Tommy gets another visit from Jesus and a first-time visit from Mary Magdalene. Sheila still hasn't admitted to anyone that she's not pregnant. Tommy is going to AA meetings and pretending that his name is Bob. Well, it is supposed to be anonymous. He confides in Mick about his visions of Jesus, and Mick admits that he used to hear voices, but now he's medicated up the yin-yang. Tommy can't get it on with Sheila, and she thinks it's because either she's fat (and allegedly pregnant) or because Tommy can only have sex with her when he's drunk. She tries to seduce Tommy into having a drink so that they can do it, but he resists. Tommy tells Johnny that he quit drinking and tries to get Johnny's help with myriad problems, like Janet's whereabouts, and the Jewish cop Tommy feels is harassing him. Laura and Franco are still together, but she's starting to get clingy and he's up to his typical avoidance. Teddy resurfaces, working as a plus-sized model for football fan magazines. Chief finds out that Laura turned Lou in for calling her a twat, and Lou is about to be suspended. Chief also figures out that Franco and Laura are doing it, although Franco denies it. Tommy gives Laura a little lesson on name-calling in the FDNY, and why it doesn't matter, and Laura seems to get it, although Lou still apparently has to go through sensitivity training. A radio miscommunication results in Tommy's tossing a little girl and a cat out a window to Garrity before making the leap himself, narrowly avoiding being burned alive. Tommy has another conversation with Jesus, which leads to his contemplating drinking again, and all that would entail, but he resists temptation for now. In the end, Colleen shows up at the firehouse. Want more? The full recap starts right below!

Tommy is shaving at the bathroom sink when he nicks himself. He reaches for some tissues, and when he looks back in the mirror, Jesus is standing right behind him. Tommy immediately falls to the floor, and I laugh out loud for a good thirty seconds. Tommy stands up, but now he's alone in the room. And the cut on his neck isn't there. He hears someone pouring a drink in the room, and cautiously walks out to investigate.

Tommy finds a woman sitting in his living room, drinking a glass of whiskey. She talks about how Jesus loves drama. Like TNT? I'm assuming this woman is supposed to be Mary Magdalene, since she clearly knows Jesus pretty well, and she's drinking, so I don't think she's Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary Magdalene asks if Jesus has pulled his "regular-guy routine" yet, where he asks for a sandwich. Tommy doesn't respond, so she says that Tommy can look forward to it, and then asks for another drink. Tommy takes the glass, but when he looks back, she's gone.

Outside, there's yet another parking ticket on Tommy's truck, which is being towed. Tommy yells and tries to chase the truck down to no avail. He spots his old nemesis, the Jewish cop, standing nearby and laughing. Tommy points out that he has two brothers on the force, and that when the cops tries to arrest him for pissing on souvenirs at Ground Zero, his brother got him off. The cop ignores him, so Tommy grabs the cop's pen and throws it, and then threatens to beat up the cop. Is that smart? Why am I asking that? It's Tommy. He never does anything that's smart. The cop points out that the guy who just towed Tommy's truck away makes more money than Tommy does. Tommy chuckles and offers the cop a free shot. The cop actually takes it, which surprised me. Tommy punches the cop right in the nose and the cop falls down. Tommy shakes out his hand and the cop laughs and asks what will happen when the FDNY reads a report that says that Tommy broke his hand on a cop's face. Tommy realizes he needs to cut his losses, and hails a cab to take him to work.

Sheila and Damien eat breakfast and watch TV. Sheila sneaks a piece of bacon from Damien's plate and then chugs some orange juice. Damien picks up his plate, walks out to the kitchen, and returns with a full plate of food for his mother. He comments that she's eating for two now, and leaves. Sheila looks like she might cry, and then digs into the food. Maybe she's going to keep trying to pretend that she's pregnant by just getting really fat?

Tommy is at an AA meeting. A woman in front is crying as she talks about how she turned to alcohol because her parents didn't love her. Tommy rolls his eyes, and takes over the podium as soon as the woman has finished talking. He introduces himself as "Bob," and gives the following speech: "My mother was a controlling goddamn bitch too, and now she's dead. And my father is eighty-two, and still pretty much drinks more than I ever used to, and when I was a kid, if I tied the bathroom up for too long, he'd also take the opportunity to remind me that my nose was always going to be bigger than my cock. And I just met my new stepmother, and she's from Korea, and I don't know her that well, but I'm pretty sure she's a raging alcoholic. The point being that I didn't drink because my father called me a pussy or because my mother told me I was gonna be no good when I grew up. I drank because I like to drink, okay? I like to drink. I like vodka, and I like whiskey, but I'd pretty much drink anything you put in front of me that had alcohol in it, because I love to drink, okay? The only reason I quit is because I was gonna lose my job and probably my kids too. That's the deal. You guys didn't make me quit. It was my ex-wife, or my soon-to-be-ex-wife. Thanks." Everyone just kind of looks around at one another, and there's scattered applause. Mick stands up and prepares to follow Tommy out the door.

