- [HEN] Ah, ah.
- What?
- You know the rule.
- Ravi-oli, nobody likes a bread grabber.
Hey, there he is.
You don't have to wait on me.
I'm still gonna beat Chim
to seconds anyway.
In your sweet potato dreams, Diaz.
Wait, so we don't
have to wait on everyone?
Everyone waits on everyone, probie.
Because here at the 118,
we work as a family,
we support each other as a family,
and we eat together as a family.
What's everybody waiting for?
- Dig in.
- What you want, Cap?
[BOBBY] Uh, I'll have
some chicken, some yams,
some carrots, all of it.
- Ooh.
- [CHIMNEY] Okay, who wants some of these?
All right, we got
a full moon coming up, probie.
We have had some full moons on this job.
- Isn't that right, Buck?
- [LAUGHTER]
It was that night we had to
deliver all those babies
in the yoga studio.
We were delivering a baby
on this yoga mat,
on that yoga mat, another yoga mat.
- [LAUGHTER]
- We thought the evening was over,
and then Buck over here
has to go deliver a tape worm.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHATTER STOPS ABRUPTLY]
[SIREN WAILING FAINTLY IN DISTANCE]
I still don't get it.
[FRUSTRATED GRUNT]
The contractor wants me to pick out
the final wall color.
So he put up these three whites
to choose from.
Are the other two shades
of white in the room with us?
I can't tell them apart.
Unbleached chalk it is.
Dear Lord, let this be the last decision
I have to make this week. [SIGHS]
You think you're a decisive person,
and then outlet plugs.
[CHUCKLES]
So, um, I wanted
to talk to the two of you.
It's okay, Mom. We know.
Yeah, and we're totally cool with it.
And, hey, if you're looking
to make a profit,
now is definitely the time to sell.
Sell? Sell what?
The house? No.
I'm thinking of going back
to work next week.
I mean, I know we talked about
maybe taking a drive up the coast.
Well, this just
Wait.
Why would you think
I would sell the house?
Uh, we just assumed with
with Bobby gone, you'd might
want to make a change.
Oh. I love this house.
You grew up in this house.
Not this house.
It's the same land.
It's the same footprint.
Same view into the yard.
Y-You know what? You're right.
When you move in, it'll feel
like home again. It'll be great.
And, um, what about the other part?
- You going back to work?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, no, that wasn't a surprise.
- Yeah.
Well, we love you, Mom, but
there are clocks
that are less predictable.
[EDDIE]
He spends all his time worrying.
I just don't think it's healthy.
You're worried about
Buck's level of worry?
No, I-I get what Eddie's talking about.
You know, the other day,
he started asking me
some weirdly specific questions.
And five minutes in, I realized
he was doing a psychological assessment
of my grief level.
I scored a 12.
- Seventeen.
- [EDDIE WHISTLES]
[INHALES DEEPLY]
You know, after I got the news,
I, uh, I couldn't remember the last time
I had spoken to Bobby.
I-I had to look at my phone.
Been two weeks.
[HEN] You were busy.
You were building a whole life
in El Paso, Eddie.
Bobby understood that.
Still feels a little weird that
the last conversation we had
was literally a text asking if
this was a good deal on a slow cooker.
It was not.
So, uh, how are you?
Great. I'm a 12.
[KAREN] Well, you're also in our kitchen
instead of 800 miles away in your own.
I know. I, uh, hadn't planned
on staying this long.
It's been kind of nice being home.
You know, spending time
with my Aunt Pepa.
- Hey, you know she had a stroke?
- Oh, how is she?
- Oh, she's good.
- Can we take a minute to notice
that you called this city home?
And not the other one.
- Force of habit.
- [KAREN] Mm.
Or a Freudian slip?
[KAREN] Well, you could move back.
I mean, I hear there might be an opening
for a paramedic at the 118 soon.
Why would there
Captain Wilson?
They make it official, finally?
The chief made the offer,
but I haven't accepted yet.
Congratulations anyways.
Thank you, but Karen is right.
You should come back to the 118, Eddie.
Whether I'm captain or not.
Well, why wouldn't you be captain?
[EDDIE] I appreciate that, but
you're not the only one
that got a job offer.
