- Dwayne wants to
move in together.

I'm kind of in
love with the guy.

But I just--
I need my own space.

- You just gotta
go talk to Dwayne,

just sort some things out.

[gunshots]

- Pulse is strong,
and she's breathing on her own.

Stay positive, Mouch.

- You're out of surgery.

You did really good.

You're gonna be okay.

- Stella!
- In here!

- Hey, I'm gonna
grab a quick shower,

then I'll be ready to go.

- All right.

- What's going on in here?

- I woke up
to a text from my cousin.

He's coming to Chicago
for some work things,

so I told him he could
crash here for a few nights.

Is that okay?
- Of course.

Which cousin?

- Cole.

It's Aunt Laverne's oldest.

It's been years
since I've seen them,

but we used to be really close.

So it'll be good to see him
and for you to meet him.

- But?

- Uh...

it's--it's just been
a long time,

and he's coming in today,

so there is not a lot of time
to get the room set up.

- The place looks great to me.

- I just want it
to feel warm and welcoming.

[soft music]

Will you help me move that
to the other side of the bed?

- Sure.

- You got Kylie coming in
on this shift, right?

- That's right.

- It looks like Kidd has
Chippy coming in on truck.

- Mm-hmm.

- Any idea when
Mouch gets back?

- Eh, a couple more shifts.

But, Trudy, she's dying
to get back to work.

So he's sticking around to
make sure that doesn't happen.

And the doctors are
thinking that, you know,

she could get some more rest.

- I'm glad she's on the mend.

- That lady is indestructible.

- This light has
been out for weeks,

and no one has
bothered to replace it.

- Well, I mean, including you.

I'm just saying,
if you noticed it weeks ago.

- Did you know
the light was out?

- Yeah, but overhead lighting
is so unflattering.

- Hey, you didn't text
me back last night.

- Oh, right.

- Yeah, Flynn scored
reservations at the Lion,

and we were hoping we
could do a double date.

- Yeah.

Things aren't awesome between
me and Dwayne right now.

- Oh, no.

Is he still mad that you didn't
wanna move in together?

- No, not mad,
just disappointed.

His words.

- Oh, that is so much worse.

- Yeah, I haven't
seen him all week,

and he's sending those
one-word text responses

where okay can be read,
like, ten different ways.

- Oh, good.

Someone's finally
fixing the light.

Oh, dimmable LEDs?

Where do you think we are,
the Four Seasons?

- These take
old-school incandescent.

It's a waste of energy.

- Ugh, are these not
the right bulbs?

'Cause this is all we have
in the storage closet.

- What's the wattage?

- If it's LED,
it doesn't matter.

- Right.

- How many first responders
does it take

to change a light bulb?
[alarm blares]

- Truck 81,
Engine 51, Ambulance 61,

motor vehicle accident.
- All right. Heads up.

- Whoa. Where'd you learn that?

- Oh, like it's hard?
Hey, Capp.

Thanks for taking over.

I'm sorry

for screwing up back there.

- You did your part
with the ram.

- Yeah, but you asked me
to make the cut.

I wasted time and--
- All right, all right.

Stop.

One thing I don't have
time for is bruised egos.

It was an advanced move.

And I had to make
a split-second call,

so I switched things up.

What matters is,
we got her out safely.

- Well, it--
it won't happen again.

- Sure it will.

And then you'll learn.

And it will happen less.

You are new on Truck,

but you are
a great firefighter,

Personal trainer now.

that I was coming to see you.

She sends all of her love.

I send it all right back.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna show you around.

We got a lot to catch up on.

- Let's do it!

- Hey, Tony, you think
you parked far enough in?

We could barely
fit in the lane.

- Yeah, that was on purpose.

- Doherty's been
crossing the line,

so we're pushing him back.

- What line?

You know, you Squad guys,

you think you own
the whole damn firehouse!

- What's got you
all riled up today?

- Oh, it doesn't affect Squad,
so I don't expect you to care.

- Something happen
on that call?

- Yeah, it's just another
missing hydrant,

which almost cost somebody
their life.

And if they weren't dry barrel,
there would be geysers

shooting up all over the city.

- It probably got run over.

- Yeah, doesn't that
happen all the time?

- Every now and then,
yeah, sure.

But I feel like we're coming
across these empty bases

more and more lately.

- We're seeing
the same thing at 37.

- What? Really?

