Swipe, Fuck, Leave

This was a follow-up episode. With everyone’s paths on a certain track, we rolled along them to the next station.

Frank escalates his occupation by barricading the second floor of the house for his own use after Fiona knocks a hole into the bedroom door and throws all his things out. That starts a war of escalation where the kids cut off his water, he lets a raccoon loose in the house and the kids finally bust through his cement block walls. All the while Frank lets everyone know about his disgust with them and will be disowning them all.

Debbie continues her Craigslist steal and flip until she almost kidnaps a baby. The money has been so good I’m sure this won’t deter her, she’ll just be more careful. Every time she steals I’m shocked she gets away with it. As an aside, where Deb sleeps during Frank’s occupation is never mentioned. Best I can tell she was on the kitchen floor.

Ian has boyfriend trouble where he can’t come to grips with Caleb’s assertion that he isn’t cheating when he sleeps with a woman. This sends Ian reeling and actually sleep with a random woman to see if “no one is actually 100% gay” like Caleb says. Well, Ian is 100% sure he is 100% gay. Looks like his happy and healthy relationship is coming to an end.

Lip gets an internship at some new tech company and when the feds come a knocking to confiscate some servers, he witnesses one of the head guys deleting info. This makes Lip really curious and this could turn into Lip’s leverage to turn his internship into a paying gig. Not too sure of the play just yet. Meanwhile, he’s walking that narrow line of sobriety. When popping into The Alibi for a beer, as per his set rules, Frank comes in with Liam and that exchange convinces him to skip this drink. Later, he goes out with Fiona and her new employees…

Fiona gets total control of the diner. After a rather tense situation when going to Chad’s office she’s given full reign to get the diner in shape (or it’s being shut down). With that fire underneath her, she hires some new girls and fires off who she sees as dead weight. With new outfits for her new staff (short skirts!) Fiona is pushing to get the diner into the black at warp speed. She goes out with her new hires for the first time since her disastrous wedding day, gets plastered and uses Tinder for the first time. After having a successful night, Fiona goes to V’s to share her joy at 2am and V shuts her down, telling her it’s gotta wait for daylight. Fiona’s reaction was hilarious. Now about Lip. One of the new hires has the hots for him and it’s pretty clear they are so right for each other in all the wrong ways. He’s apprehensive about drinking in such an environment, knowing it’s dangerous for him. There will be no happy ending for these two.

Carl is on the mend and has to see his doctor twice after ripping his stitches. At the very end he hits his goal of 72 hours of healing and it’s game on underneath the stairs with Dom.

The neighborly threesome hits the rough patch. Kevin is given house husband duty while Svet and V work the bar. Feeling like he’s being put well below his station and not appreciated, he’s inspired to start a new business. Nook & Fannies might work! Might.
