More Detail:

Episode Three and Four of COUNTY RESCUE on Great American Family continue the story of who will be chosen the new EMT, as the rivalry between Dani, Tim and Griffin for the job intensifies, and the story of a veteran paramedic fighting PTSD and an alcohol problem. Episode Three and Four of COUNTY RESCUE are excellent television programs dealing with deep questions of faith, duty and moral responsibility in a compelling, engaging manner.

Episode Three begins with Dani agreeing to spend some fun time with Griffin to blow off steam after she botched a job of loading a gurney onto an ambulance in Episode Two. Dani learns she has a lot in common with Griffin. For example, just as she struggles with getting her mother’s approval, Griffin struggles with getting his father’s approval.

As viewers learned previously, Griffin seems to have the inside track on getting the EMT job because his father is Chief of the Fire Department for Nashville. He’s also friends with the EMT chief, Scotty, the one who will make the decision on the EMT job.

Tim gets super jealous about Dani sending more time with Griffin. This leads to a dramatic break in Dani’s friendship with Tim. Then, Tim saves a celebrity’s life, which gets on the news and gives him an inside track for the job.

As a result, Dani begins to question in Episode Four God’s call on her life to be an EMT. With only two shifts left to prove her worth to the EMT Chief, she wonders if her mother was right all along about trying to be an EMT.

Meanwhile, one of the paramedics, Duke, a 10-year veteran, has a drinking problem because of PTSD that’s accumulated over the years, especially when he has to go on calls where children are sick or have been injured. This causes friction between Duke and his wife, Tiffany. A complication ensues when Tiffany tries to get help from Duke’s friend, Marcos, a paramedic who works closely with Duke.

The drama in Season One of COUNTY RESCUE comes to a head in these two episodes. Episode Four ends with two suspenseful cliffhangers that will encourage viewers to see how the final episode, Number Five, resolves things.

Episode Three and Four are excellent television programs dealing with deep questions of faith, duty and moral responsibility in a compelling, engaging manner.
