The only thing I can figure is they are trying (unsuccessfully IMHO) to show that Tommy is afraid he's lost his manhood to being saved by a woman and being told he couldn't get it up with Janet.
Tommy had always been an asshole but for the first time I don't like him. His character is too extreme. I think how Tommy dealt with the dying mother issue was a bit out of character as well.
I am also not liking how they wrapped up the fire investigation (which was stupid and unrealistic in its own right). If you are going to make it such an important plot point don’t bring it to a conclusion with, “Oh, a few key strokes and you’re OK.”
One of my favorite shows ever, but I am really disappointed lately.
