Own Your Shit

A big win for Frank this week. A wealthy philanthropist has taken a liking to Frank’s message and bought the house so Frank and his people can stay there. Frank obviously sees this as a great triumph and quickly tries to claim that he owns the property. He sends out his posse to designated begging areas and now he’s got some income. So much that he can pay off his Alibi tab. Frank Gallagher is moving on up!

The Gallagher boys are all trying to find solid ground. Ian’s relationship with Trevor is trying as it’s very new territory for him, but it looks like it could go somewhere. He certainly seems to be happier. Lip is tired of his unpaid internship and makes a move to scam the scammers. It could pay off big but he could get into serious trouble if he gets caught. He had the smarts to figure out how to do it but I’m not sure if he’s thought of how to cover his tracks. He’s caught total feelings for Sierra and seeing her flirt with other men and her non-commital to him, it’s clear what they have isn’t an exclusive relationship. Carl is trying to make something of his life and that’s great to see. Even with a setback he reaches out for help again and it ends up working (one of the funnier moments when he gets the DNA test results back).

Fiona is working her ass off and she’s turned Patty’s around. The woman just needs to get paid! A tinder hookup pays off by meeting a financial professional and she’s starting to sow the seeds of a massive career. She’s still getting shade from the family, though, but she’s slapping that noise to the side and charging forward.

Deb is still struggling but like the others, she’s doing her damnedest to make something happen for herself and Frannie. Just when she sees a legit opportunity cross her path taking advice from Frank has blown up in her face. She’s facing a threat of Frannie being taken away from her. There’s a darkhorse in this new problem. The sister of the father of Frannie saw what Deb was doing. She wasn’t the one that made the video but could be an out of the problem. There’re a few ways this could go. 1)She could vouch for Deb, saying she was simply defending herself and her child. 2) After that, offer her families support with Frannie 3) Worst case, Frannie doesn’t get put into the foster system and goes with the father’s family so Deb could still be involved with her daughter.

The best part of Svet, V and Kevin is almost always Kevin. I like his attempts to get V to talk to Fiona and him talking to Ian about it was really funny.
