Can we get a demonstration?
When does his voice come out?
When does his voice come out?
So something in Kennedy kind of just snaps when Grace starts yelling. Maybe it's the specter of snack embezzlement. Maybe it's the fact that they all just spent hours cleaning up the mess of Grace's stupid boyfriend. Whatever it is, it just makes Kennedy go berserk. And by berserk, I mean she puts on her mom voice and very calmly and methodically explains

how gracious changes to the organizational structure of the fire department had led to that day's crisis. Kennedy is so calm, so methodical, that the rest of the crew just starts slowly nodding their head in agreement. By the end of her speech, even Elijah, Grace's father, is mumbling something about change being implemented in increments. Wow.

And Grace may be young and perhaps stigmatized, but she's not stupid. Yeah. She's like, you know what? Fine. And she agrees to do a thorough review of her recent changes. And at first, Kennedy thinks it's the power of her mom voice, which, to be fair, is very powerful.

But later, Kennedy learns from one of the cool Williams that the family was not pleased with Grace's choice of boyfriend or that he had embarrassed her so thoroughly. So all of that explains why a few days after the fire at Sam's house, Grace promotes everyone who has served on the fire department for longer than a year to lead firefighter, which at that point is basically everyone.

Another reason Kennedy suspects she's giving crumbs is because Grace had been stuck going on call two weeks out of the month because every crew needed a lead firefighter. And under Grace's previous plan, there were so few of them. Right. Right. So this quells some of the tension, as does the approach of Christmas. And Christmas on S*** Island is truly something to behold.

Everyone just puts their whole backs into decorating. The island's tree lighting ceremony is one of Kennedy's favorite moments of the entire year. It is so gorgeous. So she's just returned from the tree lighting ceremony. She's in a great mood. She knows she has some cookies at home from a neighbor.

When she checks her email, and she receives an email, one that she receives every single year, from the town bookkeeper that details the fire department's finances. Except something is different this year. This year, Elijah Williams is cc'd on it. And at first, Kennedy actually doesn't think a whole lot of it because there are so many Williams who are in positions of power in the town.

Emails get swapped all the time. You mean to send it to Williams1 at gmail.com and instead you send it to Williams3 at yahoo.com. It happens all the time. So Kennedy just responds back to the town bookkeeper like, happy holidays, lovely seeing you with the tree lighting. You've got the wrong Williams CC'd here. And the town bookkeeper responds like, I don't think so.

As deputy chief, Elijah Williams needs to be CC'd on these emails going forward. Kennedy's like the math lady meme. She's like running calculations in her head. Oh, shit. It had been months since Grace originally proposed the creation of the deputy chief position that had gotten vetoed, and Kennedy hadn't really heard about it since. Right. Right.