Sheila goes into the bathroom, stuffing a bagel into her mouth, and steps onto the scale. She's happy with the number she sees, so I guess she is trying to get fat to cover her miscarriage. I was kind of kidding about that.

Laura and Franco snuggle in bed. Keela calls out for her father, and he wakes up, but doesn't make a move to go get her or anything. Instead, he and Laura kiss and share some pillow talk. Laura breaks the mood and says that Franco is probably sleeping with six other people. Franco denies it, and gets out of bed to put on some pants and go check on Keela. Laura asks if he's only sleeping with a few, and Franco admits that he is. Laura gets all pissed off, and when she tells Franco why she's angry, Franco denies that he said he was sleeping with a few other people. Laura starts getting dressed too. Franco says, "You know I had ADD, right? No, seriously. What were we talking about?" Good one. Laura rolls her eyes.

Pa Gavin gets out of the elevator in his apartment building, holding the mail. He looks down at one of the magazines in his hand and sees that Teddy is on the cover, dressed as a football fan. Pa: "You've gotta be shittin' me."

Mick and Tommy have coffee in a diner. Tommy's hand still hurts, and Mick suggests that they go to a hospital and get it checked out. Tommy says that he can't miss work, or he'll start drinking again. He tells Mick that he found Jesus. Mick snarks, "Oh, yeah? Where's he been for the last two thousand years?" Tommy says that Jesus is in Tommy's apartment. He asks if anything similar happened to Mick when he quit drinking. Mick admits that he used to hear voices in the first few months he was sober, and that sometimes the voices were God, and sometimes they were Satan. God was telling him he was a piece of shit, and Satan told him he was great. Why would anyone believe in a God that would tell you that you were a piece of shit? And believe in that God enough to be a priest. Then again, Mick's not a priest anymore. Tommy asks what God sounded like, and Mick says it was Tom Hanks. Heh. I thought he would say Morgan Freeman. Mick says that Satan sounded like either Jack Nicholson or Hillary (Clinton, I presume). Tommy asks how he got the voices to stop, and Mick pulls out some prescription vials and says that one kind got rid of God, and the other got rid of Satan. Tommy asks if any of the pills are painkillers, and Mick says that they're not, and that they're meant to kill psychological pain. Tommy asks if the pills are against the rules of AA, and Mick says that there are no rules in AA. Well, I think there's one, and that's "Don't drink." Mick thinks that as long as he's not drinking, he's okay, and he knows that God is on his side. Tommy stands up and says that Mick is saying that he's God. Mick thinks that Tommy's the one with the God complex. Tommy says he runs into burning buildings to save people God doesn't care about. Mick suggests that Tommy ask Jesus about it, but Tommy says that he and Jesus don't talk about religion. Mick asks what Jesus looks like, and Tommy says he looks like Mel Gibson.

Teddy poses for a photo shoot wearing a loud Hawaiian-print shirt, black pants, and sneakers. In the middle of it, he yells that some nerd is standing in his eyeline. Teddy screams that he's trying to pretend that he's a guy going to see his favorite football team play, instead of a guy standing under hot lights in a studio "surrounded by the fruit of the month club!" Teddy rubs his face and says that he needs a moment. This storyline is bizarre.

