Station 19 2x03 "Home to Hold onto" Episode Review
Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please Read with Caution.
Andy is starting to become unlikable. She’s too focused on herself that she’s forgetting what it means to work as a team. Right now, she is currently living with Maya after moving out of her father’s house. This is a big adjustment, but everyone is adjusting pretty well to it.
Maya and Andy have issues to work out.
In this episode, Andy is too self-absorbed to realize other people may have different opinions than her. Then she wonders why she keeps screwing up instead of congratulating Maya for making the right call or respecting Captain Sullivan for doing his job.
Maya is a loyal friend and my favorite character on the show. She is as experienced as Andy and deserves a chance to prove herself. The hearing problem is still lingering when Sullivan catches that her volume is turned all the way up on her walkie. At least the writers didn’t forget about that detail. It will come back to bite her in the ass… maybe after her application for lieutenant goes through.
Pruitt and Andy have a heart to heart. He tells her essentially that she’s mad at herself for not getting the Captain job and was damn close to getting it too. She has to find a way to let it go before it costs her any more of her self-respect or her teammates’.
Vic and Travis are also dealing with issues. Vic is furious at Travis for giving up on himself and on her… She’s angry that he chose to die instead of fighting to live. Captain Sullivan breaks up this fight right away and tells them to take it somewhere else… they are keeping it professional in this Fire Station!
What a good scene!
Also like how Vic is getting with a hottie from another Fire Station. Good for you!
Jack and Ryan are stuck in a car together. I enjoyed this subplot of theirs because it gives them the chance to discuss their working relationship. Andy has broken up with both of them and has no intention of getting back with either of them. There’s no reason why they can’t be friends or civil with each other.
I enjoyed how Ryan was the hero, but Jack was given all the credit. It shows how people have different views on firefighters and police officers. Ryan was the one who spotted the man and his little girl, picked up on all the details, and made the right calls on handling the situation.
By the end, Jack and Ryan grew a sense of newfound respect for each other. It was quite neat.
Side note: Dean has a nice house that he invites nobody over to. He wants his peace. Ben Warren was around, but he didn’t do much in the episode either.
