Kim is leaving the station with the kitten and she passes Jimmy sitting by the fire truck. They talk about the kitten and how Joey will react to it. Then Kim asks Jimmy about his ribs. He says they feel okay, but he feels bad about the way he acted that day and the consequences of his actions. Its about time he learned that his macho-man actions have consequences. He deserved the crack to the head -- maybe it knocked some common sense into him. Kim sits with him and they both look sad together.
Sully knocks on Maggies door; Maggie answers in her pajamas and robe, and when she sees Sully she asks if Ty is okay. Sully tells her Ty is fine, and then tells her about Tommy. He says that he wanted to tell her about Tommy because there was no one else to tell, and he thought that wasnt right. Maggie tells him to hold on, and then she comes out with a big comforter and she sits on the stairs with Sully. Sully starts babbling something about fishing, and he tells Maggie that when you deal with so much tragedy you lose feelings, and the better cop you are the less human you are, and he is just like Tommy (well, except he still has a head). He tells Maggie that he is almost forty-five and hes all alone, and he wont see his wife holding their baby or tell his kids not to play ball in the house, and he doesnt even own a house. Buddy, youre only forty-four. You have plenty of time to plant your seed into a nice, fertile young woman. Some women cant resist a man in a uniform -- go out to parties wearing your blues! Hell, if youre that desperate to have a wife and kids, get a mail-order bride! Youre not dead yet -- start procreating! So Sully keeps whining about not having anything he thought he would have had, and all of a sudden twenty-five years are gone. Its no ones fault but your own, Sully. No one locked you in your apartment when you werent working. Maggie feels bad for him and tells him that nothing is over and that theres always time. Yeah, theres time before Ty comes home from drinking with his friends, so if Sully really wanted to take charge of his life he would have started crawling under that comforter with Maggie and really warming her up, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. But he just gives her a sad look, and she takes his hand and holds it. Fade to black.
