Also, and this is so important, there are multiple gnarly injuries and a tiger.
This is why we watch!
Naturally, Gerrard wants his protege to help him decide who to cut.
There are more changes coming to the 118.
Thankfully, this is not an episode entirely about city government.
We meet our first emergency of the week, a high school cheerleader named Weston.
His mom is at the game to support her son, but his dad is MIA.
As a 9-1-1 caller helpfully explains, A cheerleader is ass-backwards!
The 118 arrives to, one assumes, twist Wes back into shape.
Unfortunately, its not that simple.
It works, and the delirious cheerleader wakes up and calls Eddie dad.
Off the clock, Hen and Karen are in court trying to get their foster license reinstated.
In fact, she orders Hen and Karen to have no contact with Mara at all.
We get scenes of Buck, Eddie, and Chimney similarly venting about Gerrards reign of terror.
Chimney stresses that the 118 needs Bobby.
But there are more people to save!
(While I normally complain about shitty CGI, its part of the charm on this show.)
Patty is also badly mauled by Bing before she escapes to the bathroom, where she calls 9-1-1.
Not to worry, the L.A. Can you believe the 118 had an entire tiger incident without Bobby there as captain?
He cant let that stand.
Bobby invites Gerrard to the set ofHotshots, where the current captain is visibly starstruck.
(Gerrard doesnt watch the show, he swears, but his sister is a big fan.
Weve all been there, bud.)
The 118 isnt just an item on a ledger, she says.
Oh, and also, roll that secret body cam footage of Ortiz doing her Bond villain monologue.
As a fan of legal dramas, I live for this kind of courtroom drama.
(Its a city hall hearing, but close enough.)
The episodes final moments are all about happy endings.
Now, how does Eddie get Christopher back?
With the evil Ortiz defeated, Mara is able to return to Hen and Karens home.
Bobby ultimately nixes it, saying that the old home was Michaels and he wants something of their own.
Buck-Tommy watch:Should I have called this section Buck-Gerrard watch?
Those two have gotten way more screen time this season than Buck and his boyfriend.
On the football field, Gerrard learns what position Buck played and proceeds to call him tight end.
Im not imagining this, right?
Surely this is all intentional.
Again, I ask, whats that guys deal?
But I did laugh.
