So, Mills Ditched the Hose for a Fryer?
Let’s talk about Peter Mills, the firefighter-turned-flipper. Remember him? The guy who traded in his helmet for a chef’s hat. A bold move, we gotta say. It’s like trading in your firetruck for a food truck.
The Great Mills Exodus
Now, the million-dollar question is: Why did Mills chuck it all in? Did he get tired of smelling like burnt toast and adrenaline? Or was it a sudden craving for bacon grease? We’ll never know for sure, but the writers sure threw us a curveball with that one. It was like watching your favorite character order a salad in a steakhouse. Unexpected, to say the least.
Some theories floating around include:
- The Family Factor: Maybe he realized that fighting fires and family time don’t mix. Who needs to rescue cats from trees when you can rescue your family from boredom?
- The Career Change Craze: Perhaps he was bitten by the entrepreneur bug. You know, the one that makes you think you can turn anything into a business. Like, who wouldn’t want to invest in a firefighter-owned diner?
- The Writer’s Block: Let’s face it, sometimes characters need a break. Maybe the writers were out of ideas for Mills, so they sent him packing to North Carolina.
