Taking Connor along, Tommy does his best to dissuade Damien. But when he can't bring himself to talk him out of it, Tommy gives Damien his late father's badge and offers to explain everything to his mom. Yet, listening from outside the door, Connor overhears Tommy and Damien talking about his affair with Sheila. Meanwhile, after he and Laura agree to take a break from each other, Franco warns Tommy to steer clear. And when Laura starts dating another firefighter, Sean urges Franco to get even by dating a porn star. After hiring his new neighbor, Rose, to help care for his ailing wife, Jerry is embarrassed over an incident when she brings Jeannie to the firehouse. And after being invited up to her apartment, Lou is disappointed when a call from a client forces Candy to cut their evening short. Meanwhile, after Laura accuses him of being interested in her, Tommy denies it as he gives her advice on how to deal with Franco. And upon returning from Atlantic City to find that his wealthy wife has died, Tommy's dad realizes that he's now rich. Following a romantic dinner with Janet, Tommy is preparing for bed when Mike calls to tell him that the hockey team has decided he isn't aggressive enough to be their coach any more. So, concluding that it is the only way to regain his credibility, Tommy stops taking Janet's anti-depressants, a decision that gives him back his edge, but confuses his family. Finally, when pressed, Candy tells Lou that her pimp has agreed to let her quit, for $30,000. And as Franco's efforts to make Laura jealous backfire, Tommy resorts to violence on the ice in order to prove that he is still capable of being the hockey team's coach.
