"And they call me a retard"

Once again the scenes at the firehouse were great, the scenes outside the firehouse not so much

With Adam Ferrera showing up I think that leaves Anthony Clark as Leary's only friend that hasn't shown up on the show yet.

I'm really starting to wonder if Probie's going to snap. Between his own internal confusion, then the crap he gets at the firehouse, and now being pretty much blacklisted for being a "coward" at what most likely is going to be every firehouse in the city, he's not gonna be doing so great.

Really shows how much of a ass Gavin really is, too. After his whole "as long as they do the job" speech at the sensitivity training thing last season he goes and does this to Mike after it was established that he did ok as a firefighter.

Actually, I saw it as Gavin was trying to keep his firehouse together by using the "coward" card to block Probie's transfer to the other firehouse.

Unless my ability to interpret things has completely left me (and I can assure you - it hasn't), then that is the exact same thing I got from the scene.

He began with trying to play the "gay" card, hoping that the chief would simply be uneasy with that. However, after seeing that this would not work, and having such a strong desire to keep his crew intact, he decided to effectively "up the ante" and call Probie a coward.

I also took it tat he was basically just trying to keep probie in the house. Gay didn't work, so he played the coward card.

Funny episode.

Last scene was excellent.

Great episode this week.

Tommy does his work to try to keep probie from leaving. I wonder what he has in store for Lou?

I actually enjoyed the bar scene...from telling the bartender he only has about $2, to his speech, to telling the girl to go blow a drummer and finishing
with his sponser.

As well as the scene with the 1st cab driver arguing about virgins and whores.

just speculating, but when i saw the previews for next week i thought... (spoiler tags so i don't get yelled at, but its just me guessing)

Spoiler:
The preview showed a girl in Tommy's bathroom, and they imply that Lou slept with her that night. Could Tommy have hired her to have him falli n love with her just long enough so he misses his window to say yes? (lou said somethign about having 2 weeks to make a decision)


just my guess

Did you miss the part of the preview that the girl in the bathroom is a nun? Tommy didn't have any idea who she was when he walked in on her in the bathroom

I thought the bar scene was excellent from start to finish as well.

And the back-and-forth w/ the cabbie was classic. Asking why he wouldn't want whores instead of virgins.

The final scene was tough to watch, but one of the best scenes in the show's storied history, imo.
