Pieces

S3, E9: Following a fire at an indoor marijuana garden that sends the drug-addled crew of 62 Truck back to the station to sober up, a visit to the hospitalized fireman John Stackhouse leaves Tommy pondering his own future. Life for most of the other firefighters proves just as challenging when Mike's decision to move out widens a growing rift with his gay roommate, Chris, and a nurse at the hospital suggests that Jerry stop visiting his ailing wife in order to maintain his own sanity. And as Franco wonders what secrets his new girlfriend is keeping from him, Sean claims that marrying Maggie will make him a member of the Gavin clan. Lou's buying a motorcycle and considering leaving the department to join a cousin on his fishing boat in Florida and Franco's preparing for the upcoming lieutenant's exam has Tommy worrying about what will happen to him if the crew he trusts with his life breaks up. So, as Sean seeks Maggie's dad's blessing for their marriage, Sheila looks to ease Tommy's fears by offering to marry him so he can retire on the millions of dollars she received as a result of her husband's death at the World Trade Center. Meanwhile, now that he's married, Uncle Teddy finds that the much-touted conjugal visits aren't as much fun as he had hoped. As Tommy considers Sheila's offer, things at the firehouse become even tenser when, in the wake of Chris' visit, the firefighters discover that Mike has been living with a gay man. But while his partners are virtually unanimous in their revulsion, Tommy surprises everyone by jumping to Mike's defense. Finally, as Franco learns that Natalie isn't living with another boyfriend, but is actually caring for her mentally ill brother, Tommy gets word that Janet and Johnny are expecting a baby.
