Spoiler alert! This story comprises spoilers for the March 30 episode of Station 19, “By no means Gonna Give You Up.” Make sure you’re caught up earlier than you proceed studying!
As anticipated, Sean Beckett was nowhere to be seen on Station 19, after the embattled hearth captain left to hunt assist for his consuming downside. It solely took a Station 88 firefighter dying, Andy Herrera staging a mutiny (sorry, “revolution”), and Beckett going rogue for any motion to be taken, and even then, he stepped down voluntarily. As such, Hearth Chief Natasha Ross can’t hearth him — irrespective of how grave his errors have been — so he shall be returning to 19 sooner or later. Till then, although, Ross named Theo Ruiz the performing captain, however did she make the correct selection? Let’s have a look at her choices:
Andy Herrera
Theo (Carlos Miranda) wasn’t Ross’ first selection for the interim place. She first approached Andy (Jaina Lee Ortiz). That was the correct selection, for my part, as a result of it looks like she has confirmed time and time once more since returning to 19 that she has the respect and talent to carry the place. Andy turned down the job, although, as a result of she mentioned if and when she turns into captain, she doesn’t need it to be a brief place. That’s respectable, as a result of I can’t think about the humiliation of Andy having to step down for Beckett when he returns.
Robert Sullivan
When Andy turned down the place, she instructed Ross (Merle Dandridge) promote Robert Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe), as a result of he additionally had the respect of the firefighters and labored properly with Ross (she mentioned with a figuring out wink). The chief didn’t take Andy’s recommendation, probably due to her ongoing romantic (and top-secret) relationship with him. Ross gained’t even disclose their relationship for concern of shedding the place she labored so arduous for, so it’s no shock that she gained’t danger wanting like she’s exhibiting favoritism.
Theo Ruiz
Chief Ross cited Ruiz’s investigation into the arson on the barbershop in his outdated neighborhood for the rationale she was naming him performing captain, saying his dedication and professionalism has been distinctive. Now, don’t get me incorrect, as a result of Theo is one in every of my favourite Station 19 firefighters, however as we noticed by way of Vic Hughes (Barrett Doss) on this episode, Theo hasn’t precisely been himself currently. Additionally, the preview for subsequent week’s episode makes it appear to be the occasions of his previous captaincy — wherein his finest good friend and Travis’ husband Michael died — may play into his decision-making. Test it out under:
Station 19 shall be again at 8 p.m. ET Thursday, April 6, on ABC, and within the meantime, take a look at our 2023 TV schedule to see what premieres are arising.