I got a call this morning.
El Paso Fire Department.
They want me to report
at the end of the week.
Well, speaking
of congratulations. [CHUCKLES]
[KAREN] So
when are you gonna tell Buck
you're leaving?
I was thinking maybe
his new captain could do that?
- Get out my house.
- [EDDIE CHUCKLES]
[PRIEST] In the name of
the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
Uh, a-amen.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
Actually, I'm not really sure
this applies to me.
[PRIEST] You've never sinned?
Uh, no, I-I have.
A lot.
Uh, to be honest with you,
I'm not even Catholic.
Wait, wait. Is it a sin
to not be Catholic?
Officially, not since Vatican II.
Why don't we set the formalities
and the cell phones aside
and just talk?
What brings you here today?
I was hoping to get
a message to someone.
A friend of mine.
You know this isn't
a phone booth, right?
He's dead.
I came here looking for him, I guess.
People always talk about
being able to feel loved ones
after they died.
- Like, th-their presence, you know?
- Mm.
And I keep on hoping
I'm gonna feel his, but
s-so far
Nothing?
This is usually
when I'd go to him for advice.
You still can.
I talk with our Heavenly Father
all the time,
and sometimes he answers.
Why don't I let you have a moment?
♪
Uh
C-Cap, uh, Bobby.
You were wrong.
You said I'd be okay.
And I'm not.
And they don't need me.
I-I-I keep on trying, and I reach out,
but everyone is just spinning away.
We don't talk.
We don't even eat together.
Everything is falling apart,
and I don't know how to fix it.
So, I-I need you to
I need you to come back here
and I need you to tell me what to do.
Or I-I need you to give me a sign.
- 'Cause uh
- [RUMBLING]
- Are you okay?
- [BUCK] What was that?
It was a 2.8 out of North Hollywood.
Or maybe it was a sign from Bobby.
♪
Well, Lorna, I saw on your chart
this isn't your first root canal.
Honestly, I've lost count.
Good, so you know the drill.
- [LAUGHS]
- Sorry, a little dentist humor.
You're funny today, Dr. Stevens.
[LORNA] I think I hit
the lotto of bad genes
and worse insurance.
- Do you floss?
- I own floss.
Mm. A lot of people avoid the dentist.
And I tell them all
the same thing: I don't bite.
- [ASSISTANT CHUCKLES]
- And just to make sure you don't bite,
- I'm gonna place this here.
- [WHIMPERS]
- Mm-hmm.
- [PAINED GRUNTING]
[BREATHY GRUNT]
Now let's get you numb.
[PAINED GRUNT]
[FEARFUL GRUNT]
[MOANS SOFTLY]
[WHIMPERS]
Now, I'm telling you
exactly what I'm doing, okay?
First, I'm flushing the area
with some water.
[PAINED GRUNTING]
I see the problem. Mm. Does that hurt?
[EXCLAIMS]
- How about that?
- [EXCLAIMS]
Ooh, this is gonna be a humdinger.
I need to open the crown,
take a peek inside.
Iliana, the drill.
[FEARFUL GRUNT]
Water.
[DRILL WHIRRING]
- So, you watching anything good?
- Huh?
[DR. STEVENS] That's it.
Just going a little deeper now.
- [LORNA BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Now
[SCREAMING]
Dr. Stevens was drilling, and
her mouth turned into a hellmouth.
- How badly is she burned?
- No, no, no, she isn't burned.
[PANTING]
- He is.
- I-I don't know what happened.
It was a normal root canal.
Doc, let's check out those burns.
You'd better take care of her, too.
- [STRAINING] Help me!
- Oh.
- [WHIMPERS]
- Oh.
- Bite block melted from the heat.
- [PAINED GROAN]
Looks like your burns are superficial.
Let's get him in the ambo.
Irrigation and lots of gauze.
But I have a waiting room
full of patients.
You're in shock.
Trust me, they'll understand.
Ma'am, are you having
any trouble breathing?
[MUFFLED] No, just opening my mouth.
She said just opening her mouth.
- Exactly.
- "Exactly."
How are you doing that?
I spend a lot of time around mouths.
- Ma'am, are-are you an actress?
