The story so far
Everything you need before watchingSharon drops into the Dead Letter office with two mother-of-the-bride dresses and a mother's joke: you have the rest of your life together to figure out Oliver's favorite color. They still cannot find the child who drew Fred the Firefighter. Then someone asks why Owen was fascinated with firefighters — maybe his own father was about to fight that fire. An old Denver Post article names Lieutenant Thomas Walker, who saved captain John Marx and died, leaving a five-year-old son.
