Station 19 season 7 being the series’ last makes it imperative for some storylines to finally reach a satisfying conclusion. With audiences through the years becoming attached to many if not all Station 19 firefighters, the responsibility to give them a fulfilling ending weighs on the drama’s final season. Considering how some storylines were furthered intermittently over Station 19’s six seasons, others were introduced as early as season 1, and many more were set up by Station 19 season 6’s ending, Station 19 season 7 has plenty of stories whose ends it needs to deal with in its ten episodes.
Station 19 season 7’s trailer showed the newest threats hanging over the station’s firefighters, but it also offered a taste of the firehouse under Andy’s lead after Station 19 season 6’s ending revealed her to be the new captain. With Andy coveting that role since Station 19 season 1 revealed her father Pruitt’s illness and impending retirement, Station 19 season 7 will undoubtedly have to focus on Andy’s work as captain, both as her achievement and because of the struggles she will face. However, the whole Station 19 team deserves a proper send-off, making the tackling of some storylines crucial.
Theo’s Apologies For The Rollercoaster He Put Station 19 Through In Season 6
Between the micromanaging & his attitude due to the captain appointment, he needs to say sorry
Theo’s stubbornness in opposing Sean Beckett’s captaincy probably saved Station 19’s firefighters, as Beckett’s unfitness to work had already caused his firefighter friend’s life during a drill. However, once Theo became Station 19’s interim captain, he ended up micromanaging the team and being generally unpleasant, afraid he could have repeated the mistakes that led to his closest friend and Travis’s husband dying on his watch. If he wants to find his place back as part of the team, Theo must apologize for what he put Station 19’s firefighters through, or he will never be easily accepted back into the fold.
Emmett’s Return After Chief Dixon Died An Unexpected Death In Station 19 Season 6
Seeing him can benefit Travis for his involvement in trying to save Dixon & how they left things
Travis and Emmett’s romance had reached its natural but painful end in Station 19 season 5, but Chief Dixon’s season 6 death makes Emmett’s return more probable. Between Dixon’s last wishes for his son to return from Europe which he voiced to Travis just before he died and the fact Travis was the one trying to save him, Emmett will surely have much to share with Travis. However, Emmett’s return can be doubly beneficial, and not just because he had always been a fan-favorite among Station 19’s characters.
Micheal Dixon’s death shook Travis to the core in Station 19 season 6’s ending. Even if they were enemies in the run to become Mayor of Seattle and they already had disagreements when Travis dated Emmett, they still had a history, and having him die before him without being able to do anything to save him broke Travis. Emmett’s return can help Travis forgive himself for how Dixon’s death played out, and while they’re unlikely to rekindle any romance due to Travis and Eli’s relationship, they can still patch things up with their friendship after their failed romance destroyed it.
Chief Ross & Sully Being Honest About Their Relationship
Keeping it secret caused them so much harm in seasons 5 & 6
Sully and Natasha’s relationship was fraught with difficulties when they explored its possibility in Station 19 season 5 and when they dated in secret in season 6. However, the Station 19 season 6 finale putting Chief Ross’s life in danger finally put things in perspective, with the two going from almost broken up to happily rejoicing in their survival together, not hiding their relationship anymore. While it will undoubtedly make both their careers challenging because of their roles’ power imbalance, Sully and Natasha openly dating effectively deletes many of their relationship’s problems, giving them a chance at happiness at last.
Bailey’s Sense Of Belonging Within Station 19 Despite The Danger
Bailey’s fear for Ben was there since season 1, but the final season can also show her gains
Station 19’s earliest seasons heavily featured Bailey’s fear for Warren’s life in his new job as a firefighter, but Station 19’s last season can finally highlight how his job also brought her a new family. While Ben started to see his coworkers as family early on, Bailey still hasn’t acknowledged what the firehouse gave her, despite her fear only getting more manageable through Station 19’s seasons, also because she knew the team would have always protected Ben. Between Pru and a sense of unity, Station 19 season 7 can finally make Bailey realize how much Ben’s job gave her, too.
Vic Finally Fulfilled By Her Career Within Firefighting (Mentoring & Counselling)
Vic had her fair share of pain & deserves some long-lasting joy away from relationships
Station 19’s six seasons gave Vic plenty of heartache, especially with her interpersonal relationships, considering how Lucas and Dean died and her relationship with Theo deteriorated so much it could not be saved anymore. However, Vic’s excellent handling of Crisis One and involvement with mentoring young, potential firefighters showed her she could get more from firefighting than just doing a job. Vic finishing her psychology course in Station 19 season 7 can have her officially lead and improve Crisis One, letting her happiness derive from having found her purpose because of its importance and how good she is at it.
The Station 19 Team Happy With Each Other & Their Jobs
Office politics upended their jobs through the series, they deserve to focus only on those
A stabler firehouse in Station 19 season 7 could also bring back the story to focus on firefighting like Station 19 season 1 did. While danger was always near because of their jobs’ nature, Station 19 becoming more involved with office and local politics introduced other kinds of danger. Andy as captain of the firehouse she always considered a second home, which her father captained, can finally give them stability the team never had with the various lieutenants moving up to captain. This could give Station 19 a fitting ending because they would just focus on firefighting as before.
Jack Happy & At Peace With His Biological, Adoptive & Station 19 Families
Jack deserves happiness with all his families after everything that he went through
Jack’s past in the foster system regularly returned as a storyline, especially as it influenced his problems or outlooks. However, considering how Station 19 season 6 reunited him with Lila, whom he always saw as a sister despite getting separated, via his biological sister Brooke, Station 19 season 7 can finally make Jack come to terms with all his families, letting him connect with them on his terms. Station 19 firmly established how the team was his first family in Jack’s eyes, whom he always looked out for, but season 7 can give him even more with Lila and Brooke.
Maya & Carina’s Path To Motherhood After Their Relationship Healed
Having children was so contentious that their agreeing warrants season 7 showing their progress
Station 19 season 5 already put Maya and Carina on the path to motherhood, after multiple discussions about Maya’s fears of losing her career by becoming a parent. However, the possibility of parenthood disappeared in Station 19 season 6 with Maya’s mental health crisis, which almost ended her and Carina’s marriage. With season 6’s last episodes proving how better had Maya gotten by not putting her career above her well-being, Station 19 season 7 can finally show Maya and Carina proceeding on their path to motherhood, which would be the perfect ending for both their stories after season 6’s upheaval.
Andy Finally Happily & Ready To Be In Charge Of Station 19
Her development as a leader was at the center of the show
Andy wanted to become captain of Station 19 ever since her father announced he was stepping down, but Station 19 seasons 1 and 2 proved how she still wasn’t ready. However, becoming one in Station 19 season 6’s ending is an entirely different story, especially after her stint as interim captain of Station 23. Andy’s progress as a leader was at the center of Station 19, even when she made managerial mistakes due to her private life influencing her job.
Station 19 season 6 showed how better Andy became at navigating office politics and being the leader the team needed during calls. Even when she put her hat in the ring to become permanent captain, Andy didn’t desire the position to her team’s detriment. Thinking of her team’s well-being and unity first, or even campaigning for Chief Ross, showed how she had gotten the bigger picture, and Station 19 season 7 can finally have Andy as captain of the firehouse that was always her home and show her as thriving in that position, giving Station 19 its perfect ending.
