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.

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.

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?

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.

Help, there's
a woman trapped inside!

Carver, Ritter, get the jaws.

Chippy, block off traffic.
- Copy.

Hey, Clarence!
Grab the crosslay!

All right, Kylie,
hook up to the hydrant!

Hurry up!
- Copy.

Hang on.

We're gonna get you
out of here, okay?

We gotta move fast.
It's a hybrid.

Hang on.
We're gonna get you out.

Carver.
- On it.

Right there. Let's go.

All right.

This is
jammed tight, Lieutenant.

All right,
let's get that water!

Okay, let's go.

Be ready to soak it

if that lithium battery
ignites, all right?

Hey, Kylie, did you
make that hydrant yet?

It's not there.
There's no hydrant.

We only got
500 gallons in the tank.

How much time
does that give us?

About two,
three minutes, tops!

Let's go!

All right, 51!

Let's go! Lead out!

Estevez, hook up
to the hydrant!

Hang in there.

And got it!

Let's go!

Hang on.

- Got it.
- Yep.

Lieutenant, she is
pinned in pretty bad.

Hey, we're gonna
get you out now.

Okay? What's your name?

Okay, we gotta get her
to the medics.

Should we open up the roof?

It'll be faster
to roll the dash.

So, Carver, set the ram.

Ritter, make a relief cut
on the A at the rocker.

Sorry, Lieutenant,
where do you want the cut?

Ritter, grab the ram!

Carver, you make the cut.
Let's go!

Copy that.

Herrmann, how we doing
on that water?

You make that hydrant yet?

Yeah, we found one about
300 feet down the street.

But we're still stretching
the supply line.

All right. Just hurry!

The engine tank is drying up!

Come on.

All right, we're good.
Grab the ram.

All right. Hang in there.
We're almost there.

- Got it.
- Okay, hang on.

We're gonna get you out now.

Should we call in
a second engine?

No, that'll take
even more time.

All right, make the connection.

You've got water
coming your way!

- Copy that.
- Let's go.

All right. On three.

One, two, three.

All right, we're clear!

All right, get on that pipe!

Give it all you got!

There you go.

Go, hit it.

There you go.

Ma'am, can you tell us
where it hurts?

Do you know what day
of the week it is?

Pulse is only
slightly elevated.

Pupils are equal
and reactive.

No signs of a head injury.

Doesn't seem like
a concussion either.

Yeah.
- Wait!

That--that's my mom!

What happened? Is she okay?

- Hang on.
- Is she okay?

Hey, hey,
take it easy, all right?

They're taking
real good care of her.

She has dementia.

She's not supposed
to be driving.

Okay.

Patrick, am I going home now?

No, we're taking you
to the hospital

to make sure you're okay.

You wanna ride
with us, Patrick?

Okay, yeah. Thanks.

I was in the other room
for less than five minutes.

Okay, but you're
here now, right?

Tell me something.

How'd you know
where to find her?

Her, uh--her wristband.

It's a GPS tracker.

All right. Go, get in.

Cindy punished me with a flip
phone for tracking our kids.

But this is proof that
it can come in handy.

Yeah, not the same.

Hey, Lieutenant.
Can we talk?

What's on your mind?

I just wanted to say
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,

and you will get there.

Stella Bella!

Cole?

Cole.
Oh, I can't believe this!

God, you're so
grown up and tall.

And not as large as
you remember, right?

Well--

Yeah, nobody calls me
"Heavy C" anymore.

I started working at a gym
right after high school.

Personal trainer now.

- Get out!
- Mm-hmm.

It's been--15 years?

Yeah.

I guess a lot can happen.

No doubt.

I mean, look at you.

I did not see
firefighter coming.

Oh, yeah.
Tell me about it.

So, how is Noah?

How's Aunt Laverne?

Oh, they're doing good.

Moms almost lost
her mind when I said

that I was coming to see you.

She sends all of her love.

Good.

I send it all right back.

Yeah.

Uh, leave your suitcases.

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.

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.

I don't control her.

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.

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.

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.

So relief cut goes here,
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
and away from the victim.

That makes total sense.
- Yeah.

Sorry.

Just gotta check this.

