Whoo!
How's that for a first call, huh?
- [RYAN CHUCKLES]
- [BLUE PANTING]
Okay, sweetie, can you
tell me where y'all are?
[CALLER] [ON PHONE] 319 Manning Drive,
- in a storm shelter in our yard.
- [MOM GROANING]
We ran from the tornado,
got in just in time,
but now we can't get out.
Something's blocking the door.
I can only open it a few inches.
- I think a tree fell on it.
- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
Wait, I hear buzzing.
- [THUNDER RUMBLING]
- [CRACKLING CONTINUES]
Don't touch anything.
Do not touch anything, okay?
I see downed power lines in your area.
Keep your hands inside the shelter.
[GROANING LOUDER]
GME, this is Nashville 9-1-1.
I need you to de-energize your lines
on the 300th block of Manning Drive.
[GROANING LOUDLY]
She's having another contraction!
Why is this happening?
She's not due for another few weeks.
The stress from the tornado
could have triggered her labor.
[MOM] How far away are they?
[DAUGHTER] How long till
your people get here?
[CAMMIE RALEIGH]
They're on their way, sweetie,
but it's gonna take a minute.
Can you tell me your name?
I'm Lucy. My mom's Angela.
Nice to meet you, Lucy. I'm Cammie.
Angela, can you hear me?
[GROANING] Yes.
Mama, if it's anything like
it sounds, I'd say baby's close.
Oh, she'll be here any second.
What are we gonna do?!
We're gonna deliver that baby.
I don't know how to do that!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Your mama's body
already knows what it has to do.
Trust me, I've been
through it myself twice.
All we need to do is help her along.
But we have to be brave for her, okay?
- You got this, honey.
- [CAMMIE] You ready?
[EXHALES IN DISCOMFORT]
Okay. Tell me what to do.
Okay, first we need some blankets.
[ANGELA PANTING]
We don't have any blankets.
- [CAMMIE] How old are you, Lucy?
- Fourteen. Why?
Uh, are you by any chance
wearing a baggy, oversized sweatshirt?
How'd you know?
You're 14. Take it off.
Lay it under your mom's hips.
We'll wrap baby up with it
when she comes out.
[LUCY] Is this gonna be gross?
Really, Lucy?
I promise, when it's done, it's gonna be
the most beautiful thing
you've ever seen.
[GROANS] Here it comes!
Okay, mama, push. Push.
- [MOANING]
- What do I do?
Just help keep her knees open
and guide the baby out, okay?
- [ANGELA SCREAMING]
- Okay Uh
It's coming! Here it comes.
[SCREAMS, GASPS]
Uh It's coming!
- Comes!
- [ANGELA SCREAMING]
Oh!
[GASPING]
Oh, my God, it looks like an alien!
Babies can sometimes have pointy heads
from the birth canal.
That's perfectly normal.
[LUCY] This is not pointy,
and this is definitely not normal!
- [ANGELA] What's wrong?
- [LUCY] Uh
What What is it? What's wrong?
Mom, don't move. It's still attached.
It's like it's in a bubble,
an alien bubble.
Okay, I'm sure that's
just the amniotic sac.
That can happen
when the baby comes early.
Is she moving?
[LUCY] No, I
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I don't think she is, no.
[CRYING] Oh, God.
Okay, listen, honey,
I'm I'm gonna need you
to take your index finger
and pop the sac.
- "Pop the sac"?
- [CAMMIE] Yes.
Baby sister's depending on you.
[GRUNTS]
[SAC SQUELCHING]
[GASPS]
It's broken, but I'm
not sure she's breathing.
[ANGELA] No!
Lucy, you're gonna have
to do mouth-to-mouth on her.
Do you know how to do that?
No!
[CAMMIE] It's as easy as pie.
Put your mouth completely over her nose
and mouth and gently breathe, okay?
Gently, gently.
Because her lungs are delicate.
