At the firehouse, Franco does bicep curls. Garrity walks in, and Franco asks Garrity to spot him. Garrity wonders why Franco has been working out like crazy, and Franco says that the firefighter calendar shoots week. As he moves over to do some other type of weightlifting (what? Like I know the name? You're lucky I knew bicep curl!), Franco says he'll be featured for the fourth year in a row. Garrity thinks that whole calendar thing might be a little gay. Franco says that it's the opposite -- the women come at him in waves. Garrity asks if he can get in on it, and Franco promises to put in a good word.
Chief walks in and asks if they've seen Tommy. Franco jokes that he might be outside talking to another dead girl. Chief acts surprised, and Franco says he thought it was weird. Garrity agrees that it was creepy, and that Tommy might be cracking up a bit. Chief says it was one incident. Franco prefaces his statement, "I've got nothing but love for Tommy, he's a great guy and all, and he's our brother, but that does nothing to change the fact that he was having a very long, very animated chat with a dead little girl. It doesn't take a shrink. Know what I'm saying?" Chief thinks it's none of Franco's business. Franco asks if it'll be his business when Tommy flips out in a fire and Franco ends up dead. Garrity and Chief have nothing to say about that one. Foreshadowing? Chief tells Franco and Garrity to tell Tommy Chief's looking for him, and walks off. Franco wonders if he's being an asshole, and Garrity says that Franco is totally within bounds on that one.
Tommy rolls up, and Chief reminds him that the shift started forty-five minutes ago. Tommy apologizes, and Chief says that some guy named George needed to go to his kid's school and wasn't able to leave on time because of Tommy. Chief wonders what's going on with him. Tommy says he needs more vacation time, and that he doesn't have any left. Chief suggests that Tommy go downtown. Apparently, if you go down and talk to a shrink and claim that you're all shaken up, you get two weeks off. Tommy is intrigued. Chief says he did it himself. Tommy asks if he was feeling shaky, and Chief says his wife just wanted to take a New England foliage tour, and it was the only way to get the time off. Tommy wonders what he would say. Chief says Tommy could say he can't sleep and that he's got the shakes. He adds that even if Tommy doesn't get the time off, at least he would have the opportunity to talk to somebody. Tommy suspiciously wonders who says he needs to talk to somebody. Chief says he meant nothing by it, and Tommy promises to think about it. After Chief leaves, Tommy stares after him, clearly wondering if everyone else is starting to notice that he's totally losing it. Or has already lost it.
Tommy goes to FDNY headquarters and checks out the directory by the elevator to figure out where he needs to go. As he turns to walk away, he nearly runs into a guy in a wheelchair. It's everyone's favorite Oz prison guard, Officer Sean Murphy! Tommy calls him Steven, so they clearly know each other. Turns out Steven is working at HQ now, doing a desk job. He asks what Tommy is doing there. Tommy lies that he and the guys are trying to get a jogging path named after one of their co-workers who died on 9/11. Steven offers to get it pushed right through, but Tommy rubs his forehead and stammers that he promised the widow, so he needs to take care of it himself. Steven grabs the clipboard Tommy's holding as Tommy makes a grab for it and tries not to look like he's beating up a guy in a wheelchair. Steven checks out the clipboard and says that it's a health form. Tommy tries to explain it away, and Steven says he doesn't need the paperwork anyway and he'll just put it through and give Tommy a call. Tommy thanks him and pretends he's walking out the door. As soon as Steven's out of sight, Tommy runs back in.
Tommy sits in a waiting room and peruses a magazine until he's called back. The doctor doesn't seem very interested in spending any quality time with Tommy, and ask what seems to be the problem. Tommy says that he's been having trouble sleeping. The doctor asks if that's it. Tommy struggles to come up with something else. The doctor hands Tommy, like, five prescriptions and tells Tommy to check back with him in a month. Tommy asks, "That's it?" The doctor says, "You want to talk or something?" Tommy sputters that he doesn't. The doctor asks, "You're not seeing dead people, are you?" More sputtering and denials from Tommy. The doctor says that word has gotten out that if you see dead people, you get an automatic two-week vacation, and now everyone comes in and claims that they see dead people. Tommy says he thought maybe he could use some time off. The doctor tells him to try the pills first. Tommy says that he can't read the prescriptions. The doctor says that one's for sleeping, one's for depression, and one's for the "can't get it up" problem. Tommy says he doesn't have that last one, and the doctor takes the slip back and apologizes. Tommy stares at him for a minute and then takes it back as he stands up to leave. The doctor asks Tommy if he drinks. Tommy says, "No, not really." The doctor tells Tommy not to take the medication with booze or "it won't be good." Before Tommy can respond, the doctor yells out, "Neeeeeeext!" That might be the most lies we've seen Tommy tell in one scene, and that's saying something.
