Last week, hope may have sprung eternal on ShowtimesShameless, but reality has set back in tonight.

It was really two crushing moments that brought the pain home.

I didnt remember Mike and Robbies sister, but she clearly recalled Fiona.

Destroy your own family and leave mine alone.

My fear is that this will become Fionas mantra going forward.

The look of utter acceptance of these shattering words on Rossums face said all that was needed.

The irony is that of course Robbie is as equally responsible for Mikes destruction.

He slept with Mikes girlfriend.

He urged on doing it again and again.

Hell, he even gave Fiona the cocaine.

Its probably why she turned to Robbie to cry in total despair about whats happened.

This is howShamelessviews the poverty line in America, and I fear how Fiona is going to react.

Fiona is not a bad person; she just tries to act like one.

His intelligence remains the one gift that could save a Gallagher from this life.

And that is what happens in one of the most hilarious comedy bitsShamelesshas had all season.

He even convinces the campus police that hes a crack dealer, earning the assailant a taser.

Still, it is some much-needed comedy that raises an interesting question: where exactly was Mandy Milkovich?

We do know exactly where Mickey Milkovich has been since Ian returned.

His family certainly does with the wife coming over to confront him about their fatherless child.

Sadly though, reality is right outside their romance.

His marriage may be a sham, but so will his eventual life when daddy gets out of prison.

Unsurprisingly, Debbie Gallaghers latest chapter in her quest for 20-year-old Mattie also hit more snags this week.

This time though, it is a snake in the car.

In that sense, he is doing much better than both of his Gallagher sisters.

In many ways, this week is vintageShameless.

Somehow, even Frank can find generous helpings in both.

Even John Wayne Gacy got a last meal.

When an episode of this show can do it forthatcharacter, it was a great one indeed.