- What?!
Uh, sorry, maybe
we just go to the same gym.
Okay, let me see
if I can get your jaws free,
- and Buck will shut his.
- Okay, but why did she turn into
a fire-breathing dragon?
Well, dental drills can
throw off sparks, can't they?
Yeah, still would need something
flammable in her mouth.
Were you all using ether?
No, just water.
That's weird.
All right, that's a red tag.
No more dental procedures
until it's inspected
by the Health Department.
Buck, grab me a drape from over there.
Okay, uh, here you
This is not okay!
Blue. I knew you looked familiar.
Uh, c-couple of Christmases ago,
she overdosed on tooth cream.
- Oh.
- The Smurf!
[MUFFLED] Lorna!
"Lorna." And I don't think
she likes the Smurf reference.
Okay, Lorna, just keep
as still as possible.
I'm gonna try to cut through
that bite block.
- No more drill!
- "No more"
"Drill." Yeah, don't worry.
She's just using a saw.
[HEN] Yeah.
- [WHIRRING]
- [LORNA GROANING]
Almost done.
[LORNA PANTING]
[HEN] There we go.
- That feel better?
- [PANTING]
Actually, yeah.
My tooth stopped hurting.
[WHIMPERS]
- Ugh.
- [LORNA] That explains it.
Well, I guess you don't need
that root canal anymore.
♪
727-L-30 on scene at 8420 Newton.
Finally! I called like 20 minutes ago.
Dispatch mentioned missing pants?
Yeah, and my socks, jocks
and like four tank tops.
[SCOFFS]
I left them right here this morning,
and when I came back,
my whole load was gone.
Somebody moved your laundry?
Stole it.
And you called 911?
He's a serial offender.
Oh, so you know who it is?
Yeah, it's that little creep
who just moved into apartment 418.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
[GRAHAM] You can
leave it outside, thanks.
LAPD.
Graham?
Uh, I thought you were groceries.
Don't you work at a grocery store?
Um, it was a mutual exit.
Technically, I'm banned.
[ATHENA] From Cart
Cop to laundry police?
I feel like you're backsliding.
Well, my therapist says
that the cart corral
was, like, a-a trigger.
And Cart Cop was a mask.
And I was policing others
to control my own demons.
Graham if you are reformed,
then why was I called here
for stolen jockstraps?
Well, you know I'd never steal.
Even for justice?
Nope.
Even if somebody left their clothes
in the washing machine for hours?
Just sitting there,
getting dank,
while other folk waited their turn?
Wouldn't you think that the person
who held up the line,
that they were a, um
A shirker.
Uh, that meathead is a repeat shirker.
Uh, there are 255 units
in this building.
Scant washer-dryers.
And when you abandon
your clothes for hours,
thereby impeding the flow of laundry,
you set the whole social order
on a spin cycle into the abyss.
You know you need to give
that man his clothes back.
- I told you, I don't have them.
- Where are they?
I put them in their rightful place.
[ATHENA] "Any personal belongings
"left unclaimed in the common areas
"for over three hours may be placed
in the lost and found bin."
[WATER DRIPPING]
You could've put my stuff in the dryer.
What if your delicates need to drip dry?
[ATHENA] Uh
Next time?
That's your head.
Sir, you have a dryer to get to.
[SNIFFS AGGRESSIVELY]
Sir, your drippings
are creating a slip hazard. Sir?
How many of your new neighbors
are you gonna turn into enemies?
Oh, that was a backslide, wasn't it?
If you want to be a changed man,
you have to actually change.
[SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Said I was gonna get the groceries.
Well, I was out.
It's fine.
Doesn't feel like it's fine.
I heard you finally got the call
from El Paso Fire.
Congratulations.
Who told you?
Let's see.
Uh, Hen told Chimney that she wanted
to throw you a surprise barbecue.
Chimney told Ravi, and Ravi called me
'cause he wanted to know
if he should bring a gift.
- I was gonna tell you.
- Yeah, but you didn't, did you?
No, instead, everyone has been
tiptoeing around behind my back,
'cause apparently I'm
too fragile to accept the truth.
Can you blame us?
Look how you're acting now.