Tommy pulls into his driveway just as Roger pulls into Janet's. Tommy calls out to him and waves, but Roger just glares at him and walks into Janet's house. Inside, Janet tells Roger that she said she said she didn't want to see him anymore. Roger protests that things were going fine for them. Janet says that was only true until he had his friends beat up her ex-husband. Roger says that he had nothing to do with that, and besides, it was only three guys. Tommy walks in and claims that he didn't know Janet had company. Roger says that Tommy saw him pull in. Tommy says he got the part for the sink and wanted to make sure it fits. Janet snaps that it's not a good time. Tommy says it'll only be two seconds. Roger can't believe that Tommy is pretending to be so innocent, and reveals that Tommy held his head over the hot stove burner. Janet is shocked, and Tommy denies the whole thing.
Connor walks in and asks for a drink. Tommy remembers that Connor was there for the fight, and asks him who threw the first punch. Connor thinks about it for a minute as Tommy gives him the eyebrows, and finally says that Roger threw the first punch. Roger thinks the whole thing is bullshit. Janet tells him to watch his language, and Tommy agrees, "Yeah, asshole." Heh. Roger denies throwing the first punch and orders Connor to report exactly what happened. Connor looks at Tommy's face and says that Roger started it. Roger can't believe it, and Janet tells Tommy to get out, because she can handle it. Tommy leaves, and Janet tells Connor to leave too.
Once Tommy and Connor have gone, Janet tells Roger that Johnny Gavin told her that Roger told his friends to beat Tommy up. Roger keeps yelling that it's bullshit, and Janet yells at him to leave. Tommy stands outside the kitchen window, eavesdropping, but someone starts up a weed whacker nearby and he can't hear. Tommy sneaks to another window. Janet says, "Just answer one question. And you better tell the truth, Roger, because if you lie, I will know. Did you have anything to do with those guys beating up Tommy?" Roger shifts his eyes around and says, "Define 'anything.'"
Tommy runs over to his neighbor with the weed whacker and yells at him to stop it. The guy cuts the engine, but Tommy looks over to see Roger peeling out of Janet's driveway, and tells the guy to forget it. The guy introduces himself as Bob Shinsky ["hey! It's that guy!" -- Wing Chun], and says he knows Tommy is "the firefighter." Shinsky comments on the recent fire at Tommy's house, and then adds that it takes a lot of guts to be a firefighter. Tommy asks what Shinsky does, and he says that he's a psychotherapist. Tommy gets about ten times more interested in the conversation and asks Shinsky to take a look at the pills he got at the pharmacy. Shinsky looks and says they're all fine. Tommy asks if he should take them all at the same time. Shinsky says they would turn Tommy into "a real sleepy, happy guy with an erection." Tommy chuckles, embarrassed, and says that "the erection thing, that was a mistake." Shinsky says that he only prescribes medication as a last resort, and he thinks talking is more effective long-term. He advises Tommy to consider that before digging into his stash. Tommy thanks Shinsky, and they shake hands before Tommy walks over to his house. Shinsky chases Tommy down and says that he was admiring Tommy's deck because he was thinking about putting one on. Tommy says that he and the guys from his crew did it. Shinsky says he was thinking about spending $1000 or $1500 on it. Tommy wavers, and Shinsky says he could spend up to $2000. Tommy says he'll look into it, and they shake again.
In the firehouse, the guys can't believe Shinsky is willing to pay $2000, since they only got $600 for the last one they did. Tommy says they can get the lumber for about $300 and divide the rest of the money. Lou and Franco are in. Newbie wants in too, but Tommy says that on his first job, he won't get paid. Lou adds that Newbie will also do all the work while the other guys sit around and drink beer. Tommy adds that Newbie also has to buy the beer. Newbie says that he just remembered that he's busy, and Tommy says, "Yeah, you're busy helping us, queerbait." Hee! "Queerbait." I know that's offensive, but I just haven't heard that particular insult since about the fourth grade. Tommy asks Bill if he's in, and Bill says he's not. When Tommy asks why not, Bill gets up and leaves. The other guys wonder what his problem is, but before they can figure it out, they get a call.
