Love is in the Air
1
BLAIR: It's not an offer, it's a deal.
They can't do that.
Well, call them back and tell them that.
(sighs) Hi.
(exhales)
(sighing)
(people exclaiming)
MAN: Whoa, look at that.
Griffin? Oh, my (laughs)
Blair,
I know I'm always asking you
to jump with me on the weekends,
but you can stop worrying about that.
All I want you to do
is take this lover's leap.
You know, we've been a hell of
a team for the last two years.
But it's time to make it official.
Blair Andrews,
will you marry (grunts)
(Blair screams)
(Griffin screaming)
Dragged how, ma'am?
He jumped off a building to propose,
and his parachute got caught by a car.
Can you describe the vehicle?
Um, it's a pickup, there's a man
in it, he's wearing black.
That's a bank robber.
How do you know that?
All units, all units,
we have a 211 in progress
at the Cal-Am Bank in Cal Plaza.
- Units are arriving now.
- Oh
727-L-30 in pursuit.
(grunting)
Hey!
(grunting)
You got nowhere to go. Pull over.
(truck horn honks)
They gave you decoy money.
You're wasting your time.
(honks horn)
(honks horn)
Door.
Get him out of here
so I can arrest his sorry ass.
(gasping, groaning)
Can you hear me, sir?
- Can you tell me your name?
- Griffin.
Where's Blair? Where is she?
Griffin, I need you
to look at me right now.
Breathing is good. Pulse is strong.
Do you know what year it is, Griffin?
The year my life changes
forever. Where the hell is she?
Pupils reactive. Let's get
this helmet off of him.
(Griffin sobs)
Steady. On three, ready?
One, two, three.
All right, we're gonna get
a splint on this, Griffin,
after we give you
something for the pain.
Morphine's going in.
I just want Blair.
Here you go.
(grunts)
Griffin, are you
experiencing muscle spasms?
Your hand is locked.
You held on to that ring,
Griffin. That's really awesome.
BLAIR: Griffin!
Here she comes.
Griffin, I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.
Blair. Will you
(crying): Yes. Yes. Oh
All right, let's go.
You can ride with him
if you want, ma'am.
Do I have to?
I mean, I had to say yes, right?
He jumped off a fricking
building for me.
You were gonna say no?
People change
when you put a ring on it.
I liked us how we were.
So, what do you want to do?
I guess I'll wait a few months,
and then break it off.
I heard a proposal gone wrong
can scar a guy for life.
Yeah. I heard that, too.
Oh, give me a break.
(sirens wailing)
HEN: Ooh, I'm so looking
forward to this time off.
Denny's on a sleepover with Nathaniel.
Karen and I are going to have
ourselves a staycation.
What's the plan?
Curl up on the couch and watch nothing
but television that's bad for us.
Well, isn't all television bad for you?
EDDIE: That sounds awesome.
I got to figure out how to say no
to another date my tía set me up with.
Why don't you just
download a dating app?
I did, but I can't
- bring myself to open it.
- RAVI: Hey, guys,
before you leave, city wants us
to get new parking permits.
- Annoying, but it's procedure.
- BOBBY: All right,
fill them out, leave them on my
desk, and I'll expedite them.
Really gonna work another double, Chim?
I live here now.
Oh, we love having Chim on the B-side,
or, as we like to call it, the A+ side.
Ravi here is the double-shift king.
- Maybe not for long.
- RAVI: Well, I have an excuse.
I'm saving up to buy property.
Oh, nice. Uh, your first condo?
My third apartment building.
What? That's how you build
generational wealth, right?
Or an empire.
CHIM: Yeah, well, as soon as I
cover the deductible
on this insurance claim
I'm putting in, I'm donezo.
Chim
The ring is gone. I can be sad about it,
but I'll be even sadder
if I eat the cost of a missing diamond.
So get the insurance money.
Then buy a new ring and propose.
There's really no reason
why you shouldn't, Chim.
Unless you plan on buying a duplex.
Guys, I appreciate
what you're trying to do.
But the ring is gone.
It's a sign from God,
from Sauron, I don't know.
But I'm going to heed the
warning. It's time to move on.
(phone rings)
Hello?
CHIMNEY: Hey, good morning.
Morning, how was your shift?
I mean, your first shift.
Delightful. How's yours going?
MADDIE: I am trying
to psych myself up for mine.
I got the whirling dervish
off to Grandma Lee's house,
and, as usual, she left
destruction in her wake.
Good thing we're trained for disasters.
Oh, there's no amount of training
that can prepare you for all of this,
and you somehow managed
to escape danger.
- Again.
- Yeah, sorry about that.
- You sound tired.
- Eh,
just need some coffee.
Double the shifts, triple the caffeine.
You have been taking
extra shifts lately.
Is there something
I should be worried about?
Maybe our HVAC system.
Have you heard the sound it makes
when the air conditioning kicks in?
Yeah, it's kind of like a whine.
I think it's more of a cry.
A cry for help, Maddie.
Very expensive help.
(alarm ringing)
Uh, speaking of expensive help,
I got to go.
Be safe out there. Love you.
Love you, too. Bye.
(sighs)
Uh
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.
(HVAC whining)

