Jason tells Sonny the plane is ready, but Natalia hasn't shown up yet. Jason then gets a call and tells Sonny about the fire at Charlie's.
Chase comes knocking on Natalia's door and is joined by Anna who find her passed out on the couch. Natalia is taken to the hospital where Liz and Isaiah work on her, but she dies.
Chase and Anna go through Natalia's room. Chase mentions seeing the guard at the door, walking away. Anna knows they need to find out who the guard was.

Molly gets to the mansion at the tail end of the celebration then gets a call about the fire at Charlie's. Cody offers to drive her there. Molly is upset and ranting about the worst case scenario but Cody tells her to wait and see what the situation is.
Alexis meets with Sidwell and reminds him that despite Marco being his lead attorney, nothing gets filed until she gives the okay. Jenz assures her everything is aboveboard and thinks she doesn't trust Marco. Molly calls Alexis and tells her about the fire.
Josslyn gets home to find Lucas cleaning up from his dinner with Marco. She tells Lucas Natalia showed up at the church. Liz calls Lucas, who heads to the hospital. He wonders why Marco isn't there and where he is.
Sonny and Jason get to the scene and Sonny's not happy to see Marco is there. Kristina tells them Marco saved her life and explains to Dante what happened. Marco remembers his mother and wants to leave, but Sonny refuses.
Jack stops by to talk to Josslyn about their plans with Dalton. Josslyn wonders if he's really there to see Carly, but Jack reminds her that he's her superior and to mind her beeswax.

Michael remembers getting caught in the fire at Sonny's. He gets a text and tells Sasha that Kristina will be okay. Michael mentions he's still taking pain pills, and she's surprised he's still experiencing pain. Michael says he has residual nerve damage but it's better than the treatments right after the fire.
Sasha brings up how Michael asked for her when he was in the hospital, and he says he wanted to tell her to take care of the baby. Michael is determined to make sure his kids stay safe and won't be like Sonny. He promises her nothing like that fire will happen to his kids.
Marco gets to the hospital and insists on seeing his mother.
Sidwell makes a call to berate them for setting the fire while someone was inside.
Sonny tells Jason they need to find out who set the fire. Jason points out Kristina was not supposed to be at work, but was called in.