Fire trucks scream down the street. Have I ever mentioned that I live across the street from a firehouse? It's all volunteer, so the dudes don't live there like they do on this show. But what I don't get is why, in this day and age, we still need fire whistles or sirens or whatever. Don't they all have pagers? Because that thing is really loud, and it always seems to go off at 4 AM. Plus, the area I live in is pretty rural, so I doubt all the volunteers live within hearing range anyway. But I digress. In the truck, Garrity asks Franco if he's made the call about the calendar. Franco says they need a picture, and when Garrity says he doesn't have one, Franco offers to take one. Tommy asks what they're talking about, and Franco tells him, as Garrity adds that Franco gets to pick his own month. Newbie takes the bait and asks what month Franco wants. Garrity suggests February, to work the Valentine angle. Franco quickly says that it's the shortest month of the year, so no go. Newbie asks what's a good month. Franco says you don't want December, because no one will see it until the end of the year, so you have to get in the first half of the year. He guesses he'll take April or May. Tommy looks disgusted, and Newbie looks fascinated. Franco concludes, "Yeah, it's a science. And I'm a mad scientist."
The truck pulls up to a building on fire. Chief calls in on his radio as a woman clutches his arm, sobbing. Chief yells out instructions to Tommy as he heads up the fire escape. Inside, on the first floor, a shopkeeper tries to throw water on the flames, but the firefighters pull him out. Moments later, the fire is out. Franco finds a disposable camera in the shop and suggests that they do Garrity's photo shoot right now. Garrity takes off his helmet and coat, and Franco tells him to pull up his shirt so they can see his abs. Franco starts snapping photos as Lou asks what they're doing. Garrity explains, and Lou asks if they're doing "an all-geek theme this year." Lou demonstrates how Garrity should pull his shirt up, and then shows how to breathe out like he's just come out of a fire and is getting his first breath of fresh air. Garrity agrees that it's hot. Lou continues to art-direct the photo shoot, ordering Garrity to lean forward to flex his muscles, and then to show a little nipple. He even says, "We're losing our light." Hee! Lou asks Chief is he has any suggestions. Chief says, "Yeah, I got a suggestion for the three of you. You go right from here down to the health office, and you have your testosterone checked, because you're all down a quart." Chief walks out, and Lou continues to show Garrity how to pose.
Later, the guys hang out outside the firehouse, shooting the shit. Lou tells the guys that, the other night, he was out with his wife, and he saw Newbie in a bar, making out with some chick. No one is that interested until Lou reveals that the chick was old enough to be Newbie's mother. Maybe it was his mother! No, this show isn't Nip/Tuck. The guys want details, and Lou guesses that the woman was in her late forties. Franco makes a disgusted face.
Newbie walks out, in the middle of washing the truck. Tommy, ever the gentleman, asks if Newbie is "banging some old broad," and Lou advises him that broken hips take a long time to heal. Oh, Lou. That was the best you could do? Newbie protests that the woman is only forty-six. Garrity says that's nothing in dog years, and Franco thinks that calculation is probably appropriate. Newbie says that the guys can give him all the shit they want, because Paula is great, and she taught him how to please a woman. Lou doesn't think that's possible. Newbie says she taught him how to do the Venus Butterfly. Tommy wants details. Yeah, so does everyone who ever watched L.A. Law. Newbie explains that it starts when you're performing oral sex on a chick. Lou asks if that's required, and Newbie says yes. Lou: "All right, I'm out. But keep going." Newbie explains that you put "two fingers in her area and another finger in another area." Franco says he's done that. Garrity is confused about the multiple areas, as is Lou. Tommy explains that they're talking about the back and the front area. Garrity still doesn't understand how it's possible, so Newbie demonstrates with his hand. I think this is the dirtiest thing I've ever seen on cable television. Newbie promises that it drives chicks crazy. Garrity says he's going to try it, and Tommy says he might too, but that Newbie still isn't getting paid for working on the deck.
