The 118 arrived at the restaurant...

"Why haven't they come out yet? Why didn't the sprinklers come on?" Ellie asked.

"We've got two inside... teenage boy and his dad." Athena said, staring at Bobby.

"Please, my family's in..." Ellie says.

"Stay back." Athena tells her.

"Ma'am, ma'am, we are on it. Let's get a hose line going. Kinard, you hit the roof." Bobby said.

Bobby sees a firefighter enter the building.

Bobby: "Deluca, get back here. Deluca, what are you doing?"

Deluca: "My job. Saving lives."

Bobby wore a mask, walking into the restaurant.

Bobby: "Deluca, what's your location?"

Deluca: "Lots of smoke, too much vapor. Flashover conditions."

Bobby exhaled sharply, and he imagined he was his building that was on fire.

He looked around, clenching his eyes shut, and when he reopened his eyes, he found himself back in the restaurant.

Deluca: "I got someone!"

Bobby ran over to a guy, grabbing his arm.

"Sir, can you hear me?" Bobby asked.

Bobby grabbed him under the arms, and he saw fire above them, and Bobby hovered over the dad.

Chimney: "Okay, there's a skylight right above you."

Bobby: "Copy. I'm gonna vent the roof."

Chimney: "Copy that. Clearing the roof."

Bobby threw an axe through the window, and the flames whooshed loudly.

Bobby walked backwards, pulling the guy out.

"Paramedic!"

The paramedics took the dad, and Bobby walked back to the door.

"Where are you going?" Asked Hen.

"There's a kid in there." Bobby said, opening the door.

"Cap! Hey, Cap! Sal's got him!" Hen shouted, running over to them.

"Deluca, what the hell?!" Asked Bobby.

"Went out the back. Seemed safer." Sal says.

"Dad? Is my dad okay?" Asked Freddie.

Bobby closed the doors to the ambulance.

"Found him hiding in the bathroom. Smart kid. Probably saved his own life with that move." Sal tells him.

"Well, I'm glad somebody was thinking tonight." Bobby says, walking away from him.

Back at the firehouse, Sal and Tommy walked out of the locker room, and Bobby walked over to him...

"Deluca, I need a minute." Bobby said.

Sal continued walking away from him.

"Now, Deluca!" Bobby shouted.

"You're a piece of work. You come in here with your nose in the air and your eyes looking down." Said Sal.

Hen and Howie looked over and walked over to them.

"Sal, stop." Said Tommy.

"You might want to watch your tone there, Deluca." Bobby tells him.

"Why? 'Cause you're my captain? You're not. You're just the latest jackhole in a long line of jackholes that come into this house and think they know how to run it."
