Airplane Crash
- Reason for 911 Call:
- Tammy noticed the aircraft has caught fire in midair.
- Dale Marks calls 911 3 minutes before the aircraft ditched, wishing the 911 dispatch center to deliver one last message to his wife, Anne Marks, in the unfortunate case of his death.
- Process:
- The vehicle was already ditched and burning in the water right as Bobby, Hen and Buck arrive, with Coast Guard, Police and other rescue vehicles on scene. Bobby is given command of the incident by Wally, and he orders Hen to check with the Coast Guard helicopters. Athena, who was just refuting Candace and Paul Creedy for Laila's imprisonment over controlled substances, responds around the same time and meets Airport Security Captain Dowers who briefs her on the situation. They receive a report of an aggressive passenger, and Athena proceeds to assume control of the incident. Bobby, Buck and Hen reach the sinking aircraft and assess its damage, with Bobby guessing they have four minutes to get them away and on the beach when Buck becomes curious. Hen infiltrates the chassis and deploys a raft for the passengers. The three then rescue a man constrained by his seatbelt. Buck takes Tammy's son Jake to a rescue vehicle, while Bobby tries to rescue Tammy. The aircraft starts sinking further, and Buck is sent to look around. Hen discovers a couple stuck in the bathroom, and Buck stops another boat from leaving, using its assistance to clear their way before escorting the couple off. With little time left, Hen tries to get Buck to leave, and Bobby orders all rescue units to withdraw. However, Buck goes against orders to save Bobby with a hoist, who seemingly drowns inside the aircraft. At the last moment, he manages to break Tammy loose, and a rescue helicopter pulls both up safely, much to Hen and Buck's relief, as Bobby watches the sinking fuselage. The rescue teams return to the beach, where Jake is reunited with Tammy who thanks Bobby for his efforts. Likewise, Hannah and Billy thank Buck, who gets a call from Abby asking if Dale Marks survived, and he gives a negative response after confirming the death. Eventually, Abby gets Annie Marks to hear over her husband's last words, who tears up in despair. Bobby remains at his home, hallucinating about his deceased family and passes out after overdosing until Buck and Hen find him when he was absent from work and shower him. Bobby apologizes and breaks down, although the two others assure they'll support him whenever he needs them. Athena boards an aircraft to find the rioting passenger being restrained with duct tape for attacking Airport Police due to being stalled for eight hours with his father's coffin inside the cargo hold, and was especially agitated when said officer was acting on orders of an airline instead of the police. Furious of how it played out, Athena declares all passengers "under arrest" as an excuse to disembark them, to their applause, and she later leaves the airport as well. Athena was summoned to Captain E. Maynard's desk, not because of the airline incident (in which case she was cleared of any charges) but instead about arresting Laila Creedy for using personal judgement on the case. As a result, she removed from the field temporarily.
Trivia[]
- As Chimney is in recovery, Kenneth Choi does not appear as Howard Han in this episode, marking the first time in the series that a main character was absent.
- Rockmond Dunbar also did not make a physical appearance, as Michael is only heard once when calling Athena.
- Hen mentions Buck’s birthmark, on his left eye. This is actor Oliver Stark’s real birthmark.