Mm-hmm.

Good news?

Yeah.

Uh, Dwayne wants to grab
dinner tomorrow night,

and he made reservations
somewhere fancy.

I guess I'm finally
out of the doghouse.

What's going on here?

Chief, sorry,
we should have asked.

Carver was teaching me an
advanced extrication technique.

- Which one?
- Rolling the dash.

As long as you weren't
cutting the brakes.

Have you noticed that
Chief Pascal can have

some pretty dark thoughts?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, hope you guys
didn't cross your wires.

Fire marshal just did
a walk-through last week.

No, no, no, no.

We're not here
for an inspection.

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.

Listen, if I were you,
I'd look into which yards

have been fined lately
for accepting hazardous waste

and city property,
like street signs.

You get those too?

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."

And you--
you scream Girl Scout.

So we gotta find a way to
come at them from the side.

Hey, back me up, eye cream is
not supposed to burn, right?

Ooh, burning, no.

Tingling, maybe?

I am not taking any chances--

3:00 a.m. doomscroll purchase.

What the hell was that?

That was Capp.

Ambulance 61,
person injured.

796 Clark Street.

Clark Street, huh?

I'm guessing bar fight.

I'm going with drunken
fall in high heels.

Make way.

Medics coming through.
Hey, move it!

Thank you.

Come on, move it!

Ooh.

Uh...

You wanna tell
us what happened?

I thought it'd be funny
smashing her face in the cake.

I--I didn't know they put
something inside to hold it up.

Aliza, I'm so sorry!

Please, just take it out!

Please! It hurts!

Well, we can't
remove it here.

But we're gonna secure it
and get you to Med,

where a doctor can safely
remove it for you, all right?

- I'll do it myself.
- No!

Pulling it out could
do a lot more damage.

Please, just let us handle it.

I can't take this anymore.

You know what?

We may be able
to remove it here.

Just lower your jaw for me
slowly so I can see inside.

Okay, it didn't puncture
the sinus cavity.

It just went through
the upper gums.

Is that good?

Yeah, we can remove
it here if it'll

make you more comfortable.

We just need verbal permission.

Do it.

Okay, let's grab some gauze.

Try not to move.

And if it hurts too much,
we'll stop.

Ready?

On three--one, two, three.

Okay, clear.

That's okay.

That's just a
little bit of blood

at the back of your throat.

We can use some more 4x4s.
- Yep. Copy.

All right, that should
stop the bleeding.

Let's get you to Med.

Let's go.

I spoke to my lieutenant
at 37,

and everyone there is on board.

Really? I mean,
that's a pretty big ask.

They're willing
to make the sacrifice

and know it might be
a suicide mission.

Not on my watch.

No man left behind.

- Meet you there?
- Ah, right behind you.

Captain Herrmann,
I'm glad I caught you.

What are you up to
on Friday night?

Well, that depends
if it's work related

or if you're offering me
tickets to the Blackhawks game.

There's a fundraiser
with

a bunch of white shirts
I need to attend.

My wife's out of town.

I figured you might wanna come.

Well, it'll give you
a chance to rub elbows

with the other white shirts,
see what you're

signing up for as a chief
one day.

Ah.

Well, I should go then.

I'll send you the details.

Yeah.

Thanks, Chief.

You got it.

Oh, good morning.

Why would you say
something like that to Kelly?

Look, I just call it
the way I see it, Stella.

You see what?

Cole, you do not get to roll
into my life out of the blue

and act like you know
what the hell is going on.

What I know is
that you wouldn't

do something like abandon this
family as if we were nothing.

You wouldn't, right?

So the only thing
that makes sense

is that Kelly has something
to do with it, at least

for the last ten years he does.

No, he does not.

It's all me, Cole.

I don't get it, Stella.

Why?

I guess I just have
been so embarrassed

about that time in my life,
just being with Grant

and the drug spiral.

It took over everything
after high school, and--

That stuff was
a long time ago.

I know, I know.

But...

I always appreciated
you reaching out to me.

I just--

I figured it was more of an
obligation for you, you know?

Like, why would you wanna
see me after all that?

Because we're family, Stella.

We're always gonna be family.

