I'd like to introduce Blue Bennings. He is our new cadet. Hello.
Look at just practice. I'm so sorry. I lost control.
Is it me or does he look familiar? He does a little. Yeah.
Isn't this guy for charity? I mean, it's for a good cause, but that don't mean we don't want to put the hurt on him. Uh, Blue, this is Taylor.
She's a heck of a firefighter and a great singer. [music] What do we think about the new cadet? Hi.
Hi. Still not quite sure what he's doing here. Pedal club guy.
[music] That's right. Captain Smoke Show. I don't think he knows either.
But I don't want anyone going easy on him just because he's my son. Pause. Go back.
His what? Kids got guts. That much I could tell you.
Must be in the jeans. I will be the judge of that. You will?
Mhm. All right. Don't worry.
We all look out for each other around here. Even the cadetses. [music] They seem fun.
Yeah, they are fun. Mama taught you rape. We should get capp in on this.
What do you do about that? For now, not a damn thing. [music] [music] 57 seconds.
Finally. Hey, you got a little I get it. Hold still.
Your O2 tank's empty. You were moving so fast you forgot to check it. So, you're dead.
I'm happy to see y'all. Happy to see you, too, man. Brave as hell.
Thanks, babe. That was delicious. You just wait till lunch.
Hey, Cad. Got a little something extra for you. Let me go touch up.
You do that. I will. You're doing it wrong.
Really? That's how it said in the manual. You don't trust the manual.
You're going to trust me? [sighs] No. No.
What? Just no. So, you were using a bench grinder.
He's really going to make us say it. I don't know what y'all are talking about. You are fishing off the company pier, my friend.
That was not a question. That was your first mistake. Y'all can see that.
A blind man riding a horse backwards could see it. Blue. Oh, that's dumb.
Watch this. True. But since the moment I met her, I knew there was something special about her.
You guys, slow circular motions. Like, so your turn. Is it illegal to be interested in your coworker?
No, it's not illegal. Is that a circle? There's a bad idea.
You're one mixed signal away from an HR nightmare. That is a circle. That's a square.
Or more like a trapezoid. You have worked so hard to get where you are. You want to risk that?
I love you. See? Look, I'm telling you this as your lieutenant.
[music] That better? Mhm. Okay.
But also as your big brother, man, you got to shut this down before somebody gets hurt. Okay. No chance.
He's got this. I've seen it happen too many times. You're right.
20 says he spews you. before he says he doesn't. I'll shut it down.
You're not going to be sick, are you? No. Wait.
Oh, hey, Taylor. Hey, B. Working up quite [clears throat] a sweat there.
Yeah, I'm good. Easy money, baby. I can t it off for you.
Oh, no. I was just going to ask if you wanted me to sponsor. Oh, no.
I'd never put you in that position or any position. [music] Congrats, B. So glad you'll be sticking around.
Me, too, Taylor. You want the bench? It's yours.
Well, I mean, I was going to do some flies. Nice to see you again, Miss Honey. Call me Dixie.
Oh, it's all good. I'll just do you after. Do it after you.
Mama Taylor's a singer, too. No kidding. I am so sorry.
That was like one of those 40ian slips. Do you know what a Freudian slip is? Nothing like a modern-day romance.
Thank god I'm not single. See you tonight, boo. I'm just going to leave you to your workout.
Good day. Good day, Blue. Bye, baby.
See you later, Blue. See you. Are you feeling all right?
You're acting weird. Really? Am [laughter] I?
So, you're the famous Blue. Heard a lot about you, man. Lately, been feeling this massive buildup of lactic acid.
You two seem close. I would hope so. We live together.
I better go take my glucose reading. Can't check it on your phone. I'm never going to hear the end of it from Jaylen.
Like when you get home tonight. Yeah, he's relentless. So normal, which is good because you know mama gets very ornery when I let it spike.
He seems like a good guy though. He's the best. How is she by the way?
Your mama. She's good. [sighs] She's about to have her surgery.
