Will Jimmy Brockmire (Hank Azaria) rekindle her relationship with his former wife?
At the end of Season 1, episode 3 of “Brockmire,” Brockmire’s ex, Lucy (Katie Finneran), traveled from Kansas all the way to Morristown, Pennsylvania to see her former spouse once again. And according to the synopsis for tonight’s Season 1, episode 4, titled “Retaliation,” Lucy’s arrival in Morristown forces Brockmire to confront whether or not he still has feelings for her.
As revealed in Season 1 premiere of the new IFC comedy series, Brockmire left Lucy after he caught her sleeping with several men in the afternoon of their 20th anniversary as lovers.

“Please imagine my surprise when I opened the front door to find about half-dozen naked folks sprawled out in my living room engaged in what can only be described as a desperate and a hungry account of love making,” Brockmire shared on-air while giving a running commentary on a baseball game between Boston and Kansas City in 2007.“And right in the center of it all was my wife, Lucy.”
Following that public meltdown, Brockmire left the US and worked as a sports announcer in different parts of the world. Ten years after, Brockmire returned to the US after Jules (Amanda Peet) offered him a job as a public-address announcer for Morristown’s Minor League baseball team called the Frackers.
At the end of the Season 1 premiere, Lucy, while watching TV, heard Brockmire’s voice and figured that her ex-husband is still alive.
Lucy’s arrival in Morristown is also expected to complicate things between Brockmire and Jules, who have already developed a romantic relationship with each other.
In the promo clip for tonight’s episode, Lucy and Jules formally introduce themselves to each other, and it’s pretty obvious that there’s some tension between them.
“I’m Lucy, his horrible monster of an ex-wife,” Lucy tells Jules as they shake hands.
“I’m Jules, his current drunk of a girlfriend,” replies Jules.
“Brockmire” Season 1, episode 4 airs tonight at 10 p.m. EDT on IFC. Watch the promo clip below:
