This one was hard.
I love learning more about Maya and Vic. The last few episodes were going so well and it seems like this was the dreaded crash to it all. I feel so bad for Jack. He wants a life with Andy, a marriage, something permanent - and she's so caught up with her work that she doesn't feel the same. And I get that side of it too. Sometimes it's not the right time. Maybe it'll never be the right time. It just sucks when it causes conflict and doesn't work out.
I'm also sad for Maya and what her family went through, what her brother went through. She sounds like a good sister, wanting to take care of him and look after him the best she can, but it's really not her responsibility to have to clean up after emotionally unavailable (potentially borderline abusive) parents. I can't imagine what that kind of life would do to someone - knowing that no matter what you do you'll never be enough and your parents love your sister more.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series unfolds - especially in the friendship between Vic and Ben. He tries to be there for her so much. He's such a genuinely good person and it sounds like Vic isn't used to that. I hope she accepts his shoulder, even if she does end up not needing it. They make a good team together.
Bad... just bad. They can't even do one fire fight correct! The actors should all walk away now.
I'm enjoying this whole role reversal thing, but it makes me feel so bad for Jack. He's crazy in love with her and she can't run away fast enough from the commitment he's after. Dude's gonna get his heart broken for sure.
I wanna see more about Maya and her brother! That story looks interesting.
Once again, this series isn't really about firefighting (as evidenced by them trying to put out a fire by dousing the top of the flames), but about relationship drama. And now the drama is getting interesting!

Things got a little more interesting in this episode.
Let's give it another chance.
