[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Station 19 Season 7 Episode 2 “Good Grief.”]
This isn’t the primary time that Jack (Gray Damon) has stepped away from Station 19, however it very nicely appears to be like like it will likely be the final. Because of his mind damage, he can now not be a firefighter.
That’s exhausting for Jack to just accept as Station 19‘s ultimate season continues, however it’s one thing we’ll see. As a result of, regardless of his try and argue, he’s already gotten a second opinion. For now, he’s packed up his locker and, with the remainder of the home round him, added his identify below the desk. Beneath, Damon talks about filming that final scene, Jack and Andy’s (Jaina Lee Ortiz) relationship, and the top of the collection.
How a lot do you know about what could be occurring with Jack on the final season’s finale?
Gray Damon: Not so much really. I hit them up and I used to be like, “So that is it. You guys are lastly going to kill me?” As a result of each season… However they stated one thing alongside the traces of, “He’s not useless.” Then some issues shifted. We simply don’t know what’s going to occur with Jack actually. However I do know that he’s going to have this presence. What that’s, I’m not even precisely savvy to.
Discuss filming that final scene, particularly Jack writing his identify below the desk after which the others becoming a member of him. That was emotional to look at.
It was actually emotional to do really, with the entire solid there. I believe we’ve simply been doing this for therefore lengthy and doing that scene after which actually enthusiastic about what Jack had gone by way of. What was good is that everyone there, I felt their emotion as nicely, and while you’re appearing and this solid is nice and providing you with that, particularly Jaina… I don’t know should you observed the episode earlier than this, however I’m simply taking a look at her as she’s speaking to Ghack—Ghost Jack—and he or she’s giving 110 p.c each a type of takes. I used to be blown away. I attempt to be there for individuals, however I don’t assume I’m there that very similar to her, so I’m simply throwing slightly love in direction of her.
However that scene was very nice in that everyone knows one another. Everyone knows what’s actual and what’s not with our characters and with us, however it was a type of ones that type of felt extra blurred traces, I suppose. It felt very emotional, so it wasn’t exhausting for me to get there, which was stunning to me as a result of generally it may be.
We’ve seen him come again to work earlier than, however it doesn’t appear to be it may be within the playing cards for him this time…
I believe the aim was to indicate that this does occur with firefighters in all probability usually. Generally issues occur on jobs like this, and also you don’t do a job like this except you find it irresistible—otherwise you don’t hold doing a job like this except you find it irresistible. However I believe it’s type of sensible that they might implement that into the present as a result of I haven’t fairly seen something like that. I assumed that was actually fairly intelligent of Zoanne [Clack] and Peter [Paige] as a result of it doesn’t really feel low-cost to me. It looks like that is really a really profound type of factor. It’s type of lovely. It’s an ending to a present, however I don’t imagine that they did that in figuring out that they have been going to finish the present but. So it was type of attention-grabbing to have that occur after which that occurred. Yeah, I believe it’s type of lovely. It makes issues valuable.
What I like about this episode this week is that we additionally get a way of how a lot his work within the clinic means to him. However would he need it to be a part of his life? He’d be again at Station 19, seeing everybody he labored with occurring calls he now not can.
Intelligent. I had been questioning some model of that. That is all he has left of Dean, however it’ll be actually exhausting to come back right here and do that and be round these folks that he loves and are [his] household. That’s gotta be actually exhausting to see individuals doing the factor that had fulfilled him a lot after which to no fault of his personal was taken away from him. That’s type of the job, too. Yeah, I believe it’ll be exhausting for him. It’s exhausting for him to be away from Pru. I imply, all the pieces’s exhausting for Jack. That’s simply type of Jack’s factor.
Jack and Andy’s relationship over time has been one of the crucial attention-grabbing ones to trace, contemplating the place they began.
Proper? I believe it’s actually lovely to indicate how they are often there for one another and type of developed into this brother-ish, type of sister-ish relationship once they had had a lot different passions for one another.
What are we going to see from that dynamic going ahead?
