‘Station 19’ Season 5 Episode 11: Theo Ruiz supports Vic Hughes with her abortion
In Station 19 Season 5 Episode 10, Vic decided she could not wait until her sixth week of pregnancy for a surgical abortion. Instead, she tells Carina DeLuca (Stefania Spampinato) that she’s ready for the abortion pill. Travis Montgomery (Jay Hayden) offers to join her at the appointment, but Vic insists she and Theo should go through it together. When Vic tells Theo to go, he stays and insists that she be herself around him.
Theo tells Vic that she’s pushed him away and hasn’t asked his feelings at all. He admits that he’s sad but remembers his mom having an abortion shortly after his father died. Theo tells Vic that his aunts stopped talking to his mother afterward rather than supporting her. As they walk, Vic doubles over in pain, so Theo helps her home. Vic has been miserable since the writers killed off Dean Miller (Okieriete Onaodowan). It’s a breath of fresh air to see Theo taking care of her and that she’s finally letting him back in.
