CARINA: Okay, you should
put them in two parallel lines
- from here all the way to there.
- MAN: Yeah, I got it right here.
Alright, I know you love her,
but does she have to tell us
where to put cones in our own house?
MAYA: If I say it,
I'm an unsupportive girlfriend.
ANDY: Alright, hey, doctor number one,
doctor number two
We can figure out how to direct traffic.
Do you know how far aerosolized
saliva droplets can travel?
Do you know what causes a fire hazard?
And what do I win for knowing both?
Okay. Arrange them
how you must for safety,
but the cones should be
at least two meters apart.
Also for safety.
You know, it's pretty nice
having another M.D. around.
Maybe they'll start calling you
"Dad" instead of me.
Hey, Trav, I'm placing
the grocery order in a minute.
- Do you st
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
- God, fine. Whatever.
- Okay.
Do you still need fish sauce?
No. I found the extra bottle
that I hid for myself.
Uh, did you also happen to find
a couple of pounds of flour?
- 'Cause everywhere is out.
- Yeah, check under my bed.
Seriously?
No, you weirdo.
Look, I don't know.

Come on right now,

Ah, I'm glad you two are back
to being you two.
I felt the Earth tilt off
its axis for a second there.
Hey, um, I'm sorry if I was harsh
about the "letting it go" thing.
That wasn't really fair
No, it it was fair.
And you were right.
And I'm ready.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
I I think I'm actually ready
to move on.
Oh. Did you meet somebody?
Uh, no.
I'm just ready to, I guess.
Well, you and me both, dude.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
CARINA: Okay, so,
at the front of the garage
will be firefighter Cutler.
He will be the first point of contact
for our drive-thru patients.
Then the cars will drive
as far forward as possible
and land at one of our testers.
Carina, we should limit
the number of cars
in here at a time
to limit carbon monoxide.
Then they can turn their cars off.
We need to be efficient.
[LAUGHS] Oh!
You are scared of your girlfriend.
Scared? No. Afraid I might have
pissed her off, maybe.
Good morning, everyone. I'm
Dr. Carina DeLuca and this
Miche Michelle?
- Prima!
- Hi!
Ohhh!
What are you Are you here to test?
Yeah, Mami and Papi are
in the line, in the car.
I just I came in to warn you.
[LAUGHING] Right.
So, um, which one's Robert?
Oh, I see. You have a hidden agenda.
Prima, you have been coming to our
barbecues every Sunday since April,
and not once have you brought your man.
I met your roommate before I met him.
P.S., is she still dating the Italian?
- Because she's cute
- Okay. You know what?
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Hey, how's Marsha doing?
Yeah, n-no change.
You know, it kind of
pisses me off, all these people,
you know, who refuse to wear masks.
And then I remember that, uh,
Marsha's actually one of those people.
- God, I hate COVID.
- Yeah.
I just hope she pulls through.
And that we get lots of calls today.
Well, who needs calls when we have
a whole city of nostrils to swab?
Remind me, why are we letting
half our neighborhood into
our well-maintained bubble?
Well, we're in the middle of a pandemic,
and we're first responders,
and it's a way to help our community.
Or it's a way to let gross,
germy people into our bubble.

Sir.
At ease.
Uh, Miller, could we have a word?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, no, Hughes, you can stay.
You know my name.
You cried at me during an inspection.
You think I could forget that?
Uh, so, Miller, did you know
that our own union once sued the city
after they promoted the first
Black battalion chief?
They thought it was discrimination
against his white,
"more qualified" peers.
You know what happened?
They lost?
After years of litigation.
You disagree with the lawsuit.
Yes, it's loud and divisive
and creates further mistrust
and tension.
Our communities do not need
to be questioning
who they can turn to
in the middle of a pandemic.
They should feel safe.
I want them to feel safe, sir, pandem
Then don't make them mistrust
the very people
who are supposed to help them.
- They should mistrust them, sir.
- Okay.
What would you have your own family do
instead of calling the cops?
Community intervention, social services,
- de-escalation
- All those things
They require the cooperation
of first responders.
Now, look, I'm not saying that
things don't need to change.
I'm just saying that how you
force change, it matters.
- [CELLPHONE VIBRATES]
- You're saying play the game.
Uh, I got to go.
It's good seeing you both.
Sir.
Sir.
Maya, we have patients.
And they are being taken care of, okay?
You are snapping at everyone.
And I get being stressed.
I get if it's even residual grief.
But I would not be a good
girlfriend if I didn't ask
Are you okay?
[SIGHING] My visa is expiring,
and I might have to go back to Italy.
Wait. What? How? I-I don't understand.
When I first came here, my study
sponsored me with an H-1B visa,
and I sent in the renewal
application last month,
but the President just shut down
all immigration offices.
How can he do that?
Maya, I don't have time
to teach you about the
The screwed-up immigration laws
of this country.
I have to get back out there.
Okay, okay. Just
When?
Next month.

