ANNOUNCER: Everyday heroes doing extraordinary things.

9-1-1 returns.

We're gonna find you.

ANNOUNCER: Catch all-new episodes Mondays and check out our other Fox programs.

Prodigal Son, Almost Family and The Resident.

There's more to the story than you know.

Only on Fox.

[beeping]

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please head to your seats.

The show is about to begin.

[chatter]

We're in our seats now.

Yeah, they are totally excited.

[phone chimes]

I did. I spoke to the usher on the way in.

Of course it's age-appropriate.

[laughs] It's an ice show.

Pure family friendly entertainment.

-You're such an ass! -Call me that again, -and I'll drop you on yours. -Try it.

Then try sleepingwith one eye open

-for the rest of the tour. -We don't sleep together anymore, sweetheart.

Remember?

You two are exhausting.

BOTH: Shut the hell up, Randy!

[orchestral music]



[cheers and applause]

Come on. Guys, that's-- you know...fun.

Should've broken up with youback in Tucson.

Shouldn't have dated you at all.

Never settle for the bronze medalist.

Why don't you takeyour gold medal and shove it--

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Hansel and Gretel.

[cheers and applause]

[light orchestral music]

♪ Whoo!

[applause continues]

-[grunts] -WOMAN: Oh, my God!

[skates clattering]

-Holy moly! -[grunts, screams]

-Whoa! -Awesome!

-[phone buttons beep] -[siren whirs]

NICOLE: I haven't seenthis much blood on the ice since a squirrel crawledinto the Zamboni.

Any idea what caused the accident?

NICOLE: Well, the Snowy Owls were finishing up their "Free in the Forest" bit.

Hansel and Gretel hit the ice for their breadcrumb schtick.

And, boom. Bloodbath on ice.

What's the story, Chim?

These two children are abandoned in the woods.

They come upon a gingerbread house where a witch entices them...

It was a multi-skater pile-up.

Most of the injuries are minorexcept for that guy.

He lost four digits.

We hit him with a localanesthetic to transport, still gottafind the fingers, though.

What about Hansel and Gretel?

Hansel took Gretel's bladeto the torso.

We propped him up to minimize the damage.

The skate's buried about 3 centimeters into his chest, barely missed the heart.

He doesn't have a heart.

[sobs] Really?We're doing this now?

Think you can cut her foot out of the skate

-so we can transport them? -It'll probably be easy

-if they stop arguing. -Yeah, then you might wanna

-sedate her. -And I need trauma shears.

I can't find mine.

This is a laryngoscope.

Oh, right, sorry.

MARYLOU: What were you thinking?

Breaking up with me an hour before show time?

I didn't wanna be distracted.

You know, it's hard enoughcatching you mid-air at 15 miles an hour.

I'm not a Frisbee, Boyd.

I'm a partner.

At least I was. BUCK: Found two fingers, Cap.

Still looking for the other ones.

-Hey, got the pinkie. -BUCK: All right.

Three down, one to go.

You should be able to sew those back on, right?

Well, they've been on icethe whole time, -so that'll help. -He shouldn't have to lose his fingersto Sid and Nancy's psychodrama.

-You did this on purpose. -Impaled myself?

You thought I was leaving you behind, so you tried to hobble me, and it backfired.

The kicker, Boyd, I wasn't leaving.

I know!

That's why I broke up with you.

Because you were gonnaturn them down.

"Disney on Ice." The big leagues.

So they were fightingover her leaving.

Figured they'd shake it off once they hit the ice.

But then one of the Snowy Owls went full toe pick, and everyone hit the ice.

Did you say "toe pick"?

Hen, you ready?

Okay.

[inhales sharply] Ah.

You broke up with me so I wouldn't turn down

"Disney on Ice"?

It's always been your dream.

No. This is my dream.

Being out on the ice with you.

You're just saying that'cause I could die.

Pretty sure you're gonna live.

See? Even the nice paramedic thinks you're an idiot.

[chuckles]

Yes! I got the middle one.

[lively piano music]

Hey--hey, Cap.

We--we found all the fingers.

Cap, victimsare being transported.

Our work here's done.

Great.

Ah.



[exhales] Found it.

-What's that? -A sequin.