That night, Tommy watches baseball in his house, which is still damaged from the fire. He peeks across the street at Janet's house and spies her standing in the kitchen. Jimmy shows up and says that they have some problems, and asks if Tommy is really getting a jogging path named after Vito. Tommy says it's a complicated process. Jimmy advises Tommy that you can't give to one without giving to the other, and apparently there's a near-riot in Dead People Land. Tommy gets frustrated and starts yelling at Jimmy, but there's a knock at the door. It's Sheila. She barges in, apologizing for showing up without calling. She says she's been a wreck since Tommy drove her home the other night. Tommy doesn't want Jimmy hearing this, so he says he'll meet Sheila in the driveway. As soon as Sheila's out, Jimmy's all over Tommy, asking what's going on. Tommy lies that Ryan has been calling her all the time, and won't leave her alone. Jimmy thanks Tommy for taking care of it. Is it still lying if the person you're lying to is dead and/or imaginary? I guess it's symbolically like Tommy lying to himself. Which we know he does A LOT.
Outside, Tommy suggests they get in the truck to talk, so that they can drive around the corner. Sheila doesn't know why they should. Tommy says that Janet has been spying on him lately, and he doesn't want her seeing them together and dragging Sheila into her games. Sheila complains that it's "a goddamn soap opera" as she gets into the truck. Yeah, and Tommy's the head writer.
Newbie runs into Andrew on the street. Well, not so much "runs into" as "walks by where Andrew was clearly waiting for him." Andrew wants to know what happened the other night, when Newbie went to the bathroom and never came back. Newbie lies that he had food poisoning. Andrew says that he and his girlfriend (thought she was his fiancée?) don't make that offer to just anyone. Newbie says that the offer made him uncomfortable. Andrew says he could have just admitted that instead of sneaking off. And he thinks that Newbie should apologize to Geneva, and should do it in person. Andrew hands over the address and tells Newbie to "make it right." Newbie takes it, like an idiot.
Tommy stops the truck on an empty street. Anyone getting the feeling that Sheila came over to hook up again, and not to talk? And that Tommy is (consciously or unconsciously) making that possible? Sheila accuses Tommy of making her feel like a jerk when she's at her most vulnerable. Tommy apologizes, and Sheila says that she feels like she should apologize for acting like such a slut. Tommy says she didn't exactly have to fight him off. Sheila feels guilty for hooking up with Tommy, of all people. Tommy tells her that it's in the past. Sheila agrees that it can never happen again, and they both agree on that for a few minutes, until they start making out some more. Tommy stops and says that it's crazy, and Sheila kisses him again. And then he touches her boobs! Dirty.
Franco tells Garrity that the calendar people are giving Garrity a pass. Garrity asks what the problem was. Franco says that it was everything. Garrity starts bitching about it, and Franco laughs and says that he was just kidding, and Garrity got December. Garrity is disappointed that it's so late in the year, but Franco says he'll have to work his way up.
Newbie works on the deck while the other guys sit around and watch him, drinking beer. Franco wonders if anyone tried the Venus Butterfly yet. Garrity is the only one who has. He explains that the chick started going nuts, but then she started hitting him and calling him names. He concludes that she didn't like it when he stuck the other finger in her ass. Everyone laughs, and Franco explains that it's two in the front, and one in the back. Shinsky shows up and they all raise their beers to him. Lou congratulates him on the good price he's getting on the deck. Shinsky asks if they'll be done by the end of the day. Tommy passes the question on to Newbie, who looks exhausted and sweaty, and says he doesn't know. Tommy promises that it'll be done. Shinsky dorkily leaves them to their work by saying, "Tally ho." Once he's gone, the guys wonder why he would say that. Because he's a dork?
Tommy sneaks inside to talk to Shinsky in his home office. Tommy brings up the pills he showed Shinsky the other day, and says he hasn't taken any yet. Shinsky tries to say something noncommittal about how it's probably a good idea, but Tommy doesn't get the hint, and comes right into the office and takes a seat. Tommy wants Shinsky's professional opinion on something, and Shinsky reluctantly agrees. Tommy explains about Janet and the divorce, and says that the other night he caught Janet looking at him from her house, and he wonders what it means. Shinsky shrinks, "What do you think it means?" Tommy says it seemed like she was thinking about coming over or thinking about him in some way. Shinsky says it could be. Tommy acts like Shinsky said he was right on the money, and leaves all happy.
Outside, Newbie continues to work alone. The guys discuss how Keanu Reeves is a great actor. I wonder if they were trying to get him in a guest spot on the show. Garrity imitates Keanu, and the guys chuckle.
Tommy runs back inside to talk to Shinsky some more. He talks about Roger and how he and Janet broke up, and then relates how Tommy thinks he had a chance to get Janet back but screwed it up. Tommy thinks he could bring Janet flowers and give her the soft sell and still get her back, and wonders if Shinsky agrees. Shinsky shrinks, "What do you think?" Tommy thinks he's got a shot. Shinsky says that's what's really important.
