I want you to know, I need you to know that what happened with Michael, it didn’t just destroy Travis. It doesn’t just haunt Travis. He’s not the only one reliving that day over and over and god, I’m not saying it’s the same. I can’t imagine what he feels, what I made him feel, but that day, it didn’t just destroy Travis.

Theo

Sullivan: Andy, I have more experience than you, decades more. It’s just a fact.
Andy: Are you trying helping yourself here?
Sullivan: Can I finish? I have years under my belt, OK, but I’m not using them on the job. So I guess I thought I could use them to help you. Help that you didn’t ask for, I get it. I just… come on, I just need you to understand where I’m coming from.
Andy: Look, I get that you hate being a probie. I hate you being a probie.
Sullivan: We found a common ground. Let’s just end it that way.
Andy: No, Robert, we need to talk about this.
Sullivan: You’re only captain for another shift, and then Bishop comes back, and it won’t be a problem anymore.
Andy: Yeah, except I’ll still be your lieutenant, and hopefully one day soon after that, a captain for real.
Sullivan: Not hopefully. You will.
Andy: Then this is a problem we need to solve.

Maya: These past few weeks, we settled into us. I mean, sometimes I know what you’ll say by how you crinkle your left eyebrow, and it’s…
Carina: Wonderful.
Maya: Wonderful and lovely and satisfying and something that I have never had before. But you and Gabriela have never really dated and you still seem to have this shorthand. I mean you literally speak the same language.
Carina: But we’ve known each other for years. It’s like the shorthand you have with Jack, talking about firehoses and ladder trucks.
Maya: That’s different
Carina: Yeah, it is different. What you and I is… fantastic. Maya, it’s ours. It’s just ours.

Dean: It’s a dangerous job. We all signed up for…
Travis: I know it’s a dangerous job, which is why we have to do it right. We have to do it well. We have to not make stupid mistakes that cost… Everything, he cost me everything, man. And he left me with nothing. I got nothing. He left me with a bunch of pieces of who I used to be, and I have spent years, years, trying to put myself back together. I’ve spent years trying to get over what he took from me. So he doesn’t get to make a mistake that cost me everything and walk away from it.

Maya: Carina’s ex sex buddy is visiting.
Jack: So, uh, this is like a jealousy thing.
Maya: Uh no.
Jack: Carina’s grieving and a friend she used to have some sex with is here to comfort her, kinda like what you’re doing now.
Maya: Ugh, I’m such a dummy.
Jack: Not in general; about relationships, yes.
Maya: Carina comes alive with her in ways I haven’t seen in weeks. I mean she’s laughing again, eating again…
Jack: You feel threatened. Carina, she loves you. She’s also going through the worse thing any of us can imagine. So if she’s eating and laughing and smiling again, who cares why.
Maya: This is why I don’t deal with feelings because they become other people’s problems.

Sullivan: Where’s that coming from?
Andy: Robert, you second guessed me all day. You’ve questioned my every move. I mean you even made me second guess myself.
Sullivan: What are you talking about?
Andy: What am I talking about? You contradicted me in front of my team.
Sullivan: To save a patient.
Andy: No, you disregarded explicit orders.
Sullivan: Ah, the way you did when I was your captain.
Andy: When you were my captain, you benched me for insubordination.
Sullivan: You want to bench me? Andy, everything I did today was to help you, to help you be a better captain.
Andy: Except I didn’t ask for your help, Robert. And what does it say that you constantly think I need it.

Gabriela: We never dated. We didn’t really have time, did we?
Carina: Nor did we have the energy. Oh my god.
Gabriela: We were in school. We were just working hard.
Carina: Yeah, so many hours a week.
Gabriela: We just needed an outlet. So, [speaking Italian], we had sex.
Maya: Yep, I remember that one.

Maya: So you guys grew up together?
Carina: No, we’ve been friends only since medical school.
Gabriela: Well, friends, I mean that too. [Speaking Italian] We also had a lot of sex.
Carina: Yeah…
Maya: Yeah, no, I got that one. I remembered that one.

Vic: Did you know?
Theo: Know what?
Vic: That I knew Travis? That I worked here with him?
Theo: Of course not.
Vic: So you’re swearing you had no idea.
Theo: Vic, no.
Vic: Stop.
Theo: I didn’t know you guys were friends.
Vic: We’re not friends.
Theo: What?
Vic: He is not my friend. We live together because he took me in when I had no place else to go. He was there for me after my fiancé died. He has saved my life more times than I can count, so we are not friends. He is a part of me.
Theo: Guess that makes me the villain then, right? No need to hear my side.
Vic: What side? You got his husband killed. There is no side. That is the only side.

Travis: No, I’m not OK. I’m very far from OK. I never thought I’d have to see him again.
Vic: You mean the sub? Wait, you know him?
Travis: He’s Michael’s captain.
Vic: Michael’s captain, you’re saying that guy is…
Travis: The guy that got my husband killed.

Dean: I want those officers punished for what they did to me and Joyce, and I want justice.
Condola: OK, so you don’t know yet?
Dean: I just said that I want…
Condola: Justice, it means nothing. And not just in this current climate of public opinion; it never has because justice is subjective. There is no one way to get justice, and especially not with what you went through. So ask yourself what is the best possible outcome of your decision to take on not only the Seattle Police Department, but the very institution of policing in this country. What do you, Dean Miller, firefighter, hope to achieve?

Vic: Just let’s not tell anyone anything.
Theo: Right, so you don’t want to make this a thing?
Vic: I don’t want our thing to become everyone’s thing.
Theo: Yeah, yeah, I got it. As long as this is still our thing.
Vic: Yeah.
