Tommy makes breakfast in his kitchen. Katie walks in and says she had a bad dream that Tommy and his crew were fighting a fire, and they saved a bunch of people, but then Tommy heard someone crying, so he ran back inside and got killed. Tommy promises Katie that he's not going to die in a big fire because "Daddy's golden right now." Colleen walks in and says she's running late. She asks for some cash, and Tommy gives her $200. Damn! I don't think I saw $200 all in one place until my high-school graduation party. And even then, it was probably a check, and not cash. Colleen gives Tommy a kiss and leaves. Sheila walks out in a robe and says that she's feeling "a little rocky." Katie asks if they can make cookies, and Sheila agrees. Damien wanders in and complains about having to share a room with Connor. Sheila tells Katie to go wake up Connor, and Katie screams for him. Tommy tells her to go up and get him. Tommy launches into a lecture about how he shared a room with two of his brothers, and Jimmy shared a room with two of his sisters. Tommy turns to look at Damien, but instead, he sees a huge cop. Tommy flashes back to reality, where he's sitting in a bar getting yelled at by some cop for being in a cop bar. Tommy tries the "my brothers are cops" line, which doesn't work, so he tells the cop to take a shot at him. The cop, who is huge, says that Tommy can have the first shot, and calls him a bitch for good measure. Tommy shakes the guy's hand, sucker-punches him in the throat, and runs out with a whole group of guys in hot pursuit.
Tommy pulls up to his house and runs into the doorway. Two or three cop cars pull up behind him, sirens screaming. Tommy chuckles and says, "Sanctuary, boys." One cop tells Tommy he's got a lot of balls. Tommy says it's a free country. The cop says that Tommy was speeding, driving drunk, and assaulted a police driver. Tommy explains that the huge cop told him to take a shot. The cop warns Tommy not even to spit on the sidewalk, so of course, Tommy hocks a loogie on the ground. The cop reminds Tommy that the cops vs. firefighters hockey game in this week, and that finally gets Tommy to shut up, as he acts all scared. The cop leaves and a random firefighter walks up and asks Tommy if he forgot about the game, and if he's crazy. Tommy waves goodbye to the cops and says, "Yeah, crazy like a fox!"
Tommy calls this guy, Ryan, and says that he wants Ryan to rejoin the team for the match against the cops. Ryan is pissed at first, but Tommy explains that he's been working on the cops for weeks, getting them all pissed off, and they're "like a balloon about to pop." Ryan agrees, and then tells Tommy that if he really wants to beat the cops, he needs to call this guy, Mungo Monahan. He's a firefighter, but he's out on leave of absence for beating up three cops at a dance. Tommy likes the sound of that, and tells Ryan to give Mungo a call. Tommy hangs up and sings "Secret evil plan man" for a while as he reads an article posted on the wall about Billy's death. As he's reading, Billy walks up behind him and blows smoke in his face. When Tommy turns around, Billy is gone.
Meanwhile, Lou is having breakfast with Billy's widow, Sandra. She sets down two plates, and Lou praises her flat bacon with no grease. He thinks she might be a witch, and Sandra jokes that he had no idea whom he was getting involved with. Lou refers to her as "some very sexy goddess of pork products," which I think I need to put on my business card as my job title. Sandra takes off her robe to reveal a sexy pink negligee and asks if he likes breakfast so much that he doesn't want to come back upstairs. Lou asks if he can bring the bacon.
Tommy is at the firehouse when his phone rings. It's Sheila, and she accuses Tommy of cheating on her because he didn't go home last night. She asks who the bitch is that Tommy was with last night, and Tommy responds, "Baby, you're the only bitch I'm seeing these days." Sheila laughs at that one, and then says that Tommy sounds drunk. Tommy says that he is, and Sheila is amused. Tommy wonders what she wants, and Sheila launches into a long and boring request to accompany Tommy and Teddy to the track. Mid-story, Tommy hangs up on her, but Sheila doesn't notice for a long time.
