Overview

Otis tries to impress the new firefighter, Mills, by flexing his status on the squad. But when he expects praise, his teammates shut him down instead. Things get even worse when the fire truck driving role Otis was supposed to get is suddenly handed to Mills, leaving Otis unconvinced and frustrated.

Otis’s Shift in Fortune

When “Squad 67” needs support, Otis volunteers with confidence—only to face sarcasm and backlash from his crew. Furious, he storms out of Firehouse 51 and heads to a smaller station.

At the new station, Otis’s attitude finally starts paying off:

• The team actually listens to his “corny jokes.”
• They take him seriously.
• They even let him drive on calls.

Feeling recognized for the first time, Otis decides to permanently transfer.

Station Politics and the Real Motivation

While Lieutenant Casey reluctantly supports Otis’s decision (noting the station’s culture includes teasing), Kelly is less supportive—because Otis’s move benefits him financially.

Kelly reveals that when Otis first joined, the crew made a bet on whether he would make it to full membership. Kelly smugly enjoys the payoff, and Otis becomes furious—immediately retracting his transfer request and rejecting the idea that anyone ever bet against him.
