Last week, my mother was in town and watched the episode with me. If you guys thought I was negative towards the show, just you wait until you hear what my mom has to say. So the show starts off with Bosco and Yokas walking down a street, and Bosco is telling Yokas about his mother's fiftieth birthday and that Skanky Nicole wants to go to the party with him, and that he doesn't know whether to introduce Skanky Nicole to his mother while his mother's friends get her drunk and have a stripper. I don't know why Bosco would think Nicole couldn't handle that -- it sounds like what Nicole would do if she went out with her girlfriends. They get a call to direct traffic at a building fire.
Doc and Morales are looking at a very small apartment, and their real-estate agent is giving them the hard sell. They talk about how they couldn't fit all their stuff into it, but it's all they can afford and it has nice views. Anyone else see where this story is going?
Ty and Sully are walking down the street, and Ty is reading email responses to the online singles ad that he placed for Sully. Sully is not interested, and tells Ty that he doesn't want his help finding a girlfriend. Maybe Bosco could help him -- Skanky Nicole must know more women who just want to have sex with a cop and don't really talk much, which would seem like the perfect woman for Sully right now. So Ty reads a letter that he thinks sounds promising. Sully tells Ty that he can have her. ["I think Sully needs to cut down on the saltpeter, seriously." -- Sars]
Fire trucks coming to the scene of the fire, which is at a two-story motel. Bosco and Yokas move people away from the building, and Jimmy and company go inside the motel. The building is filled with smoke, and Jimmy et. al. put on their masks and start feeling for hot doors. Outside, Bosco stops two boys from running into the motel, and they tell Bosco and Yokas that their mother is in the building. We go to credits.
There is a Wal-Mart commercial on, and my mom informs me that since my father has retired, he and his friend Carlos (not dumbass Carlos from Third Watch) are going to work at Wal-Mart as greeters. I can totally see my father as a Wal-Mart greeter. He's very cheesy.
Back outside the burning motel, Bosco tells a firefighter that there is a woman in Room 206, so the guy radios Jimmy to tell him to look for the woman. Bosco then asks the boys if they were there when the fire started, and they tell him that they left when their father came over. Apparently, they don't think much of their father. Inside, Jimmy and company find a man lying down in the hall and they start to pull him out. They get a call from outside telling them that the wind has shifted and to look out for the fire moving. Cue the fire, which starts flying out of rooms and blasting out windows. After the fire dies down a little, the firefighters start battling the flames and searching for the boys' mother.
“ My mother notices that ten minutes into the show, the credits are still rolling. She asks me why it takes so many people to make such a boring show. Then she asks if there is any more champagne in the refrigerator. ”
Ty is on a pay phone calling the woman who sent the promising email, and he tries to imitate Sully's voice. Meanwhile, my mother notices that ten minutes into the show, the credits are still rolling. She asks me why it takes so many people to make such a boring show. Then she asks if there is any more champagne in the refrigerator. Hey, I didn't tell her the best way to watch this show is to get drunk. She figured it out on her own! So Ty leaves a message on this woman's machine to meet Sully for coffee after his shift is over that night. Sully is pissed off, and rightfully so. I think Ty has been watching too much and thinks that if you just make dates for your friends without their permission, everything will work out in the end. Ty needs to work for Mr. Spelling.
Jimmy finds a woman sitting up in a bathtub full of water, and she is still alive but burned badly. Jimmy carries her out. Bobby and Kim start working on the woman as the younger brother yells out for his mother. The older brother yells out that their father did this to their mother, and now he thinks they are going to make him and his little brother go back to their father, so he runs off.
Doc and Carlos talk about Vangie; they are parked outside her apartment and Carlos is waiting for her to come home. When she finally does come back to her apartment, Carlos runs out to see her. At first, Vangie is all happy that Carlos came to see her, and Carlos, the smooth caring man that he is, asks her to consider having an abortion. Vangie gets pissed off at him again, and says, "Hurt me now, miss me later." And then she walks off. Gee, I wonder what she meant by that? This story line is just as predictable as the Doc/Morales apartment hunt. Yawn.
Bobby and Kim have brought the burned woman to the ER and are getting ready to leave, and they tell Morales that they don't think the burned woman will make it. Morales asks Bosco and Yokas what they know about the woman. They tell Morales that they talked to the motel manager, who told them that she'd just moved in and had enough cash for a three-week stay, and that the kids are scared of their father. Morales suggests they get a detective involved because she found aged bruises on the woman and a pattern burn of a watch on her wrist, but she didn't see any watch. Bobby and Kim get a call, and Kim tells Morales that she will check for the watch in her ambulance. They hear the younger brother yelling in one of the examining rooms, and Bosco and Yokas and Morales run in and see him in the corner yelling for his brother. Dana, the nurse who seemed to have disappeared after Bobby slept with her, has reappeared and is in the examining room; she tells Morales that she tried to take off his shirt to examine him and he freaked out. Bosco talks to the kid and tells him he will find his brother and bring him to the hospital, and then he talks the kid into taking off his shirt. I'm sure Bosco has had a lot of experience trying to talk women into taking off their shirts, so I bet it was pretty easy for him to get a little boy to undress. The medical personnel find bruises all over the boy's body and they ask him who did it, and the boy tells them it was his father.
