911 Lone Star Rewatch: 1x04

I'm so behind. But I have not forgotten!

Alright let me try to make sense of my thoughts.

Tornado episode! So was this episode meant to serve as the mid-season finale? Were they trying to match it up with a OG 911 finale episode?

Gotta say, as someone who grew up in tornado alley I have literally never reacted to a tornado siren with that much urgency and panic unless I can see the tornado. Normally, you like look out the window first.... begrudgingly get up and go to the basement... turn on the weather channel to see updates.

You know what, Owen being in the towers on 9/11 is such a good backstory for Owen. And it does feel like that arc of him dealing with that trauma culminated in the season 3 finale and now we've moved on to his stuff with his dad and now his brother. But I really do appreciate all the 9/11 stuff with him.

This show deals with religion a fair amount--but its a lot of different religions. Like obviously, Judd Grace Tommy, etc. are Christian. But then there's also Marjan's deep connections to Islam. And TK's ties aren't to Judaism are not quite as strong, but certainly still there. It's just interesting that all three of the major Abrahamic religions are represented in storylines in this show. I feel like typically it's only one (and usually just Christianity).

Oh wow, Michelle! Haven't watched the show in five days and I already forgot that she is in the first season.

And Michelle's mother.... listen. No offense to this actress..... but.... I don't think she's good (lol). I just don't believe anything she says. Like the emotion is missing. And it does not help with my investment in the Iris storyline.

I deeply feel for Paul making food that has to adhere to several different food restrictions. Not to sound like a boomer, but millennials and gen z are so difficult to cook for!!

Seeing probie Matteo makes me want them to get another probie. It's just such a funny dynamic. Like I get that there's already so many people in the cast so it probably wouldn't work, but a girl can dream.

I love that almost every call starts with them like assuring the person "we're gonna get you out :)" and then they immediately turn to each other like, "how the hell are we getting them out of there..."

Man, I haven't been appreciating firefighter TK as much as I should be! Look at him in his turnout gear! Though, admittedly. He really shines so much more as a paramedic. Even in this first season and early season 2 his best moments are more paramedic adjacent.

And so concludes our state mandated break that we all spent standing and talking about work.

Ahh the first instance of the dysfunctional couple! Locked in the gun safe.

Something about Owen saying "I would have done the same thing" when the guy is freaking out about his kids still being in the collapsed house. Just makes me think about Owen finding TK unresponsive in his apartment and all the distress in his voice. Ughhhhhh. He really does love his boy so much. (Judd also refers to him as 'your boy' this episode)

Which of course he takes TK's helmet from him so he can go into the house instead of him because of how high the risk of secondary collapse is.

TK running to hug his dad!! While the kids are hugging their dad!! And that dad is hiding medical issues as well!!

Matteo and Owen's chat after that call is so great. No toxic masculinity nonsense here! Look at those future roomies bonding.

(The coloring seems wayyy less blue than I remember it being... did they fix it or am I just going crazy??)

TK already looks so upset when he's leaving Owen's office. Cuz he's already found the pill bottle and knows something is up.

They make Michelle's mother calling seem so dramatic when Michelle is on the phone and then she arrives and the mom is all 'oh yeah look at the shed'. She just... sounds so unenthused.

Grace having to tell Judd not to say Jackass at church is so funny.

Owen is just so gentle with TK and it makes me emotional.

Another episode done (albeit late) 10/10! Next up is the semi-controversial Studs. Which I have already watched, I just need to type up my thoughts.

it took me way too long to get to it but finally watching 911 lone star 4x07

(I enjoyed it more than any other this season tbh)

spoilers under the cut

ngl the last couple of episodes I was so bored, and then the og came out with one of the most exciting episodes, and I just couldn't be bothered to watch this one 😂😂 I genuinely thought about just dropping it ngl 😂 but this episode might've turned it around for me, it was great haha

so, here are my thoughts as I was watching:

oooh, we're getting a Paul storyline?? 👀 is that the girl from two episodes ago? 👀 Asha? right? I'm so excited - pls can we focus on Paul for many many episodes now please 😂 I've been begging for this since s1

honestly, I'm here for Owen helping with wedding planning, it's gonna be fun (once again, any comedic moments from Owen are gold, they should only keep him as comedic relief lmao)

Paul is blushing and flustered and he liiiikes her 🤗😂😂

a lady who dies if she's not upside down - that's a new one and it's lowkey hilarious - and the way they're transporting her my god 😂😂😂

damn Gina Torres is so gorgeous 😩🔥 I'm in love

I'm so happy for Tommy tbh, she deserves some happiness, and wtf is Melody's problem lol I guess that's gonna be the drama in this storyline huh

idk, it's okay I guess 😂 nothing overly exciting but it's gonna be fun seeing how they navigate that haha

also, I think I haven't mentioned it in a while but I love Grace's accent so much, I could listen to her talk for hours haha

is it unpopular opinion if I say that Tommy and Grace's friendship (or even Tommy, Grace and Judd) is possibly my fave friendship in this show? 😂 I just love them (okay, there's also Marjan and Paul, and their friendship is the best but like, we don't see them enough sns)

oooh, something's definitely brewing for Paul and Asha and I can't fucking wait

Paul is so flustered and adorable, this is amazing 😍😍 pls gimme more

"I'm giving you permission"

