    No major stuff to come back to just yet with this premier episode. The Gavin family come together to mourn the loss of Tommy's dad, although not everyone is remembering him in a great light. Tommy's cousin and sponsor falls off the wagon and this time Tommy comes to his rescue. All the women in Tommy's life are going through some changes. Janet is now dating an "extreme sports" fella, played by Michael J. Fox. Tommy meets him in this episode and they clash of course. I think their scenes are gonna be great throughout the season! He kind of gives Tommy a bit of run for his money, although I'm sure Tommy will return the favor. Sheila is trying a new role playing therapy to get over Tommy. I'm sure that will continue to be interesting as it unfolds. Colleen, Tommy's oldest daughter is now dating black Sean. Of course Tommy doesn't know yet, but Sean thinks it would be respectful to tell him the truth because he feels serious enough about her. She knows her dad a little better and basically asks him "how would you like to be buried" The fire house guys were my favorite scenes for this episode! While attending the first fire of the night, they end up stuck in a room with fireworks going off everywhere and end up using them to get each other throughout the episode. Mike, Sean and Franco discuss buying a bar with Mike's inheritance from his mothers death last season. The chief starts to give Tommy a break until it appears it's all an act until Tommy's Section 8 trial comes to a close.

    Overall, everything was calm, but hilarious. There were some moving scenes as well! The ending fire scene was pretty emotional with barely any talking. Just music and the guy they can't save. I think it's all a great set up for things to come this season!moreless

    • Sean: Hey, Tom? Did you hear? Tommy: What? Sean: Mike, Franco and I, we're buyin' a bar. Franco: Uh, correction. Mike bought the bar, and I'm watching Garrity screw it up. Mike: It's gonna be awesome. And if you have any suggestions Tom, we're totally open. Tommy: Uh, cool. Yeah, I got a couple. Build it on the edge of a cliff, go inside and start fixing it up and then pay somebody to come along and just push it over the side. It'll save you a lot of time and money. Mike: Yeah, well, that's actually not gonna work 'cause we're opening it in the city. Edit
    • Black Shawn: You and Tommy are tight, right? Kenny: Well, if you mean, we're close, then yeah. In terms of actual tightness, I can only speak for myself. Black Shawn: So if Tommy were to find out that one of the guy's on the crew was doin' somethin' behind his back that he might not be-- Kenny: Oh my God, you're sleepig with Colleen. Black Shawn: How'd you know? Kenny: I'm right? Black Shawn: So is that bad? Kenny: It-- It could only be worse if you were banging Katy. Tell me you're not banging Katy. Black Shawn: Of course not. I'm not banging either one of them. Kenny: Wait a minute, you just said you were sleeping with Colleen. Black Shawn: I am. Kenny: So? Black Shawn: See, we're sleeping together but we're not like, y'know-- (makes a motion with his hand) Kenny: So you're not-- (makes a noise) Black Shawn: No, no, no. And if we ever do, I pray it won't look or sound anything like that. Kenny: So, what's the deal? Tommy's gonna kill you anyway, for just seeing her, you might as well get a little piece before you go. Black Shawn: Those days for me are over. Kenny: What getting laid days? Black Shawn: Listen, Lou, there's somethin' that you need to know about your man, Shawn, I've tapped plenty of asses in my day, good ass, and usually pretty quick. The quicker I tap it, the quicker I'm out the door. I'm looking for a real relationship here. You know, I want the sex to have value. Kenny: Well, your life's on the line, that's valuable. Black Shawn: Come on, you mean to tell me that you've never had a relationship where you waited to have sex? Kenny: Not on purpose. Black Shawn: Well, this is on purpose. The next ass I tap, is the ass I marry. Kenny: Oh, yeah, that's sweet. I'd like to see that on a sampler. But I would leave Tommy out of it, it's gonna be really hard to tap that ass from beyond the grave. Edit
    • Tommy (on the phone): I can't talk right now. Sheila: Wait, wait, I need to see you. Tommy: No. Sheila: It's an emergency. Tommy: Are you on fire? Sheila: No. Tommy: Well, I know you're not choking to death, because you're talking to me on the phone, although, I suppose, anything's possible. Are you being held hostage? ... Hello? Sheila: Somebody called me from your headquarter's about your section 5 thingy. Tommy: 8. Sheila: 5, 8, big diff. Edit
