Shame

S2 E7: Having stashed his kids with his dad, Tommy joins Lou in secretly taking up residence at the firehouse. Although he and Tommy can't find new places to live, Lou does run into Sondra, the woman who dumped him after he left his wife for her. Knowing that she's attracted to men who are already attached, Lou tells Sondra that he's dating someone and then, taking Tommy's advice, hires a prostitute to help convince her that it's true. And while the atmosphere at his dad's apartment is tense, Tommy can only think to ask Uncle Teddy for a connection to supply him with painkillers. Meanwhile, Jerry's tolerance is tested when his son's boyfriend, Steven, arrives for a visit. And when Franco brings Keela home from the hospital following her overdose, Laura stays to help. After rescuing a severely burned young boy from an apartment fire, Tommy agrees to take Franco along to a drug rehab meeting, but only after pressing him for any painkillers he may have stashed somewhere. After a heated argument with Sheila reveals that she is now seeing a woman, Tommy is at the hospital consoling the mother of the injured boy when he slips into another hallucination, telling Jesus that he will only consider believing in God if the youngster recovers. Meanwhile, despite his recent run of bad luck, Lou encourages Sean not to give up on dating. As Tommy, Mickey, and Johnny attend a church picnic being given by their recently-discovered half-brother, Father Murphy, Sean accompanies Franco to his rehab in hopes of meeting some women. Though Franco hesitates to openly discuss his drug problem, Sean wastes no time in introducing himself as a former crack user to Molly, one of the recovering addicts. While doing everything he can think of to contact the dealer recommended by Uncle Teddy, Tommy finds that caring for his kids is already trying his patience. And when Mickey suggests that a young boy that Father Murphy has been caring for is actually his son, Tommy doesn't want to believe it. Finally, as Jerry loses his composure after walking in on Peter and Steven having sex, Franco admits that even Keela's brush with death hasn't been enough to break him of his addiction.
