‘Station 19’ Season 4 Episode 4 Photos and Spoilers: Who is Travis’ father Paul and what is the new family crisis?

Robert Curtis Brown of 'The Handmaid’s Tale' and 'Switched at Birth' will be introduced as a recurring character throughout the season as Paul Montgomery

‘Station 19’ is packed with a set of sweet surprises and bitter realities. This week, there's good news as Robert Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe) is back at Station 19 after an excruciating trial. “If I lose my career today, I don’t think I’ll be able to stay clean,” Sullivan had told Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr) before the hearing. While he is back with the clan, he seems to have a beef with one of his old mates.

According to a new report from Deadline, Robert Curtis Brown of 'The Handmaid’s Tale' and 'Switched at Birth' will be introduced as a recurring character throughout the season as Paul Montgomery. Seems like he will be the father of Travis Montgomery (Jay Hayden). The character is described as a “buttoned-up, religious father who’s hiding a part of himself from his family.”

Born in 1957, Brown graduated from Yale University in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in English and got a master's degree in 1982 from the Yale School of Drama later. From 'Beverly Hills, 90210' to 'The Young and the Restless', 'General Hospital' and 'Dear White People', he has many TV credits and one of his longest-running television roles was Alec Kendall in 'Search for Tomorrow'. Not just that, he also starred in films like 'High School Musical 2', 'Bean: The Movie', 'Who's Your Caddy?', 'Step Sisters', and 'Ashfall'.

Episode 4 Promo: What family crisis will Travis face?

Interestingly, Travis will have his father join the show as he faces a huge crisis. What could it be? Is everything okay with Travis's father? 

The summary reads: “The team responds to a difficult domestic dispute involving a pregnant woman. Meanwhile, Travis struggles to deal with a family crisis, and Maya and Carina’s relationship continues to grow.” A 30-second promo begins with Robert Sullivan and Andy in a corner when she tells him: "How am I supposed to stay away from you when you rescue kittens every day?" In another scene, we see a pregnant woman whose water just broke.

Episode 4 Predictions: Why is Dean mad at Sullivan?

In the new episode, Sullivan's life will be in quite a mess after a beef with Dean Miller (Okieriete Onaodowan). Another 30-second promo for the fourth episode ‘Don't Look Back in Anger’ shows Miller making faces while Sullivan returns to the squad. "Is there a problem between us?" Sullivan asks Miller.

Dean snaps back, "You are not the boss of me, man. Not gonna answer you." Sullivan then strongly responds, "If there's something you want to say, just say it." "You are just a lying, drug-stealing thief," Miller says in an accusatory tone. When Sullivan counters his argument saying, "I was injured, Miller," he tells him, "And you are about to be injured again, Robert, if you don't get out of my face." Why could he really be mad at Sullivan?
