![]() ![]() Nay, we’ve seen too many episodes of Debs being oblivious to Franny’s health tonight, she even only registers the fact that Lip might be a dad soon because it would give Franny a playmate. Debbie doesn’t even have a conversation with Lip about how maybe she would agree that Fi should go because she fears for the health and safety of Franny. Fiona, the big sister who really acted like her mother, is being tossed from the home and none of the Gallaghers are involved in this drama, or really even trauma. And yet, we’re supposed to feel Lip’s justified wrath as he gathers Fiona’s clothes (and that antique chair Ford convinced her to buy, which is a nice touch) and throws them on the curb like garbage.ĭebs watches him do this and shrugs it off. If not for the fact she made him a bracelet, I’d have assumed she wanted to leave given how blankly the scene is written and played. Continually nigh mute, Xan doesn’t even seem that phased about losing Lip. ![]() However, Xan wordlessly being dragged off by DFCS lacks the entire emotional component the writers’ room clearly thinks it has. I understood Lip’s fury last week, even as viewers were allowed to realize that he was letting it blind him to extenuating circumstances. As was my interest in Debs and Carl.Īt the beginning of the episode, Shameless continued the strange tactical error of assuming we were as invested in Xan as Lip is. Altogether, that feeling of camaraderie amongst the siblings in season 1 was much more tangibly, and painfully, gone by the contrast. Otherwise Debbie and Carl went about their horrendous love triangle subplot that no one cares about, as if nothing that happened to Fiona mattered, Liam was AWOL, and Franny was a prop. ![]() In fact, Shameless broke its own golden rule by refusing to put family first for really any of the Gallaghers except, strangely, Frank. I thought it worthy of mentioning after tonight’s episode since Lip has seemingly and almost entirely forgotten those times-and also because other than when dealing with Lip and Fiona’s competing dramas, “You’ll Know the Bottom When You Hit It” really didn’t offer a whole lot in the way of what should feel like a rising crisis in the Gallagher family. ![]()
