Details

• Release Year: 2008
• Genre: Comedy, Drama
• Plot: Later in Season 5, Garrity suffers renal carcinoma and requires surgery, forcing him to reunite with his estranged mother and brother. A woman named Kelly (Maura Tierney) rushes into a fire that the crew is fighting, and retrieves a mysterious metal suitcase. Tommy appears to shun both Janet and Sheila to spend time with Kelly. While there are some romantic undertones, Tommy is more interested in why the suitcase was so important to Kelly.; ; Much of Season 5 also follows Tommy's extended family -- Cousin Mickey (Robert John Burke), Cousin Eddie (Terry Serpico), Uncle Teddy (Lenny Clarke) and Teddy's wife Ellie (Patti D'Arbanville) -- as they all return to drinking after spending several months in AA. In the penultimate episode, the four are drinking with Tommy when an obviously drunk Ellie leaves to pick up a dog she and Teddy had adopted. Shortly after leaving, Ellie is shown running a red light and crashing her car. In the final episode, it is revealed that the crash was fatal. Teddy confronts his nephews and Tommy in the bar, clearly pointing the finger of blame at Tommy. The cliffhanger for Season 6 is set after Teddy shoots Tommy in the shoulder, apparently leaving Tommy to bleed to death while threatening that he'll shoot to death anyone who tries to help him.
