The Station 19 Season 5 finale left viewers with a lot to process, and with the Season 6 premiere on the horizon, here’s a quick recap of the key events that set the stage for the new season.
Andy Herrera’s Legal Battle
The finale began with Andy Herrera (Jaina Lee Ortiz) finding a woman named Holly, who was willing to testify about her own experience with Jeremy. Despite the district attorney’s confidence in his case against Andy, he was convinced to drop the charges after Holly revealed how Jeremy had assaulted her years earlier. Holly’s testimony helped clear Andy’s name, making it a pivotal moment in her struggle for justice.
Robert Sullivan and Natasha Ross
In the finale, Robert Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe) and Fire Chief Natasha Ross (Merle Dandridge) continue to explore their romantic connection. Natasha shared with Sullivan that she once asked him to wait for her after their time serving overseas, but he married Grace instead. Despite the history, the two rekindle their romance, hinting at a future together.
Carina DeLuca and Maya Bishop’s Immigration Struggles
Carina (Stefania Spampinato) and Maya (Danielle Savre) faced a tense moment with the immigration office in the finale. During the interview, Maya became emotional, expressing her frustration over her demotion from Captain, attributing it to sexism and homophobia. Despite Maya’s outburst, Carina was granted her green card, a major win for the couple.
Radioactive Spill and Changes for Travis and Jack
A radioactive material spill in front of a school bus full of children led to a dramatic rescue in the finale. Captain Beckett (Josh Randall) showed signs of stress while dealing with the aftermath. After the incident, Travis Montgomery (Jay Hayden) announced his intention to run for mayor, seeking to bring change to the city. Chief Ross supported his decision, though she couldn’t publicly endorse his political ambitions.
Meanwhile, Jack Gibson (Grey Damon) struggled with his emotions, particularly after seeing a child reunite with their parents following the dangerous situation. It was clear Jack was grappling with unresolved feelings, but his future remained uncertain.
The Final Celebration and Maya’s Ultimatum
The finale ended on a bittersweet note as Station 19 gathered to celebrate Andy’s exoneration and Ben Warren’s (Jason George) decision to avoid exposure to radioactive material. The team toasted to Dean Miller’s memory, but drama quickly escalated when Maya made a shocking demand. She told Chief Ross and Sullivan that she wanted her captain’s job back, threatening to expose their relationship if her request was not granted. The tension increased as Andy apologized to Ross, who then offered her a lieutenant position at the station.
In the final moments, viewers saw Jack leaving Station 19 after submitting his resignation. As Andy ran after him, calling his name, Jack drove off into the night, leaving fans wondering where he had gone and if he would return for Season 6.
Key Takeaways for Season 6:
- Andy Herrera’s future is secured with the dropped charges, but she faces new challenges ahead.