Newbie. Deck. Still working. Guys shooting the shit about fishing.
Tommy is still whining to Shinsky. Now he's talking about all Janet's complaints about how he was emotionally unavailable. Shinsky reaches over and puts a coaster under Tommy's beer. Tommy keeps babbling about his wife's friends. Shinsky says he needs to do some work, and Tommy tells him to go ahead, but keeps going on and fucking on about Janet's friends.
Outside, Lou gets up to go to the bathroom and passes Tommy on his way out. Newbie thinks he's done with the deck, but Tommy says he needs to build some steps.
Inside, Lou is talking to Shinsky about his wife. Lou complains that his wife is too set in her ways and unwilling to try anything new. Lou lights up a cigar while Shinsky contemplates how much he really wants that deck.
Newbie saws through some wood. The guys talk about nothing.
Franco talks to Shinsky about how his family thinks he has a problem with commitment, but he thinks he should get all the pussy he can while he's young. Franco asks if it's okay to say "pussy." Shinsky says he'd rather Franco didn't.
Franco cooks some burgers on the grill as Newbie continues to work. Garrity heads inside.
Garrity stops by Shinsky's office and says, "Hey, you're a shrink, right?" Shinsky looks up like, "What now?" He says that he is. Garrity says that's cool, and walks off.
The guys leave for the day. Newbie asks why Shinsky was so pissed off. Tommy says it was because they didn't finish the deck. Tommy is distracted by one of his dead friends walking down the street, complaining that he didn't get a park named after him. Suddenly, the dead friend bursts into flames. Newbie asks Tommy if he's okay, and Tommy looks back down the street, which is empty.
Tommy kneels in front of the candles in church, then crosses himself. He lights a few candles.
Tommy walks into his house. Jimmy reports that Vito and Bobby have gone. Tommy says he guesses it was their time. Jimmy says everyone is vanishing, and that it makes him nervous, like maybe he's . Tommy promises that Jimmy's not going anywhere. Janet knocks on the door and enters. She explains that the younger kids went to a friend's house for a sleepover and Colleen's out with her friends. Tommy asks if Janet's been drinking, and Janet says she has, a bit, and giggles. Janet moves closer and they start kissing. After a moment, Tommy asks what they're doing. Janet says they're going to go upstairs. Tommy asks where they're going with this. Janet asks if Tommy doesn't want her. Tommy says he didn't say that. Janet says they were always at their best in bed, no matter what other problems they had. She kisses him again and starts walking backwards up the stairs. She falls and lies on the stairs, giggling. Tommy says that she's a little drunk, and that this might not be a good idea. Janet thinks it's a perfect idea. Tommy says he's going to run out to his truck and he'll be back in a few seconds. Janet threatens to start without him. I can't believe Tommy's walking out on this. Not because I think it's a good idea, but because it goes against everything he claims to want.
Tommy rings Shinsky's doorbell. Shinsky is in his bathrobe. Tommy says he wants some advice. Shinsky complains that he was in bed with his wife, and that they weren't sleeping. Tommy doesn't take the hint and says that Janet is at his house and wants to have sex. Shinsky thinks Tommy should go ahead. Tommy says he feels conflicted because she's drunk. Shinsky says he can't give Tommy professional advice because Tommy's not a client, and Shinsky's not getting paid. Tommy says he's not a professional carpenter, but he's building a deck. Well, he's watching Newbie build a deck. Does that make him a professional watcher? Shinsky sighs and asks Tommy what he wants to do. Tommy wants to bang Janet. Shinsky says Tommy knows what to do. Tommy thinks that's the greatest advice he's heard.
Cut to Tommy and Janet doing it.
Newbie goes over to apologize to Geneva. He explains that he was freaked out and got shy. Geneva says that's fine, and invites him in. Newbie asks if Andrew is there, and Geneva says he's not. Geneva kind of gives him the eyes and invites him in.
Cut to Newbie and Geneva doing it. She hands him some Viagra. Newbie says he doesn't need it. Geneva says he will, unless he can go at least five times without it. Newbie grins and asks for a glass of water.
Tommy tries the Venus Butterfly on Janet, who seems to like it quite a bit.
