As “Station 19” moves into Season 5 Episode 12, titled “In My Tree,” the preview trailer teases intriguing developments and high-stakes drama. This episode promises to shake up the dynamics at Station 19 with some unexpected alliances and intense situations.
Maya and Sullivan Team Up:
In the upcoming episode, Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre) and Robert Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe) find themselves working together in a surprising turn of events. Maya approaches Sullivan with a proposal, leveraging his connection with the new fire chief, Natasha (Merle Dandridge).
Maya’s pitch to Sullivan includes:
- Maya’s Ambition: She wants to reclaim her position as captain of Station 19, a goal that has been on hold since the events of the Season 4 finale.
- Mutual Benefit: Maya offers to help Sullivan by ensuring that his secret stays hidden and pushing out Captain Beckett (Josh Randall), who has been involved in questionable activities.
The surprising element here is Sullivan’s past involvement in Maya’s demotion, as he had previously supported the former fire chief’s decision. However, given Captain Beckett’s recent issues—including his relationship with Sullivan’s wife, Andy Herrera (Jaina Lee Ortiz), and his apparent struggle with alcoholism—Sullivan’s motivations may have shifted.
Andy Herrera’s Leadership:
Andy Herrera continues to showcase her leadership skills as acting captain of Station 23. In the trailer for Episode 12, she faces a critical rescue operation:
- High-Stakes Rescue: Andy assesses a young woman trapped in a tree, suspecting a parachute malfunction. Her quick thinking highlights the risk of moving the branches and potentially causing the woman to bleed out.
- Direct Action: Andy’s determination to save the woman leads her to climb the tree and take direct action to prevent further harm.
Andy’s role as acting captain reflects her ongoing commitment and capability, especially following Captain Pete Aquino’s (Alain Uy) absence due to recovery from injuries sustained in the explosion that killed Dean Miller (Okieriete Onaodowan).
Ben Warren’s Visitor:
The promo does not reveal much about Ben Warren’s (Jason George) guest visitor, who appears with paperwork and a clipboard. The press photos hint at a serious discussion with a woman played by Nitya Vidyasagar. While details are sparse, this visitor might be a lawyer or case manager connected to Dean Miller’s daughter, Pruitt Arike Miller.
Additional Notes:
- Dean Miller Memorial Clinic: The episode will also feature the opening of the Dean Miller Memorial Clinic, with guest stars Lanny Joon and David Yound Lee playing significant roles.
