Buck rushes from the locker room to line up, skidding to a stop next to Chimney. His brother-in-law glances over out of the corner of his eye, "where were you?"

"There was traffic on the way here from the 217," buck whispers.

"You're still giving Tommy a ride to work?"

"Yeah, his car is still getting worked on," Buck responds just as Captain Gerrard walks over.

"You're late, Buckley," the grey-haired man says, "and your uniform is sloppy."

"I'm sorry, sir. I got stuck in traffic again," Buck says, keeping his eyeline straightforward.

"Funny enough, Buckley, after you were 'stuck in traffic' two days in a row, I drove your route to work today. I didn't run into any traffic that caused me to be late. Care to explain?"

"Busted," Chimney whispers.

"Yes, sir, well, I wasn't coming here from my place. I was coming here from the 217, sir," Buck responds.

"The 217? What in God's name were you doing there? Looking for a transfer? You don't like your new captain, so you jump ship?"

"No, sir," Buck responds.

"Then, tell me why," Gerrard says, "I'm very curious."

"I was dropping off Firefighter Kinard, sir."

"Right," Gerrard says with a chuckle, "I had heard a rumor that you joined the fruit salad."

"Captain, while I understand you're stuck in the 1800s, you can't say things like that," Chimney says.

"Well then, Han, you and Buckley can be on latrine duty. I want those bathrooms so clean you could eat out of the toilets. Everyone's dismissed."

"Sorry, Chim," Buck says softly, "I didn't mean for you to get pulled into it."

"Buck, I pulled myself into it," Chimney responds.

"Yeah," Buck says before making his way towards the bathroom.

"Buckley, you're not going out on any calls until your work here is done."

"Hey, Buckley, I left you a token of appreciation in your locker," Gerrard yells from upstairs as Buck walks in.

In confusion, Buck makes his way towards the locker room, seeing his locker look normal. Even more confused, Buck opens his locker, stepping back as a bunch of paper butterflies fall onto the floor. Hanging in the locker is a bright pink tutu. He hears loud laughter to see Gerrard standing there, doubled over as he laughs hysterically.

"Very funny, captain," Buck says with a fake laugh.

"Get it? because you're a fruitcake," Gerrard says through laughter.

"I get it sir, very clever," Buck responds.

"Well, line up is in ten, get all of this cleaned up before."