Theresa, also wearing a sexy pink negligee, squirts canned whipped cream directly into her mouth. Mike walks in and asks how long she plans on keeping that down, and she laughs and tells him to shut up. Mike says he doesn't think bulimia could be that bad, because you never hear about people dying from throwing up. He wonders what the worst is that could happen. Theresa says that eventually the stomach acid will eat the enamel from her teeth, and could tear a hole in her esophagus. That actually happened to a high-school friend of mine; his was more alcoholic in nature, but his esophagus separated from his stomach due to excessive vomiting. Gross! Anyway, there are much more serious potential results of bulimia, including the most serious, death. Just a little PSA. Mike says that the tooth thing won't happen for a long time, and Theresa says it'll be a few years, at least. Mike suggests that they deal with it then. Theresa laughs that Mike thinks they'll still be together then, and he says that he does. They start kissing. Even though they were just talking about tooth decay and esophagus holes. Sexy!
Tommy and Chief are at the track. Chief says he needed this today. Tommy asks if his wife is giving him shit, and Chief says that it's more serious than that, and that she might have a problem, but that he doesn't want to talk about it until they know for sure. Tommy asks if it's life-threatening, and Chief says that it is for him, but not her. Chief tries to lighten the mood, and Teddy walks up and says that he's got some great tips from his little friend. The men walk off to place their bets.
In a store, Garrity tells Franco about his night's date. Keela walks up and asks Franco if she can buy a purse shaped like a puppy, which is actually super-cute. Franco tells her that she can pick out a jacket too, but he just says it to get rid of her for a minute so that he can discuss Garrity's date's nipples for a while. Garrity explains that his date was a bad kisser, so he faked a pulled hamstring and said he had to be up early. Franco admires the double excuse. Garrity wonders what he should do now, because the chick is otherwise really awesome. Franco suggests that Garrity lie about having just gotten out of a bad relationship, and then say he just wants to be friends. Keela returns with armfuls of merchandise and asks Franco to buy it all for her. Franco pulls out one t-shirt and suggests that they buy just that instead of all the other stuff. Poor Keela. Not that material things are necessary to her happiness, but it would be nice if her father didn't manipulate her so much.
Teddy, Tommy, and Chief get betting tips from Arlo, who has a lot of information about how the various horses are feeling. Arlo claims that one of the horses is gay, and has a crush on another horse in the race, so they will cancel each other out. Tommy thinks that the whole thing is crazy, but Teddy wants to place his bet.
Bets are placed, and the race is run. Arlo's pick wins, and Teddy gives him a big hug.
Tommy puts some cash into an envelope that has Sheila's name on it. Then he puts some cash into an envelope with Janet's name on it. Franco walks in, and Tommy quickly hides the envelopes. Franco asks if he hit the jackpot, and says it looks like it. Laura walks in and asks if Tommy is taking care of two families now, which is pretty funny given what we learn about Pa Gavin in the second season. Tommy explains that he and Jimmy pledged to take care of each other's families in case something happened. Laura guesses that Tommy is getting off on being a sugar daddy, because it excuses his "abhorrent behavior," while also ensuring that none of the key women in his life is empowered. Why does that sound like a line from a television critic's review of the show? Tommy says, "My wife was planning on going to college. She was thinking of being a marine biologist, believe it or not, when she found out she was pregnant with our first kid. And she decided that she wanted to be a hands-on mom. She wanted to have, like, three kids. Not like some of these broads who, you know, have three kids and a full-time job in Manhattan so they're never home and their three kids are raised by some Nicaraguan nanny. My wife fed and bathed and clothed those kids. Taught them how to act. What was right, what was wrong, how to treat people, not to judge people based on the color of their skin. It's pretty much the most important job on the planet, and I think my wife has done it better than most." Really? So I'm supposed to believe that, say, Colleen knows right from wrong and how to treat people? Does Janet even know that? Because I know that Tommy doesn't. And that's a nice thing for Tommy to say and all, but I don't believe a word of it. He doesn't feel that way. He just wants Laura to think he feels that way. Laura asks if Tommy has ever told his wife how he feels, and Tommy just looks at her. Laura scoffs and leaves, and Tommy stands there with his mouth hanging open.
