‘Station 19′ recap: Watch Vic Hughes’ firehouse farewell with ‘real tears’

We’re not crying, that’s just, um, smoke in our eyes, that’s all. Yeah, OK, fine. Maybe we are crying after watching Thursday’s supremely satisfying Station 19 series finale. Chances are, you are, too.

Station 19 Could Get a New Lease on Life by Crossing Over 10 Characters to Grey’s
VIEW LIST

Over the course of the action-packed “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” it looked at turns like we might lose Maya, like Vic might be burned to a crisp, like Andy might have gone up in flames. But in the end, the only casualty of the episode turned out to be Chaos Kate, who fell victim to a flaming tornado. (Did anybody really like her, anyway?)

In other developments, Carina finally got to tell Maya that they are expecting, Theo pulled through just fine, thanks, and Ben shared with Andy that he was going back to finish his surgical residency. (So it appeared that at least one of our crossover characters was going to make it to Grey’s Anatomy.) As for Vic and Travis… alas, he told her that his life was in Seattle. He couldn’t move to Washington, DC, with her.

Only — surprise! — when Vic got to the airport, Travis was already there. “As it turns out,” he told her, “my life is wherever you are.” (Are those two not the series’ truest love story?)

Finally, in a flash-forward, we learned that Andy eventually was promoted to chief and Maya, to captain. What’s more, by then among Station 19’s crop of firefighters was none other than a twentysomething Pru.

Throughout the finale, we also got glimpses of what each character hoped might be in their future. Here to discuss the lot of it with TVLine are showrunners Peter Paige and Zoanne Clack.
