Fiona went to prison this week…strangely, making this the happiest Shameless episode of the season!
Well, until the last two minutes…
In the penultimate episode for this seasonsShameless, things (for the most part) are looking pretty good.
Because inShameless,no one gets too far ahead without losing a tooth.
And for everyone but her that is some much-needed breathing room from an imploding character vortex.
They dont care and neither does Ian.
But I would not be too overjoyed yet.
It is a real world issue, and one that is difficult to explore.
So,Shamelesstackling with such bluntness is unique an occasionally refreshing.
Plus, Crazy Debbie (who we glimpse every season) using a snake was pretty hilarious.
Nonetheless, this particular chapter rang a little bit false.
Especially if they met him.
But, if it works for them, who are we to judge?
But after Fiona got sent up the river, Lip doesnt have a free evening.
So, they were cordially invited to a dinner at the Gallagher homestead.
And its perfect timing since Carl invited his new girlfriends entire sibling family to live with them!
Oh, and Social Services sprang their surprise visitat exactly that momenttoo!
Its a win-win all around.
Its cold, and hes taking on more charges, if only for a night.
Thats why we also have Emily.
And it works painfully well.
But perhaps it needed to.
ButShamelesshad to re-earn its street cred and quickly.
A little girl who wishes she could go to school or dance.
The real heartbreaker though was that hallucinating Frank did not see little Emily sitting near him.
He also offers to find her some food.
Inevitably, Frank gets to enjoy a new liver to wreck when innocent Emilys heart gives out.
And as predictable as it is, it is heartbreaking.
He took away her childhood, and he got to watch it happen one more time tonight.
Sadly, he wont remember it…but we will.
It was a stark ending left to remind viewers just what kind of show they are watching.
For some, it may therefore be one of the seasons best.
The question is on who.
So, it will have to be somewhere else.
Lord knows that Fiona has suffered enough this year, but could one good kicking deserve another?