You really think I wouldn't
have been happy for you?
No. I know you wouldn't be.
You make it all about you.
Trials and tribulations of Evan Buckley.
A tragedy in 97 acts.
You've been spiraling since the funeral.
And no one knows
how to talk to you about it.
Sorry I'm sad that Bobby's dead.
You're not the only one that lost him.
We all lost him.
And we're just trying to do
our damn best to get through it.
- Yeah, I know.
- Really?
'Cause you never asked what it was like.
[PHONE RINGING]
Waking up in the middle of the night
to that news.
Sitting alone in the dark.
Trying to keep it together
so I don't scare the crap out of my kid.
And when he woke up,
I had to tell him
another person he loved
was dead.
Oh.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I know he was important to you, too.
He saved my life.
And I wasn't there to save his.
And a part of me
will always wonder, if I was there,
could I have made a difference?
You, uh, you don't think I did
everything I could to save him?
I don't know, Buck.
I wasn't there.
♪
Eddie?
[SIGHS]
Jerk.
Fire!
It's like a mini
Mount Kilauea back here.
Okay, if your sprinklers just went off,
they're probably on a timer.
Have you tried turning it off?
Who knows where
their sprinkler timer is?
Fair enough. I'm sending LAFD.
Until then, stay off the lawn.
Let me get this straight.
Your husband burned himself
by chugging water
and lighting his burps on fire?
No, the fountain at the Grove
should not have pyrotechnics.
- [CALLER] What?
- I'm not saying run,
but I would be heading to my car.
[CALLER] Oh, my God. Seriously?
Are you getting this?
Yeah, I think there's
something in the water.
Methane is on tap, with
Angelenos reporting flaming water
in their faucets
and even their swimming pools.
The U.S. Geological Survey believes
that yesterday's
2.8-magnitude temblor upset
an underground gas pocket
beneath L.A.'s
Headworks Reservoir.
And this is especially troubling
because methane can bubble up
from the water
with explosive results.
Officials are advising residents
not to drink the water
[BELCHES]
or try to boil it.
This is why I don't do tap.
[SOOTHING MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm tranquil.
I am peace.
[PHONE VIBRATING, RINGTONE PLAYING]
Nope.
Outside business hours.
[SIGHS]
I am tranquil.
I am peace.
Damn it, you piece of
[SIGHS]
I am tranquil.
I am peace.
[FIRE ROARING]
Please hurry! My whole bath is on fire!
I can't get to the door!
Okay, what's your name?
Erin. Please help me!
Erin, I'm Maddie. What's your address?
5609 Old Topanga Canyon Road.
I have units on the way.
Where in your house is the bathroom?
In the back.
Southeast corner of your house?
I have the satellite view.
Yeah, upstairs.
Okay. Stay low and get as
far from the flames as you can.
We're gonna find you
a safe place to wait.
I just wanted to take a nice bath,
and now I'm gonna die!
Where in the room are you?
In the corner, by the toilet.
[COUGHS] There's so much smoke in here.
We need to get you some breathable air.
- Is there a window?
- No, I already tried that.
Erin, I'm looking at a map.
Your house is on the septic, right?
Not the city sewer?
Yeah, why? [COUGHS]
I can get you a few minutes of air,
but you've just got to go with it.
- Okay, I'm going with it.
- Good.
Look behind your toilet.
There's a silver water hose.
Turn the shutoff clockwise.
Unscrew both ends.
[COUGHING]
Okay.
Okay, I got it.
Now put one end of the hose
into the toilet bowl.
Thread it through
the bottom of the bowl.
It'll reach an air pocket.
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
- Have you ever snorkeled?
- Not in a toilet!
Just pretend you're at the beach.
Blow through the hose to clear it out,
and then you'll have fresh air.
Okay, here it goes.
[GASPING]
- [BLOWING]
- [WATER BUBBLING]
- Is it working?
- Uh, yeah.
Y-You don't have to smell it.
Just breathe it.
- Maddie
- What?
My whole vanity's on fire.
It's getting really hot in here.
Okay, we're not gonna panic.
Help is almost there.
There's a skylight, right?
Are you under it?
- Why?
- [RAVI] LAFD! Coming in!
