During his testimony, Ben points to the country's opioid crisis as the main reason behind Sullivan's addiction and its consequences, which leads to the commission shutting down the PRT, deeming it too big a liability. Having been cleared of all charges and re-hired at Seattle PD, Michael Dixon's testimony blames Sullivan for manipulating the firefighters, including his son. After station 19's crew interrupts the meeting to voice their support for Sullivan, the commission allows him to stay on at Station 19 as a regular firefighter.

The team tries to defuse a tense situation between a high and drunk Christian couple who refuse to follow COVID-19 protocols and are resistant to accept help. To matters even more difficult, the heavily-pregnant wife injures Travis and goes into labor at the scene. The experience causes Travis to make a painful reflection on catholic views regarding homosexuality, which leads him to confront his father about his hiding his own sexual orientation. Dean feuds with Robert over the fact that his actions have complicated the careers of all fellow Black firefighters. Ben pleads with Dean to take into account Sullivan's burden while Vic's support of his point of view causes Dean to rekindle their friendship.

Andy is allowed to step up as acting Captain in her absence, causing friction with Sullivan. The crew responds to a call about a cult leader about to jump off a building to prove he has reached ultimate freedom. Upon trying to talk him off the edge, Jack is confronted with his fears and opens up his heart to love. Back home, he makes the leap and kisses Inara, much to Marcus and Marsha's delight. Having been confronted with a police officer that was involved in the incident leading up to his arrest, Dean lets go of his plan to promote to Lieutenant to enforce change from the inside. Vic allows herself to grow closer to Theo Ruiz, who comforts her after the incident with the police.

518"Make No Mistake, He's Mine"Allison Liddi-BrownShalisha Francis-FeusnerMarch 25, 2021 (2021-03-25)4085.26[9]
Vic and Ruiz continue to see each other privately, so when Ruiz finds out that he's picking up a sub shift at 19, Vic wants to pretend they aren't together. Marsha is slated to come home from Grey Sloan finally, so Jack and Inara and Marcus make plans to be there to pick her up. Carina's Italian friend (and long-ago ex) Gabriella shows up, unnerving Maya. Ruiz shows up for his sub shift at 19, causing Travis to storm off, with Vic in pursuit. Travis reveals that Ruiz is the captain who got his husband killed. Three guys rush into the station, one of them lucid but with an arrow through his head. In the course of treating him, Herrera is frustrated by Sullivan's constant second-guessing. En route to Grey Sloan, the aid car drops Travis with a car on the side of the road with an unresponsive driver, likely an overdose. Travis calls for backup and Ruiz runs from the station, and upon arrival is standing next to the car when the drive wakes up and lets his foot off the brake, running over Ruiz's foot. Emmett calls Jack to tell him not to come pick up Marsha, who has decompensated and likely needs a ventilator. Dean's lawyer friend (and ex), Condola Vargas, Esq, has agreed to take on Dean's case against the police department for the dehumanizing experiences surrounding the kidnapped girls case. She asks him what justice looks like to him, and it takes him awhile to figure it out. Gathering the other Black firefighters around him, he tells Condola that he doesn't just want justice or punishment; he wants to prevent them from doing anything like that to anyone ever again. Over at Grey Sloan, Jack takes Marcus up on a station ladder to see Marsha from outside of her hospital room. Vic goes to tell Ruiz that she is firmly behind Travis and will have to cut off her feelings for him; he explains that the day when Travis's husband died didn't just destroy Travis, but him, too. Vic hugs him right as Travis walks into the room, agape.
529"No One Is Alone"Stacey K. BlackRochelle ZimmermanApril 1, 2021 (2021-04-01)4094.78[10]
Picking up where the last episode ended, Travis explodes on Vic for comforting Ruiz. Flashbacks to 2009 show Ruiz, Travis, and his husband all working together during fire academy. Vic and Travis are put on the aid car together, and respond to a drug overdose for the same person who OD'd in the car in the previous episode. A 2010 flashback shows Travis and Michael as firefighters, falling in love. It's revealed that Ruiz was Michael's roommate and best friend, and he knows all about them being gay and in love. After dropping off the overdose victim at Grey Sloan, the aid car is called back to the same address, where the man's best friend Libbie has also OD'd. At the station, Ruiz is helping Jack in his relationship with Marcus. In 2011, Michael and Travis adorably have both bought rings to propose, and double propose to each other while at the dinner table with Ruiz. Vic and Travis have a massive blow-out on the side of the road. It's 2012 and Ruiz brings champagne to the house now occupied by Travis and Michael to celebrate his being up for captain. We jump to 2016, and Travis is worried about Ruiz being Michael's captain, and literally posits the very situation of a bad call leading to Michael's death. But Michael says sometimes bad calls happen and they work in a dangerous field. Libbie overdoses and dies in the park. One more trip back to 2016 and Travis is a wreck in his house; Ruiz comes over and explains that he miscalculated the situation and told Michael to shelter in place when he shouldn't have, leading to Michael's death. Travis throws him out. In the present, Jack and Ruiz bond over having been department pariahs.
5310"Save Yourself"David GreenspanEmily CulverApril 8, 2021 (2021-04-08)4104.87[11]

