A dry thunderstorm rolls over LA, bringing in a series of lightning strike emergencies for the 118 and leaves a first responder’s life hanging in the balance. Athena and May go undercover at the rehab facility to help Bobby with his investigation into his sponsor’s mysterious death. Maddie dreads her parents visit to her and Chimney’s new and unfinished house, while Chimney get a surprise of his own from a visiting Albert.

The 118 responds to a skydiving trip gone wrong, a bank rep injured in a home repossession and a lovestruck assistant whose lunch run ends in disaster. Meanwhile, Athena and the family come to terms with Michael’s difficult health decision and Chimney’s half-brother from Korea unexpectedly shows up at his doorstep.

The 118 races to rescue a little girl in a runaway hot air balloon and help with a city power outage caused by a hijacked tree-trimmer truck. Meanwhile, Athena’s investigation into the serial rapist case puts her life in jeopardy.

As Buck’s life hangs in the balance, he dreams of a world where he never became a firefighter, for better and worse.

The 118 races to the rescue when the call center goes up in flames; Bobby risks his life to save a trapped May and Claudette; Buck and Eddie must help an injured electrician; Chimney and his brother team up as firefighters for the first time.
