Complete Recap and Spoilers of Rescue Me05x08 – Iceman

The guys close up in the bar. Mike counts the money on top of the bar. A strung out-looking dude wanders in the open door and Franco shoos him away. They wonder where Black Shawn has gotten off to. Tommy says he hopes he’s not disappearing because he knows about him and Colleen. The guys all freeze waiting to hear what he thinks he knows. He’s pleased that his daughter is lousy in the sack. They go along with it.

Mike counts up $8,000 in cash and thinks they should give some of it to a cancer charity. Sean thinks that’s a good idea and volunteers to take it in. The guys except Tommy and Sean prepare to go to the strip club. Tommy says he’ll deal with the money over Sean’s objections. Derek asks Tommy if he wants him to stay so he’s not alone in a room full of booze. Tommy says he’ll be fine and locks the door. Certainly nothing bad can come of this, nothing at all.

He puts the trash bag of cash under the bar, and starts to clean up. Two empty shot glasses happen to sit on a nearby tray. A bottle of vodka happens to be nearby as well. The two find each other. Tommy downs them both. Down go the lights. And there’s Tommy’s dead dad, at the end of the bar, telling him he loves him.

And now Tommy knows he’s hallucinating because dad’s complimenting his baseball and fire fighting abilities. He asks if Tommy’s happy now. Then he says he’s got some land down in Florida he wants to sell him. Then Johnny, Tommy’s brother who is also dead, joins the party. They both order. Booze for ghosts. They talk about Tommy. And cousin Jimmy (also dead) joins in, ragging on Tommy, wanting to know why he didn’t go in the second tower.

They accuse him of being afraid. Johnny calls him a coward as he flicks his lighter. Tommy spills booze on him. Ghost Johnny goes up in flames until Tommy douses him with an extinguisher. “I wish you boys could learn to get along,” is all dead dad has to say about the immolation.

Johnny sits back down at the bar, charred.

The first couple saves on 9/11 went fine, Tommy says. But after, in all the debris and noise, their training didn’t cover it. Their dad never prepared them for what to do after, Tommy yells. Look at Teddy after Vietnam, he drank, fought and cheated on his wife. I’m no coward, Tommy shouts.

He knows what to do if a building blows up, but not about kids and marriage. Here he is, After. He pours another drink. His hand shakes. He takes a deep breath.

Then all of a sudden, the scuzzy guy from earlier conks him on the back of the head with a gun. He wants the bag of cash. He doesn’t believe when Tommy says it’s gone, or that they have security cameras (which they don’t). He takes out the bag as the guy explains that reporting a robbery of undeclared income would be insane. Tommy counts out the money for him, and then picks up a nearby bottle and breaks it over the robber’s head. The gun goes flying, but he gets it back and shoots Tommy in the arm.

Tommy hides behind the bar, telling him to just take the money and run. The guy creeps along the other side of the bar, shooting through the wood, toying with him. He asks if Tommy wants to be a hero he prepares to fire again. And then a giant shotgun blasts blows him across the room. He’s dead.

The lights go back down again. The robber sits up, calling Tommy dad. Johnny compliments Tommy on killing his own son. The ghosts of dead male relatives past laugh at him for raising a junkie. He blasts each of them. Then he turns around and there’s Lou, hands raised, asking calmly if Tommy wants to talk about anything.

Lou came back because he realized he forgot his wallet. He felt bad for leaving him in a room full of booze. They’re back at Lou’s now. And Lou is telling him they’ll tell the guys he saw huge rats or something as he pours Tommy a giant glass. (Apparently, there’s no need to explain a dead body, which wasn’t there either.)

Tommy thanks him and takes back all the nasty things he said about him and his chances with Genevieve. Lou doesn’t take back anything he said. And, oh, he slept with Frenchie.

He has the note to prove it. He lets Tommy read it.

At the firehouse, Needles and Lou see Franco working the heavy bag. Needles proposes making some extra cash by putting him in a tournament and betting on him.

At the veteran’s hospital, another elderly vet asks Teddy to kill him.

Damian hangs out with Mike as he plays guitar. Mike lets slip that he’s taking vocal lessons. Damian asks him to sing for him. He does, a song of his own composition. He’s got a good voice. And it turns out Damian can play. He wants in Mike’s band until he learns the name is “Hot Lunch.” Damian fills him in on what exactly that particular sexual euphemism means (No. 2 is involved.)

Sean walks in, looking near death. He stumbles to the bathroom and they heard a crash. They find him passed out on the floor, having just peed blood. They call an ambulance.

