Its about damn time…and pretty horrifying.

It also made this penultimate episode ofShamelessquite hilarious.

But then I recall the fake Aunt Ginger incident and what happened to Mattie.

Nah, shes just proving that shes more Milkovich than any other Gallagher on this show…. kinda looks Ian is succumbing for the time being to Monicas side of things.

It feels fairly cynical, but not out of line for the character orShamelessas a whole.

Indeed, it should have come with a side of snake oil.

They say that he is sick and needs help, but they also infer that he is damaged goods.

There might always be some tension there, but they are a positive influence on him.

Ian has the possibility of a happy life with Mickey.

No animal deserves that fate.

And despite the shows title this is a true shame.

That is an unfortunate dread to have at the moment since she and Sean appear quite cute together.

Sean offers that with his own drug battle, confused family life, and mixed signals at work.

Also ending this week is acting like Franks role in season five.

In many respects, it is the reverse Butterface incident from season two.

Is Frank a better person than he used to be since he faced death so narrowly last year?

Nah, it probably just helps that Biancas face is anything but butter.

Perpetually caught between two worlds, Lip is drifting more and more to a collegiate one.

Finally, the gentrification subplot needs to have some kind of payoff.

Until then, Ill see you at the Alibi.