"you can do that? "

"Well, I just did" I fucking love Grace so fucking much ❤️😂😂😂

ending of that call was so wholesome, I hope Lance and Valerie are happy together haha

but oh my fucking god what is happening, you can't just show this smokeshow without a warning, fucking Gina Torres 🥵🥵🥵🥵

(jfc I think now I'm flustered 😂😂)

I'm sorry, how I'm supposed to focus on the plot here while she looks like that 🔥🥵

this whole thing with Paul and Asha seems like a beginning to a very interesting storyline and I'm so excited, and I hope it's not gonna fizzle out like next episode or smth

oh, Tommy, that was petty and I loved it 😂

but Melody is good oh my god😂 okay, I'm getting excited about this storyline, it's fun (Melody is a little annoying ngl but I'm loving this side of Tommy)

Paul is making me tear up, and I'm loving his storyline, I hope we explore it more later on (and I still hope he and Asha can work through it and will get together, he seemed so excited and happy before she pulled out the yearbook, and he deserves some happiness)

I know Grace is right about this whole situation with Melody but damn if it's not enterianing to see Tommy feud with a kid 😂

but their moment after Melody got her period was sweet, I liked that

okay, I love Owen being there for the team - Marjan in 4x05 and now for Paul, it's just so nice to see him actually have good relationships with them, and interact with them aside from emergencies (bc a lot of the time his storylines involve him alone and it's annoying lol)

this was a sweet episode and the ending was wholesome, and it might've been the first episode this season when I wasn't bored for even a second haha

it was fun, and I'm starting to like the storylines, it's getting interesting again, they're pulling me back in 😂😂

and next episode looks good too and Marjan is gonna be back!!! and for the first time this season I can genuinely say I'm excited and can't wait for the next episode 😂😂

Brotherly Comfort

Written for @911lonestarangstweek I used one of the alternate prompts for this because I thought it fit better with the direction of the story.

aided by @moviegeek03 who sent me the prompt list and encouraged the muse after the promo was released. your encouragement for all my writing means the world. 💙

@justkillingtimewhileiwait who always listens to my writing rambles and who was & is the angst queen to my fluff. Thanks boo for helping work out the opening to this.

Spoilers for S2 E8 finale; not really speculation because I don’t think the show would go this direction, but it is set in S2 E9 timeline. I just wanted some more TK comforting Judd because we know that’s going to happen once TK learns what happens.

Read on A03; my 911 LS masterlist.

Judd can feel the discharge nurse judging him with her eyes, even though his head is bent over the forms as he hurriedly scrawls his name at the bottom. It took too damn long, over twenty-four hours, to argue with the doctors about setting him free from the jail that was the damn hospital bed. All he wants, no, all he needs, is to get to Grace. He knows what the doctors said about her condition but he needs to see her for himself.

He grabs the clothes Owen had dropped off for him, and even though it's painful, he changes and heads up a few floors to the ICU ward. His mind is still struggling to wrap around the fact that his precious Gracie is in the ICU on a ventilator. He thought he'd gotten her above water soon enough. He'd done all he could to make sure he got her out of the truck.

He takes a shuddering breath, trying to shake those thoughts off as he gets off the elevator. He's slow moving with his own injuries, but he finds the nurses station, and they let him back into her room. His breath catches when he sees her. Tears sting his eyes as he slowly sinks into a chair. He knows she hasn't been alone all this time, even though she is at the moment. Tommy would never stand for that.

Judd scrubs a hand down his face to wipe the tears as he's still processing all the doctor had disclosed about both of their injuries. He couldn't take his eyes off his beautiful wife no matter how lost in his head he is with thoughts of the accident and Grace's injuries. She was just sleeping, that's all, he kept telling himself despite knowing different, despite knowing she was in a medically induced coma. He hated the sounds of the machines, but he knew they were necessary. "You gotta wake up Gracie," he whispered, squeezing her hand. "I need you." He knew his PTSD was kicking his tail at the moment, the accident flashing in vivid color any time he closed his eyes, but he didn't feel strong enough to deal with it without her.

He zoned out for longer than he thought, maybe even falling asleep. He startled when he felt a hand land on his shoulder. "Sorry. We didn't mean to scare you," Tommy says quietly as Charles takes up a seat off to the side.

"I's fine." He checks his watch to see he's been in Grace's room almost twelve hours now.

"Any change?"

Judd shook his head at Tommy, knowing she could scan the monitors herself and figure it out.

Tommy let's out a soft sigh as she shares a look with Charles. She knew Judd had signed himself out that morning, and from the looks of it, he had not moved from that chair all day. She knows what she says next will be met with a lot of fight and resistance, but it has to be done because she knows he has to be hurting. Charles gives her a subtle nod letting her know he's got her back, as always. "Judd?"