As the crew prepares to go out on a call, Lou fills Tommy in on what they are about to encounter. It seems that a woman called in because there's a smell coming from door, and she thinks her neighbor is dead. Tommy wonders why they aren't sending the cops, and Lou explains that the potentially dead neighbor hasn't left the apartment in three years.
Cut to the crew snapping on gloves and gazing at a fairly fat and possibly dead woman sitting on the couch. Sometimes when I recap for long stretches at a time, I worry that I'll be like that person whose skin got attached to the couch because he hadn't moved in so long. Hey, we all have irrational fears. Tommy wonders what you have to eat to get that big, and Lou suggests New Hampshire. Tommy inspects the woman's medications, and isn't surprised to see that she had high blood pressure. Chief says he needs a mask for the stench, and Laura reminds everyone to have "a little respect for the dead...the incredibly fat dead." Everyone chuckles, and Tommy points out that this lady makes Mike's girlfriend look skinny. Chief says that they need to figure out how to get her out of there, and Lou remembers that a company nearby has a cargo net. They decide to take her out the window, and everyone is dispatched on various prep tasks.
Cut to Lou, Garrity, and Franco trying to shove the dead lady out the window in a cargo net. Chief tells them to push harder, since the body is stuck. Garrity gets freaked out because he can't tell what part he's pushing on. Chief tells him, "Keep pushing. If you go in up to your elbow, it's ass." Garrity gets grossed out and starts retching. Chief tells him to go downstairs and tell Mike to start pulling the truck away from the building. Franco and Lou continue pushing, and Franco swears and says that the body just ate his watch. Suddenly, Laura stands up. Apparently, she was below the body, also trying to push, and she tells Chief to get someone else to take the bottom.
Garrity stands down by the truck, relaxing, and ordering the driver around. A man walks up and asks what's going on, and Garrity says, "Some giant fat lady died. We're just trying to bring her down." Predictably, the man starts screaming and crying. Tommy, Chief, and Franco walk out of the building to see Garrity and Mike tussling with the man, who is about twice the size of Garrity and Mike put together. Tommy and Franco try to subdue the guy, but he tosses them aside like gnats. The man gets hold of a firefighting tool of some sort (I think it's called a halligan, according to forum posters) and starts threatening the whole crew, who are afraid to get close enough to disarm him. Laura's not, though, and she runs in and tells the guy that they aren't hurting his mother, and that they just need to get her out of the building so that her remains can be dealt with appropriately. Laura adds that the guy's mother wouldn't be happy if she knew he was trying to hurt the people who were only trying to help her. The guy drops the tool and starts sobbing, so Laura gives him a big hug. The other guys just stand around and look confused.
The crew goes out for drinks in a bar, and the bar obviously isn't in New York, because Tommy is smoking. Franco proposes a toast to Laura for saving their asses, especially Tommy's. Tommy claims that he's golden, and Franco says he would have been really golden with a halligan hanging out of his ass. Lou says that he doesn't want to give Laura too much credit, but that she obviously has a talent "for calming down overwrought four-hundred-pound black men." Garrity offers up a toast to Laura, and Tommy adds, "May she forever be empowered." Laura gives him a look, and they all clink bottles.
