Thanks for performing your civic duty.
So much better than jury duty.
No, Peggy, that's important, too. Thank you for voting.
I mean, please attend jury duty. Of course.
And what inspired this initiative?
Fire stations are a safe haven,
so I thought, why not designate one
as a voter drop-off and information center?
That doesn't sound like the work of someone who's resigning.
That's because I have no plans to do so.
Oh.
Let's get a few shots of Herrera
in our new female firefighter turnouts.
Looks great. Feels great.
You have no idea how much better these fit.
When are the rest of these coming in?
Yeah, we've been begging for these for years.
Why now?
I was saving up my discretionary fund for a rainy day,
but now [sighs] well, it's pouring.
Ooh! You look festive.
I'm off to another organizer event for Robel.
Mm. Is Eli gonna be there?
You know, he's doing voter drop-off all day,
so I don't think I'm gonna run into him.
So, how much of your commitment to Robel
is actually about getting back on
Eli's good side now that he works for Robel, too?
We both know that Robel has to win.
That's why I'm speaking at organizer events
all across town today to save the city
we both live in from Dixon.
I'm probably gonna lose my voice.

Well, Beckett just got back,
and he's already calling in sick.
Did he say when he was coming back?
No, with everything going on,
I-I didn't ask follow-up questions.
Well, he's not quitting, right?
Why would he be quitting? I don't know.
A friend got in an accident at work.
It's probably my fault.
I will not be seeking my captaincy back.
I'd like you to have it.
Um, you know what, Theo?
I just got a text from Diane asking where I am.
We were supposed to do a peer review today,
and I totally forgot.
Oh, come on, Vic.
You know, I let you dedicate time for your classes
and the Crisis One expansion--
Oh, you "let" me? Okay.
I'm gonna be late. I gotta go.
Hey. Hey.
Aren't you on desk duty? Oh, I am.
I'm just helping out with Election Day.
Just like you, and those two out there,
who are your responsibility today.
They're volunteers,
and there are full-time workers supervising.
How much trouble can they get into?
They just attacked that poor girl with stickers.
Only one sticker per voter. That means 18 and over.
We're nurturing the future voters of this country.
Sorry. Mm-hmm.
You were saying?
I love that.
Damn it!
Hey. Maya told me about the Medal of Valor.
It's a huge deal, right? Congratulations.
No, no, it's not a huge deal.
I just-- Miranda saves lives every day.
You save lives every day.
My whole team saves lives every day.
I didn't save lives.
I saved one person, and barely.
So, no congratulations, then?
[ Sighs ]
Well, what about you two? Hmm?
Uh, no. Living with Maya started to feel
just like living with my father,
and I've learned not to come second to chaos.
Yeah, well, she seems pretty peaceful to me.
And she's been seeing Diane regularly, so...
Right. Doesn't mean that I'm moving back in, though.
This is not a checklist, and I'm not a reward.
I need to make sure her priorities have evolved
and she won't hurt herself again if--
when things don't go the way she wants.
I need proof that she won't go back to her old ways.
Well, she hasn't so far,

Why are there so many?
But things are going well with Brooke.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, we have trouble connecting sometimes.
I mean, she-- she-- she has friends that she's known

You didn't get a chance to stick around

Look, Jack, I know it'd be great to have a sibling
who understood the stuff you went through,
but this is the hand you were dealt.
This is your family.
You, Lila, and Cal,
y-you're the closest thing to a real family I've ever had.
I never understood that stupid saying--
um, "bl-blood's thicker than water".
You know, because hanging out with Brooke,
it just makes me miss my foster family that much more,
and then of course, Cal doesn't even remember
who I am, so that's-- that's nice.
Jack, you've had a tough year, a tough life,
but, you know, give your bio sibs a chance
to show you they can add to the family you already have.
19! Can I talk to you all in the beanery?

Good luck tonight.
Thank you.
So, what's the dress code for the fireman's ball, anyway?
I hope it's just our Class A's.

