Debbie again begs Fiona for her own room since Frank's never there anyway, there's an extra bedroom. Fiona doesn't have time for it.
Ian and Mandy go to jail to pick up Mickey. Mickey is thrilled to be out but still not ready to be 'out' and play sit straight while Mandy is around.
Frank arrives at Dotties to bring her 'Meals on Wheels.' She is less than thrilled that Frank is the one delivering her meal but Frank manages to get an invite in.
At the bar, Fiona is still getting nowhere with hot DJ as she brings him another beer. Veronica tells her to give it up. Jasmine shows up again with her 'boyfriend' and Veronica patronizes her.
Ian and Mickey hang out in a baseball dugout to drink a beer. They don't waste a lot of time before they begin hooking up.
Frank is trying to move in on Dottie but she is only focused on her pager hoping that the hospital will contact her about a heart transplant which is her only chance for survival. The Meals on Wheels driver arrives and realizes what Frank is doing.
Jasmine offers Fiona some coke with her boyfriend. As well as offering Fiona one of her boyfriend's rich friends. Veronica still does not approve but Fiona really can't beat the tip Jasmine's boyfriend gives her.
At home, Debbie really wants her privacy as she's entering puberty but baby Liam keeps staring at her. She's had it so she moves the crib into the boys room with Carl.
Mickey and Ian finish up. Ian tries to counsel Mickey about his future. He offers to talk to his boss to give him a job. But Mickey is more interested in getting ready to go again.
Lip, (although hot, not sure about the Capri pants), stalking Karen, waits for her Sex Addict sponsor, Jody, to leave and goes into her room so they can have sex.
Dottie calls Frank out and he tries to convince her that he's just trying to be a good friend. She explains how disgusting she has become with her digestive problems. He can't be scared away so he offers to unclog the toilet before he goes. He is revolted and overflows it but keeps at it.
Lip leaves Karen's and runs into Frank on his way out. Frank notices the map of progress on the refrigerator and sees that Sheila's goal is to get to the bar where he hangs out.
Fiona returns home and adds her wad of cash to the can. She's exhausted and goes to bed only to find everybody in different beds because Liam was shoved in to the boys room. She goes to get into Frank's room but there is a pregnant Asian woman in Frank's bed that Frank has rented out his room to. Unphased, she goes downstairs to sleep on the couch.
In the chaotic morning, Fiona tries to get to the bottom of the great bed switch and everyone has someone else to blame. Since Frank rented out his room, Fiona tells Debbie Liam has to go back in with her. She refuses so Liam goes in with the boys. Pregnant Asian lady comes down for breakfast and makes her own food as the Gallaghers stare at her.
When Frank wakes up in the morning, Sheila is excited about her progress. Frank doesn't share her excitement. He takes all of her ex-husbands tools. Fiona calls Frank and tells him someone just dropped off $200 cash off for him knowing full well that will get him over to the house in a hurry. He falls for it and Fiona asks him what the fuck is up with the Asian lady. Frank justifies his decision but Fiona threatens to call the INS. She demands the money from Frank but he spent it already. She tells Asian lady that she can stay but she has to help with the day care. She pretends she doesn't speak English but Fiona threatens to deport her. Carl asks Frank if he can go with him. Frank shamelessly declines him, in his disgusting way. Why is William H. Macy so good?!?!?
At job #2, Veronica rallies up the elderly people up for an excursion. She takes them on a bus trip to the dollar tree store. Then on to CVS. Claire isn't participating just hanging out on the bus. Claire begs her to let them go out on a walk for a little while. Veronica agrees for 10 minutes. Claire and everybody else have a fantastic time at the park and are thrilled to be outdoors. They run into the ice cream/weed truck and the boys are thrilled at the business the elderly bring in for them. Veronica rounds them all up and they are deliriously happy. Claire thanks her profusely and suggest doing it again. And then Harry drops dead.
Frank arrives back at Dottie's house to again try to seduce her? Best line "I like everything about AA...except the no alcohol thing." Dottie lets him in.
Carl does a little remodeling and Harry Potters himself a little bedroom under the stairs. In doing so, he finds Fiona's diary from 7 hours ago.
Ian apparently succeeds at getting Mickey a job as he is now a security guard at the convenience store which Linda is running from her bedroom via security feed and intercom. Lip drops by to buy a bunch of beer and reveals that Ian is studying to get into the Army but Mickey is suspicious. Frank buys a bunch of shit for Dottie and tries to put it on her account...but Mickey stops him and shakes him down. Ian enjoys every last second of it.
Frank heads to the bar for some whiskey and asks the bartender what happened between them. The bartender tells him that she stopped drinking because she kept waking up next to Frank. She tells him they're all appalled that he's moving in on Dottie because she's dying but he claims he is doing the noble thing and that he may actually love her.
At day care, Carl starts reading Fiona's diary to the kids which turns out to be X-rated. Fiona arrives home and is pissed and denies Carl the Harry Potter room under the stairs. Carl's next move is outside. Fiona offers to help him spruce up the van so he can have his own room for a while.
Frank arrives back at Dottie's and she has a to do list for him. She asks Frank if he's just trying to get in her pants which she doesn't understand because she's just a butterface. Frank uses the peep hole for it's intended purpose and checks out Dottie's body. She catches him.
Lip asks Kev for advice and ask why he thinks Karen isn't sleeping with Jody. Kev informs him to watch out for chicks that don't sleep with you because that means they like/love you. This is not what Lip wanted to hear.
Debbie arrives at the elderly home with drawings from the day care for Ginger and Harry. Veronica tells her that Harry has died. Claire asks Veronica to sell her diamond ring for her so that she can take everyone to the Indian Casino for the next excursion.
Jasmine's bf arrives with his friend Richard in tow. Richard calls Fiona out that she probably had no interest in meeting him. She laughs and asks why he came anyway. He said he has to suck up to Jasmine's bf. Fiona asks about the 'arrangement' to be his escort. Richard has no idea, he just came because he was invited.
Frank grabs Dottie and kisses her. Dottie resists but she tells him that she can't have sex. If her blood pressure goes above 120 her heart will explode. "If they fuck, she'll die." Now it seems that Frank's mission is clear.
The episode ends with scenes of sexual tension, Karen sitting on the couch with Jody, Lip waiting for her text that Jody has left and then watching her kiss him passionately and Frank sitting with Dottie. Lip realizes Karen's in love with Jody and runs away.
Episodes aren't really blowing me away so far this year. I just recommended to 100 PC volunteers that this was a great show. I hope it doesn't make me look like a fool. Where's Steve? He needs to come back soon. Ian's looking hotter and hotter and I don't want to go to jail. At least have Lip shirtless, sheesh.
