The writing on this show is so fluid, and funny.
Tommy finally finds out about Sheila's faking the rest of the pregnancy. Will he go after his kids, per Mary Magdalene's suggestion?
Franco is going to lose his vicadin hook-up and Laura, it's inevitable.
"Frank." 'nuff said.
Couldn't imagine coming home to what Jerry came home to, finding his wife in bed with another man because she had no idea she was married due to her condition.
Probie at least has a sex life, Sean is still on the outside looking in, it would seem. Having Franco on the make while Laura was inside the burnt out building, and Sean trying to show off his plummage as well to Heather, the wannabe buddhist.
So many threads in this episode, how do they keep it flowing and cohesive?

The whole sensitivity training thing and the look of sheer and utter horror on the instructors face after the whole racism bit was classic. "That's not fair, white guys get like 4 different racial slurs, we puerto ricans only get 1".

I predict that the nurse will be arrested.
While she's being dragged off in handcuffs, I can see Franco just looking by, then he looks away from her, looks down, then walks away and forgets about her because that's the kind of guy he is.
So we learn that Collen wants to play hardball. I'd love to see how the court battle works out.
And finally, Sheila gets mad at Tommy for using cock pills despite her trying to shove alcohol down his throat while he was trying to stay clean.

That was a riot, as was the video itself.

I think I could have done without the Uncle Teddy blowjob scene.

Would have been great if that was a Diablo (I think it was a Countach).
I loved the rundown of his family by his brother.
Can not wait til next weeks episode.

Another great episode. I agree with just about everything said above. However, the whole "Probie's got a gun" thread led to nothing and that's not a good thing. All the "What are you gonna do with that?" "I don't know." clips in season previews really led us to believe that probie was going to go REAL dark. Nothing happened. That's weak. That's the first sloppy thread this season. They need to watch out for that. Clearly they love to cram TONS of stuff in each episode and I don't mind that it's bursting at the seams, but dropping something like that is bad. Now I'm kind of not interested in probie anymore. His character just sort of turned "bleh." Compared with the deepening of Franco, Jerry, Lou/Ken, and especially Tommy, his story is petering out.

ETA: This is a minor hurdle. Otherwise it's far and away the best show on TV right now.

Loved it. Really its developed into a damn fine show this season. At first I didn't like that the storylines were dragged out, but now I like how it really develops the characters.

Turning Probie's emotional turmoil into a comedy scene with a dead cat and a tall blond vet was a mistake.

I actually like that it really didn't go anywhere. Often time a show becomes predictable when every thread has a satisfactory ending.
