Bobby thinks something is off but Wendell just brushes his concern off and blames the Santa Ana winds. Bobby doesn’t believe him but he sees him off and wishes him a safe trip.
Josh is exhausted from working the Santa Ana shifts and is getting little sleep. One of the calls he takes turns out to be a murder house. He asks the police to check it out and one of the officers gets spooked and injures himself. ..
Chimney responds to the call and is taken by all the mystery that engulfs the house. He thinks the house has some great bones and investigates what happened in it. He soon finds out that the house was not haunted it was just abandoned after the owner suffered from the trauma of losing her family in a road accident. He asks Maddie if they can buy the place and renovate it to make it a home for families. ..
In the meantime, Bobby receives a call from Wendell telling him that he is so tired and that he can’t handle it anymore. It seems like Wendell is high but Bobby is unable to reach him. The team gets called in to deal with another fire and Bobby realizes that Wendell is the victim. He learns that Wendell lied about his trip to see his son. He probably went to a rehab facility near the area where he was found. Bobby feels sad that Wendell didn’t rely on him when he went to a dark place.
Hen and Denny are worried about Eva’s old photos and stuff from her. They call their friends and family, but no one can tell them anything. They all worry that something might have happened to Eva while she was away. Buck tells them that he helped his friends get pregnant because he donated sperm. He doesn’t know if they should congratulate him or not, because he isn’t sure what happened.
The next morning, Bobby decides to investigate the rehab centre by himself and Denny decides to reach out to his biological dad.
The Episode Review
It is clear that the rehab centre is hiding something and I hope Bobby will discover it. It might be dangerous for him to investigate them on his own. He should tell Athena about his suspicions. I’m sure she won’t mind helping him. Better yet, he should speak to the officer in charge.
Denny might have awoken a sleeping dog but it is too early to tell. I am curious if the man is really his biological dad and what he will do next. This might lead to a custody battle among other things and Hen and Karen must be prepared for the tides that lay ahead. Honestly, some boxes are best left closed but it is understandable that Denny wants to learn about his biological parents.