TRAVIS: [SIGHS] Okay.
Have you had a chance
to finish the, uh
Hi, honey.
Dad, Mom. What are you doing here?
We came to get tested.
Isn't that what everybody's doing here?
Right, but you didn't have to drive
an hour across town just to do that.
I brought my spicy beef soup.
Oh, that's great.
I couldn't get an appointment
anywhere else.
Your father needs a test.
You have a known exposure?
Well, yeah.
I mean, it's not for certain,
but a friend, you know
A friend he golfs with,
his wife tested positive.
Yeah.
A friend you golf with?
His wife has tested positive for COVID?

Go park the car and let's talk.
Oh, good, we get to go in!
It's probably not gonna be

- That you do.
- Yeah. Mwah!
- Congratulations.

- Morning.
- Hi.
I'm Robert.
Before we get started,
is all the information
on your forms accurate?
You are very tall, Robert.
It makes buying pants much harder.
- Isn't that
- Hang on.
Yes, everything is correct.
- So, Robert
- Uh-huh?
how long have you been
a a firefighter?
Do you have any hobbies
outside of rescuing kittens
or administering COVID tests?

Tia Sandra! Sister-cousin Michelle.
Tio Johnny.
Hey, I told you he'd know who we are.
- Hey, nice to finally meet you.
- Yeah.
Robert, you have very kind eyes.
- Oh.
- Muy guapo, eh?
- Ah!
- Okay!
Bilingual there, huh?
Hey, do you know where Maya is?
I just I wanted to say hi.
Maya's the other big boss.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Um
I don't know where she is.
Oh! Since when do you do laundry?
Uh, well, since when
do you clean voluntarily?
Okay, fine, you got in my head
about the germs in our bubble.
And now I can't stop picturing
the little monster things
from the, uh, soap commercial,
so thank you for that.
- It's freaking me out.
- Yeah.
- Give me one of those.
- Yeah, right?
Yeah.
Ugh.
I called my parents.
Miller.
Yeah. They came over the other day.
- Uh-huh.
- Barely apologized.
Acted like they'd known Pru her
entire life, and they hadn't.
- They'd only known her for 5 minutes.
- Okay.
Could've known her her entire life.
And I [SIGHS]
I was just happy that they were there.
You know, that they were there
to support me
and they were excited to see Pru.
My mom held her all day.
Kept sniffing her head.
Oh, God, baby-head sniffs are the best.
[SIGHS] And
And what?
And I'd practiced what I was
gonna say to them for months.
Then they show up,
say they're proud of me,
that they support me.
And I just let them.
Okay, so, you got what you wanted.
What's going on with
the emotional scrubbing?
- It's almost like this Gregory thing.
- Mm-hmm.
So, we just go along to get along.
If someone shows a little bit of effort,
then all is forgiven, business as usual.
Nothing changes.
We just shut up and get over it.
Okay. So, don't shut up.
No, your mom needs to be on that
vent to have a chance to live.
Okay? She can't breathe without it.
Don't you want her
to have a chance, man?
This will kill her!
- [RECEIVER CLICKS]
- Wait!
Hey, why are you yelling?
You know the public is here.
Marsha's son decided it's time
to give someone with better odds
a chance to survive.
What?
Yeah, he's pulling her off the vent.
[RADIO CHATTER]
She might not survive the day.
Okay.
I'm gonna hug you
even though the public is here.
[BUZZER]
Use my office.
[BUZZER]
Marcus has to pee.
Ah, ah.
[CHUCKLES]
Why was your ex-girlfriend hugging you?
Not in a jealous way,
but in a, like, "you look upset" way.
What's wrong?
JOHNNY: Be gentle with my baby.
- SULLIVAN: Ohh, don't worry.
- [LAUGHTER]
No worries.
- MICHELLE: Okay.
- Crap.

- Hi!
- How are you?

- How's it going?
Well, we're just finally meeting
your handsome esposo.
- Yeah.
- He's very tall.
Yes, Robert is tall.
Hey, Robert, it's good of you to
help out on the ground like this.
You know, a captain usually
just makes phone calls,
- you know, and gets his picture taken.
- SULLIVAN: Well, I'm I'm, uh
I'm actually not a captain anymore.
He's a battle chief.
No, a battalion

Thank you!
Americans don't know how
to follow the rules, do they?
They know how.
They just don't want to do it.
Kinda like Italians.
- [CHUCKLES]
- I'm sorry. I'm a little on edge.
Yeah, you and every other doctor I know.
It's a brutal time.
[SIGHS] I dream in PPE.
Well, Miranda woke up in
the middle of the night choking
because she thought she was
being intubated.
At the hospital where I did
my residency, Paolo Calvino,
it's in the middle of the hot zone.
They have intubated patients
sitting in tents in parking lots
because the ICUs are full.
Doctors are getting sick.
They don't have enough nurses.
Even firefighters are getting
asked to staff the hospitals.
And this is where we're headed
if Americans don't start
taking this seriously.
Well, you thinking about going
home, you know, to help?
That's a very complicated
question right now.