We don't wanna hurt them.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[GROANS]
[BABY SNEEZES]
She's breathing!
- [BABY CRYING]
- She's breathing.
[LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
Okay. [EXHALES]
Okay.
Good job, honey.
[CRYING CONTINUES]
Okay, now, wrap her in your sweatshirt
and put her in your mama's cheek.
We want skin-to-skin for baby and mama.
It'll keep 'em warm, and it'll
help release the hormones
to stop the bleeding, alright?
[BABY COOING]
[ANGELA] Come to mama.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- [ANGELA] Hi, honey.
[COOING]
You were right, Ms. Cammie.
About what, sweetie?
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I'm glad to hear it.
Okay. Good news.
First responders are on the scene
and the power lines are off.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[WIND GUSTING]
[FIREFIGHTER] Alright, let's lift.
Here we go. That's good.
[BABY COOS]
They're here. I hear them. [LAUGHS]
Y'all have to let me know
when you pick out a name.
I always love to write 'em down.
[ANGELA] [CHUCKLES] That's an easy one.
"Miracle."
[HATCH OPENING]
[FIREFIGHTER] NFD, we're here to help.
[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SPEAKER] [ON RADIO] Weather
service says storms have cleared,
but another major front
is coming at 1700 hours.
- [WIND GUSTING]

Don't be fooled by
the blue skies, everyone.
Weather service says the next
cell will be here in a few hours.
So get ready.
[FOOTSTEPS SLOSHING]
- Tay.
- Yeah.
Any chance I could borrow some socks?
[TAYLOR] Uh-oh.
Somebody's feeling squelchy?
Aw, you look as sad as a wet cat.
Thanks.
So, what do we think
about the new cadet?
I'm still not quite sure
what he's doing here.
[VELCRO RIPPING]
I don't think he knows, either.
The kid's got guts,
that much I could tell you.
Must be in the genes.
Hey, this is a nice surprise.
- We need to talk.
- [DON] Okay.
You, uh, you saw the news, right?
You know, there's another
storm coming this evening.
Well, I'd say
the biggest one already hit,
and I'm not talking about that concert.
I don't even know
what we're talking about.
I heard from our son
that you ran into Blue.
Hold on.
Oh, my God, honey,
I I'm I'm so sorry.
We We've been
so crazed around here, I
You know, I've been holding off,
trying to figure out what to say.
I do.
We go out on this call and there he is.
He He He's saving this woman
with suspenders and and stripper oil.
I know, like I said,
Ryan told me all about it.
What's bothering me is that you didn't.
You're right. I I'm sorry, I
You've been a part of this journey, too.
Thank you.
But you had to know
once I got that text from Blue,
one way or another,
he's coming back into our lives.
I figured it'd be for dinner,
not for a full-time job.
I mean, is it true
that he's your new probie?
He's my new cadet.
- Uh
- He's got talent, Blythe.
You don't think that's something
that you should run by me?
It's a personnel decision.
I make firehouse decisions.
Oh, cut the crap, Don.
You and I both know that
this involves certain personnel
outside of the firehouse, too.
Dixie.
She has always been poison.
And now you're bringing him in close.
- And, what, no questions asked?
- I can handle it, Blythe.
I'm worried that she you're
just giving her another chance
to pull your strings.
Blue is not Dixie, okay?
He didn't choose who his mama was.
He He shouldn't be judged for that.
That's true.
The moment I saw him,
I felt an instant connection.
You know how long I've wanted
to be a part of his life.
- I know.
- Now I have that chance.
You have to trust this is not about her.
It's about him. I I want him here.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Okay.
Okay?
Okay. If that's what
you want, I support it.
Thank you.
But But if she pulls
anything shady
- I will cut a bitch.
- Oh, I know you will.
And you need to be
sensitive to Ryan, too.
This is a whole lot for him
to wrap his head around.
- I know. Mm-hmm.
