I'm always 1 day behind on my Rescue Me posts. Or any other show that starts past 9:00pm! So you'll have to bear with me. Thank goodness they invented DVR. I know, I'm lame. Only 30 years old and bedtime is 9:30 AT THE LATEST...

Anyway, of course the big moment tonight was Tommy figuring out that Janet was seeing his brother and his subsequent reaction. IMO, it was a bit over-the-top. I understand that this show is the 'Dennis Leary Show' at times, but the beating he administered was a bit much. Don't get me wrong, I love the show, but for some reason I was very uncomfortable with that whole scene. For a minute, once he saw the hand-holding under the table, I thought he may hold off on the beating for that night and plan a more strategic revengeful plot.

Part of me thinks that this will be the main plot for the whole season. Maybe this assault on the brother has ramifications on Tommy such as being suspended from the FD, possibly jailed, back on the drinking, etc.

One would think that Shawn would cut things off with Tommy's sister after seeing that. Although, he is probably foolish enough to continue to try and hide it. It looked like Tommy may have picked something up when Shawn took the cherry out of her drink. Tommy would likely know that she 'doesn't like fruit in her drinks'.

Not sure where the Susan Sorandon (sp?) plot with Franco is going. Even though she is one of my least favorite people it will be interesting to see where it goes...

Things continue to get worse for Lou. Chief is asking him for money that he doesn't have so he attempts to break in to his x-wive's house. Then he tells his buddy that he doesn't understand why he needs to go on. A close eye will need to be kept on him.