Tommy and Sheila are doing it. Sheila asks what's going on, because Tommy is "a little half-mast." Tommy says he needs some time, but Sheila disengages, so to speak, and asks what's going on, because usually being in a hotel turns him on. Tommy mumbles some excuses about going back to work, but Sheila thinks it's her belly. Tommy says, "No, baby." Sheila thinks that he said "no baby," and Tommy explains that he was referring to Sheila as "baby." Sheila is confused and starts crying. She whines, "You don't find me attractive anymore, do you?" God, she's annoying. Tommy insists that he does, and starts talking about how he loves all of her parts, including her belly. This cheers Sheila up, and she starts giggling. Tommy pauses for a moment, realizes it's not happening, and says that he thinks it's the booze. Sheila stands up and yells that he can only have sex with her if he's drunk, so that he can forget about Jimmy and the whole situation. Tommy denies it, but Sheila throws open the mini-bar and starts chugging little bottles of liquor. Tommy points out it's not good for the baby. Sheila doesn't stop drinking, and instead grabs some of the bottles and orders Tommy to drink them. She says that the only thing she has in the world is Damien, and that he won't tell her anything, including how much he misses his dad. So she dreams about the times she gets to have physical contact with Tommy. She grinds against Tommy and concludes, "I don't give a shit about AA. I think that the real battle is between your cock and your liver and you can buy a new liver. Here. Drink this." Tommy takes the bottle as Sheila continues having sex with him, but after a moment, he knocks her off and says he has to go to a meeting. Sheila pounds the bed in frustration.

Pa Gavin visits Teddy on the set of his photo shoot. Pa says that the assorted Gavins thought he was dead, because of his phone call to Tommy. Teddy says that the guy following him was a talent scout. They decided that their football gear wasn't selling because they were using young, thin, good-looking guys as models. They wanted Teddy because he looks more like a typical football fan. Teddy confides that he makes $10,000 per shoot.

Tommy gets a phone call from Johnny, who finally got the news bulletin that Tommy quit drinking and is going to meetings. Tommy confirms it, and asks Johnny to take care of the situation with the Jewish cop. He also wants Johnny to investigate Janet's boyfriend from Ohio. Johnny is surprised that Tommy is still getting into trouble, even though he quit drinking. Tommy says he held up his end of the deal when he quit drinking, and now he needs Johnny's help to get his truck back and find his family.

Pa Gavin watches as Teddy's photo shoot wraps. Pa says that he could do what Teddy's doing, and that it's easy money. Teddy says that he makes it look easy, and that he has a natural talent. Pa asks, "For what? Being a big, fat, happy-go-lucky slob? You bet your balls you do. Say. Introduce me to your agent." Teddy says that he will, but "not everyone gets to go to the big show." Pa says that if Teddy means "fat" when he says "big," then he hit the nail on the head. He tosses out, "Lard-ass!"

Mike is in the locker room at the house, contemplating his gun. Not like that. His actual firearm. Garrity walks in and asks what's up with the gun. Mike says it's nothing, and that he's not planning on using it. Garrity says that he heard what happened with Theresa, and hopes Mike isn't planning on shooting himself. Mike says he isn't. Garrity says, "You're not gonna shoot her?" Mike scrunches up his face and says he thought he might scare her a little. Garrity says sarcastically that chicks love that, and that waving a gun in a girl's face leads to an instant blowjob. Mike says he's just frustrated, and Garrity suggests that they go to the firing range. Garrity calls himself "the Dirty Harry of the FDNY." Mike has no idea who Dirty Harry is. Seriously, why are they writing him like he's retarded? It's starting to get annoying. Mike mentions that he saw Million Dollar Baby as the alarm goes off; as the men leave the room, Mike wonders if Hilary Swank could kick her husband's ass.

In the truck on the way to the fire, all the guys discuss Hilary Swank vs. Chad Lowe. Tommy remembers how Chad Lowe is always crying in the audience when Hilary wins some award. Everyone picks "Swank" as the winner, and Garrity adds, "I used to have a subscription to that magazine."

In another truck, Franco and Chief discuss how Lou called Laura a twat, and that she reported him, and now he's going to get suspended. Franco slips and says that Laura really hates that word. Chief gives him a look, and Franco backtracks and nervously says that all chicks do.

Back in the other truck, everyone agrees that Catherine Zeta-Jones could kick Michael Douglas's ass. Lou catches Laura's eye and gives her a look of scorn and anger. Laura looks down.

Chief asks Franco if he's messing around with Laura. Franco says she's not his type, and Chief points out that she has "two tits, a pussy, and she's breathing." Or as one of my college friends used to charmingly put it, "Two tits, a hole, and a heartbeat." Lovely. Franco says he's not stupid. Chief says he's got enough on his plate with Tommy, his wife, and Lou: he thinks Laura is trouble and that Franco should stay away from her.

One last round of ass-kicking partners. Lou chooses Siegfried, before the accident.

The truck pulls up to a fire in a five-floor walkup. Chief says that there's supposedly a kid trapped on the top floor, and sends Tommy and Laura up there. Lou and Mike are going up to the roof to ventilate, and Garrity is going up in the bucket.

