The best episode in a long time. Every star of the show (save Mike "Mike" Lombardi) gets significant screen time--hilarious, dramatic or both. Even Natalie "Colleen" Distler and Lenny "Uncle Teddy" Clarke get to share in the comedy.moreless

"Perfect"

By SoulOfWit, Jun 20, 2010

*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***

Even for a show filled with dream sequences, I never expected a full-on production number--starring Sean, no less. Plus, Sean gets to have a little fantasy revenge on his grating brother.

A taste of everything that is great about Rescue Me. Teddy gets a hilarious drunken monologue. Black Shawn is confronted by Tommy about daughter Colleen--with a fire hose! A little light farce when Tommy is seduced by Janet in the car and, again, when he shows up for his booty call with Sheila. Needles redeems himself a little more as he learns about Sean's illness. Tommy gets to give the ultimate anti-AA speech. Cuz Mickey pulls a nice switcheroo with the DVD. That's a fine twist in the alcohol story line.

The closing scene is a nice setup for future episodes as Kenny pulls the brunette, she-devil Candy's phone number out of the trash bin. Yep, saw that one coming.moreless
