So Sam now also works for Grace's father as a shitty handyman for the shitty little vacation rentals, and now he has somehow managed to start a fire.

So the fire truck comes screeching to a halt in front of Sam's house, sirens blaring, and Kennedy can see that the main house seems fine, but there is a detached garage that backs up against the forest, and there's just smoke pouring from under the eaves of the garage.

Kennedy looks around, waiting for Grace to leap into action. Have you ever been sent into the flight part of Fight or Flight at the absolute worst moment possible?

But in that moment, Grace is like, someone has to do something. And Kennedy's like, Grace, you have to do something. What? And the crew is like, based on your detailed flow chart, we are not allowed to do something until you tell us to do something. Meanwhile, the fire is spreading.

It's leaping into the blackberry bush that Sam has not trimmed from his yard, even though the fire department has sent out so many notices to the island about trimming blackberry bushes on private property. Ugh. Eventually, Elijah, who also is on call, takes charge as the only other lead firefighter and they get the fire put out. There's a hole in the roof.

The whole garage smells like smoke in a way that Kennedy knows is going to take months, if not years, to get rid of.

But overall, the garage is going to be fine. Grace spends the whole time sobbing over Sam, who is completely fine, if Kennedy suspects a little stone. It's while the crew is cleaning up the scene, which is one of their only duties they're allowed to do without supervision, that they finally figure out what caused the fire.

Sam, genius that he is, had blown a fuse trying to use a microwave and a toaster oven at the same time in the detached garage. No. Which, by the way, was absolutely full of partially charred snacks. Snacks that look just a little bit familiar. No! Wait, the fancy snacks? Correct.

Kennedy is looking at some spin drift that she remembers unloading into the firehouse, along with a giant half-melted plastic jar of peanut butter pretzels that she was pretty sure had gone missing a week back. Kennedy is like, is this snack embezzlement?

The crew starts gossiping on the ride back to the fire station, which also happens to be when Grace finally stops, like, shaking, crying, and throwing up, and starts yelling. Why did no one do anything? Do you have a, I'm really mad, but I'm not gonna show it, I'm gonna be calm voice?

Can we get a demonstration?
