This is the kind of episode that you could hand to someone who's never seen 'Rescue Me,' and say that it captures everything that makes the show great in one installment. The humor was laugh-out-loud funny at places; the drama was heartfelt and uncomfortably real at others. And the entire ensemble was on top of their game.
If you have any friends that haven’t yet experienced the hilarity of Rescue Me, don’t delete this episode off of your DVR. This episode really showcased the each character well and it was really fun to watch.
It was nice to see Tommy and Janet waking up together after such an intimate night. Tommy in the kitchen making what was supposed to be breakfast and Janet smiling! They both really want to give the marriage another go but Janet tells Tommy that for the sake of their kids this really has to be the last time. Janet only asks that they really try this time with no distractions…, which means no Sheila. He can contact Sheila one last time to say goodbye but that’s it. Tommy is on board.
With the fate of the recently closed firehouse in limbo, Sid and Needles go to HQ where Needles, alone, saves the Firehouse. Sid’s old school approach wasn’t working. Needles, however, had the footage that was collected from the guys rescuing the deaf kids before NYPD could show up and he had it wrapped up in a pretty little blackmail bow. Within 24 hours we have our Firehouse back!
I’m happy to see that all is back to normal between Black Sean and Franco. Damian comes receives advice from to the two Casanova’s on how to seal the deal with his girlfriend. The advice works and we learn, after the deal was sealed a little to quickly, that Damian ‘was’ a virgin.
I’m really concerned for Lou’s health. We had another glimpse at how unhealthy Lou really is on the big Firehouse call this week. Where an older woman had to practically carry him out. I hope this isn’t a foreshadowing of Lou’s fate on the show, as I can’t really picture the Firehouse or Tommy without him.
Well Tommy popped by Sheila’s to tell her that he and Janet are working on mending their marriage and to say goodbye. She tells Tommy there’s no love lost and ends with the sex wasn’t that great anyway. Typical Tommy ends up being suckered into this with Sheila and they end up hot and heavy on the couch at the very moment Mickey shows up. Man, these Gavin men have a talent for showing up at the right moment to ‘walk in’ on something almost happening. Mickey pulls a Tommy, and storms off and they attempt to run after him but they are tangled up literally in each other’s clothes. Terrified that Mickey is going to tell Janet about this Tommy begins to call Mickey repeatedly and rushes home to Janet. When he gets there all appears calm on the home front until he realizes he’s home just in time for a family dinner with Janet, Colleen, Katie……and Mickey.