- Yeah, two in our still
district last week.

One right outside
the firehouse.

- You see what I mean?

There is no way this is
all from bad drivers.

- Why don't you
call HQ about it?

- All the hydrants are owned
by the water department.

- Hey, you know what?

I am gonna file a complaint,
but not with HQ.

No, somebody over
at the water department

is about to get an earful.

- Nothing like
sweating through your shirt

five minutes into shift, huh?

- Yeah, that was
pretty intense.

Hey, when you started at 81,
did you know

how to make a "relief cut
on the A at the rocker?"

- Yeah, but we called it
"making a hinge point

on the lower A-post at 132."

Every company has
their own shorthand.

Look, Kidd has her own way
of doing things, shouting out

orders she probably
picked up from Casey.

Some are totally
unique to Truck 81.

And I was coming from
another truck company.

Transferring from Engine,
that's like switching up

from safety to running back.

You have to learn
all new play calls.

Give it time.

- I want Kidd to know
that she can rely on me.

- Why don't we
postgame the call?

I'll show you
how to make the cut.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

And I'll try to remember
more Kidd-isms

that threw me off at first.

[chuckles]

- Does Laverne still collect
those fridge magnets?

- Yep, she's got them all the
way down her freezer side now.

- Every time I see one at a
gas station or a souvenir shop,

I think of her.

We will get some Chicago ones
you can bring back.

- Hell, yes.

- Kelly!

This is Cole.

- Hey, great to meet you.

- How's it going, Kelly?

- So I just gave him
the key to our place.

He's gonna take off
in a minute.

- Yeah, sounds good.
- Okay.

- There's a delivery truck
out there.

I think the harnesses
you ordered just came in.

- Oh, great.

I will run out and grab those.

Uh, would you mind just

finishing up the tour
with Cole?

Just showing him the tower.
- Of course.

- Okay, great.

I'll be right back.
- All right.

Stella show you her
wall of inspiration?

Aunt Laverne's right
beside Pam Grier.

- I did see that, yeah.

- You know, she's really happy
that you--you came here.

- Unlike you, right?

- What?

- Why do you think I gave such
short notice about my trip?

- Cole, man, I got no idea.

- You've been keeping
Stella from us for too long.

- Hey, I told the lady
at the water department

that, on most calls,
the difference

between life and death
is a matter of seconds.

And we don't have
the time to waste

looking for a working hydrant.

Big shock.

She said the city
can't find the money

to keep replacing them.

- Wait till you see
what Kylie found online.

- It's a video that
I found on a few forums.

- What is it?

- Just watch.

Wait for it.

[suspenseful music]

[tires squealing]

- Whoa!

What the hell?
- Right?

It's like an instructional
video on how to steal hydrants.

- Yeah, and someone commented

saying that they sold
a bunch to a scrapyard

for a hundred bucks each.

- Well, did he say which yard?

- No, but other users are
bragging about doing it, too,

and making even more money.

- If word gets out...

- Well, maybe it already did.

The water lady said that there
have been more hydrants stolen

in the last month
than there have been

in the entire last year.

- Can you find out
who posted the video?

- It's all anonymous.

- Let's catfish the guy,
like we did with Javi's bike.

- Yeah, cause that
worked out so well.

- Maybe it's not the thieves
that we should be going after.

If those lowlifes,
they can't sell the hydrants,

they won't be stealing them.

We just gotta shut down these
yard guys from paying out.

Kylie, Google all
the scrapyards in the area.

Engine's going out on a run.

- Copy that.

- Cole gone?

- Yeah, it's kind
of crazy how fast

we fell right back into it.

And I have a favor to ask you.

So he's working
most of this trip,

trying to set up
one of his gyms.

But he has tomorrow night off,

and I am working behind
the bar at Molly's,

so I figured
the three of us can go,

and you can hang with him
when I get busy.

You know,
get to know each other.

- [clicks tongue]
Might not be the best idea.

- What do you mean?

- Well, Cole's pretty angry--

at me.

Says I've been keeping you
from seeing your family.

- What?

That's crazy.

I--it's been a long time
since I have seen them,

but that--why turn it on you?

- I don't know.

But I can handle it.

- Yeah, maybe you can,
but I can't.

taking a deep bite

with the cutter
to act as a hinge point.

- On the A,
which is the A-post.

- Exactly.

- Which runs all the way
down to the rocker panel.