The crew walks out of the bar and look at the New York skyline, so I guess they're not in Manhattan. Probably because of the smoking ban. Laura comments that it's a nice view, but Franco and Tommy both say it'll never be the same for them. Laura asks if they'll still feel that way once the new buildings are put up. Franco thinks they're trying to erase what happened. Chief thinks it's insulting, and reminds everyone of the spotlights that were up for a while. He didn't like them; he likes the current view better: "Empty. Just the way those scumbags left it. No spotlights. No new buildings. Just empty." Tommy adds, "Yeah. That's the thing about the spotlight, you know? You walk out into it, and at first, everyone thinks they see a good-looking all-American hero. And if you stay out in it long enough, people start to notice certain things. Maybe your nose is a little crooked. Maybe your teeth are, too. Maybe you got a little scar on your upper lip. Your hair's not right. One eye's bigger than the other. thing you know, they think they're looking at some kind of goddamn monster. Like they're looking at King Kong. Then they start throwing shit at you." Lou concludes, "That morning? They threw a couple of jets into a couple of buildings? And they threw at us the biggest job in the history of our profession. And what did we do? We gave up three hundred and forty-three of our guys, to save at least ten thousand." Tommy points out that, three years later, they're still waiting for a raise. He thinks they were on their own that morning, and they still are. He walks off, and calls back to the other guys to follow him.
Tommy sits in his truck smoking, and calls Janet. He says he has some more money for her. Janet tells him to leave it on his kitchen counter, and that she'll stop by and get it tomorrow. Tommy asks if she's okay, and Janet lists off all the household craziness going on there. Tommy apologizes, and Janet asks what he's sorry about. Tommy stammers that he knows she gets more of the responsibilities when it comes to the kids, and that she should know that he thinks she's doing a great job, and hasn't given her enough credit for that for a while. Janet sits down and looks flabbergasted. She thanks Tommy and says she has to go. Tommy promises to leave the money on the counter for her. Janet hangs up and looks thoughtful.
Garrity talks to the bad kisser and tries to explain that he just came out of a long-term relationship. She rubs the back of his head and pities him. Garrity says he really likes her, but that he thinks she's too good a person to be his rebound. He thinks they should just be friends. The woman says she can't believe he said that, and Garrity immediately apologizes. The woman explains that she's been dating a lot of losers lately, and that she thinks Garrity is great, so she agrees with him that they should just take it slow and see what happens. Garrity is overjoyed that his ploy worked, at least until the woman leans in for another horrifically bad kiss. He tries to escape her gaping maw, but fails.
It's time for the hockey game. Tommy gets everyone's attention in the locker room and explains that he has the cops totally pissed off, so the cops will get lots of penalties. As a result, the firefighters will get a power play and gain a lead. Once that happens, the gloves come off. Hey, I just realized that saying might come from hockey. I tried to Google it, but there were a few references to boxing, a few references to hockey, and a whole lot of references to 9/11, so I gave up. ["That's definitely what it means in Canada; there's an accompanying hand gesture of what it looks like when you throw off your gloves and get ready to fight, which is effective in a verbal dispute as well -- shows you're serious." -- Wing Chun] Tommy asks Mungo (portrayed by real-life hockey player, cancer survivor, and friend of Denis Leary Cam Neely) if he's going to wear pads. Mungo thinks pads are for pussies. Tommy asks if he's going to wear a helmet, and Mungo thinks helmets are for pussies as well. Tommy leads a cheer and the guys head out to the ice.
Before the first face-off, one of the cops complains about Mungo being on the team and not wearing a helmet. The ref doesn't care. That cop immediately gets a penalty for checking Tommy. The game continues, and Mungo is just tossing guys around when the refs aren't looking, and then making sure the cops get put in the penalty box. The FDNY gets ahead 4 to 0.
Lou sits in his house and hears a knock at the door. It's Phyllis's boyfriend, Greg. Lou says that Phyllis isn't there, and Greg says that she's at his place, and that he wants to talk to Lou. But first, Greg would like a shot of whiskey. Lou looks wary, but complies.
