Carl is digging himself a deep hole in tonight’s episode of Shameless.
But so is Sammi.
We discuss that and what being a “Gallagher” means.
Lip responds, Its a kind of diagnosis though, right?
Yes it is Lip; yes it is.
And both facets were in good supply again tonight, even if Carls fledgling drug business is not.
Plus, theres Mickey.
He is ready to stand (or at least sleep) by Ian by the end of the episode.
Lip meanwhile is going through his own problems, which came to a head this week.
Still, it really is in Lips noblest effort to stay in school.
Which is why I imagine selling drugs on campus is such a danger to it.
Indeed, another storyline that lacked much in the way of laughs was Fionas plotline.
As this episode proved, Gus is already to the wind.
By the end of the season, shell be single again.
By the end of the series, Jimmy will also return.
But first there is the Gus matter.
Marriages that start after nine days of crazy sex never seem like they have the strongest foundations.
They honestly should have been on the street last week after Lip saw Sammi pull a gun on Frank.
Fi screwed up once with cocaine, Sammi is a ticking time bomb for every evening dinner.
Granted, Carl got her son pinched with heroin, but none of the other Gallaghers even like Chucky.
These kind of dysfunctional family squabbles is what made the first two seasons ofShamelessso enjoyable.
Well, maybe not for Fi, but lets just say that next week the knives best be out.
Heres hoping that he took his siblings advice about saying nothing.
Then again, he could just tell the fuzz the truth about his situation: Gallaghers.
Sammi
Im coming down off some heavy lithium right now.
But maybe in an hour or two [I can move the pool].
Ian
I want a fucking lawyer, motherfucker.
