ABC’s Station 19 season 6, episode 15 included meaningful developments for storylines already underway while also setting up an exciting foundation for the season’s final episodes. Among the many problems the firehouse had to face in Station 19 season 6 was the poor leadership under Beckett, which thankfully changed once Theo started to get used to being an interim captain and Maya began getting better thanks to the therapy with Diane. However, Station 19 season 6, episode 15’s most significant moments still included outside threats to Station 19 and characters deeply connected to it, potentially hurting once again the beloved firehouse.
Between Dixon’s threats to unveil Chief Ross’ secret relationship with Sullivan and the usual fire-related dangers that risked Ben Warren’s skin at a time when he was already plenty worried, Station 19 season 6, episode 15 focused on some of the most important multi-episode stories of season 6. Moreover, it further developed many storylines, including Maya and Carina’s slowly improving reconnection and Theo’s struggles balancing the interim chief job and his relationship with Vic. In all, Station 19 season 6, episode 15 involved various significant moments, all having a big impact potentially on the firehouse.
Chief Ross Coming Clean To The Union Will Likely End Her & Sully’s Affair
Chief Ross refusing to cave in to Michael Dixon’s demands and going to the FD union herself to tell the truth about his blackmail folder proved a different option Dixon never considered Natasha to take in Station 19 season 6, episode 15, but it also stirred more chaos between Natasha and Sully. Since they started dating, Robert and Natasha fiercely protected their love and careers by dating in secret, but even that was taking its toll on them. However, their dating not being a secret anymore unveiled their different approaches to a crisis, revealing what they believed was worth sacrificing in the name of doing the best thing possible.
While Natasha revealing the truth to the union and fighting for her spot might have been something unexpected for Dixon, it also took Robert by surprise, given that he took it as Natasha covering her bases and hanging him out to dry. Between Sully’s perception that Natasha was already only thinking of optics when she promoted Theo over himself and Natasha’s admission that she confessed everything to the FD union that Sullivan clearly didn’t believe, it’s unlikely Sully and Natasha will survive as a couple. After all, coming off as a firefighter trading sexual favors for a promotion hurt Sully’s career, and he always cared about how others perceived him.
Disclosing the truth might help Natasha’s career in the long run if the union stands behind her instead of Dixon, but it almost surely will end her and Sullivan’s relationship in Station 19. There had already been many close calls between them, either because the secrecy couldn’t let them live their romance in peace or because they were frustrated with their careers suffering, and Chief Ross owning up to her actions only confirmed to Sully that she viewed her career as more important than his. Whether that’s really how Natasha feels about it, it’s unlikely Robert will give her again the benefit of the doubt in Station 19 season 6.
Kate’s Arrival At Station 19 Can Make Things Even Worse For Theo & Vic
Station 19 season 6, episode 15’s reveal that Ben Warren’s sub will be Kate Powell, close to both Travis and Theo, could have multiple implications for Theo and Vic’s relationship, especially given that their problems have been going on for some time. Ever since Theo started dealing with the fires in his old neighborhood, he stopped communicating openly with Vic. The added stress of becoming interim captain and his fear of messing it up, like when he was captain at his old house, only made every conversation between Theo and Vic charged. Even when Theo handled his position as a leader better, misunderstandings were always close between Theo and Vic.
Kate’s arrival at Station 19 might make it even more apparent to Vic how her and Theo’s relationship changed from effortless to challenging. After all, Travis and Theo’s history with her placed her as one of their favorite people based on how they reacted to her subbing at the firehouse, even if there weren’t a romantic past between her and Theo. Given how every recent conversation between Theo and Vic always ended up with more misunderstandings and less willingness to clear up the air, seeing Theo breezily communicating with someone else might make Vic realize that their relationship has come to an end, and they just refused to see it.
Carina & Maya’s Marriage Is On The Road To Recovery, No Matter How Slow
Station 19 season 6, episodes 14 and 15 showed Carina and Maya’s commitment to giving their marriage another fighting chance again, but they also highlighted how the journey to get there won’t follow a straight path. Theirs was a whirlwind romance when it began, and despite the big challenges they faced, like Andrew’s death and Carina’s visa problems, they always relied on each other. However, Station 19 season 6, episode 15 also highlighted that Carina could not simply go back to ignore the hurt Maya caused her, even if she didn’t mean to and was working harder to save their marriage and make good choices.
Even if their reconciliation won’t be without obstacles, Maya and Carina’s love for each other is evident in Station 19 season 6, episode 15. Maya apologizing for what she put Carina through might not magically delete all the pain she caused her, but it did show that she finally owned up to her mistakes, something she always struggled to do. This, along with the foundations they are clearly trying to build up from scratch so that their marriage can be solid again, point to a new relationship between Maya and Carina in Station 19, one that is different but nonetheless successful.
Warren’s Forced Timeout Can Finally Lead Him To Work On His Worries
The not-so-veiled threats to Bailey and the multiple anonymous callers in Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy scared Ben Warren from the beginning, even when Bailey didn’t believe how serious they could be. While Warren didn’t know how to convey his worry and actively help his wife with how she wanted to approach the problem, he tried and even found himself embroiled in Miranda and Carina’s stunt at the fake clinic. However, the attacks on Bailey only worsened, but his injury during the fire might actually give him time to work on his worries.
Warren already had to grapple with his fears and worries about things he couldn’t control, but it rarely involved Bailey. Having to deal with the fear of having his wife being the target of dangerous individuals whose only objective is to incite fear made everything feel futile, and it almost cost him his life in how Warren reacted to having to leave someone in the fire in Station 19 season 6, episode 15. Having to be removed from the action might finally give him a chance to work on his worries.
Theo Adapting As Station 19’s Captain Could Move Him Somewhere Else
Station 19 season 6, episode 16’s promo showed Beckett returning to Station 19, but this development might cause Theo to move elsewhere to continue being a captain. While Beckett’s impending return might point to his recovery, Theo always had a hard time following him as a leader. Adding to that Theo’s improvements as captain and Chief Ross’ numerous praises of how he handled difficult situations, which made him a much different captain from who he was when his decisions caused Mickey’s death, he’s unlikely to return to lieutenant comfortably. This might mean that Theo’s best future in Station 19 might be away from Station 19.