When your blade runs across one of these, it stops your skates dead in their tracks.

Wait, one sequin did all of this?

A wardrobe malfunction can be the most dangerous part of figure skating.

So how come you know so much about figure skating?

[sighs]

My partner Heidi Shatsky and I were Twin Cities Junior Pairs Champions three years running.



[cheers and applause]

I always thought you were a hockey player, Cap.

Who says you can't do both?

You like that, huh?

Doesn't hurt.

Whoo. Nice truck.

Is it a rental?

Nope. All mine.

I--I didn't know you were getting a new ride.

Yeah, well,AC crapped out on the old one.

Again. Christopher and Iwere sitting in traffic, sweating in traffic.

Saw this dealership.Thought, why not?

A total impulse buy.

Not like you at all.

Maybe it should be.

Well, I'll remind you of that next time you're begging for extra shiftsto cover the payments.

-What's this? -This--[chuckles] this is epic.

I found Heidi Shatsky.

[laughs]

Morning, folks.

First up, water heater went outlast night, but they are sending someone to fix it.

Until then, you might wanna brace yourselves when you hit the showers.

We're also changing the lunch schedule.

[imitating fanfare]

Captain Robert Nash... this is your life!

Oh, my gosh. Where did you get that?

-Heidi says hi. -Aw.

She's gonna email you later.

She didn't wanna ruin the surprise.

I think we all hada little surprise this morning.

Not sure what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn'tthat hair!

EDDIE: Yeah, Cap, what is this look?

Is it some kind of Travolta thing Not Travolta. Bowie.

Ziggy Stardust?

This feels a little moreSiegfried and Roy.

Sorry I'm late. I had to take Denny to school.

What did I miss?

Okay, for everyonewho isn't fired, I will not be cooking today.

We're havinga special guest chef at lunch.

Uh, no pasta Thursday?

Not today.



ATHENA:Do not touch that pot.

Okay, now I got two of you hovering over mewhen I'm cooking.

I'm not hovering. I'm just here to help out.

Could you find me a skillet?

Will do.

You didn't have to do all this.

No, I needed to do something.

I cleared out every closet, brought 16 bags to Goodwill.

Yesterday, I even started organizing our receipts for the accountant.

-It's November. -Exactly.

I need the suspensionto be over with before I startredecorating the damn house.

[sighs] Okay.

You want me to try those beans?

Mmm, yes.

-How's that? -Good.

[laughs]

♪ CHIMNEY:I still think it's ridiculous you got suspendedfor solving a m*rder.

But I might get over that if you keep bringing us food.

Well, the brisket is my special recipe.

You just smoke it low and slow for 14 hours.

And then you turn it--

-ATHENA: [clears throat] -Mm.

[chuckles] Mm.

She's been cooking at home too.

Every meal's been a feast.

Have you ever considered being suspended forever?

[laughs]

Not that your cooking isn't good, Cap.

Well, I like both your food equally.

Oh, I'm not liking it. I'm loving it.

So when I go back for seconds, y'all better watch your fingers.

-[laughter] -[cell phone ringing]

Cheryl?

No, I'm at work.

I'm so sorry. I thought Karen was gonna call you.

SHEILA [over phone]: What's that?

You're breaking up on me. Are you driving?

BRIAN: Well, honey, it's a self-driving car, so technically the car is driving.

SHEILA: I don't trust that technology.

At least tell me you still have your hands on the wheel.

Totally hands-free.

Feet-free too. You know, I can text, eat a sandwich, watch a movie in here, -all at the same time. -SHEILA: That is not safe.

Guess what I'm doing now? The Macarena.

Hey. Dinner's ready. Are you gonna eat with us?

[sighs] I told you I wasn't feeling well.

Why don't you get up? I'm worried about you.

I know that you're-- you're still upset.

Still?

[scoffs]

It's been three weeks.

I'm sorry my griefis taking so long.

What would be an acceptableamount of time for me to mourn?

I mean, we lost six embryos.

I mean, is it just a dayfor each one?

Or can I negotiatefor a little more time to process my loss?

Why am I the only onethat's feeling it?

DENNY: Mommy,I know you're not feeling well, so I made you some tea.

[sighs]

HEN: No, not right now, Denny.

