Fiona tries to make things right with Debs and Gus.
(Spoiler: It gets worse, instead.)
Warmed me right up from the inside.

Frank is hanging out in the yard because hes adopted a family from the neighborhood who were recently evicted.
Gruesome, but as far as V is concerned, its a free pass.
Debs is thrilled (We can raise them together!
Like Disneyland but with abortions!
But if we lost him to jail like we lost Mickey R.I.P.
Gallavich there wouldnt be any purely good people left on this show, and that just cant happen.
One day Im just going to refer to him as The Professor like hes an X-Man.
Ian fends off the pseudo-praise, and says that Lip is the genius of the family.
So that gives you an excuse not to finish [high school]?
Again, that is not your business, my dude.
Well, the more you know.
what, exactly, they can offer you.
The song is called The F Word.
Sums it up, really.
He says he hates it at home, and that Fiona treats him like a child.
Plus, theyve been sharing a room for nearly their entire lives.
Ian is totally floored by his brothers reaction.
FRANK:Were here to stop you from destroying your soul, this family, and my legacy.
V:I came to back you.
KEVIN:I came because I paralyzed a dude.
Still playing it real cool and chill.
This is it for me, Ian says.
This is where I land.
It comes to blows, as it always does with the Gallaghers.
Thats one sibling relationship destroyed.
How are Fiona and Debs?
I want you to support me, too, because no one else does.
Not our family, not our neighbors, not my school.
Fiona is visibly moved, but she wont budge.
We made mistakes, but its not too late to fix them.
Ill transcribe her speech in full, because its devastating:
Youre right.
Frank is the only person who thinks this pregnancy is a good idea.
You have Frank on your side, and that should bother you.
You should be crying.
Not physically, not emotionally.
I will not change a fin diaper.
You are on your own if you do this.
(Im speaking, of course, on behalf of the Gallaghers and on behalf of myself.)
I really dont like or trust Sean.
Is Frank not enough?
But this was a good moment for him, and for them.
We see Ian walking down the street, and he catches his reflection in a store window.
Hes wearing his janitor uniform, and he doesnt like what he sees.
Later that day, Ian is still out perhaps hes not sure where to crash for the night?
The next time his eyes open, hes staring into one handsome face.
At the Gallagher house, an eviction notice is taped to the door.
Its the same one the neighbors received.
