The episode ended with the weird music of the space needle rescue, and Capt. Stanley upset Engine 51 wouldn't start . The episode never returned to Rampart to tell us if hippie Jane lived or not from anthrax and pneumonia she contracted from woolsorter's disease. We have to assume Dr. Brackett saved her life and she made a full recovery.

Most romantic rescue ever? Weird

Warning: Spoilers
The episode was a good one. Especially since it showed that the Firehouse would have situations that would put them out of service and keep them from doing their jobs. From Squad to Engine, all in the same day! Now that's true to life!
Where the ball was dropped is with the Anthrax case, especially in the hospital, where they leave us hanging with the patient in distress. What were they thinking, leaving us in the middle like that, with no resolution? I know the usual format is to show a big rescue at the end, but that could still have been done without sacrificing a storyline this way. Unless that was their intention, as it is from time to time, to leave something unresolved and leave the viewer to "write their own ending," in their own mind. Personally, I've never cared for that approach and it has ruined many a good story for me, from books to movies and tv shows. This is not the first time the writing/directing staff has done this.
Most of the episodes are great and I know that you may not hit 100% all the time. This is still a great series to watch!
