Ice ice, child.

However the truth that it wasn’t conventional, I can’t lie, I used to be like, ‘I wouldn’t count on something much less from ‘Lone Star!’ I all the time really feel like I’m consuming popcorn and watching loopy stuff occur with all of the emergencies, folks going out and in of hospitals – after which when it occurs to Grace, I’m like, ‘Oh, let me gear up!’”
Now in its third season on Fox, the sequence follows the lives, loves, and job emergencies of the members of the hearth, police, and ambulance departments of the 126 in Austin, TX. Airing Monday, Jan. 31 (at 8 p.m.), the episode “Push,” options pregnant 911 operator Grace making an attempt to navigate the dire scenario through which she’s discovered herself: in labor whereas stranded in an ongoing ice storm, as her firefighter husband Judd Ryder (Jim Parrack, “True Blood”), fireplace captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe), and EMS captain Tommy Vega (Gina Torres) rush to seek out her.
In the meantime, by pure unfortunate coincidence, Billy Tyson (Billy Burke), Owen’s rival who has had an antagonistic relationship with everybody else, is the one one by her aspect.
“It was actually nice. I’m an enormous fan of Billy’s. He’s completed another episodes and we’ve had some group stuff, however this was our first actual interplay with one another,” mentioned McClain. “He was such sport about the whole lot, Grace was performing a idiot on him, hitting him and stuff within the automobile, and he was proper there with it. She might be cussed, and I believe persons are actually seeing that inside this late second and early third season. I can relate to that.”
To organize for the dramatic delivery scene, McClain, who has additionally appeared in “Empire” and “Mindhunter,” consulted her family.
“My mother is one of the best reference, as a result of she gave delivery to my youngest sister with no ache medication. So, she reminds her of that each time she does one thing that she’s not alleged to do … however most likely very similar to precise delivery, nothing can actually prep you for it.

Issues are lastly trying up with the delivery of their child — however McClain mentioned the trail forward would possibly pose not a couple of challenges.
“It appears as if they’re going to cool down and simply have a break and benefit from the child, and revel in one another as new dad and mom, however I’m unsure it’s going to finish that manner. It by no means does!” mentioned McClain. “I believe that she’s going to undoubtedly get pleasure from being a mom and having a household. However, there are going to be a pair issues that basically impact her and Judd as a pair, as dad and mom, and as a household. I received’t say an excessive amount of, however I'll say that anyone comes into Judd’s life and Grace’s life that may shake their world a little bit bit.”
