Most Memorable Scene: Marjan getting the 126 to help Mateo pass his exams (9-1-1: Lone Star)

It's 9-1-1 Monday, and I thought I'd focus on 9-1-1: Lone Star. I love this scene from the first season sixth episode Friends Like These because they were a new team and were still in the process of getting to know each other. But when there's a problem they were all willing to help. For instance, Marjan Marwani realizing that probationary fire fighter Mateo Chavez was having difficulty passing his exams due to a learning disability (he has dyslexia) and got the team to help.

Although there was a little bit of grumbling at first from Judd Ryder and Paul Strickland but what I like is that despite that, they all were willing to help. Especially once those two found out about Mateo's learning disability. This was something that none of them didn't have to do but it showed just how compassionate the entire team was and that they wanted to make sure that Mateo finally passed his exams. They could have easily been thoughtless and selfish and said it was Mateo's problem and not bothered to help. Which is why I'm glad these characters are not written like that instead they are kind and caring and a little zany which makes them such fun characters.

Okay, total side note, I am so glad they stopped using that gray filter for the show because it made everything looked cold and washed out.
