The 118 was called to an emergency on a freeway, where a woman was trying to get her husband's attention. She was standing on an overpass sign and behind her was a big sheet saying "See me Norman.". Kate and Eddie were getting Buck ready to get the woman safe. 

"Hell no! I won't come down until Norman sees me!" Lola yelled to Athena and the rest of the cops. "And don't you try to force me down!"

"Nobody's gonna force you to do anything. We're just gonna talk. What's your name?" Athena said throught the cop car's radio.

"Lola!"

"Lola, my name's Athena. What's the problem?"

"The problem? The problem is, after 30 years of marriage, I can't get 30 seconds of attention from my husband. It's like I'm invisible. But I'm not invisible. I am here, damn it!" Lola yelled angrily. "See me, Norman! See me now." And with these three last words, Lola opened her robe to show her naked body as the crowd cheers.

"Oh, for God's sake." Kate said.

"Definitely not invisible." Eddie said with a sigh.

After a few minutes, a police officer went to get Norman who was also stuck in traffic.

"Lola, good news. We found your man. He's on his way." Athena said.

"I won't come down until he sees me!"

"Ma'am, you're the most famous face in the city right now. There ain't exactly a way to miss you."

"I don't care."

"Okay, move Buck into position." Bobby said into his radio and Buck started going down with Eddie and Kate's help to stand next to the woman. "Okay, Chim." Then Hen, Chim and the rest of the firefighters get an inflatable to prevent Lola from falling.

"No, no, no, no, no! What are you doing? I-I told you! I told you." Lola yelled as she saw the inflatable.

"It's just for your safety, Lola." Athena said and Buck got down on the freeway sign.

"I-I told you!"  Lola yelled and took out a gun from her robe pocket to shoot the inflatable.

"Hold your fire! Hold your fire!" Athena said to the other cops who were pointing at her with their guns. Lola then pointed at Buck with her gun.

Buck threw his hands in the air. Seeing this, Kate's heart skipped a beat. It was her brother that crazy woman was pointing at! She tried to see what's going on, but Eddie put his arm in front of her.

"Eddie." She muttered in anger mixed with concern. He didn't say anything though, only looked down at the two.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey." Buck said to Lola.

"Lola, listen to me very carefully. You now have every firearm on the Greater Los Angeles area pointed to you. If you continue to threaten that man, they will fire. Do you understand? Do you?" Athena warned.

"I don't want to hurt anybody." Lola said as she started putting the gun down which made Eddie and Kate a little bit more relaxed. "I just can't handle being ignored anymore."

Buck thought for a moment before he spoke up. " I know exactly what you mean."

"Oh, come on. Yeah, I'm-I'm sure you get ignored all the time." Lola said sarcastically.

"You have Norman. I had an Abby. You think that you have something... something special, you know? She's the one. So you wait. And then, at some point, it hits you: you're alone. Sh-She's not coming back. You're just there to collect the mail, and-and it is piling up, right? And then, you realize... 'you know what? It's over.'. You just need to face it and move on."