I believe there’s by no means been a scarcity of them taking any alternative to indicate how one can be an excellent good friend to any individual that had meant one thing else to you and will have damage you as a result of it doesn’t worsen than that while you’ve been in that type of relationship with any individual. But additionally it’s a testomony, I believe, to each of them, how Jack had dated Bishop [Danielle Savre] and the way he had additionally dated her. And it’s a testomony to each of them, how that they had each been damage by one another, they usually have been capable of rise above it they usually have been capable of transfer ahead they usually have been capable of see that “I nonetheless assume you’re great as a result of I see what you do, and I see the place your coronary heart is.” I believe it’s only a good instance, greater than something of, if you’re going to proceed to be pals together with your ex, that’s a great way to go about it.
However I don’t assume these two will ever not be particular to one another. And I believe additionally what’s particular is that they will recognize one another sufficient and a lot that, regardless of how they may really feel in one other means, that’s nonetheless necessary to them and which means extra, and that’s not at all times favored in relationships today.
So off of that, are you ruling out the potential for them returning to a romance then?
God, no. After all not. No, as a result of I wish to hold it spicy. No, I’m simply appreciating that our writers, as sensible as they’re, took particular care with how they handled that. It may be an excellent instance in actual lifetime of how one can deal with these conditions. Not all of it—it’s a drama. That is that universe. I didn’t know that I would love or recognize and even fall in love with their sister-brother type of relationship. As a result of Jack is a bit of me now, and I believe I held on to that damage or no matter for Andy or that type of torch he carried for, and I’ve tried to see what avenues in his thoughts why he would begin to date Bishop after. There’s a laundry record of the explanation why that may occur.
Who will Jack be leaning on as he has to determine what this subsequent chapter appears to be like like for him?
The factor about Jack is that he must lean on himself. He must take higher care of himself. He must learn to lean on himself in different methods than he has. However he additionally will not be dangerous at understanding how necessary it’s to have these household parts. He’s at all times going to lean on Marsha [Jayne Taini].
Disney/James Clark
I like that relationship.
Yeah, and the way good is she? She’s so good. I like her to demise, and he or she’s simply such a beautiful human being. We’re alleged to get lunch, and it’s legitimately been one thing I’ve been very enthusiastic about as a result of she’s simply so enjoyable to speak to and listen to her tales. … There’s a lot reality to her when she performs. I really feel so lucky in that they employed her as a result of I didn’t see that relationship ever taking place, and I like that. I don’t know in the event that they did this as a result of I requested them—I used to be like, “You guys ought to see if he can bond with this particular person and discover slightly little bit of household there.” I believe perhaps they have been planning that anyway as a result of it’s such a poignant factor that had occurred to him with the Christmas tree. He’s at all times going to lean on Marsha for positive.
How has it been getting ready to say goodbye to Jack and the collection?
I don’t assume I ever will. Folks say that they should be taught one thing for a task and it may generally take a bit of you. However oftentimes I discover a little bit of myself with roles, and Jack has been attention-grabbing as a result of they’ve been very beneficiant in permitting me to provide him little nuances. He’s a little bit of a slob when he eats, and he’s a horrible dancer, when it seems I’m a superb dancer. I’ve insane rhythm. Anybody I’ve danced with would say completely different, however I simply assume that most individuals have horrible rhythm.
However I’m undecided I ever will say goodbye to Jack, at the very least in a means that’s type of massive to me. However that below the desk scene was emotional. I believe we had simply discovered that the present was on its final season. So it was type of straightforward for us to be like, “Oh, nicely, crap.” After which I believe only for Jack and figuring out what he’s gone by way of and making an attempt to place myself in that as a lot as doable to do service for those who could be going by way of this stuff, yeah, I used to be simply type of like, “Oh, crap, man.” He simply can’t catch a break within the ways in which I really feel like he actually wants, however he at all times type of will get what he actually does want. Greater image. We’re proper the place we must be, I suppose.
So that you discovered in regards to the collection ending as you’re capturing at an emotional scene, so that you’re already emotional.
Yeah, all of us have been, I believe. It was lovely. I didn’t see them. I’m simply there taking a look at my handwriting, crying about how I can’t learn my very own handwriting. However I felt them a lot. Andy and Vic [on either side] have been there to only try to consolation him on this most horribly unhappy factor that he would in all probability ever undergo after he’s been by way of a lot.
