Since Miller is late, Maya asks the entire team to repeat the activity. Meanwhile, Ben and Jack mollify a group of homeless foster and biological siblings so they can help save a life and this triggers memories from Jack's past. The new Fire Chief is already creating trouble. Michael Dixon was never a firefighter, he was a former cop and that puts him on a totally different tangent.

A seemingly simple storage fire became an endangerment to the Station 19 crew due to a dangerous storage of propane gas bottles and poor ventilation, including Andy. Pruitt, hosting a poker game with his old firefighter comrades, leaves the game when he hears about the trouble his handpicked team is in. Arriving at the fire, he puts on the uniform one final time. Inside, Jack and Andy are separated, while Emmett and Travis have gotten lost. Sullivan rushes in rashly to find his lost team members, and specifically Andy, as flashbacks show that he's married her. Pruitt breaks through the roof to ventilate the building to save everyone running out of oxygen, sacrificing himself in the process. This allows the smoke to vent and saves those still in the building, who all exit and realize that there is a vent in the roof where one had been impossible (and Maya at the base of the ladder, crying). Twenty bells toll in honor of the fallen hero, as Andy realizes it was her father who was lost.
4013"Dream a Little Dream of Me"Stacey K. BlackRob GilesApril 16, 2020 (2020-04-16)3136.72 [14]
After the heroic death of Pruitt, Andy and the rest of the crew mourn his death in different ways. Andy has several lucid dreams. Vic decides on finding a way to raise money for Pruitt's line-of-duty funeral, including forcing other team members to pose for a calendar, because Chief Dixon is blocking it (he considers Pruitt a civilian). Maya is subjected to a review from department brass over Pruitt's death. Jack and Dean are called to a house for a third gas leak report to find that a deaf child was trying to get help for his mother who was being abused by his new step-father.

The calendars are in, Andy is back to work, and Maya's mom has shown up unexpectedly. A cute girl needs help from Dean, and she gives him her number. Maya's mom explains that she has left Maya's father, citing the abuse that Maya has accepted as normal. Station 19 trucks are called to a blaze at a bowling alley where several victims are trapped inside. Meanwhile, Ben presents Sullivan with a cup to submit a drug test specimen in. In a heated conversation, Sullivan admits to Warren that he and Herrera are now married. Warren tells him he needs to tell Chief Dixon everything about the drug use, theft, and overdose. Meanwhile Andy and Jack are trapped inside the bowling alley with seven kids, while the rest of the crew tries to bring down a wall to get to them. Flashbacks show Pruitt and Warren having drinks at a bar and talking, with Pruitt recalling a call early in his career where a drunk driver had caused a horrific accident shortly after a Seattle PD officer had let him go because he was the mayor's son. Pruitt says that that cop later cashed in the favor. Warren and Sullivan speak to the chief about Sullivan's marriage and drug abuse, but not before the chief relents about Pruitt's funeral. Dixon says he doesn't need a drug scandal, so they should pretend like nothing happened. Warren realizes during this that Dixon is the cop from Pruitt's story, and Dixon threatens Ben and Miranda with a "drug ring" scandal. Warren decides to take Dixon down. Sullivan announces to everyone that he and Herrera are married.
4215"Bad Guy" DeMane Davis Kiley DonovanMay 7, 2020 (2020-05-07)3155.57 [16]

Warren and Jackson Avery respond to the park where the woman says she came from and find a man unresponsive with several knife wounds. They load him up and tell Emmett to drive, but unbeknownst to the surgeons, another woman jumps into the front seat and points a gun at Emmett, telling him to drive. Maya and Carina are having a great day together until Carina brings up Maya's mom. Andy sorts through family photos and boxes full of Pruitt's things. Travis and Vic are sent on strange fire inspections connected to Chief Dixon. At the station, the bloody woman explains to the cops that she was running when someone attacked her and she fought back. The gun-toting woman demands drugs from the surgeons, threatening death for noncompliance. She gets spooked and fires the gun, grazing Avery's leg. She then gets the drugs from the cabinet, runs away, and is violently struck by a truck, dying. Sullivan goes to the review board to report Dixon. In flashbacks, Vic is a community college student struggling with her grandma's death when Pruitt and Station 19 come through for a failing fire inspection, followed by the inevitable death of her theatre director.

Andy finds comfort in talking to Meredith about her family situation. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew responds to a terrorist bomb threat at Pac-North. While her crew scrambles to defuse a bomb and save precious research, Maya finds the courage to stand up to her father when he openly belittles her in front of her peers. At the scene, Dixon is arrested for fraud and extortion. Travis dumps Emmett after realizing he is not in love with him. Maya makes amends with Jack and Carina, who takes her back. Jack spends time with his improvised family. Feeling they are getting too close to keep his true feelings hidden, Dean tells Vic to move out.

Development

At the end of the second season, Stacy McKee stepped down as showrunner after her overall deal with ABC Studios expired. [25] In May 2019, the series was renewed for a third season with Krista Vernoff as showrunner to provide more seamless crossovers with Grey's Anatomy. [26] Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers remained executive producers, and Paris Barclay remained executive producer and producing director. [18] Vernoff described the season as being messier and featuring more death. [27] [28] Production on the season was completed before the coronavirus production shutdown. Crossover elements from the season finale needed to be edited out because four Grey's Anatomy episodes could not be filmed due to the pandemic. [23] [29]

Casting

The entire main cast from the second season, except for Alberto Frezza, returned for the third season. [18] Alberto Frezza only appeared as a guest star. [20] Jesse Williams and Stefania Spampinato reprised their Grey's Anatomy roles as Dr. Jackson Avery and Dr. Carina DeLuca as romantic interests for Vic and Maya, respectively. [19] Chandra Wilson continued her recurring role as Dr. Miranda Bailey, and Jake Borelli appeared in a crossover event as Dr. Levi Schmitt. [18] Pat Healy was cast as the new fire chief, and Lachlan Buchanan was cast as his son Emmett. [21] In February 2020, it was reported that Jonathan Bennett would appear as the late husband of Travis. [19] Phylicia Rashad would play a blizzard victim named Pilar in the same episode. [19] Patricia de Leon appeared as Andy's mother in the season finale. [24]

Release

When the 2019–20 United States network television schedule was announced, Station 19 was held for mid-season. [30] The third season premiered on January 23, 2020 with a crossover event, while also taking over the Thursday 8:00 PM timeslot of Grey's Anatomy, which moved to 9:00 PM. [31] After the COVID-19 pandemic truncated production of Grey's Anatomy, Station 19 was moved to Thursdays at 9:00 PM for the remainder of the season. [32]

Reception

Critical Response

Charlie Mason of TVLine stated that the show had improved, possibly due to Krista Vernoff's takeover of the show, because the uninteresting love triangle of the previous season were now replaced with romantic storylines that were much more engrossing. [33] Laura Hurley of CinemaBlend felt that having so many crossover characters from Grey's Anatomy was detrimental to the development of Station 19's characters and that it was more interesting when focusing on its own characters. [34]

Ratings

The season was ABC's sixth most-watched scripted television series during the 2019–2020 television season in the 18-49 demographic. [35] Throughout its broadcast, in same-day viewership, the season averaged a 1.05 rating [lower-alpha 1] in the 18–49 demographic and 6.46 million viewers, up 11 and 22 percent, respectively, from the previous season. [37] In Live+7 [lower-alpha 2] the season averaged a 1.5 rating in the 18–49 demographic and 8.5 million viewers, down 6 and up 11 percent from the second season. [39]