The team gets several surprises while they are dealing with people coming in for COVID testing at the firehouse. Travis's parents arrive for testing after his father has an exposure from "golfing." Jack tries to console young Marcus, who is despondent after the family finds out that Marsha's absent son has decided to take her off of the ventilator. Carina is a control freak while running the clinic, but later reveals to Maya she may be forced to go back to Italy due to presidential changes to immigration policy. The team responds to a call where a newlywed couple (who had just left the COVID test site) is trapped inside their car, which is trapped inside of the back of a box truck. The couple got married quickly after meeting during the pandemic, and the wife's selfishness comes out strong during the extrication when she begs for the team to get her out first because she has more to live for than her new husband. (This story continues into the crossover.) Travis grapples with his father's revelations and Carina is excited when Maya volunteers to go to Italy with her.


This episode begins a crossover event that concludes on Grey's Anatomy season 17 episode 11.
5411"Here It Comes Again"Karen GaviolaEmmylou Diaz & Tyrone FinchApril 15, 2021 (2021-04-15)4115.10[12]
A pregnant couple who had needed help with car seat installation in a previous episode shows up in labor, which leads to Ben and Carina having to deliver the baby in the station. The husband had an undiagnosed heart issue and collapses during the labor, with Andy and Dean rushing him to a hospital with no empty beds because of COVID. They continue to run compressions on him while pleading for a room. Emmett warns Vic and Travis that his father, now Deputy Chief with Seattle PD, is paying the station a visit. His visit is to warn Maya that she should dissuade Dean from pursuing his lawsuit against Seattle PD. Maya tells Carina that she doesn't think she can go to Italy because of the lawsuit and her worry that her leaving will make superiors think that this is why you don't promote women. As the episode closes, the team begins to see the footage of the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis PD.
5512"Get Up, Stand Up"Daryn OkadaKrista VernoffApril 22, 2021 (2021-04-22)4124.47[13]
In light of the trauma caused by the murder of George Floyd, Maya invites back Dr. Diane Lewis to give her crew a chance to talk. Ben opens up about the struggles he experiences as a Black man in America, including raising two black boys. Diane makes Maya realize that even though it may have taken her a long time, she is doing right now by listening and learning, causing Maya to vow to actively call out injustices. In light of hate crimes against Asian-Americans spiking, Diane assures Travis that while the racism he and his mother have experienced may seem minor in comparison to recent events, any type of discrimination is unacceptable. Andy faces the fact that, having grown up around cops and relatively spared from racism due to her lighter skin tone, she has failed to recognize police brutality as a systemic problem. Vic and Diane connect through their similar views as Black women about the way George's death has been treated by the media and white friends. Diane guides Jack on how to navigate the issue at hand whilst aware of his privilege. Dean finds a safe haven in Diane's presence to let out his feelings and exhaustion. After avoiding Diane all day, Robert finally reveals the intense fear for his life that Floyd's murder has triggered for him. Meanwhile, a hypocritical Michael Dixon takes a knee during a television interview to show his alleged support for the Black Lives Matter movement. The next morning, the entire Station 19 crew and some of their loved ones join a Black Lives Matter protest, possibly igniting more issues with the brass of Seattle FD.
5613"I Guess I'm Floating"Paris BarclayDaniel K. HohMay 6, 2021 (2021-05-06)4134.52[14]