Hey, Warren, congratulations on the Medal of Valor.
Yeah! Yeah! No, stop it.
Stop. Seriously, seriously, stop.
Stop.
Yes, congratulations, Warren.
So, 19, one of the things on my to-do list

Well, I mean, it's no secret that I want to be captain

a job you wouldn't even take.
So I'd say I deserve a chance.

Oh, God, even if I did, that doesn't make them
any less effective, Beckett.

you might as well just hand me that instead. What's that?

Just-- Just-- Just give me a sling, whatever.
I-I just need to go see her. Okay.
God, I-I should have told her.
It's never too late to come clean.
I'm not cheating.
Alright? I-I just-- I lost my job.
I-I pretend to go to work every day because I'm a failure.
We're broke and it's my fault, and I just--
I just couldn't tell her, so I lied.
Now she wants a divorce.
You know, Matt, sometimes a lie blows up
and destroys everything.
It's better to face things head on.
We owe people the common decency of not lying to their faces.
I'm gonna tell her. I'm gonna tell her the truth.
Okay, we're gonna get this put back
into place as soon as possible,
but if it doesn't go in immediately,
they're gonna have to do some X-rays at the hospital, okay?
I am always telling my boys how dangerous those scooters are.
Yeah, I saw a guy lose a nipple once in a scooter accident.
Don't worry.
I've done this in the field many times.
Just hold still.
I know we shouldn't have been going so fast.
It's just-- we were so excited to vote.
It's our first time.
We raced here after our lecture.
We just wanted to leave tracks.
To leave tracks? It's a quote.
Uh, the Notorious RBG. Mm-hmm.
Um, "Whatever you choose to do, leave tracks.
You will want to leave the world a little better
for your having lived."
Wow. Thank God for you.
I mean that.
Thank God for your whole generation,
'cause we wrecked everything.
We pretty well wrecked the whole country.
We wrecked the planet.
Not completely, 'cause of you.
'Cause of your generation. Racing to vote.
They were literally racing to vote.
How is everyone not racing to vote?
The planet is boiling.
Yeah, like, do they want to keep having
to run active shooter drills at school?
I am so sorry-- [ Screams ]
[ Cracks ]
I'm sorry for that, too.
I'm never getting on a scooter again.
But please, God, don't quite racing to vote, alright?
Here's to making tracks.
Peggy: We found it!
We found it. We found the tooth.
[ Laughs ]
Oh! Looks like you lose, Hughes.
Time to go.
Oh, come on, Beckett. Come on.
We're not done yet. Let's go.
We had a deal. We can...
Okay.
Alright, why don't you just...
[ Ball thuds ]
Why don't you tell me about your worst day?
That's why you left the Excellence Center, right?
Why don't you just tell me? Tell me.
Okay.
Alright, there was a blizzard one year,
and there was a man living out of his car
down the street from the station,
and we went to check on him,
and [sighs] he was frozen to death in the back seat
with a picture of his wife and his kid,
and when we took him to the hospital,
they couldn't even declare him dead
because he had to thaw out.
God, can you imagine that? That...
God, I had nightmares about that for months.
For me, it was the quiet ones.
I can-- I can handle a call
when we're anticipating horrific casualties.
A few years back, we got called
to an apartment building on Sycamore.
The tenants had reported the smell of gas.
Woman was on the couch. She was dead.
And then we found a bedroom door
with sheets stuffed under the sill.
They had little... blue racing cars on them,
the sheets.
That woman had wanted to take her life,
but she didn't want the gas to get into her kids' bedroom.
When we found the kids in their bunk beds...

This the part where I'm supposed to feel better?
Wow. Hmm.
Eventually, I mean, you just gotta--

No, I don't wanna-- I don't wanna sit in this pain.
I don't want to feel this, Hughes.
I said I didn't want to talk, didn't I?
I mean, if I want to feel pain, I can just go back to rehab.
I had a plan. I felt better. I felt relief.
Why are you still here?
I'm not leaving, Sean.