In the stands at the hockey game, Garrity talks to Franco about the results of his "let's be friends" conversation. Franco thinks Garrity must have screwed up the conversation, and Garrity wonders what he's supposed to do now. Franco thinks Garrity should say that he's gay, because that's "a definite deal-breaker." Garrity agrees to try it. Chief wonders if Garrity's talking about "too-much-saliva bad kisser or using-your-tongue- like-an-iguana- eating-a-fly bad kisser." Chief sticks out his tongue and wiggles it. Franco and Garrity just stare at him and say that it was both disturbing and disgusting. Chief says that they should have seen the chicks he dated.
FDNY pulls ahead 8 to 0 with less than two minutes left in the game. Tommy agrees with the rest of the team that it's time to unleash the hounds, and the guys skate out to do some damage.
Greg downs his shot of whiskey. Why isn't Lou at the game with everyone else? Maybe he had some poetry to write. Greg nervously says that Phyllis wants a divorce. Lou sits there, and then tells Greg to have another shot. Greg helps himself, and Lou returns to the table with a glass and pours himself a shot as well. Greg explains that Phyllis thought that, if she came and asked in person, Lou would talk her out of it. Lou wonders if Phyllis wants the house, and Greg says he thinks that Phyllis wants to move in with Greg. Lou wonders if they need boxes, and Greg is stunned that Lou is so agreeable about this.
Franco and Garrity are gossiping about something that's going on, which is clearly Tommy and Sheila's relationship. Chief wants to know what they're talking about, but the guys don't want to rat Tommy out. Garrity finally admits that they're talking about Tommy and Sheila, and asks if Chief knows anything. Chief says he doesn't, but that he hopes Tommy will take a shot to the head during the game that will knock some sense into him.
Speaking of the game, it has devolved into a brawl. The refs try to enforce order by shoving guys from both teams into penalty boxes.
In the locker room, the guys congratulate each other on a game well played. They hear some of the cops outside, asking if the firefighters are coming out or not. Tommy looks around, thrilled, and the guys run outside, where the brawl continues.
At Tommy's house, Arlo and Teddy are having an argument. Teddy is upset that he lost money on a horse Arlo told him was going to win. Arlo admits that he doesn't have any special talents, and that he made up all the stories about the horses talking to him. Teddy wonders why Arlo would do that, and Arlo says that he likes hanging out with Teddy and living in Tommy's house. He concludes, "I love you." Teddy says that doesn't make him feel any better about losing so much money. Arlo sits down and says that he really loves Teddy, and asks why they can't be together. Teddy catches his snap and asks if Arlo is talking about them being together sexually. Arlo says that he could make Teddy happy in ways Teddy's never even dreamed about. Teddy is disgusted, but also curious. When Arlo explains what he could do (it involves a box that's eight inches high), Teddy is disgusted again and kicks Arlo out. Arlo asks, "How can a guy so big have a heart so small?" and he walks out sobbing.
Garrity is having a meal with the Bad Kisser. He tells her that he's gay, and Bad Kisser says that she had a feeling. Garrity is shocked, and Bad Kisser says that his calendar pose was pretty gay, and thather gay friend told her what the yellow handkerchief in his pocket meant. Garrity tries to backtrack, but can't help himself, and asks why she thought he was gay. Bad Kisser says that it was "the hair, the walk, the pants." Garrity clearly is just holding back from yelling that he's not really gay, but he decides to press on and explain that this is why they can't continue. Bad Kisser thinks he's still saying that he just doesn't want to rush into things. She laughs and says really loudly, "You're gay! You're gay! Now I know why you're such a terrible kisser. You've never done it with a woman before." Garrity looks around and desperately hopes that no one heard.
Franco and Keela are on the street. Father Mick walks by and says hello, reminding Franco who he is. Father Mick is not wearing his priestly garb, which causes Franco a bit of confusion, but Father Mick doesn't explain. Franco introduces Keela, and Father Mick says he had no idea, and Franco says that he didn't either. Father Mick asks how Tommy is doing, and Franco says, "You tell me." Father Mick says that Franco doesn't want to know, and says goodbye. Franco, curiosity piqued, tells Keela that he wants to talk to Father Mick some more.
