I will never be the same.
But more on that nightmare later.

You in this for life, motherf.”
(I Googled Chinese jump rope because I had no idea what that was.
Now I am enlightened.hey enjoy the fruits of my laborin case you were as ignorant as I was.)
Frank goes back to the barber shop and asks aloud for “a scary-looking black man.”
But Carl is still needed for a drug run, and he’s insistent on going straight.
Oh, and Carl’sstillnot off the hook.
NEXT:Bad stuff happens.
!Handing a bag of drugs over to a drug addict was a terrible idea!!!
Frank attempts to enlist Gareth into driving him to Indiana, but Gareth is not interested.
That is, until Frank pulls out the drugs, and says they can sample it.
This goes badly!!!
One employee wanders into Gareth’s office, sees them doing lines, and partakes as well.
Next, the room is filled with partying hairstylists.
Is this not the first time Gareth has had to replace coke with laxatives?
Or is he so backed up that he needs that in his desk?
Anyway, in the midst of all this nonsense, Carl asks V to stitch up his forehead.
He confesses his gangbanger troubles, but makes her promise not to tell Fiona.
“I don’t want to see that.”
Sean drives Carl to G-Dog’s meeting spot and tries to negotiate him out of his deal.
G-Dog is not enthused, and is concerned about the kind of message that might send.
“That you’re a reasonable man,” says Sean, hilariously.
Pretty sure G-Dog is not too concerned with appearing reasonable.
He is, however, interested in Sean’s coat.
So that’s his now, too.
Next, we see Carl and Sean walking in the cold in just their boxers.
Sean and Carl arrive at the former’s apartment completely frozen, but otherwise in one piece.
Everything’s fine now!
Sean walks into Will’s room and sees him pointing a gunone he found in the Gallagher home.
Sean rips Fiona a new one, terrified about losing his visitation rights with Carl.
I’m the happiest girl in the world.
Even before landing himself in juvie, Carl spent years acting tough and skirting the law.
And now, he might have the chance to be a normal kid.
Unless, of course, G-Dog doesn’t murder Frank and Carl both.
That story line ends with Frank running for his life, three guys chasing after him.
Immediately, I knew something disgusting was going to happen.
“I know!!
She was experienced and married.
… she was so fing selfish.
I was like her little dog.
Everything was on her terms and she tossed me aside when s hit the fan.
It wasn’t even my fault.
I would never have done anything to hurt her.
She wouldn’t even look at me.”
Anyway, he got the heartbreak massaged out by his foot chakras (???
I don’t know.
I hate this.)
and his story line ends with him in a sorority-girl foursome.
Well, good job, Lip.
Not so sure he’s learned anything but uh, whatever.
If he’s happy, I’m happy.
May he never interact with Queenie ever again.
Debs
Not all of the Gallaghers can have character epiphanies in one episode.
We discover pretty quickly that he has maiesiophiliai.e.
a pregnancy fetishand is only into Debs because she’s pregnant.
Anyway, don’t worry about her too muchshe tells Larry to get lost once she discovers the truth.
Ian
Ian and Caleb’s relationship is moving forward.
They go on a movie date with Caleb’s friends and everythingall new territory to Ian.
He’s also studying for his EMT exam, and he’s happy.
“I like having a purpose,” he tells Caleb.
“Studying to be an EMT feels like I’m back to my old self.”
And finally, in related, real-world news, Noel Fisher (a.k.a.
Mickey)has been castin a drama pilot for NBC.
