What happened last time?
In the previous episode, titled Stockholm, viewers saw Nichelle's water break in the middle of work. What makes the situation even more tricky is that her due date is not until three weeks. She is in early labor now and that makes her panic even more about what might go wrong on top of the pain and the hormones she is already experiencing.
Thankfully, Hondo was able to work the situation out by remaining calm and helping her navigate the crisis. The bag is packed and the house is already babyproofed. As the duo head to the hospital, Hondo calls both their parents.