- [COUGHS]
- [EXTINGUISHER WHOOSHING]
Are you real?
No, ma'am, I'm Buck.
Let's get you some fresh air.
Hey, Ravi, let's go.
[WINCH WHIRRING]
I hope you're not feeling guilty
about the promotion.
I mean, the best thing for the 118
would be you as captain.
Mm.
I still think of Bobby as Cap, you know?
He would want it for you.
I know.
- What if I don't want it?
- What?
Why would you turn down a promotion?
Why did you?
I remember you turning down
that bump to lieutenant.
I didn't take it because
that's not the job I wanted.
I mean, it would've been
more about paperwork
than protect and serve.
And you never regretted that decision?
Mm-mm.
I mean, turning down a promotion,
that's kind of like the end of
the road for your career, right?
W-Wherever you are
is where you're gonna be
for the rest of your life.
No more advancement.
You never felt stuck?
Well, not until just now. [LAUGHS]
- [KEYS JANGLING]
- [LOCK CLICKS]
That must be Karen.
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey, what-what happened to the movie?
[CHIMNEY] You know that expression
- "beer before liquor, never been sicker"?
- [SIGHS]
Well, just substitute
the beer and liquor
for nachos and cotton candy,
and you get the idea.
I don't think we can go back
to the movie theaters.
It was kind of epic.
Why don't you go lay down in my bed
and I'll get you something
to try to settle your stomach.
Feel better, okay?
Hey, Athena.
Oh, hi, sweetheart.
[LAUGHS]
How you doing?
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, Athena. Nice to see you.
Can you, uh, give me
a second while I, uh
Oh, no, no, no. I'm fine.
I'm not feeling too good myself,
so I'll call you later.
[CHIMNEY SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Well, that wasn't
awkward at all. [SIGHS]
Thought you went to Texas.
When did I say that?
In your note.
No, my note said
I was going to the airport.
The airport and Texas are not the same.
They don't even have the same
amount of letters in their
Why else would you go to the airport?
Heard some dick was being mean to you.
Thought you could use some cheering up.
Hi, Buck.
Chris. Wow, I-I can't
I can't believe you're here.
Hey.
I'm sorry about Bobby.
Yeah. Yeah, me, too.
Uh, d-did you guys eat?
Huh? I-I could make us
something, or we could go out.
Don't worry. We got it covered.
Don't tell me you ordered pizza.
No, but it is nice
to see that someone else
is finally cooking in that kitchen.
And you are out of cumin, Evan-cito.
- You brought your Aunt Pepa.
- [AUNT PEPA LAUGHS]
He couldn't keep me away.
Whoa.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Surprise.
I know staring
at that cardboard mountain
has been making you nuts, so
So you made a cardboard avalanche?
Well, I felt I needed a project.
It was that bad?
She took one look at me
and completely shut down.
Closed for business and out the door.
Hen says I shouldn't
take it personally, so
Hey. You didn't cause this.
Kind of worry that maybe I did.
See, I've been thinking about that day,
and Bob and I were talking
about the baby, and I
I asked him to take care
of you and the kids
after I was gone.
And he promised not to let
anything happen to you guys.
I mean, he must've known at that point
that he was infected, so
Is that the moment that he decided?
'Cause I reminded him
that I have a kid on the way?
So what if it was?
You didn't know
that he had been exposed.
It wasn't a sob story.
You weren't trying to manipulate him.
You were scared
and talking to your friend.
And then he decided to save your life.
And I will forever be grateful for that.
[SIGHS]
I just want
to take care of her, you know?
The way that Bobby
would've taken care of you.
But it's kind of hard to do
when you can't even be
in the same room together.
Maybe she just needs some time.
[SNIFFLES] We all do.
Yeah.
That is a bold lack of color.
[ATHENA] Sorry.
Bottled water is all I've got
to offer at the moment.
Water's great.
- As long as it doesn't explode.
- [CHUCKLES]
This place looks great.
Yeah, thanks.
It is finally coming together.
Yeah, in a couple of weeks,
we'll be move-in ready.
I mean, of course,
then I have to figure out
what I'm actually moving in,
because, uh,
you know, I still have
a lot of stuff to replace.