Jeannie is at the doctor's office. He asks her to memorize five words: "Apple, driver, sweetly, queen, happiness." Jeannie repeats them back correctly. The doctor repeats them again and asks her to remember them. He asks about her husband, and what he does for a living. The doctor makes more small talk, and then asks Jeannie to repeat the five words again. Jeannie doesn't even remember that he asked her, and can't remember any of the words. She looks upset.
Tommy walks into the house and says hello to Garrity, who gives him the cold shoulder. Chief walks up and tells Tommy that the guys want to talk to him. Tommy asks what it's about, and Chief says that Tommy knows.
Tommy meets Franco, Garrity, Lou, Mike, and Chief in the locker room. Franco says that they have solid proof, but won't tell Tommy what it is. Tommy doesn't think the guys need to be involved in his personal business. Garrity yells that Tommy can't get involved with a widow, and that he knows it. Chief says that he tried to warn Tommy, and that his wife is getting tests done right now, so he definitely doesn't need Tommy's bullshit. Tommy looks unconcerned and tells the guys to go ahead and throw their beating before they get a call. Garrity says they're not enjoying this, and Tommy asks why they're doing it, then. Lou tonelessly says that they have to, because Jimmy was their brother. Franco says that it's out of respect for Jimmy, which Tommy clearly doesn't have, and asks Tommy if he loves Sheila. Tommy says he doesn't know. Cut to a montage of various guys punching Tommy in the gut and the face. Tommy asks Mike if he's too much of a pussy, and Mike rushes him so fiercely that the others have to pull him off as Mike yells at Tommy to never speak about his girlfriend again. Um, off-topic? Tommy isn't scared, and Mike says it goes for all of them, before he runs out. Chief tells Tommy to give Sheila up, because he doesn't love her. Tommy says that he can't do it. Franco and Garrity both yell at him to give her up, but Tommy shuts everyone up when he says, "She's pregnant." The guys all leave, and Chief tells Lou to clean Tommy up. Probably both literally and metaphorically.
Tommy sits on a bench in the locker room, rubbing the blood from his lip, and tells Lou, "It's not what you think." Lou chuckles and says, "After 9/11, after our four guys and the other fifty-two guys I knew. Fifty-two. Guys I came out of the academy with, spent two or ten years working with, was best man at their marriage and godfather to their kids. What I think? Everybody should do whatever the hell they want, and they should do a goddamn lot of it, because tomorrow, my friend? There ain't no guarantee. Birth, school, work, death. Goes that quick." Tommy agrees and rubs his ribs. He says that every time he walks into a room to talk to his wife, he's surrounded by "disappointment and acrimony and disbelief." He says that being with Sheila reminds him of the way it used to be, when someone was happy to see him when he walked in the door, and would kiss him hard. Tommy starts crying a little as he says that he remembers Jimmy's funeral, and that when he pulled up in front of Jimmy's parents' house beforehand, Janet said that she hated seeing Jimmy's parents because they were so judgmental of her. Tommy pointed out that they were burying their oldest child and their only son, and probably weren't giving a lot of thought to Janet. After that, Tommy and Janet didn't have sex for three months. Tommy says that he and Sheila feel the same way about life, death, and Jimmy. He doesn't know if he loves her, but he has fun being with her, because they're "on the exact same page." Lou nods and says he understands. Tommy wants to know how Lou found out. Lou walks away, but then turns back and makes the sign of the cross, and glances sharply at Tommy to make sure he got it.
