Wow. Talk about your sibling rivalries. The heat on this whole Johnny/Janet secret relationship fiasco has just gotten turned way up now that Tommy knows. And he promptly beat the shit out of Johnny as soon as he found out, pouncing him from across the table and then taking it to the streets where he could smash his little brother’s head through some car window. Of course, this shouldn’t have even taken place. All they had to do was keep it cool around Tommy (that means no holding hands or playing footsie), and he would have never found out, but they simply couldn’t contain themselves. As far as I’m concerned, Johnny had that ass whooping coming, but the fact that Tommy threw Janet into a parked car was the icing on the cake. That woman is a crazy succubus who needs a lesson in treating others properly. I mean, did she really need to reject Sheila’s offer to help her up? She was just trying to be supportive. Bitch.
Meanwhile, Lou is really hurting, and the fact that money seems to be on everyone else’s mind isn’t helping. Jerry is struggling with the hike in his wife’s medical bills, Franco is contemplating taking the Lieutenant’s exam, and Probie is still trying to decide whether or not he should transfer out of Ladder 62. And after seeing Johnny get the shit kicked out of him, Garrity’s gotta be worried that Tommy will eventually find out about him dating his younger sister, Maggie. It probably doesn’t help that Tommy’s a little frustrated, either. When he’s not busy helping his younger daughter “dispose” of all the junk food she ate earlier that day, or paying off his oldest (and supposedly born-again) daughter not to mention anything about it to their mother, the poor guy has to put up with a chatty Cathy who’d he much rather fuck than listen to talk about things like cheerleading and interior decorating. It’s actually pretty amazing that he still hasn’t turned to alcohol for a little support, but it shouldn’t be very long before he does. For now, though, that seems to be Lou’s forte.
Oh, and did I forgot to mention that Susan Sarandon made her first appearance tonight? Yeah, she plays a smoking hot businesswoman who’s going to do just about anything she can to seduce Franco into her bedroom. Is FX actually getting anywhere with these big name guest stars? I sure hope so.
