are severely compromised.

- I feel fine.

- Until you get hit again.

This doesn't go away.

[dramatic music]

- It was supposed to be
a one-time thing--your words.

- Maybe we should be exclusive.
- Maybe we should break up.

- Here at 33,

we could use
your skills and confidence.

- You will definitely
be missed here.

- Thanks, Brett.

- We appreciate you stepping in

while we find
a replacement for Mackey.

- I'm really glad Chief Kehoe
let you swap out a shift.

I personally requested you.

- Thanks, Brett.

It's good to be back at 51.

- Well, my door's open.

Most of the time.
- [chuckles]

- So just let me know if
there's anything that you need.

- Will do, Chief, thank you.

- Welcome.

- You know what
a great group it is here.

Everyone is super friendly.
- Mm-hmm.

- And, uh...

You know, welcoming.

- Mm-hmm.
I can feel it already.

- Violet Mikami is here.

- Yeah.

She's covering this shift

while Brett looks
for a new partner.

- Just one shift?

[relieved exhale]

- Wow.

- I like Violet.
I do.

But the way things ended
between us was...

awkward.

And I get weird
when I'm around her.

- Never noticed that.
- It's my house.

I shouldn't be the one
getting flustered.

She should be the one...

Flustering.

- Bottom shelf, last I saw.

Lullo's pastries.

- Wow, two boxes.
Look at you.

- Yeah, I figured
after the shutdown,

I should spend all I could.
Help him out.

- We need more of that attitude
from Molly's customers.

- While I was there,

I ran into Ellis Watson at 39.

She told me Bill Maloney
died last night.

- Junior or Senior?

- Uh, Senior?

- Hmm, I guess they were close?

- What's this?

- My own little
wall of inspiration

formidable woman.

Pam Greer.

Badass and kick-ass.

Misty Copeland.

Fierce, graceful,

Gloria Hill,

They're
all independently owned.

- None of the dryers had

Coil's intact.

Doesn't look like it was
anything mechanical.

- Burn patterns are similar

burning the clothes.

Almost like the laundry

Hey.

I can't figure it out.

Back up.

It's probably just

a plastic bag
stuck to the catalytic.

- Chief!

Cargo's burning.

from your office, you'd know.

This isn't a truck
you're driving.

It's a bomb.

you carrying?

Hit the hot exhaust.

We'll just have to be ready.

I'm gonna need a volunteer

The delivery truck lit up

Chief knocked down

- Hmm?

you're happy at 20, but...

51 is a truly special place

and you are
a truly special paramedic.

There are so many reasons
that you should be here.

to list reasons?

Because I actually
wrote down a whole bunch.

- I only need one:

getting the chance
to be your partner.

- Really?

I was gonna suggest it myself,

but I felt it
should come from you.

I am really glad you asked.

We make a great team.

There's one little issue.

There's a big wig from CFD

Wants to talk to
the driver of Truck 81.

Deputy Commissioner Hill.

Truck 81 hitting a pothole

at a couple of kids.

filled with water.

I didn't see it,

I cannot tell you

Gave me her card

to this sheet music

that makes my blood run cold:

"The Marchioness
of Tullibardine,"

one of the toughest
bagpipe marches

you'll ever hear.
- Whoa.

- It's full of doublings
and hand changes and tachums.

- Tachums?
Oof.

- Okay, so what happened?

- I composed myself.

I scanned the first few bars,

and then I turned to the judges
and I said, calmly,

"Madam, gentlemen,

"I don't read music.

I just play it."

- How are you gonna be in the
band if you don't read music?

- I play by ear!
I figured I could get by,

but, no, Maloney Senior

had to go and change
all the rules

out the door.

- So if you didn't make it
into the band,

why are you
in such a good mood?

They loved it.

Gonna show it at
the Chicagoland Celtic Classic

Ah, Grandpa Seamus

would be very proud.

we're not at work anymore.

I'm full time at 51 now.

Really looking forward
to working with you.

to pull yourself together.

You know that, right?

to deserve this?

And Kidd doesn't think
she's a jinx anymore

Commissioner Hill,

No compromises.

Hey, um, a question for ya.

He's had some issues lately.

Got a head injury a while back,

then started having headaches

Any advice?

- Well--
- There ya go, Doc.

I'd recommend your friend see
a neurologist immediately.

Yeah, you don't mess

Thanks.