The alarm sounds, and the crew goes out on a call. Tommy and Laura finish searching the second floor, which is clear, and radio in. Lou tells them to go downstairs and see if Franco and Garrity need a hand. On the way down the stairs, Tommy stops because he thinks he heard something. Laura says that they already checked that room, but Tommy heads back upstairs and goes inside. He sees a body lying there, and when he walks inside, all of his ghosts are in there screaming that he can't get rid of them. Laura comes back into the empty room and yells at a frozen Tommy that they need to get out, because the roof doesn't look good. Tommy shakes it off and starts to follow, but Jimmy jumps in front of him and continues yelling that it isn't fair that Tommy lived and Jimmy died. Laura continues to urge Tommy outside, but Tommy isn't moving. Laura yells down the stairs to Franco, asking for help getting Tommy out of the room. Tommy still stands in the room, all of his ghosts yelling at him. Franco shows up and asks Tommy if he's okay. Tommy doesn't respond. Jimmy gets right in Tommy's face and says meanly, "You're deader than all of us combined." Franco finally slaps Tommy across the face to get him to snap out of it. Tommy walks out of the room first, and after he leaves, a beam falls on top of Franco. Tommy and Laura frantically scream for help.
Cut to Franco being carried out on a stretcher, eerily reminiscent of when they brought out Billy's body. They load him into the ambulance, and then the crew stands there and stares at Tommy accusingly. Tommy gets into the back of the ambulance, and then looks out and sees Jimmy standing there shaking his head.
Tommy reports to Grinch's office to discuss the incident. Tommy says that he and Laura did a sweep, and then Tommy thought he heard something, so he went back to check it out. Grinch reports that Laura didn't say much, except that Tommy seemed disoriented. Chief points out that it doesn't look good that Tommy had a disagreement with Franco, and then Franco ended up in intensive care, fighting for his life. Tommy asks if they're accusing him of something, and Grinch says he's not very popular in the house right now. Chief says that Tommy needs to clean up his act. He needs to quit drinking on the job, and quit talking to Sheila. Tommy yells that he has twenty years on the job, but Grinch says it doesn't matter. Tommy pauses for a minute, and then demands a transfer out of the house. Chief tries to convince him otherwise, but Tommy isn't having it.
Tommy pulls up in front of Father Mick's church and runs inside. He heads into a confessional. Father Mick slides the little door across. Tommy starts to make his confession: "Bless me Father, for I have sinned...and so have you." He reaches through the window and starts slamming Mick's face into the wall. Tommy jumps out of the confessional and drags Mick out of the other side, tossing him onto the floor. Tommy can't believe that, as a priest, Mick revealed Tommy's conversations. Mick says he's Tommy's cousin too, and Tommy says that's not true anymore. The other worshippers stare at Tommy's retreating back.
Montage time! Tommy drives home and swigs from a liquor bottle behind the wheel. He walks into his house and finds the envelope of cash he left for Janet that morning still sitting on the counter.
Franco is in the hospital with all kinds of tubes and stuff.
Laura reads a bedtime story to Keela.
Tommy walks into Janet's house, and it's empty. The cupboards are bare, the furniture is gone, and even the appliances are gone. How in the hell did she take the stove?
Lou talks to Sandra, who smiles and hugs him happily, but then over his shoulder looks upset and concerned.
In Janet's house, Tommy finds a framed photo of himself, Janet, Jimmy, and Sheila. The glass is broken and Sheila's face is scribbled over with black marker. Tommy finds a baseball bat among the few things that Janet left, and starts clubbing everything in the house.
Chief and Jeannie finish talking to the doctor, who leaves the room. Chief starts sobbing, and Jeannie tries to comfort him, but looks confused.
Grinch signs the transfer for Tommy.
Mike and Theresa snuggle in bed.
Tommy is still beating the crap out of everything in the house.
Garrity starts crying in a bar, and Bad Kisser comforts him.
Tommy takes a break from playing baseball and throws the bat at a window. He unscrews the top of a liquor bottle and takes a long, long swig while standing in the middle of Janet's empty kitchen.
