This Shameless review contains spoilers.
Last week,Shamelessseemed to turn a corner.
And this is what makes #AbortionRules such a strong continuation of an impressive kickoff to season 6.
And it looks to be posited on a grim but necessary question.
How good of a parent is Fiona Gallagher?
Yet is that enough?
Because for a pregnant 15-year-old girl, abortion does indeed rule over ruining your life.
This is wonderfully warped and only logical to Debs.
Carl meanwhile has hilariously made even greater strides in his new calling than I could have predicted.
But nope, Carl is shaking down Asian drycleaners and selling guns in school.
But if youre even mildly sincere, heres the trigger and look up how to use it online.
Either way, Carl is going to go far in this life until shit inevitably gets bloody very soon.
At this point, it should be noted that there were other good comedic storylines coursing through the episode.
After all, the life insurance would be through the roof.
And therein lies another of the seasons most unsettling contrasts for Fiona.
As legal guardian, Fi has agreed to be more than a sistershe is also a mother.
Luckily, Fi can get Lip to show a united front.
Fucking Gallaghers, says Lip.
But its also overdue.
There is an actual cathartic emotion to their closing love scene too.
Surprisingly, I find myself really rooting for them.
But should they have a kid?
Honestly, Idothink Fiona is old enough now to be a mother.
And thats also why Fi probably shouldnt be a real mother again so soon.
