Station 19 2x04 "Lost And Found" Episode Review
Major Spoilers are in this episode review. Please Read With Caution.
I enjoyed this episode more than last week’s. It got stronger character development, a crazy fire scenario, and the beginning was kind of fun.
Dean’s house became the hangout spot. This is the reason he tried to keep his place a secret. But Jack told everyone, so obviously Vic had to go kayaking without asking first. Dean begins to notice Jack hanging out at his place a lot more like a safe house. He assumed Jack was getting over Andy and didn’t want to be alone.
Andy gave her phone number to someone. His name was Brad. She was ready to move on from Jack and Ryan. The problem? She gave her old house number to the cute guy. He called Pruitt, who was surprised and began to drill the man for answers. WHAT A SLIP UP!
Captain Sullivan assigned everyone new specialties. Maya was given a specialty that allowed her to get more experience for her impending promotion to Lieutenant. Andy was given the specialty of recruitment. She was not happy about being demoted, but Sullivan thought it fitted her perfectly.
Maya was also given leadership in the current call. At first, everything seemed under control until Jack and Dean discovered squatters were inside the building. Andy, Ben, Dean, Vic, and Jack were sent in to retrieve the victims. A girl named Zoe refused to leave without her friends and ended up leading the firefighters around the complex building.
The sprinkler system turned on them! Crap! A chemical was mixed in the water and ignited the flames, making the situation worse. Luckily, Andy managed to turn it back off before any of them could’ve been seriously injured.
On the outside, Sullivan checked in with Maya to see her next course of action, only to find her focusing on one small thing. Sullivan took back leadership after seeing she had no new plan to stop the fire or save her teammates.
He went into the building himself and extinguished the flames, getting his people and the victims out of there. Andy talks to Zoe afterwards and tells her she’d make an excellent firefighter. She recruited someone without making an effort. Sullivan reveals this is why he wanted Andy on recruitment… she has more passion for the job than anyone else.
Maya was not in the mood for Andy and hated that she wasn’t ready yet to take charge.
Jack tells Dean that his problem isn’t with Andy but with himself. He needs Dean’s house for a safe place. He revealed he grew up in the system and the two of them made amends, albeit a punch was thrown, but Jack deserved it.
Vic and Travis ended up at firefighter therapy. Vic talked with Chief Ripley, who was struggling with the night of the skyscraper more than anyone realized, and those two made up. Everyone was dealing with something, and together, they’d make it through.
Ryan had his own story in this episode. He ran into his con artist of a father. This was the first episode to have Ryan away from the firefighters and a sharp look at his background. He was raised a good man despite his horrible father. To beat him further down, Ryan learns about Andy moving on with Brad… I think he’s been through enough.
