Our firefighters are cool, calm, and collected - until someone slips LSD in their brownies.
Bobby Nash is The Saddest Man.
At the moment though, he’s extra-sad.

and learns that May is getting ready for the upcoming Homecoming dance.
He’ll never reach that milestone with his own daughter, and it crushes him.
He has to get out of Athena’s house immediately.

Yep, that happens.
The episode kicks off with a downed traffic chopper.
Why does anyone even want to save this person?

I know, I know, it’s their duty, but she is terrible.
Everyone is into it Buck especially, who can’t stop flirting except Bobby.
He wants nothing to do with her and thinks she’s a distraction.
It could be dangerous.
The victim has cricketsflying out of his throat.
Another contestant passes out once a giant roach-like things start CRAWLING OUT OF HER MOUTH.
More important things than gross, giant bugs escaping human mouths happen.
Our intrepid reporter also joins the squad when they get called to a bodybuilding competition.
One of the contestants gets stuck in a “double bicep pose” because he’s so dehydrated.
He’s basically a human charley horse.
And yes, his name is Charlie.
Seriously, this show is a treasure.
It’s during this call that Bobby really lets Taylor have it.
Very quickly, it becomes apparent that everyone, except Chim, is high off those brownies.
They must have been laced with something.
What does Taylor do as she realizes Bobby is out of his mind and hallucinating his dead daughter?
SHE HAS HER CAMERAMAN KEEP FILMING.
No, that would be the right thing to do and she is a garbage human.
Unfortunately, there’s no one back at the house looking out for Bobby.
Honestly, why did they have to go so serious with this?
Still, Bobby is worried about Taylor’s piece that’ll be on the news.
It could ruin him.
Or at the very least, be extremely embarrassing.
So Buck, too, learns how horrid Taylor is and moves on with his life.
Basically: Bobby knows this is the chick that sent them LSD brownies.
Sandy apologizes she just wanted to give the firefighters clarity.
And now we know why Athena tagged along on Bobby’s adventure.
But he’s not.
It felt so good to be high, he tells Athena.
He wants to feel that good again.
Athena, of course, is the strong partner he needs her to be.
She reminds him that he doesn’t have to carry all of this pain and guilt by himself.
He doesn’t have to struggle alone anymore.
She is there for him.
It’s all very nice.
And then it gets even nicer.
After the talk with Athena, Bobby’s feeling a little better.
He decides to be there for the big Homecoming dance send-off.
It looks like Bobby and Athena won’t be the only9-1-1couple for long.
That’s not a typo!
Buck assumes she’s into Eddie, but she’s not!
Chimney sets up her home security system he’s protecting her and they instantly connect.
She’s having a tough time sleeping, worried that her husband could show up at any moment.
Things were really bad.
But she’s doing better now!
