From the start, it's clear that the Gallagher's have gotten no more shameful since we last left them. It's clear some time has passed. Fiona is now working at a high end club where Veronica is the bartender. Fiona has a thing for the hot DJ but clearly has a new rich boyfriend who comes to visit. Jasmine has a new fling too clearly in it for the cash as well as the foursome go speed racing around Chicago in the wee hours of the morning.
Tony is still living next door remodeling Steve's house and intends to flip it once it's ready. He catches Fiona doing the walk of shame, although there is no shame, more like a skip in her step. She's happy.
Debbie is running a day care at the house to make her share of the money and is clearly helping Fiona run the house. Although, she is now insisting on her own room. Why should she have to share the room with Liam? She needs her sleep.
Frank is still mooching off Sheila who is leaving the house more and more every day. She's up to 100 steps! Karen is in Sex Addicts Anonymous.
Kev's enjoying his foster daughter/former Mormon polygamist as she has built him a nice big garden which she maintains his crop of 'tomatoes' perfectly.
Lip is running a fight ring and occasionally jumps in to fight. (Nice shirtless opener, Lip is so damn hot!) Ian and bff, Mandy are ringside clearly in on the ring. Lip is victorious and makes some cash.
Back at Kev's bar, Frank bets a random dude $10,000 that he can't get tasered twice without shitting his pants. Frank loses...shocker.
At the convenience store, Ian's boss is pregnant but is still estranged from her husband, Kash. Ian is caught in the middle still.
And thus the gang is back!
Kev's cranky, racist father is living upstairs at the bar and annoying everyone but Kev refuses to put him in a home. His dad gives him the $8700 electric bill and he is flabbergasted.
Lip is still pining over Karen even though everyone tells him to get over her. He is working on getting an ice cream truck working again (shirtlessly, thank you director) and Kev tells him they're going to have to sell some of their 'tomatoes' to pay for the bar's electric bill. He reveals to Lip his cellar full of harvested pot and the lighting system for it is what has driven the electric bill up so high. Ethel has no problem maintaining it since it will help 'all the old people who are going blind.'
Frank comes and takes Liam for the day for some 'quality time' but really he just takes him on the street to beg for money figuring he'll get more with the baby. Until tasered guy pulls up, recognizes him and takes him and Liam.
Kev doesn't think they can get enough dried out and ready to pay the bill in time so Lip suggests selling a few plants. He's got a guy.
Ian notices that Kash is still up to his dirty tricks in the back room of the convenience store.
Taser guy wants his money but Frank, naturally, doesn't have it so Taser guy keeps Liam as collateral or he'll cut off Frank's toes. Frank agrees.
Shameless, I tell you!
At the University, Lip asks his mentor the professor if he wants to buy the pot plant. He agrees and offers him a chance to work on a defense grant. Lip turns him down.
Debbie grills Frank the whereabouts of Liam. Frank bags up some oregano and takes to the streets to earn some cash.
And speaking of honest livings, Lip and Kev take out the 'ice cream truck' to the local park and sell some ice cream/candy/pot/gambling. Karen joins them to help. Lip grills her about her 'sex addiction.' Lip asks if they can go out and she agrees. Their 'cop locator' goes off and they leave the park.
Frank is not at successful and winds up being shot at.
Debbie wakes up Fiona for work and reveals that Frank took Liam.
Frank at his most desperate whores himself out, literally.
Fiona asks Jasmine if she's 'turning tricks' but Jasmine swears it's all legit and just is company for rich dudes. Her latest has a friend for Fiona and she asks if she's interested.
Kash breaks down crying at work that he can't keep living the lie. He pours his heart out to Ian.
At work, Fiona tells Veronica that Jasmine and dude have been having an affair for years. Since they're both married it's all casual. Veronica doubts the arrangement and doesn't think Jasmine's husband and dude's wife would approve. Fiona's new bf arrives 'like clockwork' and Veronica warns her not to get too serious. "He's a rebound. Even looks like Steve." Fiona is offended.
Back at home, Lip discovers an admission packet to West Point. He flips out on Ian telling him what a stupid move that is and Ian tells him it's a pipe dream because of all the requirements. Lip isn't happy but being the good (and sexy) brother that he is, he'll do whatever he can to help. After all, the President is a local boy and Lip can tutor Ian. Ian is thrilled.
Veronica arrives home to pot hanging and drying throughout the whole house. Kev takes her to the cellar and reveals the secret. She is pissed about the possibility of him getting sent away for years and tells him to get rid of it.
Frank breaks down and asks Sheila for the money.
Fiona arrives home and Debbie is waiting up because Liam still isn't home.
Taser guy is having a lot of fun taking care of baby, Liam. He's a gangster with a heart of gold!
Fiona goes to Sheila's with the entire family to find Liam. Frank reveals what happened. They all go to Taser guy's house. Taser guy puts a gone in Fiona's face and she tells him to start shooting because she's getting Liam. They empty their pockets and tell them that they, unlike Frank, are good for their debts.
Fiona puts Liam to bed at home and kicks Frank out.
At the store, Kash puts on a disguise and is leaving. He asks Ian for help to give him a head start so he can leave. Ian asks him what he should tell his kids. Kash leaves.
Veronica enlists the help of all the kids the next day to get rid of all the pot in the cellar. Kev saves two bags secretly. Think that'll come back to haunt him? Veronica insists they take it all to the dump unless anyone has any better ideas.
Lip arrives at Karen's and meets Jody, Karen's sex addict sponsor.
Fiona delivers 3 plants to Taser guy and clears the debt. Taser guy is impressed.
Frank wakes up late and has missed breakfast and lunch. He asks Sheila for something and she denies him telling him she's not a short order cook. Her new found independence is really putting a wrinkle in his lifestyle.
Kev is burying the rest of the pot when Tony arrives to say hello to Ethel and asks for some tomatoes.
The boys light all the pot in the middle of the park and fire to the cheers of a big crowd who try to get high off of it.
So shameless, I love it.
Still no sign of Steve, sigh. Doubt we've seen the last of him though.
Hopefully more shirtless Lip scenes...strange sentence...
