As someone who has fought and gone into remission from his lung cancer, Owen Strand hosts a fundraiser for Stand Up to Cancer, at the firehouse, knowing it’s a killer among firefighters.
During the fundraiser, Owen meets and interacts with a woman, Kendra Harrington, who is working as the bartender. He later brings her home and sleeps with her, only to wake up and find a cheque from her in the amount of $100,000.
Finding out Kendra comes from a wealthy family, Owen has thoughts that maybe she’s a sex worker, and further believes that after she leaves him another cheque in the amount of $40,000 after sleeping with her again.
Eventually confronting her about the money, Kendra reveals the cheques were donations, as her brother died from lung cancer.
Elsewhere, the 126 paramedics are caught up in a response feud with their former employer, Paragon.
Paragon has cut a deal with the City of Austin, and is now responding to public calls, despite being a private crew.
As T.K., Tommy and Nancy wheel a patient they treated for having an eye obstruction out to their ambulance, Paragon pulls up, Pearce is shown to now be working for Paragon.
The patient T.K., Nancy and Tommy have attended to is a valued ‘client,’ of Paragon, and after sweet talking and offering her amenities, Pearce and his partner steal the 126’s patient.
Later, as Dan, a dialysis patient whose permacath gets ripped out of his leg on a public bus and tears his femoral artery, Paragon gets privately dispatched to the scene.
Tommy, who heard Paragon get dispatched, also responds with T.K. and Nancy, calling 911 dispatcher Grace and having her help the 126 ambulance beat Paragon to the scene.
As they get Dan out of the bus and on the stretcher, his blood pressure begins bottoming out, leading Tommy to tell Pearce if Paragon still carries whole blood in their ambulance, the patient is his.
Following that, the 126 respond to a perfume factory with an unknown substance entering the air and causing the building to be evacuated, with some employees complaining of dizziness.
As the all clear is later given, with the substance ending up being Isoeugenol, T.K., Nancy and Tommy seeing Pearce and his partner putting their patient on a stretcher, which is determined to be unnecessary.
As Pearce gets into the back of the ambulance with the patient, the Paragon ambulance explodes within seconds, leading T.K. to run towards it to get Pearce and the patient out of the now charred ambulance.
As Nancy and Tommy wheel a struggling to breathe Pearce towards the 126 ambulance, T.K. begins CPR on the patient.
Later, Tommy visits Pearce in the hospital, and he thanks her for saving his life, and then reveals he’ll be suing Paragon for twenty million dollars, as the explosion was caused by faulty equipment in the rig.
Thoughts
It was very interesting seeing Pearce return. Knowing he was returning, I wasn’t too thrilled to see him, originally, as he has animosity towards the 126. But I really enjoyed the way he kept stealing the 126’s patients, as Tommy increasingly got more and more annoyed.
I loved seeing a more medical side to a 911 Lone Star episode than seeing the firefighters respond to rescues, as it gave T.K., Nancy and Tommy the chance to shine, and show the audience how well the trio works together.
My favourite scene was when T.K. sprinted to the Paragon ambulance after it exploded, because despite disliking Pearce, he immediately slipped into paramedic mode and got the injured Pearce and the patient out of the ambulance, which shows how great of a paramedic is. It gave a little glimpse to his past firefighter background, racing into an ambulance that just exploded, and it shows us how big of a heart T.K. has in helping people in his job.
Next Episode
Episode 4×11, ‘Double Trouble,’ airs on April 4.
4×11 synopsis: The 126 races to rescue a woman with an arrow shot into her neck; Judd is doubly surprised by news Wyatt shares; Mateo helps a family member in need and comes to regret it.
I am excited to see Wyatt return to the screen and see more of his relationship with Judd and Grace. Part of me thinks his announcement will be something like dropping out of college, as that is news that someone his age would most likely share, so I’m excited to see what his news is.
I am also excited to see Julian Works play two characters, as he’ll also be portraying Marvin, Mateo’s cousin. It’s going to be very interesting to see Julian play two different characters with different personalities in one episode.
