In a later episode, he's banged up after getting in a fight. Kev is played by Jamie Bamber, who is usually the epitome of Fanservice.

It's suggested that Kev see a therapist after all he's been through, and at first it seems like he is, but then the therapist turns out to be an Imaginary Friend. The fact that the fire department didn't demand that Kev attend therapy, or suggest it earlier seems rather shady under the circumstances.

Little Al is upset by the experience, and Ziggy and Rob show indignation for him, but the whole thing is basically played for laughs. When Little Al mentions still being disturbed by it in the following episode, Rob basically tells him to get over it.
