The store manager is upset that they wrecked the store for steak and two avocados, of which a hot chick takes one.
Tommy calls Sheila, needing him to come over and hang her television. Tommy's sure Damian called her. He swears he didn't. He texted her.
At Sheila's, Tommy says Janet hasn't even asked him to go yet. She asks him if he's going to go. He changes the subject.
He asks her who Jimmy cheated on her with. She says it's not important anymore. Jimmy was seeing her for months, plus she caught them out to a candle light dinner, holding hands and kissing. What an idiot, Tommy says.
Sheila comes out of the bathroom in a negligee and orders Tommy to take off his clothes and lie down. She says it might be the last time they have sex and she wants to make it a doozy. She pours him an enormous glass of vodka. Then she busts out the handcuffs.
She starts kissing him and asks if she wants to know more about Jimmy. She shows him a cheesy Empire State Building Zippo lighter Jimmy's other woman gave him. After some sweet talk, she holds the lit lighter to his face, saying that his marriage was only worth something when it was falling apart. She wraps her hands around Tommy's throat and ignores Tommy as he tells her to stop. She says she doesn't think any other woman on earth could make him twist like that and then have him turned on the next second. She says if he wants to wake up next to an electric shock every day even after he stops firefighting, she's his best bet.
She kisses him finally and then undoes the handcuffs, telling him to get back to hanging the TV.

At home, Lou researches possible honeymoon destinations. Candy says they should go somewhere extravagant. He gets turned on by her folding his laundry. They start the second honeymoon early.
Tommy and Janet sit out to dinner. She thinks he's made a decision, but he hasn't. She says it's simple: either he gets to see Katie or he doesn't.
"Did you sleep with Jimmy Keefe?" Tommy blurts out.
Janet says she's not going to answer that. He reads her body language and thinks she did.
Janet asks which would be easier: if she slept with him before they were married or if she slept with him a few weeks before he died.
Tommy gets up and tells her to meet him outside. He waits, but she doesn't come. He takes his lit cigarette and goes back inside. She ignores him then says he's making a scene. He ups the stakes by wiping all the stuff off their table.
Then he takes an ashtray and throws it through the glass back door. He goes back to Janet, who tells him he slept with Sheila so he doesn't have a leg to stand on. She suggests they call it even.
But he says he started sleeping with Sheila after they were separated. She says she might have done the same with Jimmy. She says it happened about six months before they got married, when Sheila and Jimmy were on a break, too.
She says it gave them their bearings back and let them know who they each belonged with. That's why she called him four days later. The cops come for Tommy.
Outside, the cops are more concerned with a stain on Janet's dress than with arresting Tommy. Janet tells him not to do what he usually would in that situation, call Sheila. Or that other chick. Damian told Shawn who told Colleen.
As Sheila walks away, Tommy takes out his phone and calls Kelly. She has no idea who he is, confusing him with another Tommy. She's not in the mood to go out. She suggests he come over instead. They can pick up where they left off in the back of the cab, where he was attempting to give her a free mammogram.
Franco hits the heavy bag and someone tells him Carla's on the phone. He doesn't take it.
At Kelly's new place, they talk awkwardly. She asks if he feels like he's being judged. She says he is.
She says she's not really into boyfriends, travels a lot, is selfish and tends to grab whatever she wants.
She asks his deal.
He tells her about sleeping with his cousin's widow and Connor getting hit by the drunk driver.
And I thought I was a mess, she says.
She thinks he's intriguing. She tells him she's only around on weekends and when she is she needs a guy who pays full attention to her needs, in and out of bed. She tells him to leave.
Then she says sorry about his kid (Connor) and that you never really get over something like that. No, you don't, Tommy says.
She takes her mystery box from the fire into her bedroom to get high. He's not sure what to do. He knocks gingerly on the door, saying he wants to be honest.
He tells her he was out having dinner by himself and couldn't stop thinking about her. He babbles some mushy stuff. But she tells him he still has to go.
He leaves and she lights up.
