Boy, was Fergie ever wrong when she sang “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody.” The Firefighter’s Ball in Station 19’s Season 6 finale bumped off one series regular, nearly took out another and left the life of a third with a big ol’ question mark hanging over it.
Oh, and there was no entrée, either, owing to a fire in the walls of the hotel!
Even before Kitty smelled smoke, the bash was a disaster. Ben didn’t want to be there to receive his Medal of Valor. Ross’ appointment of Andy as Station 19’s new captain so ticked off Sullivan that he broke up with the chief. Theo, continuing his aggressive pursuit of the Most Intolerable Character prize, called it quits with Vic. And Jack’s date with Chaos Kate was such a dud that he preferred looking after Nanette, the very pregnant waitress intent on giving her baby up for adoption. In fact, when she went into labor, Gibson was only too happy to volunteer to drive her to Grey Sloan. He just needed to get his keys from the coat closet, where he spied… ugh! Theo making out with Kate. (Consider that Most Intolerable Prize yours, Ruiz!)
Soon, Andy and union president Drew Ferris (Nancy Drew’s Riley Smith) discovered that the dance floor of the hotel was about to collapse. Before they could get everyone to electric-slide to safety, however, down it went, taking with it, among others, Ross, Kate, Dixon and Nanette. Jack nearly fell, too, but was pulled to safety after hitting his head. Hard. Again.
Once Nanette was extricated from the rubble, Carina and Ben operated in the kitchen to try to save both the baby and its mother. The newborn looked like it made it, but Nanette’s fate was unclear. (Perhaps Station 19 is going to let Carina and Maya adopt a la Jo/Luna on Grey’s Anatomy?) After Sullivan found Natasha, he took back everything he’d said earlier. He didn’t want to give up on them — and he wouldn’t, not so long as she awakened. Right on cue, her eyes opened, and the lovers shared what was probably their first-ever kiss that wasn’t in secret.
Kate, it appeared, was going to be fine. Dixon, on the other hand… Despite Travis’ best efforts to save Emmett’s dad, the creep died. (Maybe we don’t need him anymore if Theo is going to be a full-on jerky villain now?) In the episode’s and the season’s final moments, it looked like Jack was on his way to tell Vic about Theo and Kate’s hookup when he collapsed. Had he gotten a concussion? What was going on? We wouldn’t find out until next season’s premiere.
Grade the finale below, then hit the comments. Are Sully and Tasha the next firehouse wedding? Should the new powers that be bring back Ferris? And Carina and Maya are totally getting Nanette’s baby, right?
I really don’t know why I keep watching this show. They’re only 4 characters that I even like. The rest I ff thru every week 😂😂
Yes! Literally the only reason he got the job was because Andy turned it down. Then with Jack demoted, Maya on probation and Sully’s relationship with the chief, he was the only other option. Yet he acts like he got the job on his own merits.
Still don’t understand why we spent all that time building up Andy and Sullivan for them to call it quits on their marriage and seem to barely be friends now. He even got her dad’s approval before he died.
No kidding, most of the men on this show are intolerable whiney babies. Honestly none of these people are mature enough to be captain. I was cheering for Beckett this whole time to get his act together and show them up.
How any of these people are working in the same firehouse I will never understand. There is no way 4 people who consider themselves captain should ever be in the same house.
Kinda wish they had killed Theo while they were at it, but no way they’d kill a third Vic love interest. But he really is the douchiest douche to douche right now. Vic deserves so much better.
Vic looked so pretty!
I agree. Their relationship hasn’t been the same since the abortion. I think he resents her for it even though they both agreed they weren’t ready.
I am glad the Chief did not die. I have really come to like her. Sully does not deserve her. And not deserving is the way Jerky Theo treated Vic! Good season finale.
I knew they wasn’t going to kill the Chief. Although that would have been more unpredictable than killing the old white guy.
Theo has been a tool the last few weeks since he was appointed temporary captain. Glad Andy got it! Goodbye Dixon (it’s about time!)
Jack better be ok!
Ugh – get rid of Ross please and get Sully and Andy back together!! Sully and Andy’s chemistry is off the charts even when they only have ten seconds together. I’m just bored with Ross. Many other interesting female characters/storylines.
I disagree. Ross and sully is better imo. I didn’t really care for her character but she’s gotten better.
I want Andy and Sullivan back together to. You can see that they still love each other. Find Chief Ross a new love with someone else please.
As long as Sully and Tarsha get married, Tarsha stay fire chief I’m happy. These two people deserve that
I love Ross and Sullivan together, they are beautiful together…get rid of Bishop, Carrina can stay
Great show don’t ever cancel
Where was the hotel the finale was film
ed in. Looks like The Fairmont in Seattle
Jack better be back and ok. He is my fave character
Did Ross refuse Medical Treatment after she came too and kissed Sully ??
Yeah in a way she said she wanted to stay to make sure everyone got out ok. Then I think she was going to go get checked out.
That dress that Bailey was wearing was fire 🔥! She (and Ben, who always looks hot) definitely deserved ogling!
I am still not over the killing off of Vic’s fiance in the first season. Vic deserves better, much better. I don’t like Theo for Vic.
Goodbye, Dixon! I hope Jack makes it but there have been so many calamities involving him that maybe it’s time to retire the character. Going to be interesting when the “fall” premiere is going to be if they don’t resolve the writers’ strike soon
Pretty sure no scripted shows are airing on abc until mid season so January at the earliest
I was very upset to see both Alaska Daily and Big Country cancelled. Alaska Daily was
Also a teach tool about native Americans. Big Country was exciting and loved the storylines.
Big Sky
I may be alone in this, but I was hoping for an update on Beckett. I thought last week’s episode with Vic and him was powerful. It also underscored the incompatibility of Theo and Vic.
If Gibson dies, I will be DEVASTATED!! He’s my fave! I wish he had gotten with Jo on Greys!
How many men at Station 19, has Andy slept with. I got Jack, Sully, Beckett and though he wasn’t part of 19, Ryan the police officer. Did miss anyone else ??
Four men in six years, hardly “slut-shaming” worthy is it now? Weird thing to focus on.
I hope Sullivan doesn’t end up with Ross. I don’t like them together. I’m holding out for Sullivan and Herrera to get back together eventually. Ferris should come back, I like Riley Smith. Maya and Carina should get the baby.