The station's Black firefighters are on a dinner cruise meant to celebrate Black firefighters in Seattle and the progress made over the years. Battalion Chief Gregory gives a fairly pointed speech in the general direction of Dean and his lawsuit, mentioning the need for a unified front and cooperation. Dean later confronts him and says he appreciates everything Gregory did to brack barriers, Dean can't take those victories as his own, and the challenges are different now. The chief has a coronary episode and falls overboard. Dean immediately jumps in to help, and Ben sees this and tries to alert the crew before grabbing a life vest and life ring and jumping after them. In flashbacks, we see Ben and Miranda trying to spend some quality time together when she feels what she thinks is a growth. They go to see a urologist across town, who thinks it's likely cancer and recommends removing a testicle immediately. Flashback Dean is shocked by the arrival of JJ's parents at his doorstep; they've come from Hong Kong to see their grandchild, having only learned of Prue when JJ breezed through Hong Kong recently. Back in the water, Dean and Ben try to do compressions and other life-saving measures on the chief, but they are unable to save him. The boat disappears out of sight, unaware of the three men overboard. Suddenly Dean and Ben have to work on their own survival, while discussing many things like the George Floyd murder, Ben's testicular cancer and his not having scheduled the procedure, and Dean's strange dinner with his parents and JJ's parents (who are revealed to own a large portion of Seattle land). Eventually they're forced to abandon the chief's body and they try to share Ben's life jacket, but Dean says he thinks he needs to let go. Fade to black. Both Dean and Ben come to consciousness on the beach, having been found by a rescue boat. Miranda arrives, followed by Vic. Vic tells Dean she didn't know what to do so she went to the house boat to be with Prue all night. Dean tries to say "I love you" to her but can't get it out, and she says "I love you, too."
5714"Comfortably Numb"Peter PaigeKiley DonovanMay 20, 2021 (2021-05-20)4144.92[15]
Ben confronts his fears as he goes in for his surgery, where he has some heavy hallucinations. Maya and Carina discuss their problems with their relationship as Carina prepares to leave for Italy; topics include Carina not wanting to get married but still wanting to have a baby, plus Carina's feeling that Maya has not bothered to pay attention to the visa situation. Jack and Inara are finally alone for a while, but as things get heated up they are interrupted by the sight of their upstairs neighbor falling past their window. They spend most of the day trying to save her from both the literal and figurative dumpsters she is in. Carina's friend Gabriella calls from Italy and tells Carina she's silly for not accepting Maya's proposal, which leads Carina to finding Maya at the hospital where she proposes, instead.
5815"Say Her Name"Oliver BokelbergZaiver Sinnett & Rochelle ZimmermanMay 27, 2021 (2021-05-27)4154.59[16]
Vic finds herself in need of a day off from everything related to Black Lives Matter while the rest of the crew prepares to set up a medical post at the protest to aid civilians hurt in confrontations with Seattle PD. The crew is called out to a fire started by rioters at Vic's parents' restaurant. The team manage to save the building. Vic, Travis and Theo stay behind to help clean up. Vic confronts her parents with the fact that their strategy of not talking about emotions does not appear to be working. Her mother reveals they kept track of her life in a room dedicated to commemorate all of her accomplishments. Later, the Hughes family tell a reporter that the loss of their property pales in comparison to the loss of numerous Black lives. Travis begins to forgive Theo as they work. When the City forbids the crew's plans for the medical post, they decide to proceed as planned as civilians. Dean convinces Maya to have a real wedding to bring the crew some joy.
5916"Forever and Ever, Amen"Paris BarclayKiley DonovanJune 3, 2021 (2021-06-03)4164.90[17]
Carina has returned to Seattle after a month in Italy. Two days before her wedding to Maya, the crew responds to a house fire. At the scene, Maya openly defies a direct order from Fire Chief McCallister in order to save a boy's life. The Fire Chief confides in Sullivan that the incident would allow him to close down Station 19 after all the troubles it has caused with Seattle PD under Maya's captainship. Sullivan advocates for a promotion for himself to get everyone back in line. Unbeknownst the rest of the crew, this causes a rift with Andy, who deems him opportunistic. At the wedding, hosted at a renovated Kaminski's, Travis reunites with Emmett while Victoria gives in to her romantic feelings for Theo after approval from Travis. Dean catches them kissing just as he decided to tell Vic about his feelings after encouragement from Ben and Bailey. Inara breaks up with Jack as she realizes he is not in love with her; she thanks him for saving her and moves to her sister in California. Maya's mother once again breaks free from her abusive husband to attend the wedding. As the newlyweds dance, the rest of the guests receive word that Maya has been relieved of her duties.
