Hen’s first day at medical school hits snag when she clashes with her lab partner due to her age. Meanwhile, when Buck tells Maddie that he’s seeing a therapist, Maddie debates whether or not to reveal a secret from their childhood. Hen, Eddie and Buck prepare to go out of state to help fight wildfire down in Texas.
Tropes featured in the episode:
- Academic Alpha Bitch: Sydney, a member of Hen's cohort, acts superior to others in the class, and particularly looks down on Hen for beginning med school at 40. She becomes more civil and polite after her confrontation with Hen, though.
- Crossover: With 9-1-1: Lone Star. Hen, Eddie and Buck all get ready to head out to Texas at the episode's end, to help out with raging forest fire. The corresponding 9-1-1: Lone Star episode ("Hold the Line") has the trio helping out the 126 team.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Hen tears into Sydney over her smug attitude, after which Sydney genuinely apologizes and accepts that she was wrong.
- Sequel Hook: The ending shows Buck, Hen, and Eddie on their way to Austin to assist with putting out a wildfire that has broken out.