Hey.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

All right, so this
is the spot, huh?

Yeah, the most stolen
hydrant in Chicago--

five times in five years.

Wow.

They just replaced it
on Tuesday,

and by Wednesday morning,
it was gone.

What?

They got, like, a hydrant thief
living on the block?

Okay.

Ah, it's the Bears' colors.

Oh, yeah, they had it
on the app floor at 37,

like, ever since I started.

Where'd they get it from?

It was decommissioned.

The city let them keep it.

Ah.

Let's go.

Let's get this
fastened up, and--

there we go--

Okay.

See if somebody
takes the bait.

We'll be ready.

See ya tomorrow.

Guess I should make my move.

- Good luck.
- Mm.

Peace offering.

I screwed up.

That's not necessary.

But I won't say no to a beer.

Stella wouldn't let me
pay for them,

so it's a pretty
half-assed offering.

I should have known
it wasn't on you.

Ah, it's all good.

Sounds like
a complicated situation.

And I know how important
your family is to her.

Yeah.

I wanna hear what it was like
growing up with Stella Kidd.

Oh, there are tales to tell.

I just looked at her as
the coolest big sister ever.

I followed her around
like a puppy.

She was, what, 12 when
she moved in with you guys?

Yeah, uh, right after
her parents died.

And Stella tried to be tough,

but, um, there was a lot
of hurt there, you know?

My mom showered love
on that girl.

Tried to help her through
the pain as best she could.

Laverne's like a hero,
a real hero to her.

She is, to all of us.

But after she had Noah,
she got hit pretty hard

with postpartum depression.

You know, she couldn't
get out of bed most days.

It was Stella
that stepped up then.

She took care of my mom,
she took care of me,

she took care of Noah, since
my dad was always working.

Damn.

Yeah.

Yeah, Stella got us through it.

And I mean, look at her now.

A whole boss, right?

Aw, you waited
in the cold for me?

Uh-oh.

You're still mad?

I'm not mad.

You still disappointed?

Let's just go inside.

Wait, hold on. What?

What's going on?

Remember how freaked out
you were on our second date

when I told you I wanted
you to meet my parents?

Yeah, that was
our second date.

I think the jury
would be on my side.

Yet we've been dating a year,
and you won't even

consider moving in with me.

Hey, I considered it.

- Darren.
- What? I did.

Is this about the parents
I've already met?

Or is this about
our living situation?

Where do you see us
in five years?

Are we still living apart?

Or are we married?
- Whoa.

Because these are things
I want with someone eventually.

And I was honest about it
from the start.

I just want you
to be honest with me.

But I have been honest.

When I said that
I didn't want us

to move in together right now,

that was me being
brutally honest.

I guess we just
want different things.

If you can't see
a future together,

we shouldn't be together.

So do we think Cole
made it home last night?

He left with Tony, Capp, Novak,
and a bunch of rowdy peeps

right before bar time.

I think I heard him
come in around 3:00.

Good for him.

Mm, should we wake him up?

I wanna make sure we say
goodbye before he leaves.

- Yeah, do it.
- Okay.

Oh, he's already up.

Cole!

Hi.

Uh, I was just
gonna bolt, but I--

that seemed weird.

So I figured I might just
say good morning first.

Which might be weirder.

No, not at all.

Or maybe, yeah.

I don't know.
- Want some coffee?

No, I gotta run.

But I'll see you
at the firehouse.

Thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

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?

I don't know.
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.

Hey, you remember us?

Yeah, sure. Stolen hydrants.

Yeah, well, now we're
looking for one in particular.

Mind if we take
a look around?

If it's hydrants
you're looking for,

I do have a few out back.

I thought you said
you don't buy any.

Not from random strangers.

But like I said, I do work
for city contractors,

and one comes in now and then.

Show us.

Okay. This way.

Here they are.

Well, Captain, you find
what you're looking for?

Hey, what's that smell?

Paint thinner?

You didn't waste any time
stripping the colors

off of that, did you?

It would been
too easy to identify.

I have signed
letters of approval

from the city on all of these.

Uh-huh. Guess what.

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

We put a tracker in it.

It was stolen yesterday.

Which means you're lying.

