Tonight’s episode of Shameless kicks off at Neil and Sierra’s house. Debbie is sick of listening to Sierra have sex with Lip every night, she whines to Neil that they are going to wake up the baby. Neil doesn’t seem too worried about it though. Debbie announces that in the morning she is going to go see Tanya – Frankie’s Aunt, the woman who called child protective services on her.

Fiona wakes up on the floor of the laundromat, she fell asleep working last night. Etta tries to kick her out with a broom and thinks she is homeless until Fiona reminds her that she is the new owner. She walks Etta across the street to the diner and gets her a piece of pie.

At the Gallagher house, Trevor and Ian wake up in the morning and make each other breakfast. Liam heads down for breakfast in his new private school uniform. Frank shows up at the door, but Ian and Trevor won’t let him in, after a brief scuffle Ian sprays Frank with pepper spray and slams the door in his face.

Debbie storms around the kitchen, she is rearranging the appliances to the way that she likes them. Lip tries to talk some sense into Debbie and reassure her that child services won’t take her baby, but Debbie is not reasonable. Sierra and Lip head out and her baby-daddy is standing on the front porch waiting to talk to her, Lip stands by awkwardly as they get in an argument.

Fiona gets back to work at the laundromat, she is doing most of the repairs herself because she can’t afford to pay any more handymen.

Frank convinces Ian to let him walk Liam to school, apparently he is a volunteer in one of the classrooms. While they are walking, Frank and Liam brainstorm on ways he can convince the family to let him back in the house.

At work Lip gets a phone call from his professor, he wants to know if Lip is coming to the hearing to try and get back in to school. Lip finally caves and agrees to go, but he needs to find a witness to vouch for him.

Kevin wakes up and realizes his van has been stolen, he freaks out and tells Svetlana and V to call the police. They laugh at him, they already called the police, and the insurance company so they can cash in. Kevin is not happy, ever since Svetlana lied about her dad/husband he can’t trust her. Even worse, he’s upset that V has already forgiven her and thinks that V is siding with Svetlana.

After everyone is gone, Frank uses a brick to break through the kitchen window and gets back into the Gallagher house. He heads upstairs and cleans the house, repairs the toilet, and even cleans rotten food out from under Liam’s bed.

Debbie takes Franky over to Tanya’s house to smooth things over with her. Debbie sits there awkwardly while Tanya and her mom play with the baby and go on and on about how adorable she is.

Etta is thrilled about the cool $80,000 sitting in her bank account since selling Fiona the laundromat. Fiona spends the whole day signing for her packages that she ordered off from QVC while she is out shopping. There’s nothing scarier than a senile old woman with $80,000 running around town. Fiona decides to take Etta’s credit cards so that she can’t blow through any more of the money.

Lip heads to his hearing and bring Ian along as a character witness. Ian shares a compelling story about when they were kids, Lip walked 80 plus blocks to get back his brother’s GI Joe toy. Then, Lip makes a moving speech about his father Frank. He doesn’t want to wind up like Frank, he wants to get back into school and be a better man than his dad is.

Kevin tracks Fiona down at the laundromat, it’s the first time he has spoke to her in months since she and V started fighting. Kevin agrees to help her finish redoing the floors in the laundromat, while they work Kevin rants about his wife drama. Fiona reveals that she never trusted Svetlana, and she thinks Svetlana is just a con artist who turned her best friend against her. While they are working, a delivery of new floor tiles arrived, apparently, Fiona used Etta’s credit cards to buy them.

Debbie convinces Tanya and her mom to come to her apartment to see where the baby lives and meet Neil. Afterward, she heads to the laundromat where Fiona is at her wit’s end, she’s arguing with Etta, stressed out over the tiles, and a massive delivery of cat food just arrived that Etta ordered earlier. Debbie and Fiona wind up in a screaming match, Debbie wants Fiona to lie to protective services and say that she works at the laundromat. Debbie storms out and slams the door, and more of the ceiling caves in.

Kevin marches in to the bar and announces that he will give all of the guys sitting there free drinks for a week if they come help him rebuild the laundromat. V is shocked that he is helping Fiona out, he snaps at her and marches back to the laundromat with all of the guys. Fiona is shocked to see all of the help, even Frank came along, and he takes Fiona aside and tells her that a laundromat is a great investment.

Lip learns that the board voted and won’t be letting him back in to school. He heads back to the diner and is wound up pretty tightly. Sierra’s ex-shows up and Lip attacks him, they wind up having a brawl in the middle of the street. Ian and Fiona rush out of the laundromat to break up the fight. Ian realizes that Lip is drunk, apparently, he fell off the wagon after he learned that the board wasn’t letting him back into school.

Debbie returns home and the baby is gone, Neil says that Tanya and Celia came back to the apartment and took her for a walk. Debbie rushes to their house, and Frankie’s grandma informs Debbie that they are keeping the baby and she can’t have her back. Debbie beats on the window and screams that she will burn down the house, Tanya records it all on her phone.

Lip shows up at Sierra’s house and tries to talk to her, she’s furious about the fight. She informs Lip that she already has one addict in her life, and she doesn’t need another and shut the door in her face.The laundromat is finally finished, Kevin announces that he is crashing on

The laundromat is finally finished, Kevin announces that he is crashing on the Gallagher’s house, he doesn’t want to go home to V and Svetlana. And, it looks like Frank is finally getting a place to sleep too. Since he helped with the laundromat, Fiona agrees to let him sleep in the back, but tells him to stay out of Etta’s apartment.

THE END!
