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.

Kennedy is like, it's time to do an investigation. It's time for me to put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and go investigation mode. And by investigation mode, I mean she calls one of her best friends, another nurse at the doctor's office who also happens to be the island administrator. Small town. And the island administrator had access to the minutes of every single meeting the town council has.

And the island administrator had access to the minutes of every single meeting the town council has.

So she's able to find out that a few days after the fire at Sam's house, Grace had not only gone back to the town council with a new deputy chief proposal, she had gotten approval for the deputy chief proposal. After Grace got approval for the deputy chief proposal, Grace told the council that she'd already offered the job out to the whole crew. And everyone turned it down, except one man, Elijah.

Wow. Grace is playing dirty. Kennedy kind of just blacks out for a second. She's so done with this shit. This child is ruining her life. She has one child in her life and that is her preschooler and she's not dealing with anymore. So Kennedy tells the town administrator that no one on the crew had been offered the position, which was paid, by the way, one of the few paying positions on the crew.

Kennedy says, not only were we not offered this job, none of us were aware that it existed. Hmm. The town administrator tells Kennedy that not much can be done right now because of the holidays, but that Grace will be called in for a meeting with the town council as soon as business opens back up after the new year. We're almost at the end of the story. How are you feeling?

Well, luckily, we do have a pretty sick conclusion from our friend of a friend who told us that as soon as business opened back up after the holidays, Grace was indeed called in for a meeting with the town council. Technically, Kennedy as next in line should have been at that meeting, but the Williams wanted to keep Grace's misdeeds as private as possible. So the meeting was closed to the public.

But that wasn't the only meeting Grace had to attend. About 75% of the fire department, the non-Williams half, and then the contingent of cool Williams, were not happy once they heard about Elijah's elevation of deputy chief, not least because he is a fail son at many things.

And the non-Williams plus cool Williams had enough of a majority to call for a series of crew meetings with Grace to discuss her blatant act of nepotism. Yeah. Except during these meetings, Grace refused to discuss her blatant act of nepotism. She said because of ongoing negotiations with the town council, she wasn't allowed to discuss the future of the deputy chief position.

The crew's like, that's okay. We want to talk about the past of the deputy chief position, as in how the fuck did this happen without any of us knowing about it? But somehow these meetings never really went anywhere because Grace would just spend her time shitting on the town for lack of vision and budget mismanagement. What? She'd grumble about not being appreciated.

Look at all the paperwork she digitized. Look at all the snacks she upgraded. Someone in the back mumbles, snacks that were at Sam's house?

And the thing is, there were still enough non-cool Williams at these meetings that they could easily derail them, which meant that after every single one of these meetings, 75% of the crew would have another meeting huddled in the parking lot where they tried to figure out what they would do next. Does this just sound like the beginning of a union drive? It really does.