Tommy and Laura head inside. Tommy's hand is already bothering him. Lou and Mike make it to the roof and say they will take out the window on Chief's signal. Tommy finds a crying girl sitting in a closet, but she won't come out because she's afraid of the fire. Tommy convinces her to come out, and radios down to Chief to say that he's bringing her out. The little girl is holding a cat in her arms, and when Tommy tries to take the cat, it runs away. Lou radios down to ask if they should take out the windows yet. Chief says, "That's a negative on those windows. Don't take those windows." The transmission breaks up, and Lou and Mike hear Chief say that they should take the windows. They drop down a rope with an ax tied to the end, and knock out the window, which causes a giant fireball to explode into the room.

Tommy falls to the ground on top of the little girl, shielding her, and radios to Chief that they've got a Mayday, and need the bucket up there now. Tommy throws his helmet out of a nearby window to open it up, then uses an ax to break the rest of the glass out. As Garrity heads up to the window in the bucket, it gets stuck. Tommy tosses the little girl anyway, which seems like a horrifically bad idea, especially since they are on the fifth floor and while the fire is close, it's not like on top of them yet. Luckily, Garrity partially catches her, and the little girl doesn't plummet to the ground. Tommy prepares to jump out, but the little girl starts yelling for "Mr. Whiskers." Tommy curses and goes back in to look for the cat. Jimmy appears and hands the cat to Tommy. Jimmy's first appearance this season! Tommy tosses the cat to Garrity. I would not want to try to catch a flying cat. Garrity is successful, and then Tommy leaps out and manages to grab the bucket. Garrity pulls Tommy in as the crowd gathered below applauds. Chief curses and says, "Here we go again! Welcome back." Tommy and Garrity acknowledge the crowd below.

Once he's down on the ground, Tommy asks who gave the order to take the window out. Chief says it was a miscommunication due to radio failure. Tommy spots Mike and asks why he's trying to kill Tommy. Mike apologizes and says he thought he got the go-ahead. Tommy gets over it and throws his arm around Mike for a newspaper photographer. Garrity tries to worm into the picture and Tommy elbows him out. Heh.

The guys arrive back at the firehouse. Garrity asks if their picture will be in the paper tomorrow. Lou congratulates Tommy and welcomes him back to the house. Grinch shows up and tells Tommy that if he makes one mistake, he's back out in the boroughs. Then he orders Lou and Chief up to his office. Everyone looks at Laura and walks away, except Tommy, who missed the whole incident. He asks Laura what's going on, and Laura says that she forgot to back Lou up in a fire last week and he called her a name, and then wouldn't apologize. Laura says that she had to report Lou, because if she doesn't do something, she's "letting down every little girl who comes in here after [her]." Tommy asks if Lou called Laura "the B word," and Laura says no and makes a face like, "It's so much worse than that." Tommy incredulously asks, "He called you the C word?" Laura, offended, says no. Tommy figures it out: "He called you a twat." Laura walks away, and Tommy follows her, singing, "He called you a twaaaaaaaaaaaaat!"

Grinch clarifies the issue: Lou doesn't deny that he called Laura a twat, but that's all he said, and he only said it once. Grinch points out that it's Lou's word against Laura's, so Lou could deny it and the other guys would freeze her out, and Laura would transfer out in three weeks. Lou doesn't respond, so Grinch says that Lou can either take a suspension without pay, or go through sensitivity training.

The rest of the guys try to explain to Laura why what Lou did wasn't a big deal. Garrity says that they call each other names all the time, and it's like...he struggles for the word, and Mike supplies, "Name-calling?" Heh. Tommy says that it's about camaraderie. Franco says it's part of being on a team. Laura says that she never calls her girlfriends names ["bitch, please" -- Wing Chun], and that she's been part of a lot of sports teams. She adds that every woman she knows finds the word "twat" offensive, although it's "not as offensive as the other word." Tommy says that Laura works in a job with men, and that she chose to work there, so she needs to deal with it. Mike says that he thought women mostly hated "the C word," and Garrity adds that he thought they invented "twat" so that they could avoid "the C word." Laura says that men probably invented both words, which is probably true.

Tommy asks if maybe they should come up with a brand-new word that's a combination of the two. I think these guys are missing the point. If they really want Laura to feel like one of the guys, they should call her the same names they would call a guy: Prick. Asshole. Douchebag. Whatever. Because calling her a twat or a bitch or a cunt just serves to reinforce what I'm sure Laura is all too aware of every moment on the job -- that she's a woman, and therefore different, and in the eyes of most of the guys, inferior. I wish someone would point that out. Garrity thinks the new word should be "cwat," and Tommy thinks it should be "twunt." ["That one's hardly new." -- Wing Chun] Mike laughs. Garrity still likes "cwat," but thinks they should ask Laura what she thinks. Laura says, "I actually find 'cwat' more offensive than 'twat,' monkey boy." Garrity is puzzled that she called him monkey boy.