CHIMNEY: Hey, it's me.
Start yapping at the beep.
Hi. Hey, it's me.
Maddie. (chuckles)
You know what, I think that
I maybe butt-dialed you,
so
Also, we should probably use less AC.
Okay, bye.
(exhales softly)
Wow.
Wow.
No. No.
No. No, no, no, no.
(groans)
No, no, no, no, no.
(sighs)
No.
NATALIA: Yes! (laughs)
(Buck laughs)
Come on, that's three in a row.
You look surprised.
Almost as surprised
as I was to get your text.
Uh, really?
I feel like I came on
a little too strong last time.
Aw, come on. No way.
Uh You know, I was
trying to figure out
the perfect place to take you.
Clearly, you went for full immersion.
I mean, wow.
BUCK: Well, this seemed
as good a place as any
for you to get to know
the real Evan Buckley.
- Oh.
- LUCY: Really? I have a few stories.
Uh, Lucy.
- Hi.
- Hey, Buck, how you doing?
I'm good, I'm good.
- Natalia, this is
- Hi.
Lucy Donato. She used
to be a member of the 118,
but she moved over to Air Support.
I'm not one of the cool kids anymore.
Uh, right, 'cause rappelling
out of helicopters, that's not cool.
Mmm, you know what I think
is really cool?
Buck after a few tequilas.
Or mezcal.
I mean, some pretty crazy things
have been known to happen, am I right?
Really good to see you, Lucy.
NATALIA: So you said
you had some stories?
You know, we were actually
about to close our tab
MAN: Donato, you're up.
Oh, saved by the eight ball.
- Nice meeting you.
- You, too.
Bye, Buck.
See you. (soft chuckle)
Thank you.
Uh, hey, what do you think the tip is?
They give you three options
right down here.
- Right. (chuckles)
- Are you all right?
Uh, yeah. No. I don't know
why I-I couldn't figure it out.
You're flustered.
- Flust
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, because of Lucy?
No, that-that was never a thing.
Well, it-it was one thing
- Hmm.
- And then it was nothing.
Which thing, tequila or mezcal?
It was nothing, I promise.
Oh, I'm glad to hear that Lucy is
doing great over at Air Support.
Yeah, did-did she request
to not come back?
No, no, no, not at all. She's
just looking to get promoted.
They might have some spots
available in the upper ranks.
Captain Donato.
Knew that one was coming.
So your day off went as good as mine.
CHIMNEY: Did you get a rabies shot?
No, that would have been
more interesting.
Hiking and golfing in the
same day? Sounds like you were
out there looking for signs, too, Eddie.
You know I don't believe in that stuff.
I just want what I had
when I met Shannon.
It just happened. It was magic.
Oh, so you believe in magic.
I believe in chemistry.
Ah, it's science.
- I get it.
- BUCK: Back to magic.
Weren't you guys in
the 12th grade when you met?
Eighth, then we lost touch
and reconnected in 12th.
Okay, so that's what it is.
You-you suck at it.
All right, Buck, come on.
Come on. I mean, if he met
his wife when they were kids,
he just he hasn't really dated.
So he sucks at it.
- Yes.
- HEN: Clearly,
you've mastered it, Buck.
(honks horn)
Buck, Eddie, saws and jaws.
Although my money's on saws.
Oh, great. You're here.
Can we just keep going and you
can pull me out at the church?
I'm sorry, I don't think
that's an option.
BOBBY: Let's get that top off, guys.
- So, what's your name?
- Lois.
Lois Gilbertson.
Soon to be Mrs. Phillip Garrity.
Congratulations.
Weddings seem to be
a running theme for us lately.
LOIS: Yes, running is good.
How about some galloping?
Aren't you the captain?
I mean, it says so
- on your hat, right?
- Yeah.
You got to get me to the church.
- EDDIE: Cap.
- Yeah?
EDDIE: I'm not sure.
But it looks like termites.
No, that's dry rot.
Well, you think we can clear
enough of that away
to pull her out of there?
Afraid not. Gonna
(whispering): We're
gonna need those saws.
What?
Oh, no. Are you out of your mind?
You're not getting that
anywhere near my dress.
We have a plan for that, Lois.
Uh, ma'am Lois is it okay
if we maybe just move
your dress a little?
LOIS: Just get me out of here, please.
Ah!
CHIMNEY: Okay, Lois,
that could be a sprain.
Hold tight while I take a look.
HEN: Okay.
This is a lot of dress.
(saw whirring)
- Is this a vow renewal?
- No, it is not.
Today, I am marrying
the love of my life. Phillip Garrity.
We went steady back at Pacoima High,
a very long time ago.
Not quite horse-and-buggy time,
if that's what you're thinking, but
(chuckles) Not at all.
Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon,
and I landed my first kiss.
We went to different colleges,
promised we'd stay in touch,
- but
- You lost touch.
I was afraid.
But by the time I met the man
that was my new husband, I just, uh,
I wasn't the same person.
But we had a great life together,
and-and Phil had a lovely wife.
It's just that we found each
other recently on The Facebook,
- and we were both alone again.
- (chuckling)
And we knew. We were meant to be.
- When you know, you know.
- Mm-hmm.
BOBBY: Okay, we're clear.
- All right, on my count.
- Yeah, okay.
One, two, three.
Good, I-I'll be a little late,
but I'll still make it.
Lois, we have to
take you to the hospital
- to get you checked out.
- No.
Lois, we don't have a choice.
Yes, you do. Yes, you do.
A long time ago,
I made the wrong choice.
Yes, my life has been beautiful,
my children are gonna be there today,
but don't you see?
This is my chance.
Maybe my last chance.
You have to let me do this. You have to.
You have to let me choose love.
I can do that.
Says so on my hat.