- I just
need you to go in with your eyes open.
- Be safe.
- Okay. [CHUCKLES]
I love you.
- [DON LAUGHS]
- What?
Do you remember
the first time you told me
to go into something with my eyes open?
[BLYTHE HART] Hmm
It's the night I found out
Dixie was pregnant.
And I promised you it wouldn't
change anything between us.
And I told you
that no matter what you say
- a baby
- A baby changes everything.
Changes everything.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
[DISTANT SIREN WAILING]
[RYAN] Now, I'm gonna
tell you all this just once,
so if you miss it, you're on your own.
You gotta figure it out yourself, okay?
I'm your lieutenant,
not your tour guide.
Alright, this is the bunkhouse.
House rule, newbie sleeps on
the bottom bed of the bunk bed.
You want me to sleep there?
- Is that a problem?
- Not at all.
My mom's a singer, so growing up,
I spent a lot of nights
on tour buses with her.
I usually got the storage cubby.
["LONELY BOY"
BY THE BLACK KEYS PLAYING]
You slept in a storage cubby?
Yeah. Believe me,
this is quite the upgrade.
Well, I'm so above you ♪
[RYAN] Rule number one,
this pot should never go
below the halfway line.
- And God forbid, run dry.
- That's a joke.
It's funny, because that's never
gonna happen, right, Blue?
- Right.
- Follow me.
Come on!
You'll start meal prepping
three hours before the dinner bell,
which is at 6:30 sharp.
Not 6:15, not 6:45.
It's a lot to take in, isn't it?
Don't worry, we all look out
for each other around here.
Even the cadets.
I appreciate that.
[ROXIE ALBA] You ready?
I'm a lonely boy ♪
I'm a lonely boy ♪
They seem fun.
Yeah, they are fun.
Fun is something
you don't have time for.
Okay, now you'll come in here
and clean every hour.
Vacuuming, tidying.
Make sure everything's nice.
We want you to take care of it.
Well, your mama kept you ♪
- How?
- How what?
How's this place so nice?
I don't think I've ever been
anywhere this nice.
Oh, we get that a lot.
My grandfather was involved
in the remodel.
Anything my grandfather does,
only the finest is allowed.
Sick.
Does that mean I have
a rich grandpa, too?
Uh, no. No, he's a Raleigh.
My mom's side.
Dang.
- [ROXIE] Ooh. Okay, go again.
- [TAYLOR] Okay.
I got a love that keeps me waitin' ♪
Wait, you're telling me we get to
work somewhere we can play darts?
That's pretty amazing.
Oh, well, we can. You cannot, cadet.
If you got time for darts
you're doing the house laundry.
During storm season,
we get a lot of dirty laundry.
I always do me and Mama's
laundry at home, so it's no problem.
I actually enjoy it.
Okay, that might be
too much information for me,
but that is great.
The machines are gonna be over there.
But before you do any spin cycling,
first priority after a call
is restocking the rig.
So grab waters from under the stairs,
then I'll, uh, show you
how to check the hydraulic fluid
on the ladder after.
Thanks, man.
I got a love that keeps me waitin' ♪
What?
I just appreciate you
taking Blue under your wing.
Well, it's my job. I'm your lieutenant.
I meant as my son.
Well, as your son,
I think you're the best man
I've ever known,
but this is the dumbest decision
you've ever made.
Sam.
- Hey.
- [SAMANTHA HART] Hi, Ry.
Hey, Sam.
Hey, Don.
Um, I hope it's okay I dropped by.
I just need to talk to Ryan before work.
Yeah. I'll give you two a minute.
It is so good to see you.
I mean, there's so much crazy stuff
happening at the station, it's insane.
Yeah, sorry I've been so MIA.
Well, yeah, you said
you wanted space, so
I gave you space.
Why'd you come by?
[EXHALES]
What's this?
[PAPER RUSTLING]
It's divorce papers?
