Storyline

Chuck Levine and Larry Valentine are friends and Brooklyn firefighting partners. Widower Larry, who still mourns the death of his wife Paula, is having problems changing the beneficiary on his insurance policy from Paula's name to his children's. He is worried about his children's future if he were to be killed in the line of duty, and is contemplating quitting his job for something less risky, but he also does not want to forfeit his firefighter's pension as he also see it as a safety net for his children. Larry saves Chuck's life on one of their calls. So when Chuck tells Larry that he owes him one, Larry takes him up on his offer. Larry's favor: despite both being heterosexual, that they enter into a domestic partnership, in name and paper only, to provide that much needed protection for Larry's children. Chronic womanizer Chuck reluctantly but eventually agrees... Written by Huggo

Goofs

Continuity: During the scene when Chuck is sitting on the bed talking to Alex, his "best friends 4-ever" bracelet changes positions on his hand as he touches her face. One shot it is nearest his wrist and the next shot it is moved down his arm further. The letters on the bracelet change positions throughout the scenes. The bracelet could not had slid down his arm because the material the bracelet is made out of is tight on his arm. See more »
