Will Fiona's wedded bliss continue from her impromptu wedding last week? Probably not on the South Side of Chicago with this family. It's cute that she tried though, isn't it?

Frank continues to take advantage of the family of his liver donor David's kindness for free food by convincing his Dad that he has his son's soul. When David's mom tries to put a stop to it, Frank comforts her on her loss and winds up sleeping with her. Yeah, Frank is pretty disgusting. As Sammy waits on Frank to buy her a new RV, she gets kicked off the lot by the realtor and moves in with the Gallaghers. Frank tries to stall her until Debbie finally reveals to Sammy that Frank is full of crap and has no intention of buying it for her. In fact, the insurance money is already gone. Sammy doesn't take it all that well and tries to kill Frank at the donor's house. David's parents finally admit that he's not their son, especially once the mother admits to sleeing with Frank.

After Vee accidentally cheated on Kev last week, she encourages Kev to go out and do the same to even the score. Kev tries his best at the local playground and winds up getting assaulted with pepper spray. He eventually finds someone at the bar who offers to comply. However, when he goes through with it, Vee is really hurt. In the middle of their conversation, the babies start crying and Kev starts to go get them. They realize how bad their marriage is and Vee tells him to choose between her and the kids or she'll leave.

Debbie has finally found her comfort zone at the gym and throws her entire self into it. She asks advice on how to bulk up quick from her new crush, Derek.With her newfound skills, she again confronts the popular girls and winds up beating the crap out of them. Carl decides to film it and put it online and makes some cash on it as well. Carl's new career is hardly taking off as he still can't understand fractions and math to get his drug deals right.

Mickey accuses Lip of losing his edge and invites him along to destroy an organic coffee house with AK-47's. When they arrive, Lip can't go through with it, so they leave him behind. Lip barely escapes and hides in a dumpster from the cops. Lip comes back to his construction job and gets assigned to a dangerous job. He decides to cut break short and go back to school to get a job on campus to get out of the neighborhood and continue his college career.

Mickey finally approaches Lip and asks him about seeing a therapist. When Ian leaves the bar with an older guy, Mickey finds out and beats up a random bartender. Ian confesses to Mickey that he did some porn to make some extra cash and used no protection. Mickey flips out and realizes that Ian is legitimately sick. He forces him to pack his stuff to take him to a hospital. Instead, Ian runs away and takes baby Yevgeny with him.

Fiona and Gus prepare to tell the family they're married. Sean is still skeptical (and a little jealous) of their marriage. Angela shows up again to see Fiona and finds out she's married. Fiona has to cancel on dinner when she and Sean head out to find fellow waitress, Jackie, who has overdosed on Heroin. Jackie survives barely, but it scares Fiona. She only admits she is married to Lip as he is about to leave. Fiona confesses her fears to Gus and he feels the same way but is still 100% in. Angela comes back into the diner the next day one last time, but she's not alone. It's Jimmy!

I really do enjoy Fiona and Lip's relationship. I think they have worked through a lot of issues together and as Lip has grown up, he has taken on a partnership with her to raise the kids. They are a good brother and sister team and I know she wants nothing more than for him to get out and realize his potential.

I'm still super worried about Ian. As Mickey is finally starting to see the depths of his disease, I don't know what this is going to do to my favorite couple. But I'm still overwhelmed at how much Mickey stands by him and works with his family to help him. Mickey is such a great character.

And finally, FINALLY the Fiona knows what we all know that Jimmy is back. The very second she found a little bit of happiness he shows up. So typical, but I am greatly looking forward to her reaction. I'm predicting (and kind of hoping for) violence.
