, it took a literal act of God
to make that man
even look you in the eye.
Or am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Honey, look,
I don't say this to hurt you.
I say this to keep you strong.
And you are.
God, you have been my rock

I love you, Blue.
I love you too, Mama.
So, what do you want me to do?
[DIXIE] I want you to go
into that firehouse,

sinking your hooks into him.

Where the hell did you learn to do that?
I mean, I lifeguard in the summer.
Alright, well, you got talent, man.
If you ever wanna make
a career shift, you let us know.
Ain't that right, Dad?
You?
Yeah, me.
What are the odds?
You guys, uh
What, do you know each other?
Dad?
Dad?
Remember that thing I had to tell you?
Ryan this is your brother.
♪♪
I expect you have some questions.
Questions about my long-lost brother?
You're damn right I got questions.
We can start with
how'd you do this to Mom?
You remember when you were little,
we sent you to a riding camp
in Oklahoma?
Yeah, I guess so. Why?
Your mom and I separated that May.
- What?
- You're not the only one
who's gone through a rough patch
in his marriage.
We were gonna tell you
when we picked you up,
but on the way out there, we
we finally had a chance
to be alone and talk
without your grandfather in her ear.
We realized how much
we still loved each other.
And even though we'd been through a lot,
we had something worth saving.
And we never looked back.
That's great, Dad.
How does Captain Smokeshow
fit into all that?
A week before we reconciled,
I ran into an ex at a nightclub.
She was a singer, Dixie.
I had no idea she'd be there.
We started talking,
and in a moment of weakness
we reconnected.
[RYAN] Well, go on.
Finish it.
We were at Disney World
for your birthday
when I found out she was pregnant.
I know it's a lot to process.
[VOICE BREAKING] So that's, uh,
that's why you lied to Mom?
Why you been checking
your phone all the time?
[SIGHS] Five days ago,
Blue reached out online,
said he wanted to meet.
I guess he took an ancestry test.
I turned up as
"Likely match for father."
What'd you tell him?
I hadn't mustered up
the courage to reply.
I knew the second I opened that door
that everything in our lives
would change.
You're damn right things
are gonna change.
Might not be such a bad thing.
Now, what you said to Blue on that call,
maybe you were right.
About him working here?
Yeah.
Yeah, that was before
I knew he was a stripper.
Well, he's a stripper that showed up
to our scene dressed as a firefighter.
[DON EXHALES]
Ry, I just got this feeling.
That this is where he's meant to be.
What makes you think
he'd even wanna work here?
- [CHUCKLES]
- What?
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
[BLUE BENNINGS] I can't
get over the coincidence.
Y'all just happened to show up
at the same accident as me.
Didn't just "happen."
We were responding to a call.
Funny. That's the same
reason I came here tonight.
If y'all were serious
about offering me that job,
I'd like to take you up on it.
[SNICKERS]
Do you know how much
a firefighter makes?
Starting salary is less than 60 grand.
I bet you make double that dancing.
Triple, actually.
Oh, so you'd give
all that up to eat smoke?
Already did.
After we saved that bride,
I marched into my boss' office
and told him I was done.
- So you quit, on impulse?
- [BLUE] On instinct.
All those times I was on stage,
I never felt as seen
as when that girl looked up
at me from the street.
This is where I'm meant to be.
You hear that, Ry?
You realize you can't just walk in here
and become a firefighter?
You need training.
I'm a certified lifeguard.
You need more than that.
You need to go to the academy.
I'll sign up today.
When's the next session?
In about six months.
Six months?
I can't wait that long.
I just quit my job.
Sorry, man. Nothing to be done.
[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, thank you all for your time.
Well, there is one possibility.
Fire cadet exception.
It's in-the-field academy training
until he's ready to be a
probie. There's precedent for it.
But only under
extraordinary circumstances.
Blue, would you mind giving us a second?
Sure thing.
I'd say finding
your long-lost brother on a call
is pretty extraordinary, wouldn't you?
If you say so.
And my instinct is saying yes.
And mine's saying, "Hell no."
Then it's a good thing I'm the captain.

[RYAN] You know that

Oh, no. Is this about Samantha?
No, no, this is about Dad, alright?
He betrayed us. He betrayed you.
Well, there must be
some misunderstanding
'cause your father
would never betray us.
Oh, I know, I didn't wanna
believe it either.
But last night we were on call,
and then this guy shows up.
And then, later, he confesses to me
that when I was at riding camp
He fathered a child.
You knew?
Your dad and I have always
told each other everything.
What, you just, you forgave him
and moved on after he cheats on you?
He didn't cheat on me.
We were separated,
and it wasn't like
I didn't have my fun, too.
Thank you.
I'm not gonna pretend
that it wasn't the hardest day
of my life when I found out.
[DELICATE, PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
But I prayed on it.
And I even dragged your dad to church
so we could talk to our pastor about it.
And after all that,
you just decided to pretend
that Blue doesn't exist?
We have taken care of that child
since the day he was born
until just last year.
So, why didn't you tell me?
We didn't get to make that decision.
His mama did.
I mean, hell hath no fury
like Dixie Bennings scorned.
Listen, when your father
and I chose to stay together
she vowed to punish him
in the worst way possible.
How?
By keeping him away from Blue.
And she didn't even tell
that poor boy who his daddy was.
We could have taken her to court,
but that would hurt Blue, and
that would hurt you.
I don't know what's worse.
That him keeping it from me
or him throwing it in my face.
What do you mean?
He's got this fantasy
of Blue working at the firehouse
like we're all some big, happy family.
- Huh. Does he really?
- Yeah.
I guess guilt makes people
do crazy things.
I suppose so.
You know, he's never lied to me.
Not once.

if I can look at him the same.

- Yeah, nothing. That's right.
God, he didn't even respond.
