Young Men And Fire

What a romantic guy Jimmy is. Well, if you call fact that he has yet to be faithful to any woman at any time romantic.

So it is finally here -- the last episode of the season. It couldn't have come sooner. Speaking of coming, the show starts off with Kim putting on her underwear while Jimmy is lying naked in her bed. She tells him that Joey will be up soon and she doesn't want Joey to see him. Jimmy pulls her onto the bed and they start getting it on, again, and then Jimmy suggests that they both call in sick and stay in bed for the rest of the day. I guess if he stays in Kim's bed and Joey doesn't come into her bedroom, he will never know that Jimmy spent the night. Kim asks Jimmy when Brooke gets off work, and then tells him that he should be home when Brooke gets home and calls him. Jimmy sort of has this "D'oh! That's right! I'm engaged to another woman!" look on his face, and then he tells Kim he loves her. What a romantic guy. Well, if you call fact that he has yet to be faithful to any woman at any time romantic.

Doc is packing up his stuff in his apartment, and Morales is helping him. They talk about keeping Doc's grandmother's old china and other assorted old stuff, and then Morales asks Doc what he is going to do about the wall of framed pictures of his dead wife. He tells her he isn't sure, and then she asks him how they met. He reminisces about Deborah for a bit, and then Morales tells him to pick out one or two pictures and they can find a place in the new apartment and put the rest in an album. Doc can't believe how understanding Morales is, and she tells him that the pictures can go anywhere but their bedroom. Morales is such a perfect girlfriend, it's almost like she is a Stepford Girlfriend. I wonder what kind of relationship secrets she is hiding.

Doc magically transports himself into the ambulance with Carlos, and they are talking about Doc living in his parents' home. Carlos tells him that if he repaints the walls the place will look totally new. Then he tells Doc about the time that he found a cheap apartment to live in which was cheap because there had been a murder there and no one wanted to live in it because it had bloodstains all over the place, and he just spackled and repainted the walls and steam-cleaned the carpets and it was as good as new. Doc kind of gives him a disgusted look, and then they get a call to a fire. Carlos totally looks like someone who would look at the obituaries and find out who died, and then try to get that person's apartment. Never mind how they died, as long as they left a place to stay in a decent neighborhood.

As we go back in time, Yokas is in her bathroom and is taking a pregnancy test. Well, I guess Fred sobered up enough to get it back up. It must have been those sassy leather pants that Skanky Nicole gave Yokas. The test comes out positive, and all Yokas has to say is, "Holy Mary Mother of God."

Credits, and I smile when I realize that it will be a long time before I have to see them again.



Okay, honestly, how was a one-armed man able to use an extinguisher? And how 'handy' can a one-armed handyman be? How much maintenance can be done with one hand?

Wal Mart wants you to know that you can buy your teenage girls all sorts of cute summer outfits.

I guess Jimmy decided to come into work, because he and the rest of the NYFD arrive at the fire. A woman tells the fire chief that the fire is in apartment 18D and there is an invalid man living there. Doc and Carlos go up the eighteen flights of stairs and they find a maintenance man with only one arm standing by the stairway entrance. He tells them that he tried to put out the fire with an extinguisher, but the extinguisher ran out. Okay, honestly, how was a one-armed man able to use an extinguisher? And how "handy" can a one-armed handyman be? How much maintenance can be done with one hand? Maybe it was one of those low-maintenance buildings. So anyway, the low-maintenance man tells them that the man who lives in the burning apartment suffered a stroke and can't move, and his wife won't leave his side. Doc and Carlos go in to the apartment, and there is fire burning all over the living room, and they run to the bedroom and find the man in his bed and his wife standing to him holding his hand. Carlos tries to get the wife to leave, but she won't budge. Finally, Carlos and Doc pull her away from her husband and out of the apartment and give her to the low-maintenance man, and they tell him to get her out of the building. They go back into the bedroom to get the husband and they lift him out of his bed. They go back into the living room but now the fire has spread and they can't get to the door. They go back into the bedroom and close the door and put a towel under the door, and then Doc radios for help.

Bobby and Kim are wheeling a Hispanic woman down a few flights of stairs, and the woman is yelling in Spanish, and Bobby yells back at her in Spanish. Of course, the closed captioning says "speaking in Spanish" so I can't really tell what they are talking about, but I swear Bobby said something about hemorrhoids. Anyway, Kim is having a hard time getting the woman down the stairs, and she says, "Wow, this woman's had a few too many chalupas!" and Bobby is totally not amused at her statement and is all, "If she were black, you wouldn't say she's eaten too much fried chicken." No, Bosco would say that, or worse. Kim admits that she is a bad person, and then tells him about her and Jimmy. Bobby starts yelling at Kim about the whole deal, and the Hispanic woman starts yelling again. Bobby tells her in Spanish to be quiet, and then does his Spanish version of Dr. Evil's "Zip it!" After the Hispanic woman zips it, Kim starts talking about herself some more and is all, "I don't know what my problem is. I have no will power when it comes to him. I'm such a slut!" She then notices that Bobby is not telling her that she is not a slut. At least she now knows what we have all known for some time.

Jimmy and Company go climbing up the stairs, put their masks on, and go onto the eighteenth floor. They try to use their hose to put out the fire, but they lose water pressure, so Jimmy decides to be a hero again and climb up to the roof for a rope rescue.