Are you serving me here?
My lawyer said it's best to do
with other people around.
So, there's a lawyer now?
Yes. You should get one, too.
Ryan, we've been separated for months.
No. I'm not signing these.
Please don't make this harder
than it already is.
Sam, I love you.
I love you, too.
But love has never been our problem.
We don't have problems.
Not real ones. We have inconveniences.
"Inconveniences." See, this is
why we can never get anywhere
because you still can't
acknowledge what went wrong.
You don't end something special
over scheduling issues.
Ryan, the only time we ever see
each other is when we're both on shift,
and there's usually somebody
bleeding out in between us.
Yes, and we usually save them
because we make a great team.
Just not a good marriage.
We've been putting off
the inevitable for long enough.
Well, nothing is inevitable.
Unless you give up on it,
and you don't give up on family.
Let's try one more time.
Ryan, we we've tried a hundred times.
It's time.
Please, just sign the papers.
Okay?

'Cause Nashville is a small town

I'm gonna go get me some ginger tea,

[DOOR BELL JINGLES]
[BLYTHE] I'm looking for Dixie Bennings.
- Is she in the studio?
- [DIXIE SCOFFS]
[GUARD] I can't disclose
that information.
[BLYTHE] No, no, no, don't
worry, she already posted it
on the socials to her,
you know, handful of followers.
And do you have an appointment?
No. No, I just, I just need a minute.
I'm Blythe Raleigh.
Ma'am, I don't care who you are.
[DIXIE] It's okay, Jake.
You can let her in.
- A friend of yours?
- [DIXIE SCOFFS]
I guess we'll see.
- Thank you.
- [DIXIE] Blythe.
What brings you to
my little corner of the world?
- Your son, coming into my husband's.
- [DIXIE] Hmm.
Don told me they're
gonna be working together.
Oh, yeah, Blue said the same.
Man, I'm so proud of Blue.
I think it's gonna be great
that they finally get to spend
some quality time together
in that firehouse.
That's interesting
coming from the person
that's spent so much time
trying to keep 'em apart.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Well, what can I say?
- The universe is a powerful force.
- [BLYTHE] Hmm.
- Who am I to fight it?
- [BLYTHE CHUCKLES]
I mean, who are you, really?
Well, I'm not here to fight anything.
I'm here to tell you that
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
I support Don on this.
I want him to have
a relationship with Blue,
I always have.
And that is very generous.
But, you know, you could have texted me.
Yeah, but I really just
wanted to look you in the eyes
when I said this next part.
Okay, let's have it.
The fact that they work together
doesn't change the rules
that we agreed upon 20 years ago.
And what rules might you
be referring to exactly?
The one where you stay away
from my husband.
Isn't there one where
you stay away from me?
Well, I just came here to be civil.
Civil has never been
one of my strong suits.
Listen, if you're up
to something, Dixie, stop it.
Otherwise, you're gonna
have big problems.
Oh, honey, I am used to having problems.
Question is, are you?
Is that a threat?
Hey, Jake?
Will you show her out?
Turns out we still ain't friends.
[DIXIE CHUCKLES]
Thank you.
Thank you. Jake.

Hi. Uh, my name is Stuart Pearson.
I'm checking into the honeymoon suite.
Congratulations, Mr. Pearson.
Our manager would like
to invite you both,
and a candlelight dinner for two.
For one is fine.
We, uh, we called off
the wedding, actually.
I'm so sorry to hear
It's for the best.
She thinks I'm too stubborn,
which is ridiculous.
I mean, she was determined to
have an ice cream sandwich bar
and an ice cream sundae bar
at the reception.
That's on top of a macaron tower.
That's a lot of sweets.
Thank you! Thank you.
So I put my foot down.
Laila is such a child when it
comes to her sweet tooth,
which, until now, I've always
found kind of adorable.
Anyway, um, no reason
to let a little breakup
ruin a good honeymoon, right?
