It was a good clinic day, I thought.
Twice the volume as the first day.
JACK: Yeah, you know, and, uh, Chief Ross wasn't here
to see my big comeback, either, so...
Well, probably too busy shutting down stations
and denying promotions.
Sorry. I'm still working on it. Almost there, I swear.
And have you thought about it yet?
Oh, about the fact that you are actually entertaining
the idea of my ex-boyfriend being our sperm donor?
- Yeah, it's all I can think about. - [CHUCKLES] Okay, okay.
I prefer to think of him as my friend,
not as your ex-boyfriend, and I know,
he's the last person I thought I'd want as our sperm donor,
but [SIGHS] we've been looking at options for months,
and nothing has felt right, and then he offered,
and it got into my brain
and I can't seem to shake it out of it.
It's just that, a couple months ago,
you didn't want me to be in the same room with him,
and now you want him to potentially be in our family.
I know. I know. It sounds crazy.
But the thought of the two of you together
used to make me want to smash dishes.
But now, honestly?
I can't imagine it. It makes me laugh.
He's a doofus. Come on.
I've been spending so much time with him
because of the clinic, and he's a little awkward,
but he's also kind and humble and smart.
And handsome. Whatever.
Do I need to be concerned about you two?
I'm only saying maybe we think about the future
and not about the past.

Chief Ross, how can I help you?
Lieutenant Sullivan, this is Captain Henderson,
a representative from the Professional Standards Unit.
I've heard good things.
Wish I could say the same.
Uh, Captain, why don't you go ahead in and say hello
to Captain Beckett and I'll join you in a moment, okay?
- [KNOCK ON DOOR] - BECKETT: Come in.
You're doing this now? In the middle of a shift?
Hey, it took me a couple of days to get the department behind me,
but I didn't want to wait any longer if he's a danger to 19.
Sully, you better be right about this.
- 'Cause if you're wrong... - I'm not wrong.
Alright.
Captain Beckett.
Chief Ross. [CLEARS THROAT]
So, the department just has a few questions
- about your recent performance. - Uh-huh.
The pipeline explosion which resulted in the death
of two firefighters...
Is still under investigation by the city.
But you made the call to leave your post
and go on foot, is that correct?
I left Incident Command to Chief McCallister,
as more hands were needed,
just like any good firefighter would do.
And the incident with the engine at the Phoenix fair?
BECKETT: [CHUCKLES] Do you have eyes in the back
of your head at all times, Chief?
What about the candy factory fire?
You had the schematics wrong.
I was working off of a hand-drawn map.
[SIGHS]
Respectfully, Chief, you say you're direct, so, please, be direct.
I recently had an anonymous tip with concern
that you have been drinking on the job.
- Hmm. - After asking you a few questions,
I don't think that's an unfounded concern.
Thank you.
You will need to submit a urine sample.
Captain Henderson will escort you to the restroom
to witness the sample, and then he will escort you home,
where you will remain until the results come in.
Permitting you're clean, you can come back to your shift.
Is this clear, Captain?
Is that how we're gonna play this?
The department takes accusations of this nature very seriously.
Are we clear, Captain?
I'm not leaving my team mid-shift
and having them wonder why.
I'll stay here. You can even send in a babysitter.
Fine.
But once you give us the sample, you're not to leave this room
until the results come in.
Please escort Captain Beckett to the restroom.

I'm sorry Chief Ross isn't reinstating you, Bishop.
You're sorry? You're the reason I got demoted in the first place.
Are we rehashing this now, Bishop?
- No. Sorry, Lieutenant. - It's Captain today.
Sorry, Captain.
Yeah.
Uh, dude, I know you're hurting.
Like, you feel like you got something taken away from you...
Something you love.
I mean, trust me, I get it. I mean, this pact with Andy...
Okay, not letting yourself have sex is not the same thing
as losing your career, Jack.
Uh, we are both giving up things we love, huh?
Sex and winning.
[CHUCKLES]
Look, all I'm saying is, don't let your frustrations
get you in even more trouble than you're already in, okay?
You know, it doesn't matter.
Chief hates me. There's no way I'm gonna rise again.
Hey.
If there's anyone I know who can get knocked down
and then get back up again, it's you.

Yeah.
Knowing what you want and fighting for yourself,
I like that in a woman.