He finally meets her eyes.

"You need to go home and rest. You're healing too, and you're no good to Grace if you're not taking care of yourself."

"No. Nope. No way. I'm not leaving her. I won't." His reply is instant and full of conviction.

"She's right brother. You need to sleep," Charles finally speaks up. "Tommy and I are gonna stay. She's not gonna be alone. The girls are taken care of, and we need to take care of you. Go get some rest. You know we'll call."

Judd cuts his eyes between them seeing an impassable wall. He turns back to Grace as he shakes his head and squeezes her hand. "Judd. I'm serious," Tommy says, breaking out her mom voice. "When Grace wakes up, you're going to be dead on your feet if you don't go. Let us help."

Judd finally hangs his head in resignation knowing she is right. "Ok... ok just for a little bit." He stands up and leans over kissing Grace's forehead. "I'll be back darling," he whispers.

Tommy pulls him into a tight hug, as does Charles, before Judd glances back at the bed once more before he heads out. He makes it to the elevators before the tears fall. Walking out of that room is one of the hardest things he's ever done. He wipes at his eyes as he steps into the elevator. He can't go. It doesn't feel right to go home when Grace is laying in a hospital bed with a tube breathing for her.

He pushes the button for another floor as he scrubs his face. He tries to ignore his racing heart and headache as he gets off on the correct floor. He knows Tommy is right and he needs to rest, but he can't. It's too much, and his rock, his steadfast, always there wife is not there right now, and he feels himself breaking. He walks down the hall, lost in the thoughts of his racing mind. He finds the room easily enough, and he hates that he's just now making it up there or that he even has another room to visit. The room is dim, and Reyes is passed out in the sleeper chair. He knows how uncomfortable that is, so he knows Carlos has to be plum exhausted to be that asleep.

He knocks softly on the door frame, and green eyes shoot straight up to him. "Judd! What are you doing?!" TK asks bewildered, before he remembers Carlos sleeping and winces hoping his boyfriend stays asleep.

Judd shakes his head, walking into the room and taking the chair on the opposite side of the bed. Carlos thankfully had stayed asleep. "Came…" his voice is shaky so he clears his throat and shakes his head. TK is looking at him with so much concern it's almost overwhelming. "Came to check on you. Sorry it's taking me a minute to get up here." TK's been there two full nights and days already, this being the third since time got away from him earlier, and he's just now checking in on him.

"Judd what the hell? No, don't apologize to me. Christ you should still be in your own room!"

"Signed myself out," he says with a shrug.

"I know! I heard this morning after you did it. What are you doing up here? Is Grace ok?" TK hates seeing Judd so down, and he's a little surprised to see him, figuring Judd would be holed up in Grace's room. He just wants to make him feel better any way he can.

Judd just shakes his head and scrubs at his eyes some more. TK swings his legs out of the bed, being careful of all his wires. He squeezes Judd's knee wishing he could make this better. "Please tell me what happened so I can help you feel better."

"Tommy…" he takes a shuddering breath and shakes his head wiping his eyes before looking up at TK. He hates worrying him, when TK is hurt, so he releases a deep breath. "Tommy and Charles wanted me to go home and rest. But I just…. I can't. It doesn't feel right to go home without her."

"Makes sense. But you still need to be taking care of you."

Judd nods, but doesn't say anything. TK can sense his need for a distraction. "Alright how about this, since you should be in a bed. You take the bed and I'm gonna sit up for a bit." Judd starts to protest, but TK silences him. "Seriously. I can sit up for a bit, and you should lay down."

"TK. I'm fine."

"Judd! You have 3 broken ribs and a broken arm. You have 15 stitches that I can clearly see," he says pointing at the bandage on Judd's head. "And who knows what other injuries I don’t know about. Lay down for a bit. I'm fine. I should be discharged tomorrow. The headache is lessening and so is the dizziness, hence being able to sit up."

"Fine. But I'm not staying here long."

"Of course not," TK says with a pleased grin as he switches places with Judd. Carlos stays asleep, much to TK's pleasure because he knows his boyfriend needs all the sleep possible after the last couple days of barely any sleep. Once Judd is comfortable, TK starts talking. He talks about anything that comes to his mind. He tells Judd about the kidnapping, the rescue, Carlos's parents wanting to meet him for real. The longer TK talks, the sleepier Judd gets, and it doesn't take much of TK's rambles before he's asleep. TK sends Tommy a picture of Judd asleep in the bed so she’ll know he’s resting.

Carlos wakes not long after Judd falls asleep, and his face is adorably confused, making TK chuckles softly.

"Hey babe," he says quietly, as Carlos reorients himself.

"What did I miss?"

"Tommy tried to make Judd go home. But he couldn't. So he came up here, and I got him to rest." TK is rather proud of himself, and it makes Carlos chuckle softly.

"You're a good little brother even if you're a brat sometimes," he teases.

TK sticks his tongue out in return, but he feels light and relieved to finally have laid eyes on Judd. He knows Judd's not ok yet, but he will be because he has a family that loves him and supports him, no matter what.