Lou has decided to go through sensitivity training. Chief thinks it's just going to open up "a whole new can of worms," but Lou points out that "worms have rights too." I totally didn't get this on first viewing, but someone on the forums pointed out that Lou probably chose that option because, while he wants Laura to learn a lesson, he doesn't hate her. That's why he didn't accept the option Grinch held up.

The guys are still trying to convince Laura that they all get called names, and that it's no big deal. Franco says that Tommy calls him a spic, and he calls Tommy a mick. And Garrity calls Mike "a stupidguinea." Mike is offended, but only because of the "stupid" part. Franco's point is that they all use ethnic and personal slurs. The guys then go on to list all the insults they can think of, which I will list here for your edification: "Cockbreath. Shithead. Asswipe. Numbnuts. Ballface. Shit-for-brains. Dipshit. Pussy. Prick. Dick. Scumbag. Dickface. Ape-ass. Apeface. Pencildick. Tightass. Needledick." Franco says they're not even getting into "any of the gay stuff," and Laura chuckles and says that's debatable. Tommy says that none of them is emotionally affected by the words, but Garrity is still puzzling over the monkey thing.

Tommy concludes, "When I run into a burning building, I don't go in with a Bible in my back pocket or God at my side. I run in with a couple of pieces of steel in my hand, and you guys. All you guys. And if we're lucky enough to make it back here alive, part of the job is sitting down and owning up to the mistakes you made. Like the probie today. He screwed up and he owned up. That's the deal. You can't legislate courage. You can't run down to headquarters and buy yourself a big bag full of balls. There's no judge on earth who could order you to give enough of a shit about other people that you go running into eight floors full of flame. It takes guts. You let Lou down. He called you a twat. Get over it. The real issue here is time we're in a fire, are you gonna be where you're supposed to be, watching somebody else's back? Okay? Twat, cwat, bitch, or twunt. Do your job the right way, and people call you names you want to hear." Tommy walks out, and the other guys follow him one by one. Garrity hangs back to ask about the monkey thing, and Laura tells him that his new haircut makes him look like an ugly monkey. Garrity itches his nose and walks out, leaving Laura alone to contemplate Tommy's speech. And I think he has a point, and I also think Laura has a point, which is what makes this show interesting.

Franco pops some pain pills in the locker room. Tommy walks in and asks what they are. Franco says they're for his shoulder. Tommy is surprised that Franco is still getting prescriptions, and Franco says he has a source, just until he can get his strength back to where it used to be. Franco makes a big show of struggling to put his jacket on. Tommy says that sometimes you don't realize when you get dependent, but Franco says he's fine. Tommy offers to help Franco out if he ever has a problem. Franco starts to walk away, and Tommy asks if Franco's source can get Viagra. Tommy says they're for his father, not for him, and Franco promises to look into it. Franco leaves, and Tommy pops open Franco's locker, grabs some Vicodin, and downs them. He retches a few times, because the pills are so big, but eventually gets them down. He grabs the pill bottle and stuffs it in his pants, telling himself that it's for Franco's own good.

Garrity stands outside his SUV and makes monkey faces at himself in his reflection in the window. He really does look like a monkey. Poor Garrity. Mike comments that he looks like a spider monkey. They're out in the middle of nowhere, preparing to shoot Mike's gun. Garrity gets pissed off and starts shooting bottles set up on a nearby fence, cursing out his barber. He breaks every bottle he shoots for, and Mike says that he has "Steven Seagal mojo." Garrity says it's wrong that Mike's shooting out of anger, because it's dangerous, and also because it's making Mike think of "quite possibly the worst action hero of all time." Garrity instructs Mike to shoot at the last bottle standing. I'm really nervous about these two shooting guns. Mike takes a shot, misses the bottle, but hits a cat.

