   Summary

   Fireworks on Robby's balcony trigger a severe PTSD episode in Jack, sending him into flashbacks of combat. Robby grounds him with steady breathing and verbal cues, then holds him through the aftermath. Jack fears the exposure will destroy their bond, but Robby refuses to retreat, promising to stay through the darkness.
