The Gallaghers screw up so much this week that Mickey Milkovich should be picketing to get them better wages.
That just means youre a Gallagher.
The first is obviously Fi herself.
The horror was that when he called her an addict that we knew she REALLY is Franks daughter.
However, I at least expected her to put up some protest before relapsing again.
She could have called.
She could have texted.

I am of two minds about this development.
…But then I remember that this is Fiona.
Her throwing it all away for sexual excitement in her life is not only in-character, it is expected.
And struggle he does when he misses the mid-term because some girl stole his round on the dryer cycle.
Nonetheless, the implicit issue is, Who does laundry on the day of a midterm?
College wasnt that long ago for me to feel total sympathy about this or many of Lips problems.
Even the show finally takes the hardline with Lip.
Instead, he winds up back in the South Side (from MIT?)
very quickly to receive some tough love from Mandy and Kev.
Thank the God ofShameless, St. Jameson.
Lip is ready to quit once again, because he tried for a month and still screwed up.
When mean words turn to mean hands, I realized thatShamelessis turning Mandy into a new form of Karen.
Speaking of Hurricane Monica, her favorite whipping coast got battered pretty hard as well this week.
Except now it is Hurricane Sammi.
And no, the ER does not handle this.
Frank blames Obamacare, but I sat back for a minute and thought about it.
So…wait, why am I thinking about that?!
Frank paying for ANYTHING, even with a massive tax credit?!
Okay Frank, so whats the shortcut in this?
Get himself hurt and to blame Sheila for whose insurance policy would pay him a hundred grand.
So, after much coaxing, Carl agrees to break Franks leg, albeit sadly not on YouTube.
Even more sadly for Frank, he then discovers that his blood is not compatible with Sammi.
Franks so angry that he doesnt even care that he blurts out shes his daughter.
Ah, to live for Hallmark moments like this.
Not all of the subplots went as smoothly or ended asShamelesslyas Franks.
I am going to be honest now: I have real, real problems with the Debbie storyline.
In todays multimedia-social monstrosity 13-year-olds (think they) know everything about sex.
It does not become any better when her boyfriend pushes her away, saying that shes too young.
What is that, 15 (and hed then be 22)?
But well be back at this story thread either next week or next year.
IfShamelessis anything like Lip, it will learn to be more prepared on that subject in the future.
Egyptian royals, the Incas, Hell, King Arthur, they all kept it in the family!
We probably still would if Oedipus hadnt ruined it for all of us.
So fine, cast the first stone.
But first, if we all came from Adam and Eve, well, you do the math.
-MICKEY: Well Sasha, needs to find out that my wifes a hooker not a slave.
-MICKEY: Im like the Abraham [of prostitutes].
-V: You do know what happened to Lincoln in the end, right?
-MICKEY: You kidding?
I could barely make it through the opening credits.
Let me tell you from experience, shes not.
-SAMMI: Youre my dad?
I almost put you in my mouth.
FRANK: I didnt ask you to do that.
SAMMI: You dry-humped my thigh for half an hour yesterday.
FRANK: Dry-humping is not incest.