-D-D-Denny--Hold on-- -KAREN: Oh!

-KAREN: Denny! Damn it! -Sweet--honey--

Ugh! Now I have tochange the sheets.

I'm sorry.

[sighs] No.

No, I'm sorry.Come here.

I'm sorry, baby.

I shouldn't haveyelled like that.

[kisses] Thank you so muchfor bringing me the tea.

That was very thoughtful.

Here, honey, why don't-- why don't you bring this cup back to the kitchen.

Careful.

Mom and I will be out in a minute, and we can all have dinner.

-Together? -Yes, together.

And you can tell meall about your day.

♪ Karen, you're not the only one feeling the loss.

I--I don't knowhow to do what you do, Hen.

How to just put it away.

I haven't put anything away.

I'm sad, too.

I got really attached to the idea of a new baby.

Oh.

I guess maybe that'sthe difference.

Those embryos were justan idea to you.

But each one of themwas actually a part of me.

[somber music]

♪ CHIMNEY: I really wish I could help her, but she's not talking to me about it.

I'm not sure she's talking to anybody.

There's definitely something going on with her.

Eddie, too. Hey, you guys thinkit's the Santa Anas?

I mean, they--they make peopleact weird, right?

[laughs] I definitely don't think it's the wind.

Wait, you know what? Maybe it's something personal she doesn't feel like sharing.

Well, historically speaking, Hen and I tell each other everything.

Wait, everything?

-Did you tell her about me? -No. I mean, I would have if I felt likeshe was listening.

Oh.

Maddie, you knowshe's my best friend.

-I need to talk to someone. -I-I know.

It's just, you tell her, she tells Buck.

I mean, maybe everything doesn't need to be shared

-with the 118. -No way.

If we didn't tell each othereverything, what else would we doon a 24-hour shift?

Yeah.

Okay.

-Hey, you don't have to. -It's fine.

Uh, I am back in therapy.

Uh, mandated by my boss this time.

Uh, did--did something happen at work?

A woman filed a complaint against me.

She said I was stalking her.

I think stalking is an overstatement.

But...it's true?

This woman called 9-1-1, and Maddie thoughtshe was in trouble, so she just tried to help her.

Yeah, but she didn't want my help because she thinks I'm a crazy person who invaded her privacy.

Maybe there's a lesson in there for the two of you.

So what do you think's going on with Eddie?

-Call 9-1-1! -Are you crazy?

I'm not calling anyone. Yeah, he'll be fine.

His airway's blocked.



-What the hell's that? -Part of his nose... that I knocked into his cranial cavity when I broke itbefore it fell down his throat.

He's gonna start leaking spinal fluid.

Holy crap. Is he dead?

Hey, give that back!

No, no, no. Don't do it.

Let's check for spinal fluid.

No sign of neck injury,but his pulse is a little low.

That's part of his nose.

♪ So are you the onewho saved him or the one whoalmost k*lled him?

-Both. -What the hell, Eddie?

Can we talk about this later? I need to go before--

Still some on foot. Please be advised.

Still some on foot.

Thanks. [clears throat]

Let me know what hospital you guys drop him off at.

I'll--I'll make sure he's okay.

You knocked his noseinto his brain. He ain't okay.

Look, I did my best to help him.

I'm the one who called 9-1-1.

How long you been fighting here?

Promoter saw me at the junkyard fights a few weeks ago, offered me a sh*t.

Pays pretty good.

That's not whyyou're doing this.

Fighting was supposed to bea healthy outlet, -not an obsession. -It's not.

-Just got out of hand tonight. -I bet.

Tell me, that hit to the nose,was that a lucky sh*t?

Or had he dropped his hands?

Tap out or knock out. Those are the rules.

-He didn't tap out. -He was so punch drunk, he couldn't even lift his handsto protect himself.

You think he should've had the presence of mindto tap out?

Eddie, you needto talk to someone.

You know what? Just save the lecture.

COOPER: Bosko.

We're not done talking about this.

Oh, Bobby found an ice rinkin Van Nuys.

He wanted to teachMay and Harry how to skate.

You didn't wanna see Bobby's ice dancing moves?

Girl, I am not interestedin any athletic activity

-that requires a parka. -[laughs]

May and Harry seemed to beexcited about it, though.

