Okay, I take that back.
It is gutting and awful and may9-1-1never bring us back to this night again.
Of course, Bobby relives this night every single day.
Bobby is in a bad way, people.
This is how Bobby finally ends up in Alcoholics Anonymous, attempting to gain control of his life.
Bobby’s reached the 8th step of the program: It’s time for him to make amends.
He just needs his boss to take him off desk duty and put him back in the field.
The chief gets it, but it’s not Bobby who he’s worried about being ready.
He doesn’t think Bobby’s fellow firefighters are ready to trust Bobby with their lives just yet.
And so Bobby has an idea: Get him transferred somewhere else.
Out of St. Paul.
Welcome to Los Angeles, Bobby Nash!
The man is laying down the law.
Fun fact: The rooster rescue is where Bobby and Athena first meet.
He hands over Maurice the Rooster.
Athena is not pleased.
Anyway, it seems like Bobby’s actually having a great timewhich is the problem.
Just shy of one year sober, Bobby goes to a seedy bar and drinks.
Bobby is punishing himself over and over again.
All of this brings us to a tiny, family-owned restaurant that’s having some financial troubles.
Station 118 is on it.
Well, they venture to be.
Everyone is safe and sound, but back at the station, Bobby lets DeLuca have it.
The guys have words, DeLuca mouths off once again, and so Bobby fires him.
He’s not playing around, you guys.
But this is Bobby Nash we’re talking aboutthe man believes in second chances.
He reveals to Hen that he talked to the Chief and had DeLuca suspended and sent to another station.
That wins Hen over, and she invites Bobby out for drinks with Chimney and Tommy.
He goes back to the restaurant.
He has a hunch.
You know who else has a hunch?
He heads back to the church for some counsel because he feels like such a hypocrite.
The man is cooking gourmet meals for his team; what an angel person.
He’s truly taking care of his new family.
Eventually, 118 bids farewell to Tommy and hello to Evan Buckley and we return to the present day.
So he puts on his dress uniform and faces the panel.
As to his fate with the LAFD, we’ll have to wait and find out.
I mean, he’s going to be fine, right?
He’s our dad.
Dad has to be fine.
That’s the rule that I just invented, you’re welcome.
