"My God, that's the biggest damn fire I've ever seen." Chim said sarcastically as he, Bobby and Kate looked up at the building where no flames were seen.

"I hate fire drills." Hen said as she and Eddie walked to the dire hydrant to prepare the hose.

"City mandates we do 'em every three years." Eddie said. "Can't fight city hall."

"First alarm was triggered at 12:20. Call came in 30 seconds later." Bobby informed. "Boots down, hoses out, 12:43."

"That's what?" Eddie asked.

"Four minutes over our allotted response time." Bobby said.

"Ouch, that's gonna cost us some points." Kate said as she prepared the hose.

"Someone's gotta explain that to the new fire marshall." Hen said as she looked at no other than Evan Buckley.

The rest of the team, then along with Hen, looked at Bobby. They got ready to get into the building. Kate sent Bobby a sympathetic smile as he would be dealing with Buck, not in a good way. He's been working in a light duty as Bobby had informed the team. Kate, Chim and Hen passed by Buck.

"This is a fake fire. Why can't we use fake hoses?" Chim asked before looking at Buck, both girls doing the same. "Hey, Buck, how we doing?"

"You don't wanna know." Buck admitted. Kate sighed and the trio made their way to Bobby and Eddie who were walking to the entrance of the stairs.

When they arrived, a lot of people fell like dominos during the drill making them groan in pain. Eddie and Kate rushed to the people, ready to help and sure that there would be a lot of injuries. Hen and Chim followed the couple and started helping people. When they finished, Bobby and Kate started making their way to the truck but Buck catched them in the middle of the way, walking next to Kate.

"Well, it's a good thing this wasn't an actual five-alarm fire." Buck noted. Kate gave Bobby a look, him doing the same thing, before they looked away to look foward.

"Yeah, that is a good thing." Bobby simply said.

"Probably doesn't help that you're a man down." He said to Bobby. Kate narrowed her eyebrows. "You know, I will be sure to mention that in my report."

"Thanks." Bobby said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he walked faster to the truck, leaving the twins alone.

"No problem." Buck said proudly. Kate looked at him and rolled her eyes sighing. "What?" He asked innocently. She walked to the truck and they went back to the station to finish their shift.

Before going home, Kate, Hen and Karen went to the Grant/Nash house to gossip as usual. Harry and Denny were playing on Denny's Nintendo Switch while the women talked.

"You've had it twice as long as me." Harry complained, trying to take the Switch out of Denny's hands. Hen made her way to the boys.

"It's not even your game." Denny complained back.

"Denny, let Harry have a turn." Hen said calmly but firmly.

"Why can't he play with his own stuff?" Denny asked.

"Cut it out." Hen stated. "Play nice, or I'll take the game away." And with that, Denny sighed but gave the Switch to Harry so he could have a turn, Hen made her way back to the table. 

"We have one more round of tests, and then we do the trigger shot to induce ovulation. 36 hours later, we go in for the egg retrieval. Doctor's hoping to grab 15."Karen explained. She and Hen were trying to get pregnant with a sperm donor.
