Ramshackle though it is, it was theirs.

(Well, kind of.)

Last week, they were served an eviction notice.

Still, lets visit everyone separately this week before we dive into that particular disaster.

In this case, it was baking snickerdoodles for the man who saved his life.

When he stopped by the firehouse, he learned that his savior, Jason, is gay.

And he works on the gay fireman shift (???)

with all of the other gay firefighters (?????

Caleb, however, feels like perfectly single and perfectly handsome and kind.

His response makes Ian look like its the first time hes felt normal in forever.

Then, the firehouse alarm begins blaring, and everyone snaps into action.

I like the idea of Ian becoming a firefighter.

He has always needed and enjoyed structure, something which the Gallagher home lacks.

He was so eager to join the military that he left school and home early, after all.

I cant get my head around how Debs is so ignorant of how the world works.

They know the value of a dollar and a lack of one.

But her hand-waving, everything-will-be-fine attitude isincrediblynaive, even for a teenager.

Debs pretends to be 18 so that she can swoop in once the wife dies.

I was humiliated in front of my peers by a gay Jesuit, Helene tells Lip once she resurfaces.

It shouldnt make it worse that it was a guy, but it does.

Its more than that.

She turns away from him to barf once more.

The next morning, Lip wakes to an empty bed with a note to meet Helene downstairs.

I vaguely remember an extremely earnest conversation, she says.

Sorry if I was a bore.

Pretend it never happened, and well put this weekend behind us, okay?

  1. More likely, theyre going to break uprealsoon.

But at least he got to experience a bidet.

Svetlana is the most well-adjusted character on this show.

But the brake cable and the throttle cable look alotalike thats a design flaw, he says.

But Yanis drops one of the cocktails in his lap and accidentally sets himself aflame.

As he screams, spinning in circles, Kevin feebly calls out for help but its no use.

Soon, Yanis stops spinning.

This might sound callous, but…this kind of worked out for the best, right?

I mean, speaking fictionally, this is the best-case scenario for everybody involved.

He set himself on fire!

Thats not Kevs fault.

Sure, hell carry the guilt forever, but at least hes not going to jail.

Anyway, hes not budging.

The house is to go up for auction.

But first, she needs to raise $3,500 for a down payment.

After the rest of the Gallaghers pitch in as much as they can, Sean loans her the remainder.

As he reveals, he spent many years in jail for accidentally killing someone during a drug-related scuffle.

Heroin, killed a guy.

Thats all that comes to mind.

Okay, she says, solemn.

Its something shell either deal with later or not at all because theyve got to head to the auction.

The inevitable happens: They lost the house.

Fiona is devastated, and its unclear what their next steps will be.

But what of Debs?

And a legitimate, long-term solution for any of them?

This time, the Gallaghers might be well and truly fed.
