You have to sit back and let it burn.

They are trained to keep some distance.

But for some, thats just not an option.

JackJack is in charge of disaster protocol with Seattle Police.

Solid burn, Ryan.

Jack and Ryan get into a bro argument but are cut-off when the fire alarm goes off.

Just as Jack is scrambling to leave, Ryan gets a call to go to the same fire.

My money is on yes.

This ticks Jack off for a few reasons.

He doesnt have an oxygen mask on.

This doesnt stop Ryan.

Soon, Jack calls for everyone to get out, predicting that the building is going to collapse.

All they can do now is watch it burn to the ground.

LADY WITH A BABY.

Jack hops up onto the ladder so they can swing it around to the balcony.

It moves with the speed of a decrepit turtle.

Ryan calls for the mom to drop her baby and I shout, WHAT IN THE WORLD, RYAN?

She cant do that with a baby in her arms.

All she has to do is drop the baby and he will catch him.

So she does and ABC goes to commercial.

Mama flings herself in the loving, muscular arms of Jack.

MayaFor Maya, her brother is keeping his distance.

Hes choosing to live the way he lives and has even found ways to be an artist.

He draws a beautiful mural on the bridge and then disappears without a word.

Perhaps this family structure is too far gone.

TravisRemember little old lady Edith and her handsome grandson Grant?

He asks Travis on a date, but Travis halfway ghosts him.

Because he doesnt want Grant to worry about him dying.

He doesnt want anyone to worry.

Therefore, he doesnt date.

This is the definition of sitting back in the safe zone.

(Recap continues on next page)

VictoriaBless her heart, Victoria is still afraid of fire.

Maya and Travis run her through some drills where she has to put out a bunch of flaming torches.

Shes great at first, but then she starts to crumble.

She rushes out of the circle and lays into Maya for pushing her too hard.

She feels the heat.

She watches as it burns.

It looks like she might be back in the game.

Chief HerreraWhen we last left Herrera, he was asking someone at Grey Sloan Hospital to page Dr. Bailey.

Miller and Warren double team him and haul him right back to the hospital with Andy behind them.

Bailey has to pretend she knows what hes talking about.

She is not pleased with her husband and demands that he stop protecting her from his burdens at work.

If he feels the burn, she wants to feel the burn, too.

Its a good thing she doesnt have to worry about that since her dad is in the hospital.

They fight back and forth the entire episode.

Especially when Bailey suggests a more aggressive treatment for his cancer.

Warren ends up giving Andy the exact same pep talk that Meredith gave her in the first episode.

Something about getting her game face on.

Herrera asks for space.

Andy refuses to give it to him.

Why is this such a big deal?

Because Andy promised her mom before she died that she would take care of her dad.

Andy gets emotional and so does Herrera.

Then he passes out and all the alarms sound.

Someone help the Chief!

It turns out that he had an allergic reaction to the new medicine.

Sadly, this is going to the the case every time.

Andy is annoyed but Herrera insists they keep going.

Because he will have Andy with him every step of the way.

Way to bridge the gap, guys!

He recognizes that he doesnt want to stay away from the fire anymore.

He wants to get close because he likes it.

Just so you know, Andy is the fire in this metaphor.

Let the record show that I approve.