Lou and Needles check out Franco pumping iron at the firehouse, prodding each other to suggest their scheme to him. Lou says he used to be a boxing trainer. Tommy mentions the guy Lou trained, “Slow Joel,” the guy with the bashed in face who comes by the firehouse now and then to drool. Franco doesn’t want to risk hurting his pretty face. But he comes around.

In the kitchen, Feinberg and Mike talk to Sheila and Damian about his post probie plans. Tommy throws a wet blanket on the affair and the alarm sounds. Mom says Damian can ride along.

In the truck Mike says Sean’s out with flu. But Franco clears up that you don’t pee blood with flu, you do with something like gonorrhea – which he had one and half times (but the second time doesn’t count because he was just the carrier, he says).

At the scene Damian finds the whole thing awesome. When it’s all settled down he begs Mike to let him go in. He suits up and Mike leads him through. It was arson. Mike finishes telling him about the unstable stairs and dead bodies and Damian admits being scared.

Then they hear voices and Mike sticks him in a room as Lou and Tommy come up. Lou asks Mike to check a nearby ceiling as he takes a moment to remind Tommy again that he “banged Frenchie.” Mike whacks the ceiling and a pocket of flame erupts near where Damian is hiding. Mike tells Tommy they can’t leave, Damian’s in there.

Tommy sends Lou and Mike away, after bashing Mike in the head for being an idiot. A wall of flames separates Tommy from his nephew. He takes a deep breath and charges through.

Complete Recap and Spoilers of Rescue Me 5×06 – Perspective

Tommy and Mickey come out of a meeting. Tommy says the meetings are making him feel like drinking again. Mickey calls Derek over to recognize a major milestone. He gives Tommy his one year chip. Tommy doesn’t want it but takes it reluctantly.

Janet finds Tommy at the firehouse. She’s there to talk about Katie. She’s in a school play and feels bad that she lied to him. He asks her if she ever wishes they could do it all over again and be with somebody else. He pushes her against a fire truck and they fight in their Gavin way, where you can’t tell if they’re going to hit each other or do it. Janet says Katie wanted to go away and she’s happy. It’s a big deal that she wants them at the play.

Needles comes for Tommy and addresses the guys. He shows Franco the picture of him at the 9/11 conspiracy rally from some blog. Franco’s on shaky ground. Tommy reminds Franco that he represents 62 truck where ever he goes. The whole house gets into it and Sean stands up, shouting, telling them that there’s other stuff going on in the world, people are dying every day. He storms off.

Genevieve asks Tommy what she has to do to get him to share his experience of that day. She wants to go to Ground Zero with him. He says he’ll go tomorrow.

Lou tries to reassure Black Shawn that he should be excited that Colleen knows everything she does in bed. Shawn starts listing off ice cream, marshmallows, peanut butter…and Lou gets confused, he doesn’t know if he’s hungry or horny. And then there’s the biting, Shawn says. Shawn says it’s not right when a man in a relationship knows less then his lady. He wants out, but he doesn’t know how to tell Tommy his daughters a slut.

Sean meets with his doctor. Kidney cancers are resistant to chemo and radiation. But they could try immunotherapy, which involves serious drugs with serious side effects. Extreme exhaustion, low blood pressure, heart attack, intestinal bleeding, fever and chills, mental changes… The doctor thinks surgery is the way to go, take the kidney out. Sean asks how much it is. The doctor laughs, saying if he’s not insured through the fire department he’s going to ask him to leave right now. But Sean’s serious. It’s about $12,000.

Tommy comes home to Lou’s to find he’s tidied somewhat. Tommy works up to telling Lou that he’s never pulled anything as low rent as using 9/11 footage to try to bait and hook a chick he hasn’t the slightest shot with. Lou thinks he does because she’s a writer. They start jawing at each other. Tommy tells Lou that Genevieve has hit on him twice. Tommy says never in a million years will she sleep with Lou. Lou says he thought they were friends but he was clearly wrong. He’s just an overweight satellite orbiting in the universe of Gavin, apologizing for him when he acts like a jerk. Lou storms out. Tommy responds by throwing whatever is handy.

On the way back from a call Tommy and Lou swear at each other (one is called Turdmaster General), critiquing their performance on the call and coming up with ever more insulting names. Franco suggests they stop living together.

