Clara has all of those skills that you mentioned. Clara, charismatic. Clara, such a direct communicator. She knows how to praise early and often, but also knows how to give proper feedback. And one important thing to know about Clara is that she recently got engaged, the love of her life. The whole fire department is all like, Clara, Clara, Clara, Clara.

Kennedy is also over the moon because she loves Clara and Kennedy also loves love. But Kennedy's also a little nervous because Clara is stepping down to plan her wedding. Very fair. I've never planned a wedding before, but I've heard it's a lot of work.

Clara's like, I'm not planning a wedding and volunteer fire chiefing. I just got to do one of these things. I'm going to focus on my personal life. And so when Clara steps down, she appointed Grace Williams as her successor. Technically, Kennedy, who is assistant chief, was up for the job. But four years of the fire department have made Kennedy no less afraid of driving the fire truck.

It's too big and unwieldy and loud. Kennedy won't even drive a U-Haul. She's not doing that. Meanwhile, Grace loved driving the fire truck, and she's a great firefighter insofar as anyone is on this island, because it's so small, almost none of the job really entailed fighting fires.

But Grace is very organized and also very young, which means she both has a lot of energy and no kids, while Kennedy has a preschooler at this point. When Grace joined the fire department, she started doing a lot of extra projects for the crew, like... reorganizing the storage closet so that it's usable and not a fire hazard. So all of that is why Claire tapped her to become the chief.

But why Grace is confirmed as chief through a majority vote is because all of those reasons and because Grace is a Williams.

Most of them stayed on the island and had several children, each of whom have stayed on the island and had several children, some of whom are still on the island. They have their own special seats in a corner of the stadium at football games. They're like a little mafia.

Now. And the Williams have been some of the first settlers on this island. So they're both incredibly important to the island's founding and also incredibly infamous for some of their ancestors, um... Misadventures?

One of the reasons the fire department is so respected on this island is because way back in 1923, Grace's great-grandmother Eunice Williams, her barn had burned down in what became the biggest fire in island history.
