In tonights Station 19 episode, the new boss does not like giving bad news. Fire Chief Natasha Ross actually dreads it and so she got a pep talk from Sullivan before she did something she couldn’t take back. She talked to an old friend. She needed someone who was in her corner someone in her corner at the time and that Sullivan was that person.

He told her that he got her back. But then again, he didn’t know that she was shutting down Station 23 or that she would use the excuse that they don’t need two stations so close together when Station 19 could do the heavy-lifting. She could have phrased that so much better than what she did. She shifted the blame to 19 because the truth is she needed to cut a station and Andy gave her the best excuse.

Andy mentioned in a conversation that her new station was a boys club. It was. They loved the days of when they get to grossly talk about women and be manly man without having to answer to a female boss, but that wasn’t something Andy should have said to Ross. She only mentioned it because she wanted to be transferred back to 19.

She wanted to be with her old family. She tried at 23 and it wasn’t a good fit for her because 23 was forced on her. It wasn’t her choice to go there. After Ross announced she was closing 23, most of 23 thought Andy would be going back to 19 and they didn’t want to hear anything from her.

People at 19 also weren’t taking the news well because they feared what might happen to them now. Sullivan was especially worried because he knew his relationship with Ross wouldn’t be enough to save 19 if they misstep now or later and so he went to his captain. Captain Beckett has a drinking problem.

He had a bottle of booze hidden at work. Sullivan suspected he was drinking on the job. He tried to convince the man to come with him to an AA meeting and he never showed. Sullivan has now given up the pretense of asking. He told Beckett that if he kept going like this that he risks closing 19 down.

Beckett replied back that that’s never going to happen. He claimed Ross wouldn’t do to that to her boy toy, but Sullivan wasn’t so sure and he remembered his days in Afghanistan with her. She didn’t like suck-ups. She admired hard work. She was also tough. She decided to make Maya’s demotion permanent and she later told Maya about it.

Maya tried to fight her position. She claimed the last Fire Chief had been out against her for standing up for Black Lives Matter. Only Ross told her to retract that statement or else it was going on the books. Ross was really hard on Maya and there was nothing Maya could say to persuade her differently.

Maya didn’t even get to finish fighting her side because the station got called to a massive fire. The fire was at a candy factory and those factories were loaded with combustible items. Station 23 also got called. 23 and 19 had to work together to put out the fire. Most of everyone was inside and so it was just Maya who noticed Beckett was off.

Beckett was given a map of the factory’s inner workings, but he read it upside down because he wasn’t fully sober and so he gave orders based on the wrong readings of said map. Maya was the one to realize what was up. She went to Beckett. She told him that he was reading the map upside down and then she walked away.

Maya didn’t take him to task because one of the things Ross told her was that she didn’t respect authority. Which was technically true. Maya ignored a direct order from the previous Fire Chief. She did so to save a child’s life and yet she broke command. Something that Ross takes personally.

Ross was a Marine. She still thinks like a Marine. She believed the order of command should be held to and that no one should be deviating from it. Maya wasn’t going to get her captaincy back anytime soon. She was being punished. She just has to learn to live with it. Andy on the other hand had realized her mistake after Ross announcement.

Andy realized that 23 deserved better. She also realized that she did the same thing that Sullivan did. She told him what she did to 23 and he understood. He didn’t judge her. He’s been where she was and so he acted as a friend to her. Sullivan also found out about Beckett. His worst fears were confirmed with Beckett drinking on the job. He therefore reported it to Ross. She’ll now have to conduct an investigation into it, but she was willing to do so and she plans on getting to the bottom of it.

Meanwhile, Pru’s grandparents have decided to give Ben and his wife full custody of the little girl. They recently suffered a health scare and they couldn’t afford to keep up with active toddler.

THE END!
