This is another episode that is just flat out intense. A tsunami hits, and it impacts the lives of everyone that is part of the series. 911 staff are maxed as they can’t get rescues near the crisis. The rescues are scrambling to save all they can, but so many things are working against them. Buck is doing all he can to keep himself and Christopher alive, as well as anyone else that comes by. The interactions between these two are priceless. Athena is on dry land but is in the middle of a large pile up and this is pushed both herself and her daughter to respond in ways they were not expecting.
Overall, this was a very emotionally charged episode. The story is so intense, it could have added 30 minutes more and been a great movie. Not something you expect from a TV series, but something this series has done over and over again.
