RESCUE ME Season 7 Preview: ‘Mutha’ Premieres Tonight

The 7th and final season of RESCUE ME bows this evening and, for longtime fans, it does seem like these last batch of episodes will be a fitting swan song.

This first hour finds Tommy helping Sheila care for his brain-damaged Godson, Damien, whose disability he clearly feels responsible for since it happened on the job.

But Damien’s mom Sheila gets support from another unlikely source as well: Janet.

Yes, the fiery blaze between these two women has been extinguished and what’s left seems to be a common understanding and care for each other. I mean, Tommy actually comes home to find Sheila in his and Janet’s kitchen, making a sandwich for Katie and keeping an eye on the baby while Janet is out.

Janet can use the help, because she’s very pregnant at this point — though we as an audience are given the pleasure of seeing when and how her decision to keep this baby was made. Yes, it’s a very Gavin-esque scene to say the least.

But there’s quite a bit more going on as RESCUE ME season 7 debuts…

Black Shawn is thinking about proposing to Colleen — who is working at the bar for fellow alcoholics Mickey and Teddy at the moment (great idea, uh huh, yep) — and goes to Franco for advice.

And who is Tommy going to for advice? Besides Sheila, who’s delivering it unsolicited? Well, the ghosts of Christmas past are still popping up at the most troubling of moments, of course. Yes, we’ll see the familiar faces of cousin Jimmy, brother Johnny and daddy Tommy this evening. They may be gone, but they are never forgotten. Not by Tommy Gavin.

RESCUE ME season 7 premieres Wednesday at 10 p.m. on FX.