How long have you two known each other? Shoot. Going on 3 years now.
Was worried about her. Her voice is incredible. Stems back from our academy days.
We've been attached to th ever since. Well, that's a little bit more information than I needed. Bluebird's always been mama's favorite.
Really? Why do you think she named me Blue? Oh, what's that supposed to mean?
I know what it means. Let's just say he was very happy to see you. That is crazy.
You got to go. I guess part of me was just waiting for the right occasion. Blue, you all right?
I'm great. Would you maybe think about going sometime? You mean with you?
Yeah. Well, what are we having? Tuna can [music] casserole.
Are you asking if I would like to go to the Bluebird with you? Yeah, if it's one of your mama's old recipes, I'm excited to try it. It's not.
This one's from her ex [music] boogie. Yeah, I would love to. So, it's happening.
Hey, babe. Hi, Taylor. I love the fit.
It's happening. Thank you. Yours is uh nice, too.
I'll see you later. Bye. Well, it says on the can here, not recommended for those under 18.
So, yeah, but the jingle and advertisements say otherwise. Nice. What every girl aspires to.
Unicorn juice. Ho Coca-Cola. I mean, the advertising is basically aimed at children.
Well, good night. Nothing. We already know that they have body image issues.
God knows what's in it. It's gross. Did I do something?
What? No. Okay, then what's with the chili vibes?
Okay, then don't do it then. I don't have a Jason. I have a confession, but I want you to know if it makes you feel in any way unsafe, we can reach out to an FD sensitivity [music] specialist.
Thank you. And jingle or not, if you're singing it, I'm sure it'll be a hit. Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.
I have done open mics at [music] tootsies. There's nothing that you could do to make me feel unsafe. This is awkward, but I've developed feelings for you.
Five in that corner pocket. feelings beyond a professional capacity. Oh boy.
You didn't warn me you were a shark. I am not. I just spent a lot of time at bars and honkatons growing up.
You've just been so kind to me since the moment I got here, having my back, showing me the ropes. Read the side. You were so talented and funny and beautiful.
Maybe I could teach you a few skills. I bet [music] you can. Boy, you going to make me blush.
Dang. What the heck was that? You do know it's a terrible idea to woo [music] your co-workers.
I know. Told you I'm not a shark. And I'm not wooing.
Ryan Rock warned me already. It's a quick way to land in HR jail. You stay the game.
What? No. Mixed signals and misunderstandings happen all the time at the workplace.
They do happen. Yes. You trying to avoid Cap?
Noticed you haven't said two words to him today. Yes, you can say that. And that's exactly what happened to me.
But I want you to know that this is the last time you'll hear of it. I just been dealing with this family drama between mom and dad and blight. After this moment, I'm [music] going to squash those feelings.
Okay. What's going on? Mom pointed out that they're being a bit manipulative lately, and so I'm just trying to keep my distance.
That took a lot of gutters. Thank you for saying that. Oh, offering to host my birthday party.
Thank you for being so classy about it. I feel so much better. How is that really feeling up?
It's an ultimatum. Mama isn't welcome. She basically said it's a loyalty test.
And for the record, I'd still love to go to the Bluebird with you as friends. If I go, I'd be choosing their side over hers. I'm sorry, babe.
We should totally invite Jay. We can. Don't know if you'd want to either.
It doesn't sound like Cap and BL are the ones that are being manipulative. What are you talking about? He doesn't like live music.
He does. Just he likes to spend his nights off with his boyfriend. Oh, your mama gave you the ultimatum.
Sounds a little manipulative, don't you think? Thought y'all were together. Well, we live together.
Rent Nashville's crazy expensive, [music] but he's like my brother. Thanks again for the ride. I know it's a pain in the butt driving out to my side of town at rush hour.
Oh my god, I really stepped into it this time, didn't I? No problem, Proy. But I've almost got enough saved up for a new car.
I feel the same way about you. So, you know, let it rip. So, you won't have to do it much longer.
I like the company. Wait, what? Good night, B.
