Fiona heads to the laundromat to get to work. Etta is sitting in her corner, just as senile as ever. She actually believes that she is the one that bought all of the new washing machines. Frank shows up with Etta’s medication and food, he is pretending to be her dead husband so he has a place to stay at night.
Lip is clocking out of the diner, he pours some vodka in to his coffee before he heads home. Sierra comes in to work and blows Lip off, she still isn’t speaking to him. Lip tries to apologize for beating up her baby-daddy.
Debbie heads to the Gallagher house to get cleaned up – Monica is still sitting on the porch and follows her inside. Debbie rants that she doesn’t have time for Monica’s drama, she needs to get her baby back. Monica is thrilled she’s a grandmother, and vows to get Frankie back.
She marches over to Frankie’s grandmother’s house and Debbie watches in horror as Monica smashes in all of their windows with a baseball bat. In the midst of the chaos, Debbie snatches the baby in her stroller and they make a run for it.
Liam is pretty confused by Monica showing up, while Frank walks him to school, he tells Liam that his mom is the devil and to stay away from her. He tells Liam that if Monica shows up at school to yell “Stranger Danger.”

Frank and Etta head out for a romantic dinner. Frank is eating and ranting about Monica when all of a sudden Etta has a moment of clarity and realizes that she doesn’t know Frank and he’s not her husband and storms out.
Kevin is still sleeping on Fiona’s couch. He wants to make up with “V” but he doesn’t trust Svetlana. He sneaks over to talk to V while Svetlana is at work. Kevin wants them to go on the Steve Harvey show, or at least see a counselor. V heads to the bar and convinces Svetlana to go to counseling with them.
Debbie is grateful that Monica helped her get the baby back, she tells her that she can crash at the apartment with her and Neil. Monica heads to the Alibi to wait for Frank, she gives Debbie her bag and says that she will meet her there later.
At the Alibi, Lip shows up to get drunker, and Monica hounds him. He’s wound pretty tight, to add insult to injury, his professor calls him about a new internship. Monica gets a text from Ian and heads to the bar to meet him and Trevor. When she arrives, Trevor and Ian are already arguing with each other, Monica gets involved and Ian storms off and leaves Trevor with his mom.
Lip and Fiona head home and chain smoke and drink together while they rant about Monica returning to town. Kevin interrupts their chat in his bath robe, he’s doing his laundry. Kevin is excited about couple’s therapy, he thinks the counselor might convince V to leave their throuple. Ian storms in and joins his brother and sister in their anti Monica party.
Monica is wasted, she heads to the laundromat and screams at Frank from the street. She throws her shoes at the window and cries and begs Frank to come downstairs.
Sierra comes home form work – Debbie tells her that Monica is coming to stay with them and tells Sierra that there isn’t enough room for her and her son, so she is going to have to move out. Debbie even began packing up her stuff.
Lip heads to the diner the next morning – Sierra decides to start talking to him again. She met his mom last night, and Monica threw up in her bed and stole her shoes. When no one is looking, Lip pours more booze in his coffee.
Fiona warns Lip not to go the laundromat because Monica is over there looking for Frank. Lip bets Fiona $20 that she will freak out over Monica before the day is over.
Debbie heads to the DCFS meeting, the social worker takes her side and tells Derrick’s family that Debbie is keeping custody of the baby and they aren’t allowed to kidnap her.

Kevin and his wives head to therapy, afterwards Kevin and V are thrilled that their three way marriage is back on track. Then, everything goes down hill when they head back to Alibi and learn that Svetlana switched liquor distributors, and apparently told the distributors that she is the owner.
It looks like Fiona owes Lip $20, she finally snaps, like everyone knew she would. Jesse, the bad Yelp reviewer, shows up at the diner. Fiona freaks out on her and calls her hipster trash, and then smears a cheeseburger all over her shirt.
Monica finally wears Frank down – she calls him in to Debbie’s house and shows him what she has been carrying around in her bag, they are MRI’s, Monica is dying. Frank breaks down in tears.
Ian and Trevor meet up, and they finally make up. Trevor trusts Ian, so he shows him his driver’s license, from when he was still a woman.

The End!