And we're gonna get married ♪

What happened?
I'll explain later.
Let's get married.
Now, you take good care of her, Phil.
And just remember,
the first night of your honeymoon
is at the emergency room
immediately following the ceremony.
It was the only way
they'd agree to bring me.
I'll take her.
In sickness and in health, right?
(laughs)
And I'll take really good care of her
for the rest of our lives.
And we're gonna get married ♪
Now, if that's not a sign,
I don't know what is.
Gonna get married ♪

(singing Wagner's "Bridal Chorus")
CHIMNEY: Ah, all
right, all right, all right.
(knock on door)
Wow, Maddie, hey. This is a s
(sighs)
Whoa, Chimney popped the question?
No, he did not,
which answers my question,
or at least one of them.
I found this in Jee's Dollhouse.
Uh, he didn't lose it at the landfill?
- In the what?
- Back up.
If he didn't propose,
why are you wearing it?
Because I found it,
and I was looking at it,
and, you know, I tried it on.
I don't think
you're supposed to do that.
I think it might be bad luck.
Which is probably why
it's stuck, so can you help me?
Uh, yeah, sure. Come over here.
I tried, you know, olive oil,
um, taking a shower, everything.
Uh, not everything.
What are you looking for?
Ring cutter.
You have one of those at home? For what?
Uh Hmm. Other stuff.
What other stuff?
You know, forget it.
I'm not gonna cut it off
because it's my engagement ring.
Uh, technically, you're not engaged yet.
He hasn't asked, you haven't accepted.
Which brings me to my next question.
- Why didn't he ask?
- Uh, he lost the ring,
then he lost his mind.
We were on a call, we came back,
the ring was gone, he was convinced
we were hazing him.
Things got kind of tense.
I got into it with Hen.
He got into it with Hen.
Got into what?
Whether or not he should propose.
Anyway, we tore up the whole firehouse
trying to find it, but
nothing.
Hen doesn't think that
we should get married?
(stammers) It wasn't like that.
Then what was it like?
She just had some concerns, but
- No, no, M-Maddie.
- No.
Come on, Maddie.
- It's fine. I got to go.
- M-Maddie!
Dad. I'm done.
Uh, are you gonna
run errands again today?
No, and I'm sorry about that, bud.
Your project is my focus.
100 perc
Whoa. That's a lot of design work.
Chris, I'm not sure
that this mission thing's
supposed to be this involved.
- It's got to be good.
- Yeah.
What's this area right here?
Dad, that is where the
indigenous people live.
- EDDIE: Oh, right.
- What?
I think I'm gonna need
some professional help.
All right. Pretty sure kids
used to make these
out of sugar cubes.
Don't know if it was any easier, but
Well, tastier, I guess.
You know, they do have pre-fab models.
Oh, I'm aware.
- So is Chris.
- Hmm.
That boy has the heart of an engineer.
- Likes to overthink everything.
- Ah, an overthinker.
- Uh-huh.
- Apple doesn't fall very far, huh?
Yeah.
So, hiking and golfing in one day?
Okay, I'm not proud of it.
(chuckles) Eddie,
I know how hard this is.
One thing you can't do
is compare what you had
with what you think you're gonna have.
You just have to be open
to whatever comes.
Oh, plywood.
Need that for the base.
Ah.
- There you go.
- All right.
(mutters)
So how'd you make it happen
for you and Athena?
We got called to a motorcycle accident.
It was a bad one.
I wasn't at my best at the time.
Needed to take a minute.
She sat with me.
Eventually, I asked her
to go to church, and we prayed together.
Wow.
And a few days later, we had dinner,
things grew from there, and now
we're about to have
our fourth anniversary.
(chuckles) So you definitely
weren't looking for it.
When you met Shannon, how old were you?
- 14.
- How'd you make that happen?
I, uh, didn't.
Right.
They sent the police?
The paramedics are on their way, ma'am.
I just happened to get here first.
Oh, right.
They said something about that.
Are you Ella?
Yeah.
I'm just here as a matter
of procedure, Ella.
Could you tell me when he passed?
Just now.
I was doing the dishes,
and the monitor started to go off.
His heart stopped.
I think I have some paperwork
from his doctor.
ATHENA: That's okay. I see it here.
(sighs)
How long has he been under home care?
Since this morning.
I mean, they just set it up.
Nick was diagnosed with
grade three Oligodendroglioma
seven weeks ago.
Brain cancer.
Inoperable.
They hit him with everything
they could, but it was
spreading too fast,
so they decided
this was the best option.
And they left you here alone?
Well, they were gonna
order some takeout,
and I told them they
should go grab a bite.
Wait.
You think I did something to Nick
while they were gone.
Why don't we have a seat?
Ella?
I said I was here
as a matter of procedure.
Your husband's death is
what we call "unattended."
There was no medical
professional present.
Ella,
I need to advise you of your rights.
It happened so fast.
Seven weeks.
I can't imagine
what you must be feeling.
I don't mean the cancer.
It was a shock, yeah,
but everything about us
moved so crazy fast.
We only met five years ago.
Right over there.
I threw a game night.
A friend of mine invited him over.
We played Pictionary that night.
Nick is a was
a really good graphic designer,
so he was really good at it.
We felt like we were breaking the rules.
We're both big rule followers.
But hey, we won fair and square.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
We had an entire life planned and now
We never even made it
to our fourth anniversary.
I was going to get him flowers.
He hated them. (laughs)
I knew he would want them
because flowers are the official
fourth anniversary gift.
He was a rule follower.
Yeah.
I lost someone when I was about
your age.
My fiancé.
We had our whole lives ahead of us,
but it was cut short.
How long were you together?
Two years.
How did you survive?
I didn't think I could.
It seemed impossible,
like climbing a mountain
that keeps on going.
All the while,
you're carrying so much pain
that you can barely move.
And that pain is
the pain of memory. Of loss.
But you can't carry it around.
Don't make the same mistake that I did.
Cry.
Let the physical loss
hurt as much as it needs to.
But also realize that every
memory that you have of Nick
is filled with love.
It'll be with you.
You'll feel it every day,
because love never dies.
There's a needle in the top
drawer of his nightstand.
Hydromorphone. Ten cc's.
- Ella
- I couldn't do it.
We talked about it
and-and we worked it out.
It's legal in California now,
but that's not how
either of us were raised.
Rule followers till the end.
I know my rights.
You can ask me anything you want.
I'll leave that to the detectives.