Right.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
On that note, um,
I booked a scooter tour today.
- Do Do you see that there?
- Uh, yes.
Uh, but I strongly recommend
you postpone it.
We may have some more
weather coming in this evening.
Eh, it looks fine out there.
It usually does until it doesn't.
Well, I appreciate that,
but, uh, I'm from Seattle.
I'm used to a little weather.

and shore up as best you can.
With chains, ropes,
anything to keep it from falling
while we figure out how to get to him.
On it.
Dispatch, 113 on site.
What exactly are we looking at?
Victim says he's pinned by the railing
on the east face of the tower platform.
- Pinned? Pinned how?
- Through his midsection.
Then I believe the word
you're looking for is "impaled."
Help! Help me, please!
[DON] So we have to
assume he's critical.
I don't suppose you can send
a rescue chopper for support.
Not in these conditions.
So y'all better think of something fast.
There's a monster lightning
storm coming your way.
The last place you wanna be when it hits
is on top of a lightning rod.
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
Yeah, lightning rod
would be a smaller target.
[TAYLOR] [ON RADIO]
Cap, we're in position
to start stabilizing the tower.
We're gonna get the chains and ropes up.
Please help me!
[DON] [ON RADIO] Alright, get her done.
[FIREFIGHTER] Hurry it up!
Go, go, go, go, go.
Pull it taut towards the edge there.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[THUNDER CRASHING]
What is that thing?
[LENS WHIRRING]
Rangefinder.
[BEEPING]
How's it tell you how tall it is?
In feet.
Ry, what are we looking at?
Well, the tower's 135 feet.
Our aerial only goes up to 100,
so we don't got the reach.
Yeah, we may not, but I think
I know something that might.
What do you got?
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[BLUE] A crane! Nice.
Hopefully they left the keys.
We don't need the keys.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[DON] Well, keep working. We gotta move.
Rox, Ryan, y'all ready?
- [RYAN] Ready, ready.
- [DON] Let's go get him.
Alright, beam us up, Captain!
Is it just me,
or is this absolutely insane?
Without a doubt the second
craziest thing I've ever done.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CRANE WHIRRING]
[DON] Dispatch, I'm sending
up Ryan and Rox in a basket.
[CAMMIE] Copy. Good luck.
Am I allowed to ask where
you learned how to do that?
My wife's family owns a bit of land.
Ryan and I work the heavy
machinery when we're out there.
It's about as close
as we get to therapy.
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
I don't think he likes me too much.
He'll come around.
[CRANE WHIRRING]
He's just dealing with a lot right now.
[THUNDER CRASHING]
[RYAN] [ON RADIO] Cap, hold it steady.
I'm stepping off.

[RYAN] Hang on there, buddy. We got you.
Whoa, now! Yep!
[ROXIE] [GRUNTING] You're doing great.
[METALLIC CREAKING]
Cap! Structure feels
severely compromised.
Patient is conscious, but critical.
All the more reason we need to hurry.
- Hey.
- [STUART MUTTERING]
I'm Ryan, and this is Doc.
- Stuart.
- I'm gonna check you out, okay?
Dispatch, I got my people up on
the platform. What's that storm doing?
Roaring right towards you
at about 35 knots,
which means you have
less than five minutes
to get off that tower.
[DON] Ryan,
that lightning's coming fast.
- [RADIO CHIRPING]
- Copy that, Cap.
Looks like you did quite a number
on yourself, Stuart.
Yeah. They warned me about
the weather, but I knew better.
I'm gonna be giving you some
morphine for the pain, okay?
My fiancée was right.
I'm too stubborn.
[THUNDER CRASHES]
Would you please tell Laila
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry?
No! We're gonna get you out of
here so you can tell her yourself.
[WINCES]
Morphine's in!
I'm gonna start cutting on this side!
I'm gonna need you
to close your eyes, alright?
