The episode begins with Gabriella appearing hesitant toward Bode after what happened in the previous episode. Bode was close to killing the man who attacked the fire camp and even posed a threat to his mother. However, he stopped because Gabriella was present, and she reminded him that he couldn't return to prison.

While cutting down a tree, the fire camp notices a skywriter spelling out a marriage proposal, but sadly the plane malfunctions and crashes. Thankfully, the pilot ditched the plane before that. He lands on a tree, and doctors are sent to handle the situation.

Freddy and Bode found the plane in flames, spreading in all directions. Manny then calls for the rest of the fire department. Vince, his crew, and Sharon show up. She had a message for Freddy. Freddy was a new dad. His girlfriend went into labor a day early and delivered a healthy baby.

Freddy learned about this from his girlfriend via Sharon's phone. On the other hand, Bode wanted to give one of his kidneys to his mother, Sharon, but Sharon didn't want her son to risk surgery. Gabriella and Bode finally begin talking again due to Freddy's efforts. They then ran into Harlan Denbo and got into a fight.

Harlan, resistant at first, decided to relocate but told Vince that his whole life was tied to the house and didn't have insurance. Harlan then ran into the house, but soon everyone discovered that he and Bode were missing.