Okay, I love you.
(speaks Spanish)
My mom's getting on
a plane in the morning.
I'm sorry for your loss.
The detectives will file a report,
and then they'll clear you.
Once the doctor has signed
the death certificate,
the mortuary will pick him up.
We never even got to that.
It'll be hard, but
love will see you through.
I'll miss you more than life ♪
ELLA: Thank you.

I miss you more than life. ♪
This is more my speed.
And this wine
BUCK: It's, uh, a Vermentino.
Wanted a crisp white
to stand up to the acidity
- of the tomatoes.
- Nice.
I had no idea you were a junior somm.
Well, I'm not, but the nice lady
at the wine store is.
(chuckles)
- Uh, shall we?
- Yeah.
ANCHOR: that matter most to Angelenos.
Taylor Kelly, the author of
Close to the Flame:
My Adventures with the LAFD,
is here with us tonight.
- Taylor, it's good to see you here.
- Good seeing you.
Can you tell us
what inspired you to tackle
such a fiery topic?
Well, Dwight, it's no secret
I had many adventures with the 118.
Oh, that's so cool.
Uh, yeah, very cool.
- These stories with the world.
- Up close and personal?
Can you tell us more about that?
TAYLOR: I don't want
to give away too much,
but there was one firefighter
I was exceptionally close to.
DWIGHT: Now, you have to tell us more.
Did you have a non-thing with her, too?
(sighs) Um,
maybe I'll tell you
about it over dinner.
Okay.
TAYLOR: every day as it comes,
because that's the only option.
(sighs)
So then we went back to try
and find the ring, but, you know
WOMAN (on phone): It was a landfill.
Okay, Mr. Han, I think
I've got all the information
I need to file your insurance claim.
Unless you have any questions for me?
Mr. Han?
Mr. Han?
Do you believe in signs, Gina?
I'm-I'm sorry?
Signs, you know, like from God,
or the universe or whatever.
You're gonna propose,
but then you lose the ring.
That's a sign, right?
You're not supposed to propose.
I meant questions
about your insurance policy.
But then, the last few days,
everywhere I turn,
it's proposals and weddings.
I have to wonder if maybe
I misread the previous sign,
or
if I'm reading too much
into the more recent signs.
I'm not sure what
the question is, Mr. Han.
Do I propose or not, Gina?
Uh, Mr. Han, it's not for me to
Yeah, I know, I know, but
you've just had to
transcribe this entire story,
so I'm sure you've got an opinion.
Come on, Gina. Please?
You're my only lifeline.
I think people look for signs
when they're afraid of making a choice.
Afraid to make the wrong one.
(sighs)
Ouch.
Brutal, but probably accurate.
Are you married, Gina?
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have
Divorced. Twice.
You ever regret saying yes?
I regret the result, Mr. Han.
I don't regret the attempt.
(chuckles)
Okay. Uh, thanks
so much for your time, Gina.
I really, really appreciate it.
You're very welcome.
(knock on door)
Maddie?
Hey.
Is something wrong?
Yeah, I think there might be.
I found the ring.
W-Where? How?
- Did you tell Chim?
- No, I got the feeling
that I wasn't supposed to know
he'd bought it,
but I also got the feeling
that you don't think
he should've bought it.
Maddie, I-I don't
I don't know what Buck told you,
but that's not what I said.
Then what did you say?
That you both have
been through so much
You mean I put him through so much.
That's not what I s
I left him and Jee for a reason.
Yes. To protect them.
But you have to understand
that that's why I said
what I did to Chimney.
I was trying to protect him, too.
- From me.
- Mmm, from himself.
He was so stressed out
about whether or not
he should propose, I just
I just wanted him to take a breath.
Maybe you should, too.
(sighs) The program in Boston, it
it taught me a lot.
It didn't teach me how to
reconnect with people in my life.
Maddie,
you don't have to ever be embarrassed
about what you went through.
We all have our scars.
Why haven't you told Chim
you found the ring?
Because it's more than just
words and a piece of paper,
you know?
There's a power that we give away.
I just didn't know that the
first time around, until after.
But he's Chim.
He's not that guy.
And you,
you aren't that same person
that you were back then.
It's stuck.
(laughs)
Do you want me to help you get that off?
Uhm, and that's everyone.
I think. I-I hope that's not
too much.
No.
Wow, that is a life well-lived.
I don't think I've ever met anybody
- quite like you.
- (chuckles)
You're "all in" about everything.
- It's a lot.
- (chuckles)
But I guess I can be a lot, too.
Well, you know what they say, right?
More is more.
(knocking on door)
Um, can you
give me give me just one sec.
I'm-I'm sorry.
Uh
I don't know what
I'm going to do about Connor.
Uh, we had a fight.
Another fight, and I just,
I-I had to get out of there.
- Can I come in?
- Well Um
- Oh. Hi.
- Hi.
I'm so sorry.
I'm-I'm interrupting.
Uh, it's-it's okay. Give me a sec.
Just one second. Um
- uh, what's going on?
- He's driving me insane.
I-I feel like he's not
present for this marriage
or this impending family.
I feel like I'm doing this
all by myself, and I'm just
I'm scared and I don't know what to do.
Okay, well, just try and relax, okay?
Relax? Relax. I Buck,
I don't have time to relax.
I mean, this baby's gonna
be here before we know it,
and, I mean,
if he's this checked out now,
what is it gonna be like
when he's, you know
Um, okay, K-K-Kameron.
I need a place to stay.
(sighs) Um
One second.
Well, I guess I wasn't wrong
about "all in."
I'm just the donor, okay?
Connor is the father.
I know this is something
easy to judge, but
No, I'm not judging. It's
It's an amazing thing to do for someone.
I'm just
I'm gonna need a minute
- to take it in.
- Of course.
Thank you for dinner. It was incredible.
Take care of yourself.
BUCK: Wh Uh Hey, h-hold on.
Natalia. What.. Hey, wait.
Come on, you don't need to
Come on.
(sighs)
- Mmm.
- (sighs)
Wow. She seemed nice.
Did you make this?
- Hey.
- Hi. You hungry?
I didn't hear you come
to bed last night.
Yeah, it was late,
and I didn't want
to wake you or the baby.
Then you succeeded.
Maddie, I have something
that I want to say.
Wha Maddie, you f
You found it? This is incredible.
How did you even
Where-where-where was it?
- It doesn't matter.
- Doesn't matter?
Do you know how insane I've
been looking for this thing?
Yes, I am aware
because I talked to Buck and Hen.
Maddie, I-I-I'm in a different place
- right now
- Stop.