They get back to the firehouse and a swarm of firefighters from Brooklyn confront Franco over the conspiracy photo. Tommy tells them he happens to agree with them, but there’s no point getting into it. They tell Franco to watch his mouth. They’re turning to walk away when Black Shawn starts threatening to go kung fu on them. The big one cold cocks him and the 62 truck guys are forced to defend him. Needles pulls up and calms things by hosing them with a fire extinguisher. He turns to Franco and tells him this is what happens.

In the kitchen Needles chews everybody out for brawling publicly. He accuses them of having no respect for him. He knows he got bumped up because they lost so many guys on 9/11. But the next time they better listen. On their way out, everybody rags on Franco.

Sean stops Mike on his way out with $24,000 in cash from the bar. Sean offers to hide it for him because Mike should know that one night he’ll be drunk in a bar and tell a chick he has a huge bag of cash and ask if they want to see. Mike, seeing no fault with this logic, gives Sean the bag.

Franco runs into Sheila outside the firehouse. She asks him about the blog. He says he’s done a lot of research. She tells him not to turn her husband’s death into a hobby.

Tommy goes to Ground Zero with Genevieve.

Sean counts cash in the back of the bar. Franco knocks on the door, needing his keys.

Tommy and Genevieve sit in a bar overlooking Ground Zero. He orders a Jameson to not drink. She asks him how many times he’s been visited by his cousin. He tells her about that day in the tower, getting people with Jimmy and then losing track of him. He was OK with thinking he went in the first tower. He thinks it was the single greatest rescue service in the history of the department. But when she came up with proof that Jimmy went into the second tower that made Tommy think he could have gone in to grab him. He has a recurring nightmare about what Jimmy’s last few seconds must have been like.

Genevieve asks what if he never sees Jimmy again. Tommy picks up his Jameson’s and downs it.

He leaves his one year chip in the glass.

Damian whines to Mike about probie school. He needs to bulk up and cut his hair. Mike refuses to serve him.

Sean comes in telling Mike he counted the cash wrong, it wasn’t $24,000 it was $21,000. Sean’s going to get Mike one of the counting things, a “hibiscus.”

Walking from the bar, Genevieve tells Tommy he should talk about his demons because vulnerability is attractive. She says France tried to warn the U.S. because of its experience with Algerians, but they didn’t listen. She wants to do a book about it because of the way the world rallied around the U.S. afterward. But then they took that good will and started two new wars, in the name of what? Tommy says, first of all, he doesn’t know s— about Algerians and second, he wanted revenge. Every war is about revenge, she says. She rolls her eyes at him and goes home. Alone.

Complete Recap and Spoilers of Rescue Me 5×04 – Jimmy

Tommy drops by Lou’s, where Lou has cleaned out the bedroom for him. There are piles of clothes everywhere, one clean and one dirty. Lou takes Tommy’s coffee and tosses it in the “garbage” — the other room. Tommy notices a box of stuff from Genvieve. This leads to Tommy sussing out that Lou is trying to use 9/11 to get laid. Lou says they connected, not knowing that she and Tommy actually did last night.

On a call, Sean asks if anyone’s tried acupuncture. His back is still killing him. They get to the scene and are told there was a big explosion. Someone worries it might be a bomb. Lou knows it’s steam, pouring out from the city’s ancient underground infrastructure. A manhole cover blows behind them, steam shooting out. Then another. The covers go flying. They see a guy stuck in his truck with a giant sinkhole filled with steam-heated water in front of the truck. Lou climbs in to get the driver and the truck tips forward. The crew grabs the driver as the truck tips further into the pit, barely getting them both out in time.

At the station, Lou tells Genevieve he might have some writing for her to look at by tomorrow. He tells her to call him Ken, his actual name. She asks Tommy to watch the footage she gave Lou. He says no. She thinks he’s just mad his girlfriend threw him out. She whispers something in his ear. Lou sees it.

Sheila meets with her dramatherapist, who tells her that she needs to face a few facts, like her anger over Tommy. She’s not angry, not at all, hear that? He says her anger is based on the fact that her husband is gone and she’s transferred all of her feelings on to Tommy. Her frustrations that Jimmy died and left her with a son who now wants to do what killed his dad. He says she’s keeping Tommy around so she can blame him. He tells her to stop blaming him and focus on Damian. Her son is going to be a firefighter regardless of what she says.

Tommy plays the DVD of 9/11 footage. He looks at the smoking towers and puts in another disc. Then another. He rewinds. He sees Jimmy in a crowd of firefighters. He calls cousin Mickey. He’s freaking out because the footage is after the first tower came down and Jimmy died in the first tower. Mickey tells Tommy to go to a meeting ASAP.

