That's how Ian will get sent home, maybe.

Or federal prison.

Mother God **** you Shameless. All that frivolous depravity, then let the one redeeming character let the baby [literal infant] in the family have access to your 1/2 gram of cocaine.

A pox on all your house.

And I was ready to praise the great scene between Emmy Rossum and Jake McDorman at the office.

What a gut punch show.

Or the 'White Swallow' in a glitterball tank top.

Hence the show title "Shameless"

I was ready for anything Frank the Tank, Carl, or Lip threw my way, but Fiona might be the biggest ****up of them all. Because she sees clearly how ****ed up ****ing up can be, and does it anyways.

Frank seduces his daughter for a kidney, or Carl steals dogs to raise drug money on their 'ransom' and you say 'Oh, those scamps, those scaliwags.'

They spend how many seasons making Fiona Ms. Responsible, only to have her tugging cocks for the guy who figures out she's a sex addict, then have him leave coke around for her to leave on a mirror for a ****ING INFANT to find and OD on.

GUT . . . PUNCHED.

Yep. That was the first episode that left me pissed off.

LMAO Give me one of the other options please.

"White Swallow". Not even subtle...

I think it's an actual gay bar in Chicago...

I have no doubt. The Midwest version of the Man Hole.

Holy shit, that was a gut punch.

I literally stalked around my house for a few minutes afterward I was so pissed off at this episode. The entire time she was partying it up, I was pissed because Liam was there. Fiona is supposed to be the responsible one, and while she's been on this kinda self-destructive track for the last few episodes, none of her actions were affecting anyone other than herself... that all came crashing down and in a major, major way.

That ball started rolling before the brother showed up. She'd been neglecting the kids to stay with her boyfriend. So she's had no idea of anything that's been going on outside of her own bubble.

Yes, but like I said, none of her behavior up to that point had had any direct effect on anyone other than her (and her boyfriend).

She's been sacrificing herself for the family her whole life. She never got to be a kid. She had a chance for some me time, while supporting the fam, and took it for once.
I can't fault that.
****ing the brother and exposing a toddler to coke is of course a whole different deal.

But as has been stated, that's why they call it Shameless.