The voters of Seattle are not going to elect a man
who has a record of public corruption.
DIXON: Bleeding hearts only bleed until crime shows up
on their doorstep or the homeless set up camp on their street.
Then they clamor for law and order, and that's me.
Good luck winning votes by attacking the fire department.
I'll show them that it's out of control,
that it's cowed to the woke mob.
Instead of focusing on fire safety,
it's treating homeless crazies,
paying for a roving knife-mobile,
and operating a free clinic.
You know, those programs save lives.
We show up and provide quality care to the community,
and we do it unarmed and without a threat.
So, you guys gonna have some cake, or...
DIXON: That money could be better used
to increase public safety.
Talking about PD, right?
Because you guys need more money?
Whereas we could use the money for mental health services
or making the streets safer or
- expanding public transportation. - Please, spare me your "defund
- the police" propaganda. - What else do you guys need?
What are you missing? A couple of tanks
- and a battle ship? - Trav...
Since when do you care about saving lives?
Didn't you just let a guy light himself on fire
during one of your crisis calls?
Actually, we saved that man from killing himself.
Yeah, and humiliated my son in the process.
Trav, just stop, okay? It's not worth it.
Come on, Montgomery.
You've been in FD for what, a decade?
You're clearly a career firefighter
who lacks any ambition to climb to the top,
which seems to stem from some lack of commitment
to something or someone other than himself.
- Dick. - Dad.
Or maybe... you just prefer to stay in the shallow end,
where nobody expects anything of you.
Yeah.
As opposed to you,
who continually fails his way upward.
You are not a leader.
You are a mediocre company man
who thinks power is gained by grinding down
everyone around him.
Even your own son hates you.
- Travis. - Trenton.
My son was on a path, and you took him off that path.
He wasn't even gay till he met you...
What? No. Travis didn't make me gay.
Nobody makes anybody gay.
...and now he's a laughingstock.
The only laughingstock in this room is you.
If I'm a laughingstock, it's 'cause you're my father.
- What? - No. Do it.
Look, Trav, I don't need you to fight this fight
- for me, okay? - Clearly you do
because it's the first time tonight
that you've actually stood up to him.
Oh, wow. [CHUCKLING] Oh, wow.
See? There it is.
That's how you think of me.
No. That's not...
- Mmm. - Oh, you're not even gonna heat it up?
You're not worried about, like, salmonella?
I just inhaled smoke from a lithium battery fire.

- They do not get to steal my joy. - [LAUGHTER]
I feel I owe you all an explanation.
I wasn't on the call because earlier this evening,
I was accused of drinking on the job.
They were baseless accusations, of course,
and I came out clean, because I do not drink on the job.
However, I have it on pretty good authority
that it was someone in this firehouse... not saying who...
That submitted the tip.
And while I thank you [CLEARS THROAT]
While I thank you for your concern, I can't help but think,
how can I expect my team to follow me into a fire
if they don't even think I can get through a puny 24-hour shift
without taking to the bottle?
So [CLEARS THROAT] in order to ensure your safety
and the safety... of your community,
I think it's best for all of us that you get in fighting shape.
But what's hap... What's happening?
What's happening is intervals.
In the barn. Right now.
N-Now?
But, sir, it's... It's almost midnight.
- Been going all day. - We haven't even finished dinner yet.
You don't want to be the last one out, Bishop,
if your captain's a drunk.
Sir, um, none of us accused you of drinking on the job.
No, you don't know that to be true, Warren.
One of you did. Until that one of you
comes forward and admits you made false claims,
then... intervals.
Now!

- I'll give you two a moment, okay? - Thanks.
I'm really sorry.
I should've let you stand up for yourself.
You said I reminded you of your dad.
Well, it turns out, you remind me of mine.
I think we both know that we shouldn't be together, Trav.
But, uh, I think we're both just so afraid of letting go.
I mean, you... you told everyone in a two-block radius
that you didn't want to be with me and I just...
came running right back to you like a... sad little puppy.
Just like I do with... my dad.
I, uh... I applied to an art program.
In Florence.
I didn't tell you 'cause I didn't think I'd get in,
and... and things were weird between us at that time,
but, uh... I got in.
That's amazing.
Yeah, yeah. I honestly can't believe it.
Why? Your work's incredible.
You don't have to be nice to me now.
I guess, um, I can't believe I even applied.
You know, it's so unlike me.
Emmett, you are one of the most beautiful,
amazing, generous, bravest souls
I've ever been lucky enough to know.
I wish you treated me like it.
But... I wouldn't have got this far
if you hadn't been in my life, so...
I guess I have to thank you.
I am so sorry for... so much.
You should go.