Howard Han

I knew that I had found someone
who would always be there for me.
I knew it, I just
I couldn't believe it. (exhales)
And there are so many people
who would never survive
what I've been through
because they're alone.
But I had you. You're my lifeline.
And it is really funny,
you losing this ring
and me finding it.
It turned out to be a total blessing
because it just reminded us
why we're so perfect together,
and it brought us
right back to where
we're supposed to be.
Jee, we're ready.
Good job, baby.
Let me see. Uh, okay. (clears throat)
Howard Han
will you marry us?
(laughs)
- Finger. Yeah.
- Oh, right, right.

Yes, I will marry you.

Griffin? Oh, my (laughs)
Blair,
I know I'm always asking you
to jump with me on the weekends,

All I want you to do
is take this lover's leap.
You know, we've been a hell of
a team for the last two years.
But it's time to make it official.
Blair Andrews,
will you marry (grunts)
(Blair screams)
(Griffin screaming)
Dragged how, ma'am?
He jumped off a building to propose,
and his parachute got caught by a car.
Can you describe the vehicle?
Um, it's a pickup, there's a man
in it, he's wearing black.
That's a bank robber.
How do you know that?
All units, all units,
we have a 211 in progress
at the Cal-Am Bank in Cal Plaza.
- Units are arriving now.
- Oh
727-L-30 in pursuit.

Can you hear me, sir?
- Can you tell me your name?
- Griffin.
Where's Blair? Where is she?
Griffin, I need you
to look at me right now.
Breathing is good. Pulse is strong.
Do you know what year it is, Griffin?
The year my life changes
forever. Where the hell is she?
Pupils reactive. Let's get
this helmet off of him.
(Griffin sobs)
Steady. On three, ready?
One, two, three.
All right, we're gonna get
a splint on this, Griffin,
after we give you
something for the pain.
Morphine's going in.
I just want Blair.
Here you go.

Griffin, are you
experiencing muscle spasms?
Your hand is locked.
You held on to that ring,
Griffin. That's really awesome.
BLAIR: Griffin!
Here she comes.
Griffin, I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.
Blair. Will you
(crying): Yes. Yes. Oh
All right, let's go.
You can ride with him
if you want, ma'am.
Do I have to?
I mean, I had to say yes, right?
He jumped off a fricking
building for me.
You were gonna say no?
People change
when you put a ring on it.
I liked us how we were.
So, what do you want to do?
I guess I'll wait a few months,
and then break it off.
I heard a proposal gone wrong
can scar a guy for life.
Yeah. I heard that, too.
Oh, give me a break.

HEN: Ooh, I'm so looking
forward to this time off.
Denny's on a sleepover with Nathaniel.
Karen and I are going to have
ourselves a staycation.
What's the plan?
Curl up on the couch and watch nothing
but television that's bad for us.
Well, isn't all television bad for you?
EDDIE: That sounds awesome.

Why don't you just

I did, but I can't

My third apartment building.

Or an empire.
CHIM: Yeah, well, as soon as I
cover the deductible
on this insurance claim
I'm putting in, I'm donezo.
Chim
The ring is gone. I can be sad about it,
but I'll be even sadder
if I eat the cost of a missing diamond.
So get the insurance money.
Then buy a new ring and propose.
There's really no reason
why you shouldn't, Chim.
Unless you plan on buying a duplex.
Guys, I appreciate
what you're trying to do.
But the ring is gone.
It's a sign from God,
from Sauron, I don't know.
But I'm going to heed the
warning. It's time to move on.

Hello?
CHIMNEY: Hey, good morning.
Morning, how was your shift?
I mean, your first shift.
Delightful. How's yours going?
MADDIE: I am trying
to psych myself up for mine.
I got the whirling dervish
off to Grandma Lee's house,
and, as usual, she left
destruction in her wake.
Good thing we're trained for disasters.
Oh, there's no amount of training
that can prepare you for all of this,
and you somehow managed
to escape danger.
- Again.
- Yeah, sorry about that.
- You sound tired.
- Eh,
just need some coffee.
Double the shifts, triple the caffeine.
You have been taking
extra shifts lately.
Is there something
I should be worried about?
Maybe our HVAC system.
Have you heard the sound it makes
when the air conditioning kicks in?
Yeah, it's kind of like a whine.
I think it's more of a cry.
A cry for help, Maddie.
Very expensive help.