- So making a relief cut
on the A at the rocker--

- Means cut the A-post
low at the floor

to hinge the dashboard
and steering wheel

so the ram can push it up

That makes total sense.

Fire marshal just did
a walk-through last week.

- No, no, no, no.

We're not here

Listen, you happen to ever
buy old fire hydrants?

- Well, uh,
that'd be illegal, so no.

If anyone brings one in,
I turn them away.

- You know any other yards
that might?

- Not offhand. Why?

- 'Cause fire hydrants are
disappearing all over the city.

We're trying
to track them down.

I'd look into which yards

have been fined lately
for accepting hazardous waste

and city property,
like street signs.

- You get those too?

- [scoffs]
All the time.

Street signs, AC coils,

wire from old buildings
and job sites.

But I send them all packing.

Scrap thieves are
bad for business.

Only leads to more oversight.

I got big city contracts.

It ain't worth the risk.

- Hey, thanks for the tip.

- Yeah, you didn't
hear it from me.

- Copy.

- So who do we call
about those fines?

- Uh, well,
I doubt that anybody

is gonna admit to a couple
of uniformed firefighters

that they're breaking the law

and they're looking
for some extra fines.

- What if we go undercover?

- Pretending to be
scrap thieves?

You and me?

I drive a minivan with a bumper
sticker that says "soccer dad."

Did she just thank me
for having a hot cousin?

- Captain!
- Yeah?

- It worked.

I just drove past our hydrant,
and it was gone.

- Huh.

Maybe that thief really
does live nearby.

- You'll never guess
where it is now.

Remember Mr.
"I got city contracts.

I don't mess
with fire hydrants"?

- It got sold to that guy?

Holy smokes.

These guys,
they don't mess around.

Come on,
let's go loop in the chief.

- All right,
let's say Kidd orders you

to "grab the persuader."

What do you do?

- Grab the leverage bar
for more torque.

- Or, depending on the task,
she may want the sledgehammer

for more strike force.

- Then why not just say
"get the sledgehammer"?

Why make it more confusing
than it has to be?

It doesn't sound as cool.

Your dinner with Dwayne
last night, how'd it go?

- We never had dinner.

Because he broke up
with me on the sidewalk.

- Oh, man,
I'm sorry to hear that.

- Yeah, and I just stood there
and watched him walk away.

I didn't say a word.

- Maybe you let him go
because part of you

knew it wasn't working.

- My last couple breakups,
I left feeling relieved.

But with Dwayne, I just--

I don't know.

- Look, in my experience,
these things

that feel like
a punch in the gut,

sometimes they point you
in the right direction.

I do have a few out back.

We re-installed this
hydrant yesterday, except...

We put a tracker in it.

you mentioned from the city,

it's probably forged.

a federal crime.

Looking forward to it.

Okay, you see?

I told you these things
could come in handy.

the CFD is gonna put one

in every hydrant, do you?

for new boot strings.

But the hydrant thieves, they
don't need to know about that.

the city can catch up

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Dale Andrews, right?

New city treasurer.

Engine 51, Battalion 25.

wondering why, um,

I got this hose on my shoulder.

about to tell me.

hundreds of fire hydrants

around the city are missing.

And we need the money
to replace them,

or we can't do our job.

call my office tomorrow,

and we'll take care of--
- No, no.

probably wondering,

a few hundred hydrants out
of 47,000 all over the city?

What's the big deal?

But here's the thing.

What if that hydrant
was outside your house

or your kid's school?

I mean, your daughter,
she goes to Grandview, right?

- Hang on.

- No, no, it's a great school.

But by no fault of their own,

there are two hydrants
around that campus,

and they're missing.

And if there's a fire, we
gotta pull these heavy hoses

and five more just like it
an additional 300 feet.

And that is like trying to pull
a Buick down a football field.

You wanna try it?

- [grunts]

[soft dramatic music]

- Good hands.
- It's okay, we're fine.

So tell me, how much
will it take to replace

all those missing hydrants?

- Well, I'm not
a numbers guy like you.

But every hydrant we replace
could save a life.

So you tell me--

what it really made me think

is that time passes by so fast.

It's crazy.

I let that family slip

There's no point now in
dwelling on what you didn't do.

is not let time pass
like that between us,

not put things off.

- I am not sure

that I want to get pregnant.

But I am sure that I want
a family with you, Kelly.
