Why Did Evan Have to Go? A Burning Question
Okay, so, let's talk about the elephant in the firehouse: Evan Hawkins. That guy was a paramedic chief, right? Not a fire chief, mind you, but a paramedic chief.
A Hero's End (or Beginning of a New Plotline)
Evan’s death was a shock to the system. It was like finding out your favorite character on a show got killed off in a particularly gruesome manner. Just when we were starting to ship him and Violet, bam, he’s under a pile of rubble. Talk about a buzzkill.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Did they have to kill him off? Was there no other way to shake things up? Could they not have just sent him on a long, mysterious vacation or something? But then again, dramatic tension and plot twists are kind of the bread and butter of TV shows, right? So, I guess we can’t really blame the writers too much.
The Aftermath: A Firehouse in Mourning
Evan’s death had a ripple effect on everyone at Firehouse 51. There were tears, anger, and a whole lot of awkward silence. Violet, obviously, was devastated. I mean, can you imagine going from planning a future with someone to planning their funeral? It’s like a real-life episode of This Is Us but with less tissue boxes.
But let’s be real, the show must go on. And it did. The aftermath of Evan’s death has led to some interesting character development, especially for Violet. She's stepping into a leadership role, which is great, but let's hope she doesn't turn into a full-blown boss lady.
