As soon as things get out of hand in the family, duty calls. The crew of the 126 is sent to a bridge where a woman named Isla is about to jump. Wyatt—a young dispatcher with a caring personality, gets the call. Isla’s story makes you cry and she tells Wyatt that she doesn’t want her actions to hurt anyone.

Tensions at TK’s Dinner Party
Owen makes a promise to be nice to Enzo, but it doesn’t last long. Their long-running rivalry comes back to life at TK’s birthday dinner party with a friendly but competitive arm-wrestling match, a throwback to a match they had at TK’s bar mitzvah. Owen finally lets out all of his anger at Enzo, which makes him beat Enzo with all of his strength. Enzo breaks his wrist, and you can see the bone sticking out of his arm. This friendly fight takes a shocking turn.
TK is very angry about Owen’s aggressive move. Using the fact that Enzo helped him through tough times when Owen couldn’t, he says his father doesn’t accept Enzo’s place in his life. TK tells his father that Enzo was there for him during some of his hardest years and helped him deal with his addiction and encouraged him to become a firefighter.
Enzo’s Arrest Shakes the 126
The party goes in a strange direction just as things start to get better. When the FBI breaks into Enzo’s apartment, they find that he has been charged with fraud and conspiracy before. Everyone is shocked by how quickly Enzo was arrested, especially TK (Ronen Rubinstein) .

Enzo’s future and TK’s new car may both be in danger because of the federal charges. The car could be taken away as part of the investigation.
Tommy’s Secret Battle Against Cancer
While TK deals with problems in his family, Tommy Vega (Gina Torres), the captain of the paramedics, is having her own problems. Early in the show, we find out that Tommy has been told she has Stage 2B breast cancer. Even though it’s not hopeless—her outlook is bad. Tommy’s first thought is to keep her diagnosis a secret and only tell her coworker and friend Nancy.
Tommy has a lumpectomy to get rid of the tumor and some lymph nodes. She goes home determined to keep up with her normal routine. But while her strength is admirable, it comes at a price. Her young daughters freak out and call 911 when she passes out in front of them. By some strange luck, Wyatt (Jackson Pace) is the dispatcher who answers, and he helps the girls do CPR until help arrives.
Tommy has to face the limits of her strength because of this event. She tells her daughters about her diagnosis, and they are scared but supportive. Later, she tells Judd and Nancy about her condition. Tommy knows she needs to take a break and focus on her recovery, so she reluctantly decides to take time off from the 126 and names Nancy as her temporary paramedic captain.
At the end of the episode, Tommy realizes that even heroes need help. Her cancer journey is a moving reminder of the battles many people fight behind closed doors, and her willingness to ask for help shows how brave she is. The scene where she makes Nancy acting captain is especially moving because it shows how strong female friendships are and how people stick together when things get tough. Tommy is now in a new phase of her life where she can focus on getting better with the help of her family and friends.