Uh, speaking of expensive help,

Come on, that's three in a row.
You look surprised.
Almost as surprised
as I was to get your text.
Uh, really?
I feel like I came on
a little too strong last time.
Aw, come on. No way.
Uh You know, I was
trying to figure out
the perfect place to take you.
Clearly, you went for full immersion.
I mean, wow.
BUCK: Well, this seemed
as good a place as any
for you to get to know
the real Evan Buckley.
- Oh.
- LUCY: Really? I have a few stories.
Uh, Lucy.
- Hi.
- Hey, Buck, how you doing?
I'm good, I'm good.
- Natalia, this is
- Hi.
Lucy Donato. She used
to be a member of the 118,
but she moved over to Air Support.
I'm not one of the cool kids anymore.
Uh, right, 'cause rappelling
out of helicopters, that's not cool.
Mmm, you know what I think
is really cool?
Buck after a few tequilas.
Or mezcal.
I mean, some pretty crazy things
have been known to happen, am I right?
Really good to see you, Lucy.
NATALIA: So you said
you had some stories?
You know, we were actually
about to close our tab
MAN: Donato, you're up.
Oh, saved by the eight ball.
- Nice meeting you.
- You, too.
Bye, Buck.
See you. (soft chuckle)
Thank you.
Uh, hey, what do you think the tip is?
They give you three options
right down here.
- Right. (chuckles)
- Are you all right?
Uh, yeah. No. I don't know
why I-I couldn't figure it out.
You're flustered.
- Flust
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, because of Lucy?
No, that-that was never a thing.
Well, it-it was one thing
- Hmm.
- And then it was nothing.
Which thing, tequila or mezcal?
It was nothing, I promise.
Oh, I'm glad to hear that Lucy is
doing great over at Air Support.
Yeah, did-did she request
to not come back?
No, no, no, not at all. She's
just looking to get promoted.
They might have some spots
available in the upper ranks.
Captain Donato.
Knew that one was coming.
So your day off went as good as mine.
CHIMNEY: Did you get a rabies shot?
No, that would have been
more interesting.
Hiking and golfing in the
same day? Sounds like you were
out there looking for signs, too, Eddie.
You know I don't believe in that stuff.
I just want what I had
when I met Shannon.
It just happened. It was magic.
Oh, so you believe in magic.
I believe in chemistry.
Ah, it's science.
- I get it.
- BUCK: Back to magic.
Weren't you guys in
the 12th grade when you met?
Eighth, then we lost touch
and reconnected in 12th.
Okay, so that's what it is.
You-you suck at it.
All right, Buck, come on.
Come on. I mean, if he met
his wife when they were kids,
he just he hasn't really dated.
So he sucks at it.
- Yes.
- HEN: Clearly,
you've mastered it, Buck.
(honks horn)
Buck, Eddie, saws and jaws.
Although my money's on saws.
Oh, great. You're here.
Can we just keep going and you
can pull me out at the church?
I'm sorry, I don't think
that's an option.
BOBBY: Let's get that top off, guys.
- So, what's your name?
- Lois.
Lois Gilbertson.
Soon to be Mrs. Phillip Garrity.
Congratulations.
Weddings seem to be
a running theme for us lately.
LOIS: Yes, running is good.
How about some galloping?
Aren't you the captain?
I mean, it says so
- on your hat, right?
- Yeah.
You got to get me to the church.
- EDDIE: Cap.
- Yeah?
EDDIE: I'm not sure.
But it looks like termites.
No, that's dry rot.
Well, you think we can clear
enough of that away
to pull her out of there?
Afraid not. Gonna
(whispering): We're
gonna need those saws.
What?
Oh, no. Are you out of your mind?
You're not getting that
anywhere near my dress.
We have a plan for that, Lois.
Uh, ma'am Lois is it okay
if we maybe just move
your dress a little?
LOIS: Just get me out of here, please.
Ah!
CHIMNEY: Okay, Lois,
that could be a sprain.
Hold tight while I take a look.
HEN: Okay.
This is a lot of dress.
(saw whirring)
- Is this a vow renewal?
- No, it is not.
Today, I am marrying
the love of my life. Phillip Garrity.
We went steady back at Pacoima High,
a very long time ago.
Not quite horse-and-buggy time,
if that's what you're thinking, but
(chuckles) Not at all.
Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon,
and I landed my first kiss.
We went to different colleges,
promised we'd stay in touch,
- but
- You lost touch.
I was afraid.
But by the time I met the man
that was my new husband, I just, uh,
I wasn't the same person.
But we had a great life together,
and-and Phil had a lovely wife.
It's just that we found each
other recently on The Facebook,
- and we were both alone again.
- (chuckling)
And we knew. We were meant to be.
- When you know, you know.
- Mm-hmm.
BOBBY: Okay, we're clear.
- All right, on my count.
- Yeah, okay.
One, two, three.
Good, I-I'll be a little late,
but I'll still make it.
Lois, we have to
take you to the hospital
- to get you checked out.
- No.
Lois, we don't have a choice.
Yes, you do. Yes, you do.
A long time ago,
I made the wrong choice.
Yes, my life has been beautiful,
my children are gonna be there today,
but don't you see?
This is my chance.
Maybe my last chance.
You have to let me do this. You have to.
You have to let me choose love.
I can do that.
Says so on my hat.