Though probably not as muchas Bobby.

-Mm. -[laughs]

It must be nice for him.

He's finally having his first with Harry and May.

-Mm. -Teaching them something new.

That's nice. [laughs]

So what's going on with you?

I heard about what happenedwith the IVF.

[somber music]

Chimney told Bobby, and Bobby told you.

I wish you had told meyourself.

You had so much on your plate, Athena.

There is always room for you.[laughs]

Truthfully, I thought we would've gotten through it.

I mean, the day we got the news, we got in bed together, and we--we held each other.

We cried.

And we grieved.

But then at some point, I got up... but she's still laying in the bed.

Mm.

I mean, I see her struggling, and you know--

And I know it's true and you know--

And I--I know she's not trying to spite me, but it's just--there's just a part of me that--

You're angry with her.

And I don't wanna be.

I hate that I am.

But I--I come home, Athena, and... the house is a mess, and--and Denny's parked in front of that television, and he hasn't eaten anything that--that doesn't come out of a box or a bag, And I--and I just-- I just--

I wanna-- I wanna scream at her.

We're still here!


Your actual living, breathing son and--and your wife-- we're here!

And we need you!

[sighs]

I feel like such a terrible person for saying that out loud.

But you're not.

You haven't saidany of this to her.

You're saying it to me.

Hm?

Because you are worried,frustrated

-and frankly, exhausted. -And I'm scared.

Karen will come back to you.

But until then, you got me. Hm?

[both laugh]

Diaz, up here, now.

I was gonna go change.

No, we talk first.

[indistinct PA announcement]

What are you doing here?

Just talk to your captain.

Did you tell him?You sold me out, huh?

I thought we were friends.

What's the name of my cat?

I know about your kid and your dead wife and your arrest record and the guy you almost k*lled.

So tell me, what's the name of my cat?

I have no freakin' idea.

Exactly.

It's a one-way street with you, Diaz.

We're not friends.

And for the record, I don't have a cat.

Look, Cap, I don't knowwhat Bosko told you--

Captain Cooper called me last night.

He recognized you from the tsunami.

He wanted to give me a heads up about a potential problem in my house.

-But Lena-- -She was here when I pulled in this morning.

Wanted to make sure I had a full picture and that I wasn't too hard on you.

-Guess I owe her an apology. -Take a seat.

It's nothing. It's--I'm fine.

Just needed a placeto let off some steam.

-Things got a little out of-- -Control?

That's what this is about, right?

You're the guy who always keeps it together, no matter what life throws at you.

You shake it off, keep moving forward.

Lots of people have it worse.

Eddie, I just wanna make sure you don't think you have to lose everything... before you can allow yourself to feel anything.

♪ No, Christopher needs me to be in control.

I'm the only parent he's got left, and I can't let him down again.

When did you let him down before?

[laughs] God,when did I not let him down?

I wasn't therewhen he was a baby.

Stayed away too long,and it broke his mother.

Shannon ran away, I--and I couldn't stop her.

I couldn't bring her back home.

So I brought him here.

And let her back into his life.

That's what Christopher wanted.

[laughs]Yeah, but--but I knew better.

She already left once,broke his heart.

You know, I was so afraidshe was gonna do it again.

-She did. -She d*ed, Eddie.

Yeah, after she told me she wanted... a divorce.

And I'm--

I'm still mad.

How stupid is that?[laughs]

I'm angry at a dead personand at myself because I forgave her... for everything, and-- and it wasn't enough.

I wasn't enough.

SHANE: All right, listen up.

The speed and efficiency is total crap lately.

How bad does it suck?

Customers shop with us online because they want their stuff fast.

You slow pokes can't keep up with the bots.

Because of that, I'm canceling all bathroom breaks until further notice.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We've already wasteda minute here because we had to stop and have this chat.

So my suggestion is quit your whining and go light a fire under it.

Now!

-Are you okay? -No, I really have to go to the bathroom.

I think I gotta sneak in there.

Don't do it;it'll ruin your pick-time.

Yes, of course it will, but our pick-time is supposed to include pee-pee-time. It's the law.

Yeah, well, the law doesn't apply to the robots.
