Later that night, Buck and Ashleigh went on a drive, and Buck parked on top of a cliff...

"Whoa. Look at the city lit up. Wow, so beautiful." Ashleigh muttered.

"Yeah. Been a long day today. Yeah, Cap always says it's strange to hope for boring, but... we do." Buck said

"Yeah... kind of have the same job, Buckaroo." Ashleigh murmured, laughing softly. "There's a story in there somewhere, right?"

"How about "Firefighter Acts Like a Pig?" Um, the other night, w... we were drinking, and I... I don't know, I... I just don't want you to feel..." Buck muttered.

"Buckaroo, did you bring me here to apologise?" Ashleigh asked.

"Look, I know we're together and stuff, and we're looking for our own place, but I... I don't want you to feel used or... or taken advantage of. Because I respect you, you know? I... I do. And th... that guy, that's not me. It used to be me." Buck tells Ashleigh,

"That's such a shame... I'm a grown woman, Buckaroo. I'm the one who got you your drinks, remember?" Ashleigh asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh, fair enough. I guess I can take karaoke bathroom off my bucket list. So you want to grab a drink?" Asked Buck.

"Mm. Some other time, maybe? What about your Jeep? Where's that on your bucket list?" Ashleigh asked, removing her seatbelt and climbing over Buck.

Ashleigh put his seat back, kissing Buck.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. I... I don't want you to think I don't respect you." Buck murmured.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll deal with it." Ashleigh muttered, rolling her eyes and waving her hand.

"All right." Buck said.

Buck and Ashleigh kissed again, Ashleigh's phone vibrated, and Ashleigh grabbed her phone.

Ashleigh placed her phone down continuing kissing Buck.

The next morning, 118 drove down a road, and watching Athena set down some sort of firestick on the road...

Athena waved for them to go ahead.

"What do we got?" Bobby asked.

"Couple of newlyweds. Driver's Paul Williams. No ID on the passenger. Another car drifted into their lane. The driver tried to avoid getting hit, car went off the road. Bobby, it's bad. Car's wrapped tight around that tree." Athena tells them.

"Come on, guys, hustle up. Driver's name is Paul." Bobby said.

"Damn, the tree's folded right into the car." Ashleigh says, running over to the car.

"Ash, see if you can reach her." Bobby said.

Ashleigh and Eddie pulled on the car door, Ashleigh placed her fingers against the woman's neck.