(knock on door)
Wow, Maddie, hey. This is a s
(sighs)
Whoa, Chimney popped the question?
No, he did not,
which answers my question,
or at least one of them.
I found this in Jee's Dollhouse.
Uh, he didn't lose it at the landfill?
- In the what?
- Back up.
If he didn't propose,
why are you wearing it?
Because I found it,
and I was looking at it,
and, you know, I tried it on.
I don't think
you're supposed to do that.
I think it might be bad luck.
Which is probably why
it's stuck, so can you help me?
Uh, yeah, sure. Come over here.
I tried, you know, olive oil,
um, taking a shower, everything.
Uh, not everything.
What are you looking for?
Ring cutter.
You have one of those at home? For what?
Uh Hmm. Other stuff.
What other stuff?
You know, forget it.
I'm not gonna cut it off
because it's my engagement ring.
Uh, technically, you're not engaged yet.
He hasn't asked, you haven't accepted.
Which brings me to my next question.
- Why didn't he ask?
- Uh, he lost the ring,
then he lost his mind.
We were on a call, we came back,
the ring was gone, he was convinced
we were hazing him.
Things got kind of tense.
I got into it with Hen.
He got into it with Hen.
Got into what?
Whether or not he should propose.
Anyway, we tore up the whole firehouse
trying to find it, but
nothing.
Hen doesn't think that
we should get married?
(stammers) It wasn't like that.
Then what was it like?
She just had some concerns, but
- No, no, M-Maddie.
- No.
Come on, Maddie.
- It's fine. I got to go.
- M-Maddie!
Dad. I'm done.
Uh, are you gonna
run errands again today?
No, and I'm sorry about that, bud.
Your project is my focus.
100 perc
Whoa. That's a lot of design work.
Chris, I'm not sure
that this mission thing's
supposed to be this involved.
- It's got to be good.
- Yeah.
What's this area right here?
Dad, that is where the
indigenous people live.
- EDDIE: Oh, right.
- What?
I think I'm gonna need
some professional help.
All right. Pretty sure kids
used to make these
out of sugar cubes.
Don't know if it was any easier, but
Well, tastier, I guess.
You know, they do have pre-fab models.
Oh, I'm aware.
- So is Chris.
- Hmm.
That boy has the heart of an engineer.
- Likes to overthink everything.
- Ah, an overthinker.
- Uh-huh.
- Apple doesn't fall very far, huh?
Yeah.
So, hiking and golfing in one day?
Okay, I'm not proud of it.
(chuckles) Eddie,
I know how hard this is.
One thing you can't do
is compare what you had
with what you think you're gonna have.
You just have to be open
to whatever comes.
Oh, plywood.
Need that for the base.
Ah.
- There you go.
- All right.
(mutters)
So how'd you make it happen
for you and Athena?
We got called to a motorcycle accident.
It was a bad one.
I wasn't at my best at the time.
Needed to take a minute.
She sat with me.
Eventually, I asked her
to go to church, and we prayed together.
Wow.
And a few days later, we had dinner,
things grew from there, and now
we're about to have
our fourth anniversary.
(chuckles) So you definitely
weren't looking for it.
When you met Shannon, how old were you?
- 14.
- How'd you make that happen?
I, uh, didn't.
Right.
They sent the police?
The paramedics are on their way, ma'am.
I just happened to get here first.
Oh, right.
They said something about that.
Are you Ella?
Yeah.
I'm just here as a matter
of procedure, Ella.
Could you tell me when he passed?
Just now.
I was doing the dishes,
and the monitor started to go off.
His heart stopped.
I think I have some paperwork
from his doctor.
ATHENA: That's okay. I see it here.
(sighs)
How long has he been under home care?
Since this morning.
I mean, they just set it up.
Nick was diagnosed with
grade three Oligodendroglioma
seven weeks ago.
Brain cancer.
Inoperable.
They hit him with everything
they could, but it was
spreading too fast,
so they decided
this was the best option.
And they left you here alone?
Well, they were gonna
order some takeout,
and I told them they
should go grab a bite.
Wait.
You think I did something to Nick
while they were gone.
Why don't we have a seat?
Ella?
I said I was here
as a matter of procedure.
Your husband's death is
what we call "unattended."
There was no medical
professional present.
Ella,
I need to advise you of your rights.
It happened so fast.
Seven weeks.
I can't imagine
what you must be feeling.
I don't mean the cancer.
It was a shock, yeah,
but everything about us
moved so crazy fast.
We only met five years ago.
Right over there.
I threw a game night.
A friend of mine invited him over.
We played Pictionary that night.
Nick is a was
a really good graphic designer,
so he was really good at it.
We felt like we were breaking the rules.
We're both big rule followers.
But hey, we won fair and square.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
We had an entire life planned and now
We never even made it
to our fourth anniversary.
I was going to get him flowers.
He hated them. (laughs)
I knew he would want them
because flowers are the official
fourth anniversary gift.
He was a rule follower.
Yeah.
I lost someone when I was about
your age.
My fiancé.
We had our whole lives ahead of us,
but it was cut short.
How long were you together?
Two years.
How did you survive?
I didn't think I could.
It seemed impossible,
like climbing a mountain
that keeps on going.
All the while,
you're carrying so much pain
that you can barely move.
And that pain is
the pain of memory. Of loss.
But you can't carry it around.
Don't make the same mistake that I did.
Cry.
Let the physical loss
hurt as much as it needs to.
But also realize that every
memory that you have of Nick
is filled with love.
It'll be with you.
You'll feel it every day,
because love never dies.
There's a needle in the top
drawer of his nightstand.
Hydromorphone. Ten cc's.
- Ella
- I couldn't do it.
We talked about it
and-and we worked it out.

