New Station 19 showrunners Zoanne Clack and Peter Paige have six words for those of us who were perturbed by the Season 7 premiere hookup that seemed to doom one of the show’s couples: It ain’t over till it’s over. (Warning: Spoilers ahead.)
Station 19 EPs Preview Season 7: Andy’s Big Test, Maya and Carina’s Reset, Sullivan and Ross’ Obstacle, and Jack’s Future… If He Has One!
Though Travis is happily canoodling with former campaign manager Eli, Thursday’s “This Woman’s Work” ended with the firefighter comforting ex-lover Emmett over dad Dixon’s death. Sounds innocent enough, right? But soon, one thing (kind words) led to another (a tender embrace), and before we knew what was happening, the former boyfriends were tearing off one another’s clothes.

Not necessarily. Clack suggests that the romp may have less to do with unfinished business between the old flames and more to do with Travis’ “arc in general. It’s the beginning of him finding himself. On that journey, it’s one little step for him.”
