You're gonna make a great dad.

- You cannot tell anyone.

No one can find out, okay?

- Gallo, if I was

Now I'm pissed off.

there's not much to tell.

I was heading inside

when I saw her lying
under the canopy,

out cold,
basically drowning in gasoline,

and that pump was, you know,
was shooting off sparks

like the Fourth of July.

- He's underselling it.

She was tucked way in there,

and he somehow got her out

half a second before
the whole thing went up.

- Did you drag her out?

- Nah, I just scrambled
under there

and then rolled us both out

before the fwoop.

Really?

- Gallo.

Can I have a word?
- Yeah.

What's up?

- I gave you an order
on that call, did I not?

- What do you mean?
About the shut-off?

Yes, you told me
to take care of it,

but I spotted the victim

and the shut-off
wasn't gonna help her.

She was already covered in gas.

- The order I'm referring to

is when I said no one moves in
until I say so.

- She'd be dead if I didn't
move in right then and there.

- You're lucky
you're not dead too.

Diving in head first
wasn't your only option.

You forget how to use
the radio?

Report your situation,
call for backup!

- Okay, with all due respect,
Captain,

you knew I was quick to act
when you hired me.

That's why you hired me,

and I think I deserve
the benefit of the doubt here.

I mean, I was operating with
information you wouldn't have.

- Go home.

Wait, what?

- Pack up and go home.

is my fault.

tell the story.

Thought you might want
to swing by.

- What's the address?

- Ogden Plaza Park.

- 'Kay, we're on our way.
Thanks, Hannah.

I see 76.

Where are the medics?

- Over there.

- Mackey, it's them.

.

[siren wailing]

- Hey!

Hey, don't let them go!

You just got ripped off.

Check your fentanyl.

- Yeah, it's all an act.
She didn't have a seizure.

She was distracting you
while he swapped out the vial.

- What?
That's crazy.

- The vial's still here.
- No, that's not your vial.

Check the foil.
Has it been tampered with?

[dramatic music]

♪

- Son of a bitch.

- That doesn't prove anything.
- Empty your pockets.

- No, hell no.
You don't tell me what to do.

You're no cop.

Come on, let's get out of here.

- You're not going anywhere.

[sirens wailing]

Ooh.

You got problems now.

- Don't move.
Hands up.

- This is the one
with the vial.

- Let's go.

- Thanks for coming so quick,
Chief.

- Well, you told me
I better step on it.

- Hey, Chief.

All right, hands on your head.
You too.

- Nice work.

- I heard that Brett and Mackey

were ready to tackle
those two scammers

right into the ground.
- I believe it.

I'm just glad that Mackey's
finally in the clear

with Chief Colson.

Oh, hey!

[laughs]

So Chloe got a checkup.
- Yeah?

- The doc says everything
looks great.

So hopefully sometime
next week--

[clears throat]

Hey.
- [scoffs]

- Hey.

- I know what
you're talking about.

I don't care
who sees it anymore.

- Aah!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Aw, you got Trudy's name
tattooed on there.

- I lost a bet.
Okay?

You do not back out
on a bet

with Trudy Platt.

I was trying to keep it
in the marital vault,

but I guess someone here

has prying eyes.

- No one ever saw that, Mouch.

- Yeah, that's a secret
I did not want to know.

- She showed up at my place.
I didn't ask her to come over.

It just happened, okay?

- I'm gonna kill those two.

- You know, it means a lot

that you had my back
with Colson from the jump.

- Always.
We're a team.

[rock music]

- Okay.

So then are you gonna tell me

what's going on
with you and Casey?

Because when we ran into
that Sydney girl,

you were pretty spun out.
- [sighs]

We had a brief
complicated thing,

and I guess I was a little hurt

to see how quickly
he got over it,

even though I'm the one
who told him to.

♪

Honestly, I just want him
to be happy.

- Well, girl,

clearly you need to get out

and have some fun
on your own.

- [laughs]

- You've got
some explaining to do.

- Hmm?
- I'm gonna go mingle.

- Mm, what happened
to having my back?

Hi.

- For me?

- Yeah, I thought
I should explain.

[sighs] I've been a little out
of sorts lately.

Mind elsewhere.

- Yeah, well, sure.
No worries.

- This isn't an apology.

- Right, of course.

- The fact is, Gallo,

I'm your captain.

I'm answerable for your safety.

Losing a firefighter
is the worst thing

that can happen to an officer.

[dramatic music]

And I would know.

♪

If anything had happened to you
under that canopy,

I wouldn't have even known
you were there.

♪

I couldn't have done a thing
to help you.

You robbed me
of my accountability.

And that can't happen again.

- It won't.
I swear.

[knock at door]

- [sighs]

- You have to take
the lieutenant's test.

- You have no say in this.

You have been MIA.

- I've been MIA because I
thought that was best for you.

Chief Conway told me
the white shirts

say that the only reason
you're moving up the ladder

is because you're with me.

I didn't tell you

because I figured
it would mess with your head.

You deserve better.

- You thought that
I couldn't handle that?

- What I thought is...

you've earned every part
of this yourself.

Everybody should know that.

- It sounds like maybe you care

what they're saying.

Because I sure as hell don't.

Kelly, I didn't
become a firefighter

as a white guy with my father
at the top of the chain.

I came up alone,
fighting every step of the way

with people looking down on me

and doing whatever they could
to shake my confidence.

I have a built-in armor

that you will never understand,

and no one like Conway
is gonna knock me down.

- But then why aren't you
taking the test?

You don't need my help.
You have to know that.

- Of course I know I don't need
your help with some test.

I needed you to do
what you do best:

to tell me,
"You got this, Stella Kidd."

And to pick me up
when I'm feeling low.

And instead,

you shut down on me.

You shut down on me

like the bad old days.

- This attitude of yours

is exactly why

I know you got this,
Stella Kidd.

And it's why...

I know how badly I screwed up.

And it's why...

I'm never gonna let you go

away from me again.

- You are not the decider.

- [sighs]

- [sighs]

And pretty soon,

we're gonna be
in the same rank.

So listen up.

I am the one

who's never gonna let you
get away again.