How to Watch NBC Outside the US: Quick Guide
Whether you're in Australia, South Africa, or Sweden, The Voice, Chicago P.D., and NBC's Olympic coverage still top global watchlists. But the problem is, NBC's streams won't load unless your device appears to be in the U.S. That's due to geo-restrictions that block access to Peacock and for international viewers. Even though NBC's content travels far, its streaming gates don't. But with the right VPN and setup, you can trick the system, stream NBC live, and watch your favorite shows from anywhere, just like you're back in New York or L.A. We'll show you exactly how to get your U.S. entertainment going, even when you're abroad. Table of Contents You're not imagining it. Watching NBC from outside the US is trickier than it should be. That's because NBC doesn't rely on just one method to block international viewers. It layers multiple types of geo-restrictions, making access nearly impossible unless you're using the right workaround. This is the first and most obvious hurdle. NBC checks your IP address to determine your location, and if it doesn't fall within US borders, the site or app either refuses to load or gives you a blunt 'Not available in your region' message. No US IP, no entry — that's the rule. Even if you get past the IP wall, NBC locks a lot of content behind a cable provider login. To stream full episodes or live events, you'll need credentials from a US-based service like Xfinity, Spectrum, or DirecTV Stream. And these logins are geo-sensitive too — use them from the UK, and they'll likely fail unless your VPN setup is airtight. NBC actively blocks VPNs it detects, especially free or overused services. If your VPN's IP address appears on a known proxy or VPN list, NBC simply won't let the stream through. This is why 'just any VPN' won't cut it. On NBC's mobile apps, especially NBC Sports and affiliate-specific versions, your device's GPS can betray your true location. Even with a VPN active, if your phone shows you're in the UK, the app can refuse access or load limited content. It's a frustrating but increasingly common tactic. Most VPNs trip up on one or more of the blocks above. But NordVPN stands out for its large fleet of US servers (over 1,970 at last count), which are regularly refreshed to stay off blacklists. It also has obfuscated servers to help bypass aggressive VPN detection and SmartDNS support for streaming on devices that don't support native VPN apps. Whether you're living abroad or just traveling, watching NBC doesn't have to mean missing out on The Voice, Sunday Night Football, or breaking news. With a reliable VPN and a few quick steps, you're good to go. Watch NBC from anywhere with NordVPN Tip: For smart TVs or devices that don't support VPN apps, use NordVPN's SmartDNS feature or set it up on your router. NordVPN offers the best router-compatible VPN we've tested to date. If you're outside the US and still want your fill of SNL, Chicago P.D., or Sunday Night Football, you'll need more than just Wi-Fi and wishful thinking. We tested over a dozen VPNs across multiple continents, networks, and devices. When streaming NBC live outside the US, NordVPN consistently delivers the best mix of speed, access, and usability. With a massive network of 7,800+ servers in 118 countries, including 1,970+ in the US, it's our top pick for uninterrupted access to The Tonight Show, SNF, Law & Order, and more. Powered by NordLynx, a protocol built on WireGuard tech, NordVPN gave us buttery-smooth performance during HD and 4K streams on the NBC app, and Peacock. Even when connected from Europe and Asia, we could stream live NBC news without lag, essential for sports or late-night shows. NordVPN's US servers are optimized for security and dedicated streaming. During testing, we had zero proxy errors when signing into NBC from abroad. Its SmartPlay feature automatically routes you through the best connection path for streaming, so you don't have to fiddle with server selection manually. Buy at NordVPN Whether you're on iOS, Android, Fire Stick, Apple TV, or Smart TVs, NordVPN's apps are clean and consistent. We especially liked the Quick Connect feature that picked the best-performing US server for us every time. You can even install it on routers to cover devices that don't support VPN apps natively. At just around $3/month for long-term plans, NordVPN gives you premium access at a bargain. It also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for all platforms, and a 7-day free trial on Android, so you can stream NBC without spending anything upfront. Support is available 24/7 via live chat, which comes in handy if you hit a snag. Pros Cons If you're trying to stream NBC from abroad without any buffering, slowdowns, or geo-error headaches, ExpressVPN is one of the most reliable options. With 3,000+ high-speed servers in 105+ countries, including dozens of optimized locations across the US, it's a breeze to unlock and the NBC app. You can also count on ExpressVPN to access Peacock content while outside the United States. ExpressVPN's Lightway Turbo protocol is a game-changer for real-time streaming. When we tested it from the UK and Germany, NBC loaded instantly and played in full HD without stuttering, even during Sunday Night Football and SNL. Its 10 Gbps server upgrades ensure stable, high-speed performance across the board. One standout feature is MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN's Smart DNS tool. It lets you stream NBC on devices that don't support VPN apps, like smart TVs, Apple TV, and consoles, without complex configurations. It's not as secure as a full VPN tunnel, but it works flawlessly for US content. Buy at ExpressVPN ExpressVPN has intuitive apps for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Fire Stick, and routers, and all of them work with NBC. Setup takes just a minute or two, and their 24/7 live chat is always ready to help if a server gets blocked (which happens rarely but is easy to fix). ExpressVPN is priced slightly higher than others (around $5/month with a long-term plan), but you're paying for reliability, top-tier support, and elite unblocking performance. It's backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test it with NBC worry-free. Pros Cons Private Internet Access VPN is a surprisingly powerful option for streaming NBC abroad, especially if you're looking for wide US coverage on a budget. With servers in all 50 US states (it's one of the best VPNs for California, for example), it's your best bet if you want to watch regional NBC affiliates (think local news, NFL games, or weather updates from your hometown). What makes Private Internet Access a winner is its state-by-state server access. While most VPNs just give you generic 'US' servers, PIA lets you pick from specific states, which is ideal for bypassing location-specific blackouts or affiliate restrictions on NBC content. In our hands-on tests, PIA worked with the NBC app, and Peacock without tripping any proxy errors. Speeds were more than fast enough for HD streaming using its WireGuard protocol, although they're not quite as consistent as NordVPN or ExpressVPN. Buy at Private Internet Access Private Internet Access comes with a highly customizable interface, but you don't have to tweak anything to get NBC working. Install the app, connect to a US state server (we recommend New York or Illinois for NBC), and you're good to go. You also get a native app for Fire TV, which makes streaming NBC shows even easier on your TV. At just about $2 per month with a long-term plan, PIA is one of the cheapest ways to stream NBC abroad. It also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can binge The Tonight Show or Dateline NBC risk-free before committing. Pros Cons Accessing NBC from outside the US doesn't have to be a hassle, but not when you've got the right VPN in your corner. Whether you're trying to stream The Voice, Law & Order, or catch up on Sunday Night Football, using a reliable VPN unlocks NBC's full catalog and lets you stream from anywhere in the world. So if NBC's geo-blocks have been standing between you and your favorite shows, NordVPN is the fix. It's fast, consistent, and hands-down the easiest way to bring American TV wherever you are. Geo-blocks might be frustrating, but the workarounds are easier than you think. Here are some lesser-known questions answered to help you stream NBC smarter, not harder. Yes, but it depends on your VPN provider. Some smart TVs support VPN apps directly (like Android TV), but others don't. With a provider like NordVPN, you can either use SmartDNS or set up the VPN on your router to protect your entire home network, including your TV. Not always. Some NBC content is free to watch via the NBC website or app, so you only need a US IP address. But for full access, like live broadcasts or premium content, you'll need login credentials from a US cable provider or use an alternative like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV (which also require a US payment method). Technically, you might get lucky, but it's not reliable. Free VPNs often lack US servers optimized for streaming and get blocked by NBC's anti-VPN systems. More importantly, they often come with data caps, slow speeds, and even privacy risks. That's why we recommend services like NordVPN, which offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, letting you try it risk-free.