Well, then,
[SINGSONGY] let me help you get started.
Aw.
- You didn't have to get me anything.
- [LAUGHS]
It's nothing big.
I was, uh, gonna
give it to you the other day,
but you were already gone
by the time I got home.
Well, you know, migraine.
They just come out
of the blue sometimes.
[ATHENA GRUNTING SOFTLY]
I remember you had asked for
a copy for the old house, and
I figured it might be a nice memory
for the new house.
[SIGHS SOFTLY]
I don't blame him. I really don't.
It's just that
whenever I look at him,
I see the man who isn't here.
He's alive and Bobby's not.
I know it's not fair.
You're grieving.
So "fair" can go
mind its own damn business.
We just want
to be there for you, Athena.
You don't have to do this alone.
Well, maybe I should.
Because every time
I look at him, I get angry.
And I'm pretty sure
every time he looks at me,
he feels guilty.
And Hen
Caught in the middle.
She loves you both.
And she's just afraid that
this rift between the two of you
will eventually get too big to repair.
She doesn't want to lose you, too.
She won't.
But I think the best thing for everyone
is if Chimney and I
just keep our distance.
I mean, the only thing
that we need to be to each other
from now on is professional.
Okay.
I get it.
But I will call Hen
- and tell her that I still love her.
- Good.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
That'll make her feel a lot better.
- All right, well, thanks for coming by.
- Of course.
And thank you for the gift.
You know
when people come over to our house,
and they always ask about that picture,
wanting to know who's in it,
and you know what I never say?
Hen's coworkers.
I always say that's our family.
[SIGHS]
[EDDIE] Every time.
It's, uh, it's nice to see
those two together again.
Same as they always were.
It's a testament to our Eddie.
Yeah, he's a good dad.
- 20. [LAUGHS]
- Chrisotpher's a lucky kid.
Your captain was a good man.
You must miss him.
Uh, yeah.
Bobby was our center.
Without him,
everything feels off-balance.
Kind of like the-the gravity
is gone, you know?
You know, after my stroke,
I was so afraid.
I I couldn't even move my hand.
I kept thinking, "My life
will never be the same."
- [SCOFFS]
- W-Well, hey, look at you now.
[LAUGHING]
Yes, look at me now.
Doing all your dishes.
Right, in fact, hey,
wh-why don't you sit
and let me take over?
- Fair enough. [LAUGHS]
- [CHUCKLES]
You know, recovering
from anything is a bitch.
But I didn't get here by pretending
that things hadn't changed.
I got here by embracing that they had.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Uh, okay, so h-how did you do that?
Well, a lot of prayer.
A lot of occupational therapy.
You know, life is change, cariño.
It's unavoidable.
Are you sure there's not some way
- that I can avoid it?
- [LAUGHS]
No. You have to own it.
If a vieja like me can do it,
so can you.
[SIGHS SOFTLY]

One of the employees called 911
after a spark from

The wing that's burning
stores combustibles
but no high hazards.
Do you see the east wing?
[GERRARD] I do.
It's the e-waste unit,
specializing in lithium-ion batteries.
Probably hundreds of thousands of them.
So if the fire reaches that wing
We're looking at a toxic blaze
that'll burn till next week.
What do we know

[GERRARD] Dispatch,
we are minutes

Where can I get water
that won't explode?
[MADDIE] Most of the city
is on the same water system.
The methanated one.
But some neighborhoods
pull from groundwater wells.
Cal West Water Company.
Nearby, and they don't
source from Headworks.
Dispatch, how far is
their nearest hydrant?
[MADDIE] About ten blocks.
So maybe we don't need a refill.
- Just a longer straw.
- Or a chain of them.
Hose relay. We bring the water to us.
Cap?
Good idea. Let's get hoses on the fire,
using engine water only,
until it gets here.
Dispatch, we're gonna start
a relay operation.
We're gonna need a few more engines.
Copy you, 118. You're
0.7 miles from the source.
So to cover that distance,
600 feet of hose per engine.
We need five more engines.
[GERRARD] We'll be here.
We'll be using water from our trucks,

I'm not gonna be.

Why? Why would you do that?

I'm not.
