In the middle of the night, Brian and his crew respond to a house fire and learn that a child has been left behind in her bedroom. Brian can’t find the child in her bedroom, instead finding her in her mother’s bedroom. He pulls her out, reflecting on how he is often able to save strangers, but can’t always save the people who matter most to him. Julia arrives at the firehouse as Brian makes breakfast for his crew. He tells her that Sara thinks Anna only wants attention.

At the Fitzgerald home, Brian and Julia find Anna making herself a bowl of cereal in the kitchen. Brian greets Anna, and they briefly talk about his night, including Anna asking if the arsonist struck again. Sara calls and briefly speaks to Anna. When Julia asks Anna if anyone has spoken to Kate about the petition for medical emancipation, Anna becomes upset and spills her cereal. After Brian has showered and changed, he takes Julia and Anna to the hospital to see Kate. Sara asks Julia not to tell Kate that Anna hasn’t dropped her petition. She then defends herself by saying she loves both Kate and Anna and wants what’s best for both of them.
