Man, I can’t believe next week is the season finale already. It seems like we just got into the groove of this season.
The episode picks up at the family dinner and an uncomfortable Tommy wondering if Mickey has told or will tell Janet about is ‘almost’ indiscretion with Sheila. It was a hysterical seen watching a very Tommy squirm so much that he begins to choke on his food. Sheila of course appears and the truth comes out…the whole truth that nothing really happened and that Tommy really loves Janet. It seems like Tommy and Janet are really going to give it a go. Tommy even passes a liquor temptation test that Janet gives him when she asks him to choose between one last drink of whiskey or vodka and he pours both down the kitchen sink. It’s nice to see although I personally prefer to see Sheila and Tommy together. Those two really put the fun in dysfunctional
Tommy promises to stay away from Sheila and Damian but of course it’s a promise he can’t keep. When he was strongly declaring his love for Janet he went a little overboard denouncing his feelings for Sheila and It seems that he had some guilty feelings for saying he never loved her. So after the dust has settled at home with Janet he gives Sheila a call and she is genuinely hurt and asks him to leave her and her son alone.
Lou gets some really bad news from his physician. He had a minor heart attack and is told that he has to quit work. Of course Lou refuses to accept this and returns to work and when the house is called to a fire at a coffin factory Lou is unable to perform and can’t leave the building on his own. As the guys rush to his aid Damian falls victim to the building giving way and we are left not knowing if he makes it or not. The irony of this is heavy as earlier in the episode Damian quits after having a conversation with Mickey and then has a talk with Tommy and changes his mind.
If Damian does not make it will this push Tommy and Sheila back together, as grief is what united them in the first place? Is this really the end for Lou…I can’t even imagine that firehouse without him.