And that paperwork that
you mentioned from the city,

it's probably forged.

Which is also
a federal crime.

So you tell your pals
we're putting trackers

in the hydrants
all across the city.

Are you kidding me?

Come on, man.

Thanks for helping
out with this.

Ah, you kidding?

I mean, we can't
give this thing

back to those guys
stripped naked.

I'm actually surprised
they let us borrow it at all.

They think it's some kind
of good luck charm.

Well, if the Bears make
the Super Bowl next year,

we get to take all the credit.

- Oh, Herrmann.
- Yeah?

Don't forget about
the fundraiser tomorrow night.

And wear your dress blues.

Okay, copy that, Chief.

Looking forward to it.

Okay, you see?

I told you these things
could come in handy.

You don't really think
the CFD is gonna put one

in every hydrant, do you?

We can barely afford funding
for new boot strings.

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

Well, maybe now
the city can catch up

with replacing them all.

Ah, that takes money,
too, and somebody

to convince these
political muckety-mucks

that it's worth doing.

So we heard
about you and Dwayne.

We're so sorry.

Carver told you?

No, he thought--well,
he thought we already knew,

which, not to make
this about us--

I'm still processing.

Okay, that's it.

We are taking you out tonight.

Thanks.

I'm more in the
"go home, get in bed,

and listen to Sam Smith
on repeat" kind of mood.

You don't need
to mope around alone.

What you need is
bottle service.

She's right.

It is the most effective
post-breakup therapy

that there is.

Mm-hmm.

How did you guys
find this place?

I like the vibe.

Novak and I were
here the other night

for a birthday party.

And the manager
gave us his card

and said to come back any time
for a VIP treatment!

both:
Whoo!

I invited Carver to join.

I wanted to buy him a round
as a thank you.

But he said he had plans.

I don't know.
I didn't hear anything.

Well, you got us.

Mm!

Novak, come on.
- Hey, no more.

No more of those.
I'm--

No, one more!

- No, I--
- One more!

- One more!
- I'm a paramedic!

This is my breakup shot.

Let's go.
- Okay.

Ugh, okay.

Whoo!

You here for the meeting?

Mm-hmm.

Straight back
and up those stairs.

Thanks.

Hey.

Ooh.

You know, if there
isn't a section

on small talk for the chief's
test, there ought to be.

Well, the--the trick
is to ask questions

and let them do the talking.

And, well, the new
city treasurer just arrived.

Weren't you looking for him?

Finally.

And, yes, I was.

I'll be back in a moment.

Excuse me.

Coming through.

Pardon me, coming through.

Sorry.

Hey, Dale?

Dale Andrews, right?

New city treasurer.

That's correct.
And you are?

Captain Christopher Herrmann,
Engine 51, Battalion 25.

And I, uh, I bet you're
wondering why, um,

I got this hose on my shoulder.

I bet you're
about to tell me.

Yeah, well,
hundreds of fire hydrants

around the city are missing.

And we need the money
to replace them,

or we can't do our job.

Ah, okay,
call my office tomorrow,

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

But I also know you're
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?

- 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's the price of that?

Ah, I'm so happy
that Cole came.

Aunt Laverne
raised him right.

Leave a good whiskey,
you're welcome back anytime.

Yeah, and I'm glad you
gotta know him a little.

Me too.

Should we?

We should.

Cole told me about
what your aunt went through

after Noah was born.

Yeah, that was tough.

Yeah, it was like
she became a different person.

All her energy,
her sass, her spark,

it really just went out of her.

And, yes, I am sure that
has something to do with me

putting off having kids.

It's part of it, at least.

Yeah, I get it.

But seeing Cole again,

what it really made me think
about, to be honest,

is that time passes by so fast.

It's crazy.

I let that family slip
through my fingers,

and I shouldn't have.

You still have them.

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

You're right.

But what I can do

is not let time pass
like that between us,

not put things off.

Meaning?

I am not sure

that I want to get pregnant.

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

And maybe--I'm just
putting it out there--

is adoption something
that you would consider?

Opening our home
to a child who needs it?

Just--I mean, just like
Aunt Laverne did with me.

I think that sounds...

Just right.