And this wine
BUCK: It's, uh, a Vermentino.
Wanted a crisp white
to stand up to the acidity
- of the tomatoes.
- Nice.
I had no idea you were a junior somm.
Well, I'm not, but the nice lady
at the wine store is.
(chuckles)
- Uh, shall we?
- Yeah.
ANCHOR: that matter most to Angelenos.
Taylor Kelly, the author of
Close to the Flame:
My Adventures with the LAFD,
is here with us tonight.
- Taylor, it's good to see you here.
- Good seeing you.
Can you tell us
what inspired you to tackle
such a fiery topic?
Well, Dwight, it's no secret
I had many adventures with the 118.
Oh, that's so cool.
Uh, yeah, very cool.
- These stories with the world.
- Up close and personal?
Can you tell us more about that?
TAYLOR: I don't want
to give away too much,
but there was one firefighter
I was exceptionally close to.
DWIGHT: Now, you have to tell us more.
Did you have a non-thing with her, too?
(sighs) Um,
maybe I'll tell you
about it over dinner.
Okay.
TAYLOR: every day as it comes,
because that's the only option.
(sighs)
So then we went back to try
and find the ring, but, you know
WOMAN (on phone): It was a landfill.
Okay, Mr. Han, I think
I've got all the information
I need to file your insurance claim.
Unless you have any questions for me?
Mr. Han?
Mr. Han?
Do you believe in signs, Gina?
I'm-I'm sorry?
Signs, you know, like from God,
or the universe or whatever.
You're gonna propose,
but then you lose the ring.
That's a sign, right?
You're not supposed to propose.
I meant questions
about your insurance policy.
But then, the last few days,
everywhere I turn,
it's proposals and weddings.
I have to wonder if maybe
I misread the previous sign,
or
if I'm reading too much
into the more recent signs.
I'm not sure what
the question is, Mr. Han.
Do I propose or not, Gina?
Uh, Mr. Han, it's not for me to
Yeah, I know, I know, but
you've just had to
transcribe this entire story,
so I'm sure you've got an opinion.
Come on, Gina. Please?
You're my only lifeline.
I think people look for signs
when they're afraid of making a choice.
Afraid to make the wrong one.
(sighs)
Ouch.
Brutal, but probably accurate.
Are you married, Gina?
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have
Divorced. Twice.
You ever regret saying yes?
I regret the result, Mr. Han.
I don't regret the attempt.
(chuckles)
Okay. Uh, thanks
so much for your time, Gina.
I really, really appreciate it.
You're very welcome.
(knock on door)
Maddie?
Hey.
Is something wrong?
Yeah, I think there might be.
I found the ring.
W-Where? How?
- Did you tell Chim?
- No, I got the feeling
that I wasn't supposed to know
he'd bought it,
but I also got the feeling
that you don't think
he should've bought it.
Maddie, I-I don't
I don't know what Buck told you,
but that's not what I said.
Then what did you say?
That you both have
been through so much
You mean I put him through so much.
That's not what I s
I left him and Jee for a reason.
Yes. To protect them.
But you have to understand
that that's why I said
what I did to Chimney.
I was trying to protect him, too.
- From me.
- Mmm, from himself.
He was so stressed out
about whether or not
he should propose, I just
I just wanted him to take a breath.
Maybe you should, too.
(sighs) The program in Boston, it
it taught me a lot.
It didn't teach me how to
reconnect with people in my life.
Maddie,
you don't have to ever be embarrassed
about what you went through.
We all have our scars.
Why haven't you told Chim
you found the ring?
Because it's more than just
words and a piece of paper,
you know?
There's a power that we give away.
I just didn't know that the
first time around, until after.
But he's Chim.
He's not that guy.
And you,
you aren't that same person
that you were back then.
It's stuck.
(laughs)
Do you want me to help you get that off?
Uhm, and that's everyone.
I think. I-I hope that's not
too much.
No.
Wow, that is a life well-lived.
I don't think I've ever met anybody
- quite like you.
- (chuckles)
You're "all in" about everything.
- It's a lot.
- (chuckles)
But I guess I can be a lot, too.
Well, you know what they say, right?
More is more.
(knocking on door)
Um, can you
give me give me just one sec.
I'm-I'm sorry.
Uh
I don't know what
I'm going to do about Connor.
Uh, we had a fight.
Another fight, and I just,
I-I had to get out of there.
- Can I come in?
- Well Um
- Oh. Hi.
- Hi.
I'm so sorry.
I'm-I'm interrupting.
Uh, it's-it's okay. Give me a sec.
Just one second. Um
- uh, what's going on?
- He's driving me insane.
I-I feel like he's not
present for this marriage
or this impending family.
I feel like I'm doing this
all by myself, and I'm just
I'm scared and I don't know what to do.
Okay, well, just try and relax, okay?
Relax? Relax. I Buck,
I don't have time to relax.
I mean, this baby's gonna
be here before we know it,
and, I mean,
if he's this checked out now,
what is it gonna be like
when he's, you know
Um, okay, K-K-Kameron.
I need a place to stay.
(sighs) Um
One second.
Well, I guess I wasn't wrong
about "all in."
I'm just the donor, okay?
Connor is the father.
I know this is something
easy to judge, but
No, I'm not judging. It's
It's an amazing thing to do for someone.
I'm just
I'm gonna need a minute
- to take it in.
- Of course.
Thank you for dinner. It was incredible.
Take care of yourself.
BUCK: Wh Uh Hey, h-hold on.
Natalia. What.. Hey, wait.
Come on, you don't need to
Come on.
(sighs)
- Mmm.
- (sighs)
Wow. She seemed nice.
Did you make this?
- Hey.
- Hi. You hungry?
I didn't hear you come
to bed last night.
Yeah, it was late,
and I didn't want
to wake you or the baby.
Then you succeeded.
Maddie, I have something
that I want to say.
Wha Maddie, you f
You found it? This is incredible.
How did you even
Where-where-where was it?
- It doesn't matter.
- Doesn't matter?
Do you know how insane I've
been looking for this thing?
Yes, I am aware
because I talked to Buck and Hen.
Maddie, I-I-I'm in a different place
- right now
- Stop.

Howard Han
from the moment that we met,
I knew that I had found someone
who would always be there for me.
I knew it, I just
I couldn't believe it. (exhales)
And there are so many people
who would never survive
what I've been through
because they're alone.
But I had you. You're my lifeline.
And it is really funny,
you losing this ring
and me finding it.
It turned out to be a total blessing
because it just reminded us
why we're so perfect together,
and it brought us
right back to where
we're supposed to be.
Jee, we're ready.
Good job, baby.
Let me see. Uh, okay. (clears throat)
Howard Han
will you marry us?
(laughs)
- Finger. Yeah.
- Oh, right, right.
(both sniffle)
Yes, I will marry you.
- Yes? Yes!