At the White bar, Franco, Mike and Sean try to remove the black paint they put everywhere. Mike says that a psychic told him if they fail they dishonor his mother’s memory. Black Shawn says it doesn’t matter what it looks like, as long as people think it’s hot. Go underground. Mike says he’ll need to check with his mom first.

A guy from the New York state liquor board drops by. He tells them their liquor license is invalid. He had an arrangement with the previous owners that involved them giving him money every week and him not reporting them. Mike gets his checkbook.

In the firehouse kitchen, Sean tells Lou about an issue he had that morning. Then Franco and Shawn come in and they have a conversation about how Sean was able to make the most of his on-line porn that morning. Black Shawn suggests that perhaps Sean was using improper technique. “Excuse me but I think I know how to handle myself with care,” Sean says. “Maybe you just don’t find yourself attractive anymore,” Franco suggests.

Sean has a doctor’s appointment later.

Tommy walks in on Mike in the locker room, making some notes for the next time he talks to his mom through the psychic. Mike insists the psychic is a real doctor, of “psychic stuff.” He says she knew things about his house that made him believe her. Tommy thinks he should talk to her. He asks Mike to make an appointment for him.

Janet drops by the firehouse to ask Tommy if he told their daughter to have sex with her boyfriend. He confesses. She loves his “secret evil plan” because it’ll break them up. Tommy says he has nothing against Black Shawn. Janet asks him what about the “other thing.” He thinks she means that he’s black. But no, she means that he’s a firefighter, which means that Colleen will always have to worry about him coming home safe. Janet doesn’t care who Colleen marries, as long as it’s not a fireman. So if he really loves her daughter, he’ll make sure she has sex with her boyfriend.

Genevieve tells Lou she’s at a loss for words after reading his stuff. She’s blown away. It brought tears to her eyes. Tommy joins them. When Lou brags about Genevieve’s raves, Tommy asks how much of the footage he watched. Lou says all of it, lying. He invites Genevieve to the bar opening that night. She leaves.

Lou ask why Tommy was trying to c— block him with Genevieve. Tommy rags on him for lying about watching the footage. Lou stands and starts shouting, asking Tommy if he really thinks he needs to watch footage to remember what it was like that day. He tells Tommy that he wasn’t the only one down there that day, and sometimes he needs to be reminded of it.

Tommy meets with the psychic and starts by telling her he doesn’t believe in what she does. She tells him she didn’t expect so much skepticism from someone who carries the gift. She says it must be a burden for him to carry those spirits for so long, only to have them abandon him. She starts talking about Jimmy and Damian. He thinks she looked him up. He leaves.

He takes a cab to the bar. He gets a call from his sponsee Derek. Apparently Tommy got him a job in the new bar. Tommy watches the TV in the back of the cab and sees the footage of Jimmy on 9/11. At the new bar, Franco’s working the door, where they’ve arranged for a line of men to stand outside as if it’s full. Hot girls walk up and when Franco says he can’t let them in, they flash him. Apparently the underground approach is working.

Mike works the bar inside, telling Lou that the doctor said he might have a slipped disc. He’s still in pain. Cousin Mickey shows up. Derek called him when he couldn’t get ahold of Tommy. Mickey drags him outside. He can’t believe Tommy got Derek a job as a bar back. Derek calls from inside, calling Tommy “pally” again. Tommy fires him. Tommy tells Mickey he’s seeing someone for the Jimmy issue. A psychic. Mickey thinks they should go to a meeting. Tommy goes back inside the bar instead.

Inside, Mike tells Tommy that Derek was a good worker. Tommy rehires him.

Mike and Tommy talk about the psychic. He says she was eager to meet him. Mike told her a lot about him, including about Jimmy.

Tommy storms into the doctor’s office, interrupting her session. He accuses her of making money off people suffering from loss and grief and throwing it back in their faces. He calls her a carnie. He’s about to leave. She tells him the footage doesn’t lie. “He” wants Tommy to know the truth about what happened to him that day.

A montage to music: Tommy goes back to Lou’s and sits in the dark. Sheila cleans out all the pictures of Tommy from her apartment. The bar is packed, a line of hot girls waits to get in. Sheila rips up Tommy pictures. Lou whispers sweet nothings in Genevieve’s ear. Colleen and Black Shawn make out in the store room. Tommy rewatches the footage of Jimmy on 9/11. Sheila lights all of the pictures of Tommy and watches them burn. Tommy pauses the footage. Jimmy stares back at him.
