9-1-1

You are the boss of you.

Let me say it again.

You... are the boss

of you.

Sounds pretty simple.

Because it is.

All you have to do

is master one small thing.

Yourself.

You have to be able to look

at yourself in the mirror and say,

"Hey, you."

I'm the boss of me.

Yes!

You know, folks come up to me and they say, "Terry",

"this all sounds great.

"But it's easy for a guy like you

"with insane self-control.

What about the rest of us?"

Friends

the secret to self-control

is one simple thing.

That one simple...

Simple...

What the hell?

As I was saying, the one simple...

No!

What's happening to me?

Someone help me!

Get this thing off me!

All right, thank you. LAFD!

Make a hole, coming through!

Looks like we're looking at a possible 5150, Cap.

Sir? Hey, everybody, give him some space, okay?

Sir, whatever's going on here, you don't have to hurt yourself.

You think I want to hurt myself?

It's my hand.

It has a mind of its own.

I think he's suffering from alien hand syndrome, Cap.

That's not a real thing.

It's a really rare neurological condition

that causes a person's limbs to act out,

seemingly of their own will, and it usually indicates

urgent brain danger.

Okay, Buck, Eddie, get up there.

See if you can help him restrain himself.

- Okay, here we go. - All right.

- I'm thinking lorazepam. - And five milligrams of Lidocaine?

Aim for the ulnar nerve.

He's, he's stronger than he looks.

It's not me. It's-it's...

Thank you.

- Get it away from me! - I got it, I got it.

Please, please, just cut it off!

Sir, is there any chance you've been treated

- for epilepsy? - No.

How about blood clots?

Any recent contusions or bruises?

Not until today.

What about irregular heartbeat?

Yeah, I had an operation four weeks ago for my AFib.

- What? - Sir,

I think it's possible your heart grew a blood clot

- that went to your brain. - So I'm having a stroke?

I believe so, but we should be able to get you

to the hospital before there's any permanent brain damage.

Help!

Okay.

I got you, Buck!

- It's not me. - It's me!

- Help! - Get it off!

Yeah, let me get in there. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

It hurts!

All right.

Did you kill it?

No, I just put it to sleep.

Lidocaine acts as a numbing agent.

I am so sorry.

It's all, it's all good.

I am so sor...

That hand didn't do anything.

Left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.

Aw, don't you wish you could

just shrink them back down to this size?

I'd be okay with just shrinking her down to this size.

She never even got a chance to wear this.

Okay, we have nine, 12, 18 and 24 months.

This should hold you over

for a while, but if anything doesn't fit...

Keep it anyway.

We will definitely put all of this

to good use, so thank you.

You guys must be so excited. A little girl.

I know. I mean...

How perfect is this little face?

- Aw! - So perfect.

I can't wait until tomorrow.

It's Dierdre.

She wants to see us.

Her grandmother changed her mind?

- But you said... - I know.

She seemed pretty sure about her decision.

But when it came

to actually signing the paperwork...

She couldn't do it.

I'm so sorry.

I know how disappointed you both must be.

A little girl gets to stay with family.

We can't really complain about that.

I have another thing I'd like to discuss with you.

There is another girl.

She's not an infant.

She's quite a bit older.

How much older?

She's nine.

Both her parents are deceased.

Where is she now?

In a group home.

And needless to say,

that has not been a... ideal situation.

But this girl is very special.

And she's lost so much.

I just want to see her get a chance to win.

And I think that the two of you

are the very best chance I can give her.

When do we get to meet her?

Thank you.

- This was so good. - Yeah.

I love this place.

Hey.

What time does the movie start?

Did we even pick one yet?

They have 18 screens.

I figure we can decide when we get there?

Okay, keeping our options

open, I like it.

Nobody's looking at us, Evan.

What?

We're just two guys having dinner.

Nobody cares.

Yeah, I-I-I don't know what you mean.

You're a little tense.

But I get it, we're in a

pretty macho line of work.

But you'd be surprised how accepting most people are.

Were you always... out on the job?

No.

The 118

it was a pretty regressive place under Captain Gerrard.

And I was still figuring myself out.

It was only after I transferred to Harbor

that I stopped lying about who I was.

Yeah, I'm-I'm not lying about who I am.

I didn't say you are.

I was talking about me.

Okay, listen, this is, this is my first date with a dude.

But I'm not weirded out.

You know, I mean, I'm an ally.

Every Pride Month, I put a rainbow on my Instagram.

I'm, you know...

That's good.

Then I guess it's just me that makes you nervous.

Tommy!

Hey.

Buck! Hey, you two guys are hanging out. That's so great.

Yeah, we're just grabbing a bite.

And we were gonna go see a movie.

- Nice. - And then we're gonna go

find some hot chicks.

'cause, you know, hot chicks

love firefighters.

Well, this hot chick already found her firefighter.

She agreed to move in with me.

- Hey, congratulations. - Yeah, yeah, congrats.

- Thank you. - I thought you owned your place.

I'm thinking of renting it out.

I keep on telling her she can rent it furnished.

Then we wouldn't have to move anything.

You're just gonna have to make room.

You want me, you get my armoire, too.

Guess you can never have enough closet space.

Ain't that the truth, right, Evan?

All right, you guys have a great night.

Yeah, yeah, you too, bro.

You ready to go?

Yeah, yeah, I think.

So, 16 screens?

Eighteen.

Wow, that's so-so many choices.

Hey, is this-this ours?

No, it's mine.

I think I'm gonna skip the movie.

Why? What do you mean?

Evan, I think you're adorable.

But I don't think you're ready.

I'll see you around.

This is Mara.

Hi, Mara, I'm Denny.

And that's Hen and that's Karen.

- Welcome, sweetheart. - We're so excited you're here.