You're too sweet. I thought you said it was a bad idea to date co-workers. A terrible one.
You're going in already? We're 20 minutes early. Thought we'd go get a jump on the day.
I'm not looking to date right now. Neither was I. But look how much fun we're having.
Well, yeah. Or we could get a jump on something else. I think I'd appreciate it if you don't talk bad about mama.
Oh, easy. I'm I'm just trying to give you a little bit of perspective. Tell somebody safe.
Nobody's serious. The whole world's judged. Sure enough.
I didn't need it for my own girlfriend, too. Blue. Hi.
Hey, Cat. How you doing? my office.
What are you doing here? You're all soaked. Somebody saw.
Lama kicked me out. Oh, no. You want to talk about it?
Not really. When were you planning on telling me? You mean about the kissing?
Yeah, about the kissing. Is it okay if I stay here tonight? Yeah.
Come on, baby. Let's get you inside. Just how serious is this?
We're still trying to figure out what this is. You okay, baby? Yeah, I I just got a fully restored 6 C6 Mustang.
What is there to complain about? [music] But you are a a something. It's trending that way.
I'd like it to be. I know that you're hurt that your mama didn't call you back. And it's okay to be sad on your own birthday.
Look, I know this isn't what you're going to want to hear, but but you want us to break things off. No, I'm mad. And you have every reason to be.
How petty is she? I think you guys would be great together. For real.
You're like a daughter to me. that the second I don't do exactly what she asked, she throws me out to the curb like garbage. Who does that?
But if you two want to give this a shot, there's going to be a few ground rules. I'm not going to lie, it is messed up. I mean, what if I had an emergency?
Before this goes any further, you're going to report it to the department. There's going to be no funny business in the house or in the parking lot. Would she even care?
I'm sure she would. I'm not. She promise.
I promise. Why don't you let me take care of it? I can reach out to her.
And if anybody thinks about breaking my daughter's heart or my sons, you're going to have to answer to me. That's not your problem. Come to the territory of being a girlfriend.
Well, thank you, baby. Now, get out of here. I just hate how much power she still has over me.
I can't stand that I let her ruin today. Oh my god. Is this the HR thing?
I swear we only kissed on company property once. Mamas can cast a big shadow. Sometimes it takes a while to step out from under them.
I just started my second wash. Okay, cool. I've got a deep condition, so shouldn't be more than 20 minutes.
Today isn't over and we can still turn it around. 20 minutes. But I know something else we can do in 20 minutes if you want to jump in and join me.
I'm good. Suddenly things just took a turn for the minute. Shut up.
[laughter] I'll just show work. You sure? I'm sure.
You say no. Mhm. Mhm.
If you're going to be crashing here, I'm going to need a courtesy text. I'm sorry. Please, God, make it stop.
You need to be careful. Happy birthday, Blue. Thank you, Jaylen.
Hope it's a good one. Thank you. That's how it starts.
How it starts. The yick. Good night.
Night. How could you possibly get the I'm not talking about the looks. I can listen to good sense, too.
Especially when someone has the guts to give it to me with both barrels. He moved in unexpectedly and that can be a lot to take in all at once. Taylor, what did you say?
It's between the two of us. Sorry, just cleaning it. You haven't talked to him about moving out, have you?
I'm getting to it. Let's just say you got yourself a cure. What the hell is that?
Growth helmet. But let's make a wish. Don't have to.
Got everything I need right here. I guess now that we're living together, you're figuring out all my dirty secrets. What do you have in this box?
Wait. I'm not so sure that's a good thing. What do you mean?
I think yours has my supplements. You need to find a new place. Are you breaking up with me?
It's what I'm trying to avoid. Well, then I definitely have the hair products cuz this box is a beast. Feel the thickness.
So thick. Silky texture. What can I say?
I [music] need to look good for my girl. You still feeling there? No.
How does it feel be to be on your own for the first time? Like a new man. You still want me to move out?
God, yes. You guys could at least [music] wait until I leave the room. Oh, you're still here.
