Spoiler alert! This story accommodates spoilers for Station 19’s Season 6 episode “Even Higher Than the Actual Factor,” which aired March 16.
One other week on Station 19, one other catastrophe for the firefighters on the hand of Sean Beckett. Viewers have seen the hearth captain retreat to his workplace, draw the blinds and pull out his hidden bottle of booze a number of occasions this season, and whereas his group might not really see him taking his nips, their suspicions are fairly excessive. I’d ask who has to die earlier than Beckett is held accountable for his substance abuse on the job, however we sadly acquired our reply to that query in “Even Higher Than the Actual Factor.”
Station 19 held a coaching day with the firefighters from Station 88, whose lieutenant Cooper (Johnny Wactor) turned out to be Beckett’s former probie. Throughout the ultimate drill of the day, an explosion went off in what was imagined to be a managed surroundings, and Cooper died from his accidents. Suspicions instantly turned to Beckett (Josh Randall) — particularly for Theo Ruiz (Carlos Miranda), who has been vocally important of his captain. Will Cooper’s loss of life be the occasion that lastly forces the Seattle Hearth Division to comprehend Beckett is unfit?
I actually hope the reply to that query is sure, as a result of Station 19 has been kicking this could down the highway since final season, when Robert Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe) tried to persuade hearth chief Natasha Ross (Merle Dandridge) that Beckett was ingesting on the job. Nothing was ever in a position to be confirmed, although, and Season 6 up to now has been a collection of close to misses.
This wasn’t a miss, although, and a Station 88 firefighter is useless. No one appeared extra affected by that than Theo, a former captain himself who as soon as made a mistake that price his finest good friend and Travis Montgomery’s husband Michael his life. Theo’s will to maintain any extra firefighters from dying prompted him to confront Beckett, demanding that he both take a Breathalyzer take a look at or give them his water bottle to see what liquid was in it. (Beckett clearly refused.)
Theo and Vic Hughes (Barrett Doss) might have been essentially the most clearly offended with Beckett after Cooper’s loss of life, however Andy Herrera (Jaina Lee Ortiz) and Sullivan additionally expressed issues, and it appears like in subsequent week’s episode, Andy takes issues into her personal fingers. Take a look at the preview beneath:
Josh Randall was promoted to a collection common forward of Season 6, so no matter what occurs to Beckett within the aftermath of Cooper’s loss of life, the character probably isn’t going wherever.
We’ll should see what precisely goes down and if that is (lastly) the top of Beckett’s captaincy when Station 19 returns at 8 p.m. ET Thursday, March 23, on ABC. Within the meantime, try our 2023 TV schedule to see what different reveals are premiering quickly.