Cut to Garrity and Mike entering a vet clinic. Mike's carrying the cat, and says that he thinks it's still breathing. Garrity responds, "That's the sound of the wind whistling through the gaping hole you just blew in its midsection." Garrity says it's a sign of how dangerous guns are, and tells Mike to imagine if the cat were Theresa. He realizes that "one bullet would have just made her angry." Mike walks up to the counter and says it's an emergency. The receptionist passes it off to Dr. Collins, a statuesque blonde, who asks who shot it. Garrity says Mike did. Dr. Collins asks how it happened, and Garrity says they were hunting. Dr. Collins asks, "For cats?" Garrity mumbles something and Dr. Collins cuts him off and tells them to follow her into the back. Both guys follow her, but she stops and tells Garrity she didn't mean him. Mike grins at Garrity as he follows the doctor back.

Franco lies in the bed of that nurse he talked to in the premiere. She comes in and hands him some pills, and then says that she can't get the Viagra for a few days. Now that he has his pills, Franco gets out of bed and starts getting dressed. The nurse looks disappointed, and says that the only time she sees Franco is when he needs his stash, which is every Thursday. She wants to know why they can't go out sometime. Franco says they can. The nurse wants to go out tomorrow. She keeps suggesting days until it becomes apparent that Franco can only meet with her on Thursdays. He agrees to dinner and a movie, and the nurse is placated. Franco kisses her and reminds her not to forget his pills.

Garrity waits in the clinic lobby. Some guy sets down a cage containing a monkey to him. Garrity gazes at the monkey, who stares back at him. Heh.

Dr. Collins walks into the exam room and says that Mike is all set. Mike asks if the cat is going to be all right, despite the fact that it's clearly dead. Dr. Collins says that the cat was "a paperweight with fur about two seconds after the bullet hit." She hands Mike her phone numbers and says she likes men who are smaller than she is, and she also likes that he's a firefighter. She grabs Mike, lifts him up to her level, and kisses him. He grins. She tells him to leave first, and Mike leaves giddily.

Tommy arrives home and finds a giant cross lying in his bed. Bloody footprints lead out to his kitchen table, where Jesus is sitting. Jesus asks for a sandwich. Tommy chuckles and says that's what his mother said he would say. Jesus asks if his "mother" had reddish hair and was drinking scotch on the rocks. Tommy confirms it. Jesus says that was his girlfriend. Tommy looks confused, and Jesus says it was Mary Magdalene. He adds that she loves him but hates him because he was never home, was always out with the guys, never took her anywhere, etc. He asks if Tommy's going to make him a sandwich or what. Tommy leans into the fridge, but when he stands up, Jesus is gone. Tommy grabs his keys and walks out of the apartment.

Tommy finds a corner liquor store and stands outside, contemplating. He walks in, and thus begins a montage. Tommy buys two bottles of liquor and drinks one very quickly in his apartment. He pops some pills, and then watches his old favorite family video. He gets into an argument with Jesus and throws the liquor bottle at the door. He calls Sheila, and then meets her at a bar where they both do shots. On first viewing, I was wondering how drunk Tommy was, that he wasn't concerned that Sheila was doing shots while pregnant. Tommy and Sheila end up having sex in the bar bathroom. Tommy has an argument with Jimmy outside the bar. Flash back to Tommy standing outside the liquor store. He walks by without going inside: the whole montage was just him imagining what would happen if he did go in.

In the firehouse, Tommy examines a newspaper story about his daring rescue, and comments that finally there's some good press for the FDNY. Lou says that some priest stopped by to see Tommy after seeing Tommy's picture in the paper. His name is Father Murphy, and he's from the Bronx. Tommy doesn't know him, and asks what he looked like. Mike says he looked like Willem Dafoe, "the bad guy from the Spider-Man movie." Also known as Jesus in The Last Temptation of Christ. Lou says that the priest looked like Tommy. Tommy asks if they think he looks like Willem Dafoe. Mike thinks he looks like Kevin Bacon, but Tommy thinks Kevin Bacon has a pig nose. Franco leans into the room and calls everyone into the garage.

As the guys (and Laura) walk out, Tommy is still complaining that Mike thinks he looks like Kevin Bacon. Franco thinks Tommy looks like Wayne Gretzky. Garrity walks in and Tommy asks if he looks like Kevin Bacon or Wayne Gretzky. Garrity thinks Tommy looks like Conan O'Brien. Garrity opens his locker, and a ton of bananas fall out -- obviously the reason why everyone came out to say hello to Garrity in the first place. Garrity laughs and starts tossing bananas around. Lou leans over to Laura, who is laughing, and says, "See? It's all about busting balls." As the guys goof around, Franco looks at Laura meaningfully. Lou stops when he spots Colleen standing in the doorway. He tells Tommy she's there, and Colleen waves to her father.
