We open on a hospital bed as Captain Race Banner slowly regains consciousness.
Yes, hes assured, all the orphans at the bowling alley were saved.
But lets not get ahead of ourselves.
Wannabes starts with a differentHotshotsscene, in which Brads Captain Banner helps a woman trapped in a burning car.
You dont need to burn, too, she tells him.
He assures her, Hotshots dont get burned; we just get a little toasted.
The first call of the episode doesnt require firefighters, though.
Theres a riot at Fields Market, inadvertently instigated by you guessed it a YouTuber.
Athena arrives, manages to defuse the situation,andfinally gets the woman to return her cart.
When the 118 arrives, only Brad is excited (Thar she blows!
), but the rest of the team pushes through the stench and gets to work.
I know it smells crazy in there does not begin to cover it.
He is an actor with zero training!
Back at the firehouse, its time for showers and decontamination.
(Buck describes the smell as like sour milk and old fish guts had a baby.
The captain once again drags Brad to hell, letting him know how reckless and dangerous his behavior was.
I just resent the way Brad is suddenly being treated like a main character.
Brad urges Eddie to not let that distance from Christopher grow any larger.
The episodes next 9-1-1 call brings us back to Fields Market: I think Cart Cops dead!
He isnt, but hes badly beaten and pretty close to death when hes found.
Chimney and Hen are able to get his heart started again, while Athena begins her investigation.
The only clue is the boot print on Grahams head and a whole lot of motives.
(Of course you do; were you raised in a barn?)
Elsewhere, the 118 is dealing with a potential jumper on a freeway overpass.
Wanna be a hero?
he tells the actor.
Brad is finally ready to step up and save the day, and Craig is genuinely starstruck.
When Craigs wife left, he binged three seasons ofHotshots.
But Brad is feeling too down on himself to acknowledge whatHotshotsmeans to people.
Besides, he tells Craig, his character isnt waking up from the coma they wrote him into.
You cant kill off Captain Banner, Craig pleads.
Hes what keeps the 119 fire family together!
No disrespect to Callum Blue, who I like a lot as an actor, but … its time.
Looks can be deceiving!
To paraphrase Craig, you cant write off Eddie Diaz hes what keeps the 118 fire family together!
Try not to think too much about the logistics of these very busy people suddenly breaking into acting.
I dont like that Ive seen far more of him than of Karen, for example!
I once again have to give kudos to Angela Bassett for nailing some cringey dialogue.
And you know what?
(Hes really looking at houses in El Paso, which is less erotic.)
See you all back here in March!
