Rescue Me Recap

Did you miss last night’s Rescue Me? I personally can’t wait to go home at lunch to watch it. As always, the fabulous Julie has recapped last night’s episode for anyone who might have missed it.

Rescue Me – “Torture”
June 13, 2006

The episode may be called Torture, but watching this show is anything but that.

Lou’s sick in the bathroom when the Chief interrupts him, asking if he can borrow that couple hundred bucks he asked about. Lou says he doesn’t have it, and gets downright belligerent when pressed. He storms out.

Tommy sneaks a cigarette outside when Sean comes up. Tommy starts asking him when they’re going to meet his girlfriend. Sean waffles, changing the subject to the previous night’s fight. “That was some brouhaha. I mean not ‘ha-ha, funny’ just sort-of-actually it wasn’t funny at all, it was just sickening, kind of.” Tommy explains how kicking ass is how the Irish resolve things. Sean continues squirming as he exits.

Franco wakes up at Mrs. Sarandon’s. Give us her name, people! When Franco says he has to get home to his daughter, she’s not freaked out at all. She actually wants to meet Keela.

Chief does laundry with the adulterous former surgeon Ellis Grey (wait…that’s another show…here she’s Rose). They discuss how he’s planning to ask his wife’s estranged brother for money to help out with the expenses.

Rescue Me Recap

Last time on Rescue Me: Tommy’s godson, Damian, is banging his science teacher, Miss Turbidy. Chief put his wife in a home. Sean’s dating Tommy’s sister. Janet kicked Tommy in the balls twice: by telling him she was glad Connor died, so he couldn’t turn out like Tommy, and by sleeping with his brother Johnny. Bitch. Lou gave away his money to a con woman. Bitch. How much am I loving this show’s depiction of women? Well, men too.

———————————————————————————–

Sheila’s taking care of Tommy’s dad. He insists his birthday party will go well. She’s wondering whether Tommy asking her to help with his dad is “a thing”, when Tommy interrupts them. She sort of cutely flutters about saying she bought him a travel mug, which doesn’t quite impress him since he thinks it’s kinda gay. When his dad says he’s inviting Janet to the party, Tommy tells him that’s fine, she’s family, but she better not bring her boyfriend or “I’m going to stick this Brokeback coffee travel thing right up his goddamn ass.”

As Tommy goes to leave without the mug, Sheila stops him to tell him she won’t be able to stop by for his dad later since she’s got a parent teacher conference…with Mrs. Turbidy. Based on Tommy’s reaction, she can tell he’s met her and thinks she’s hot. “I know all your grunts, and your tics, and your tells…I can read you like a goddamn dog-eared book.” He leaves in a bit of a huff, but he gets the last word: Sheila gets to give his dad an enema. Sheila and I both hope he’s kidding.

On his way to work, Tommy sees Lou walking along, smoking a cigar. Lou spots him and spits it out…and he’s 50 bucks down. Credits.