Newbie goes to try the move out on Geneva, who also likes it a lot. Later, she rolls on top of him and cuffs his wrist to the bedpost. Newbie protests that he's not into anything kinky. Andrew walks out of the closet, naked, holding a video camera, and says that Newbie appears ready to go again, and that they shouldn't stop on Andrew's account. Newbie says he's not into threeways, but the Viagra is making it look like he is. Andrew hops into the bed, and Newbie calls out for help.
Tommy and Janet lie spooned in bed. Janet's face seems to be full of regret.
Franco and Garrity are all dressed up for their calendar shoot. I thought since it was a calendar of firefighers that they would be wearing...you know, fireman gear. But instead, Franco is dressed up like a gladiator, and it really looks like he's wearing Xena's castoffs. Garrity, meanwhile, is wearing the biggest cowboy hat ever; a really jaunty yellow bandanna tied around his neck; no shirt; leather studded wrist cuffs (?); and jeans with chaps. Garrity asks the same question I just asked, and Franco says it's new this year. Garrity complains, but Franco thinks that chicks love cowboys. Well, maybe some cowboys. Not that cowboy. The photographer says they're ready for him. Garrity worries that he looks gay, and the photographer says he would know, and it's fine. Garrity starts posing, and the photographer agrees to let him lose the hayseed sticking out of his mouth. Garrity wants to get rid of the bandanna too, because he won't get any sex if he's wearing it. The photographer agrees, and Garrity tucks the bandanna in his back pocket. The photography begins.
Newbie walks quickly toward the firehouse. Andrew meets up with him and asks if they're cool. Before Newbie can answer, Andrew punches him in the stomach. As Newbie chokes and coughs, Andrew says that when he said Newbie could fuck his girlfriend, it was on the condition that Andrew be present. Andrew thanks Newbie for saving his life, and struts off. That dude is fucking weird.
Tommy finds a Post-It on his kitchen island from Janet; it reads that they need to talk. His phone rings, and it's his father. Tommy reports that he and Janet are probably getting back together. Pa Gavin asks if Janet was drunk. Tommy says he has to go. Pa begs Tommy to call his mother, and Tommy tells Pa to call her instead, and hangs up.
All of the guys add a railing to Shinsky's deck. Lou tells Newbie that if he'd stepped up more yesterday, they wouldn't be in this mess. Lou spots the giant bruise on Newbie's wrist and asks what happened. He calls the other guys over to check it out. Franco recognizes it as handcuff bruises. Lou says, "As much as I hate to stop working, I'm intrigued." Newbie reminds them of Andrew and Geneva and the aborted threeway. Newbie says they got it last night, and explains how it went down. Newbie says they raped him and got the whole thing on video. Lou asks why Newbie didn't lose his erection when the guy walked in, and Newbie explains about the Viagra. Lou remembers that he saw Newbie coming to work today and "just thought [he] really, really liked construction." Newbie says sadly that he feels violated. Lou says it's in the past, and then asks if Andrew got any action from Newbie. Newbie denies it, but the other guys aren't buying it. Oh, anal rape. So hilarious.
Tommy shows up and says that the deck is looking good. Tommy's phone rings, and it's Johnny, who asks if Tommy is really getting back together with Janet; Pa Gavin told him Tommy was. Tommy hangs up, and Franco asks if he's really getting back with Janet. Tommy says he is. Janet shows up and pulls Tommy aside to talk. Tommy starts talking about how great the night was, and Janet breaks the news that nothing has changed. Tommy gets angry, and Janet says that she was frustrated and drunk. Tommy can't believe this is happening. Janet says that all of their problems are still there, and that sex was never one of their problems anyway. She adds that she's tired of being lonely. Tommy thinks she's nuts and should see a shrink. Janet apologizes. Tommy gets angry, so Janet walks off and tells him that the sex wasn't that great. Tommy tells her to kiss his ass, and then walks over and starts tearing the deck apart, to the consternation of his crew. Shinsky walks out and asks what's going on. Tommy says that Shinsky gave him bad advice. Shinsky thinks Tommy needs psychological help, and that if he wants it, he needs to make an appointment and pay for it. Tommy grabs a sledgehammer and breaks the deck, and then orders the guys to pick it up and take it over to his house. Shinsky runs back inside.
In his kitchen, Tommy pours himself a glass of booze, and then prepares to down some pills with it. He changes his mind, and drinks from a bottle of water instead. Kind of a weird ending to the episode, but I guess it was supposed to show that while he's making bad decisions, they're not that bad. Yet.
