When the corpse of a handsome young man asks for Tru's help, she quickly learns he's a determined firefighter killed trying to save two children trapped in an apartment building fire. As Tru tries to change the man's fate, the day gets even more complicated when she develops feelings for him.

This thread for discussion of this episode after it has aired in the US.
 
w00t! I really like this episode. They cut back on the running. I think she only ran once or twice 😛 The guy was awfully cute 😉 And shockingly, I did cry at the end, but thats just because I'm a huge sap ^_^ I really wish that Nick had made it through and Tru and him could be together, but am I sensing some attraction from Davis to Tru? Hmm... 😉
 
Putting Out Fires

Missed the 1st ep.

This was big fun. Missed seeing Eliza fighting though.

I hope all the shows aren't sad like this was.: trinity : trinity
 
Yea I want to see eliza fight more, like something normal in the show..I dunno I just love seeing her kicking ass, tonight's episode was pretty good
 
This one was wonderful. While I hope they don't stick Tru in a doomed romance every other week, the emotion caught in this one awed me. And next week looks just as good.

If the viewer count can improve as much as the episodes per week I think the show has a good chance at sticking around.
 
I'm sure there will be plenty of "ass-kicking" to come, but you have to think about it, she can't exactly come out and say that she knows whats going to happen. People will think she's crazy and start to suspect that she's in on it. When it gets down to the wire on her part, thats when the ass-kicking starts.
 
I loved this ep, I wish Nick would have made it..he was so incredibally hot!! I wonder if Tru is going to get back with the professor!
 
This ep was...sad...I cried at the end...I wish he would have lived, cause I mean her loser boyfriend is a cheater and she found someone she cared about and he ended up dying anyways...and if all along it was to save the girl then why didn't she ask for help, instead of him...
 
Hey... I'm a lurker coming out of the dark here to give my 2 cents...

That was one sad eppy. First, she dumps her boyfriend, then the new guy she like dies. Is this setting Tru up for one bad love life? It would of been great to see where the Nick/Tru thing would of gone but... I guess there will have to be another guy.
 
Yeah I agree - they certainly had chemistry.

Really liked this episode - despite liking Nick, I think it's cool they didn't have Tru save everybody.
 
Yeah, going along the lines of what Tru said (board Tru, not tv Tru... anyway 😉), there had to be a point where she'd see she can't save everyone, and I'm glad it happened early on *nods* I knew that boy was doomed from the minute he walked his fine a... *cough* I knew he wasn't gonna make it, it was almost obvious 🙂 Can't wait for next week.
 
I have to remember the time difference before i come to this site and read the postings. I have about 10 more minutes before I can see the show where I am at. I'll still enjoy it even though I have read your responsed prior to seeing the 2nd episode
 
I taped the season opener, and just got around to watching it today, just before this eppy came on...2 hours of Eliza...very nice. I really liked this eppy. I like the fact that she can't save everyone...that was a nice thing.

The guy was a hottie...
 
*sniff* oohh my god...it was sad enough to see that mr. hottie bobottie didn't make it...but to have Tru crying and repeating "ask me" was just too much! I'm a sucker for drama

I really liked this! I am soo pleased that this show rocks instead of sucks. I woulda watched it anyway just to see Eliza in action, but now I really care about the characters.

Her boss was soo cute. It was kinda sad to see him try and ask her out and then he looks over at mr. september lol.

Despite the severe cry factor, I actually liked how he didn't make it. It's more real in a way, like you guys said how she can't save everyone, and it kinda makes me go "ok wait a minute. I shouldn't get attached to every character I see cuz yeah, they may not make it".

Overall bravo! The part in the store with that one chick trying to steal the shirt again was soo funny, how she grabbed the shirt really quick! I woulda slapped the girl but....that's just cuz i'm violent hehe.
 
I thought it was especially sad when she was screaming at him not to go into the building and then he did, and she started crying. That was so sad. When she was in the morgue, that was pretty heart-wrenching too.
 
wow i loved this episode....although i almost cried at the end...
why did he hafta die?!?!?! 🙁
i thought Nick and Tru would be together!! wahh!
and that damn professor guy...i knew he was bad news...
anyways..i really liked this episode!! it was very sad and sweet!
 
I loved this ep. but it was SOOO sad! I felt sorry for Davis when he tried to ask her out. He has such bad luck. The fire guy was nice but he asked too many questions ^_^ Overall I would give this ep. a 5/5.
 
I loved this episode! When she told Nick not to go back and save the little girl, I was crying! That was so sad! Why did he have to die? Noooo!! 🙁 Overall, this episode gets a 10 out of 10 in my book!

When she said ''I'm not leaving until you ask me''...I did get a lil teary eyed.
