Only, when she pops that pimple, pus doesn’t come out…a live maggot does.
Excuse me, I need to go gag twice.
First, because it is truly heinous.
Second, because I just had to write that sentence.
But, of course, the theme most aptly applies to our first responders.
People who choose a career in which they put themselves in danger every single day.
He has a life here now.
He has a family here, too.
Christopher brings him his helmet and that’s like the sixth thing that made me cry in this episode.
The 118 family comes together for one another again during the episode’s big set piece.
Let’s talk about the serial mail bomber, shall we?
Bless Michael, he saves them all, because as we discoverthis package is the real deal.
It’s a tense few moments, but everyone is fine.
The question then becomes: Why was Athena targeted?
How are they all connected?
Well, the son is the serial bomber.
But when they check his apartment, they find nothing.
It’s Bobby who suggests that they checked the wrong house.
HELLO THE BOMB IS DEFINITELY AT STATION 118.
It’s a precarious situation and Freddy only wants Bobby.
Bobby has to save Buck, come on!
Probably notand he gains control of the bomb detonator, and the police grab Freddy.
So that part of the situation is, ahem,diffused.
But they still need to save Buck, who is trapped under the firetruck.
Another sentence that makes me gag but in a good way because bless this show.
So what happens next, you ask?
All of the civilian bystanders break through the police barriers to help!
THIS IS NO JOKE.
ALSO I AM CRYING AGAIN.
Together, the citizens of Los Angeles help save a first responder.
Well, to people with medical degrees it is, but not to Buck.
There’s no way he’s not getting back to work.
Maddie tries to convince him that he’s more than his job, but it doesn’t matter.
The entire ordeal affects those around Buck, as well.
Reminded that life is short, two couples take big steps forward.
And so they kiss and all seems right with the world.
They grab the kids and head to the courthouse and Athena and Bobby get married.
This feels good and special and nice, and sometimes that’s all you really need.
