Ashleigh helped her into the back and through the window...

"Let's go!" Lucy shouted.

"Come on. She's got you." Ashleigh said.

Bobby: "Donato, Gilbert, grab mom and evacuate the pickup now! We need to fall back and let the bomb squad get to work."

Ashleigh grabbed the tool she had used to break the window.

"Hey!" Lucy shouted, getting Ravi's attention.

"Be right back!" Ashleigh shouted, disappearing into the car.

"Hey!" Lucy shouted.

Ashleigh: "Okay, heads up. Dad's coming your way."

Eddie: "What? How... Ash, get out of the truck!"

Bobby: "Then who's driving the truck?"

Ashleigh was sitting in the driver's seat with her foot on the pedal, looking ahead of her.

Ashleigh placed the tool against the pedal, hoping it held long enough.

"Hey, Gilbert, come on!" Lucy shouted, putting a harness around Sasha.

Ashleigh grunted, twisting the tool and locking it into place, and Ashleigh slowly removed her foot from the pedal.

Lucy placed a hook on the harness, and Sasha grabbed the ladders, pulling himself up.

"Gilbert, let's go!" Lucy shouted.

Ashleigh climbed through the back window, rolling across the truck. Ashleigh stood up, motioning for Lucy to go.

Ashleigh groaned lightly, lifting Lucy up, and Ashleigh stumbled back, seeing Lucy on the ladder.

"Come on, Gilbert!" Lucy shouted.

Athena: "It's too far! She's not gonna make it."

Ashleigh stared at the ladders, looking around, and Ashleigh stepped back.

Ashleigh exhaled, running forward and jumping, and Ashleigh's stomach hit the ladders, and she dangled from them.

Bobby sat there staring at Ashleigh's legs, and Ashleigh grunted, feeling her hands slip.

"I got you. I got you." Lucy muttered, grabbing Ashleigh's hand and pulling her onto the ladder.

Bobby: "All units fall back."

The 147 and the 118 all stopped their fire trucks, and the pickup truck continued driving.

Ashleigh grunted, trying to pull herself up, and the pickup truck crashed into the cones, crashing, and water sprayed everywhere.

Ashleigh dropped down from the ladders, grunting lightly, and Lucy looked down, seeing she was fine.

Lucy frowned, staring at Ashleigh's back, and saw Ashleigh and Bobby walking towards the car.

"So the bomb was fake?" Asked Ashleigh.

Athena signed, walking after Ashleigh and Bobby. Bobby quickly grabbed Ashleigh, pulling her away, and the car exploded.

"Nope. It wasn't fake." Ashleigh murmured, looking back at Athena.

Later, Eddie was in his office, and Josh knocked on the door...

"Hey, Eddie. Headed out? Big plans tonight?" Asked Josh.

"Josh. Hi. Uh, nothing big. Just having drinks with a few friends."

"That sounds fun. Unlike earlier, with the bomb in the truck. That was a pretty wild situation." Josh says.

"It sure was."

"Great catch on the secondary trigger." Josh said.

"Thanks, but Ash would've figured it out."

"You know, you could've come to me with your concerns."