DISPATCH: Engine 19, Ladder 19,
Aid Car 19.
Two-car motor vehicle crash,
Railroad Avenue.
- That's me.
- No, no, you're my partner.
And the only person here who likes me.
Oh, that's not true.
Look, Bishop likes you.

[KLAXONS SOUND]
- PAUL: Does that mean you need to go?
- TRAVIS: Nope.
Hey, Mom, I got to ask Dad
some questions
about contact-tracing stuff.
Will you sit right here on this bench?
And then I'll bring you a test, okay?
That smells so good, Mom.
You know who's gonna love that, is Vic.
She's gonna go crazy!
Tell me how you were exposed.
Like I said, my golfing friend.
Except if you were actually
playing golf,
you would be fine.
You'd be outside wearing masks.
It doesn't require close contact.
But you weren't playing golf,
Dad, were you?
Do you realize how unfair
this is to Mom?
Your secret not only puts your
own personal health at risk,
now you're putting her at risk, too.
It was golf, Travis.
I'll be more careful next time.
Are you at least wearing a glove
when you're hitting the balls?
Is it the one golf buddy, or is
it a different one every time,
- whoever wants to play?
- Watch your tone, Travis.
Yes, it's always the same friend.
♪♪
Dad, then
why not just be with that one friend
if that's what makes you happy?
Because your mother makes me happy.
Because she's my best friend,
my partner,
and I love her very much.
Well, if Mom is your best friend,
you may have to give her
the chance to love you
for who you are.

what I'm supposed to do.
That's Wow.

WOMAN: Help!
Captain!
Help us, please!
Whoa. How did that happen?
We can't move!

We need two additional aid cars
and USAR ASAP.
You're the newlyweds.

Hey, guys, my name is Andy.
How are you both feeling?
Any lightheadedness
or shortness of breath?
Well, we're in a clown car
that didn't have a backseat
until about 10 minutes ago,
so [CHUCKLES]
We're both breathing.
Okay, that's good. That's really good.

Yes, the team outside is the very best,

My name is Karissa,

Okay, Shayne, can you feel
your toes in your left leg?
- A little, yes.
- Alright, good.

I'm gonna lower your seat.
That other car was
riding our back bumper
and it just swerved around us.
They must have hit a pothole
or something,
and then a ramp fell out the back.
And they just slammed on their brakes.
I tried to brake, too, but there
was no time, and we just

Now, here's a twist on your
garden-variety MVC.
Chief Gregory.
Was another company called?
'Cause I have control of the scene.
The department can't
afford the possibility
of any more lawsuits,
so until things settle down,
they asked that I oversee your calls.
- You mean babysit.
- I mean oversee.
Sir, I had no idea it was
causing such an issue.
Yeah, well, that much is evident.
Look, there are looky-loos
gathered there.
You're gonna need some crowd control.

When I first joined the F.D.,
it was me and Harris,
and that was it.
Only Black guys in the whole department.
The other guys in my own house,
they refused to sleep in beds
if they thought that
I had slept in them,
and my own crew would break mugs
after I'd used them.
So, how'd you not walk out?
Well, I fantasized about it a lot,
even came close a few times,
but then I finally got promoted.
[CHUCKLING] Oh, Miller,
i-if you could have seen
the look on their faces
at the realization that I was
gonna be their boss now.
And also the respect some of them showed
for sticking it out, promoting up.
I'm not saying it was all worth it
or that everything was perfect
after that,
but looking at you,
looking at 19,
I went through hell to get
to where I am,
Miller, to get you all here with me.
I walked through fire.
I know, sir.
I'm not saying you didn't.
I know you walked through fire.
I'm just saying that
we shouldn't have to anymore.

serial-killer vibes.
Oh, she definitely gave me
serial-killer vibes.
- And I fell for her instantly.

So we went on a first real date,
and three months later,
the pandemic hit,
so we decided to quarantine together.
At first, it was just so we'd

Last year, before you guys
moved in, uh, Marsha
She bought this bird.
I just thought she could
talk to it or something.
She's afraid of birds.
Which she didn't know until
she cleaned out his cage
for the first time, and I come over
and hear her screaming
from down the hall, you know.
I run in and she's flailing
around the apartment
because the bird is flying after her.
[LAUGHS]
She runs into her bedroom,
slams the door.
After about a second,
the door flies open
and she comes running out again,
screaming again
because she had locked herself
in the room with the bird.
