It is official: You want extra tissues to look at Station 19 than you do for Grey’s Anatomy. We anticipated that Pruitt Herrera (Miguel Sandoval) was going to die on this season of Station 19 after refusing to get therapy for his second bout of most cancers, however the former captain went out with a hero’s dying in Thursday’s episode of the Gray’s spin-off. He sacrificed his personal life to avoid wasting the crew from a storage locker hearth that nearly took out half the crew — together with his daughter. Whereas this positively felt like a extra becoming finish for the character, it did not make it much less heartbreaking to look at it play out.
The episode began with Pruitt hanging out along with his previous hearth buddies on the station because the A-Workforce bought referred to as out for the fireplace. It appeared like a fairly normal search and rescue for somebody trapped in a storage facility, however when the place went up in flames, it become a lethal maze with Andy (Jaina Lee Ortiz), Gibson (Grey Damon), Montgomery (Jay Hayden) and child Dixon (Lachlan Buchanon) caught inside.
Pruitt heard his daughter gasping for air over the radio on the station and rushed to the scene to assist.

Maya confirmed that Pruitt fell to his dying in a scene the place she snaps at Dixon Sr. (Pat Healy) about permitting her crew to be emotional over the truth that Pruitt fell to his dying to guard them.
That is the third main dying on Station 19 in as many seasons. Andy’s finest buddy Ryan (Alberto Frezza) died earlier within the season after he was shot within the coronary heart by an errant bullet. Ripley (Brett Tucker) died after inhaling too many chemical substances on a name. Each had been devastating losses for the crew in several methods, however Pruitt was a father to those characters — figuratively and actually. This dying may hit them the toughest of all.

Even so, be sure that to have your tissues prepared for subsequent week’s episode as a result of it’ll be tough.
