Still in the truck...

"Look, we've had a crappy day. It happens. But it didn't happen because of a curse or a hex or because someone said the word qu..." Eddie says.

"Hey, hey, don't!" Bobby shouted.

"Ed, finish that word, and I'll throw you out of this truck." Ashleigh muttered.

"Yeah, I'll help." Hen says.

"Come on, Ash. You can't really believe in all this, Bobby." Eddie said, turning around in his seat.

"You know, Cap, you have been pretty silent today about all this jinx stuff. Yeah, it's pretty suspiciously silent." Ashleigh murmured, nodding her head.

"Yeah, Cap, come on, where do you stand? Jinx or no jinx?" Buck asked.

"Aren't we all a little superstitious? People don't like to walk under ladders; some floors don't have a 13th floor; we bless people after the sneeze." Bobby says.

"Some of us even wear a good luck charm around their neck." Ashleigh mumbled, staring at Eddie.

Everyone slowly turned to Eddie, giving Eddie a look.

"Okay, that's not the same thing, Ash." Eddie tells Ashleigh.

"To you, wearing that medal reminds you of your son and helps you feel better about the day. So if Ash wants to ring some bells so she can feel better, what's wrong with that?" Asked Bobby.

"Thanks, Cap, but you didn't actually answer the question, though." Ashleigh murmured, tilting her head and hearing sirens.

They then saw another fire truck pulling around the corner.

"And help has arrived. Look at that. Wait, and help is stopping... to take freaking pictures of us trapped in our very own engine. Great. Freaking brilliant." Ashleigh mumbled.

Ashleigh and Hen put their heads down

Ashleigh and Hen put their heads down.

"And the jinx continues." Ashleigh mumbled.

Later that night, Ashleigh was cleaning the kitchen, and Ashleigh saw Eddie walking upstairs...

"Thought you were hitting the bunk." Ashleigh says.

"Couldn't sleep." Eddie says, walking over to the fridge.

"Maybe that curse is getting to you too." Ashleigh said.

"Or maybe I just couldn't sleep." Eddie tells Ashleigh.

"Yeah, welcome to the club." Chimney mumbled, sitting at a table and reading a book.

"Am I interrupting book club?" Eddie asked, staring at Chimney and Hen.

"Medical, babies, baby pictures of Ashleigh." Hen said.

"Wondered why Buck had a book in his hand, but now it all makes sense." Eddie mumbled, looking at a baby picture of Ashleigh. "Cute baby, though, Ash."
