Things start off cute, at least

Hey guys, here's a tip when you're on a hot dinner date with someone like Connie Britton -- skip the bread.

This week's episode of 9-1-1 celebrates candy heart makers' favorite holiday, Valentine's Day, and it marks the first real date between Britton's 9-1-1 dispatcher Abby and Oliver Stark's Buck. As you'll see in the exclusive clip above, Buck has an in at a fancy eatery at and gets a table for their date, but their minds are on everything but the food. Inner monologue tells us that Buck isn't blind and immediately recognizes Britton's otherworldly locks (seriously, the best on TV), while Abby sees Buck's bulk through his suit. Check please!

But this being 9-1-1, an emergency isn't far away, and when Buck nervously wolfs down a slice of buttered bread, he forgets how to swallow. Someone call 9-1-1!

Elsewhere in the episode, appropriately called "Heartbreaker," a marriage proposal goes awry, Athena (Angela Bassett) joins the Lonely Hearts Club and we'll get a lesson on what a "Casanova Fracture" is.

9-1-1 airs Wednesday nights at 9/8c on Fox.
