In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description!

Tommy is shaving at the bathroom sink when he nicks himself. He reaches for some tissues, and when he looks back in the mirror, Jesus is standing right behind him. Tommy immediately falls to the floor, and I laugh out loud for a good thirty seconds. Tommy stands up, but now he's alone in the room. And the cut on his neck isn't there. He hears someone pouring a drink in the next room, and cautiously walks out to investigate.

Tommy finds a woman sitting in his living room, drinking a glass of whiskey. She talks about how Jesus loves drama. Like TNT? I'm assuming this woman is supposed to be Mary Magdalene, since she clearly knows Jesus pretty well, and she's drinking, so I don't think she's Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary Magdalene asks if Jesus has pulled his "regular-guy routine" yet, where he asks for a sandwich. Tommy doesn't respond, so she says that Tommy can look forward to it, and then asks for another drink. Tommy takes the glass, but when he looks back, she's gone.

Outside, there's yet another parking ticket on Tommy's truck, which is being towed. Tommy yells and tries to chase the truck down to no avail. He spots his old nemesis, the Jewish cop, standing nearby and laughing. Tommy points out that he has two brothers on the force, and that when the cops tries to arrest him for pissing on souvenirs at Ground Zero, his brother got him off. The cop ignores him, so Tommy grabs the cop's pen and throws it, and then threatens to beat up the cop. Is that smart? Why am I asking that? It's Tommy. He never does anything that's smart. The cop points out that the guy who just towed Tommy's truck away makes more money than Tommy does. Tommy chuckles and offers the cop a free shot. The cop actually takes it, which surprised me. Tommy punches the cop right in the nose and the cop falls down. Tommy shakes out his hand and the cop laughs and asks what will happen when the FDNY reads a report that says that Tommy broke his hand on a cop's face. Tommy realizes he needs to cut his losses, and hails a cab to take him to work.

Sheila and Damien eat breakfast and watch TV. Sheila sneaks a piece of bacon from Damien's plate and then chugs some orange juice. Damien picks up his plate, walks out to the kitchen, and returns with a full plate of food for his mother. He comments that she's eating for two now, and leaves. Sheila looks like she might cry, and then digs into the food. Maybe she's going to keep trying to pretend that she's pregnant by just getting really fat?
