Well, now we can add digging up your dead moms grave to recover stolen meth to the list.
We can be pretty scary too, if we have to, suggests Lip.
I mean, theyre lower-class-family scary, but not meth-drug-dealer scary.
He proclaims himself new Frank…or young Frank…or Francis he really cant decide.
The bills are starting to pile up for the Balls, which makes V slightly regret getting Svetlana arrested.
His time with breast cancer has managed to turn him into an amateur oncologist.
Fiona, who comes over for cleaning supplies (R.I.P.
the topless maid service), becomes his first patient when he teaches her how to self-examine.
He declares her good to go, while she cracks, Most action Ive gotten in weeks.
Im sure the blue condom guy from the seasons opening scene is still available!
More booze, of course.
His drinking and driving leads to him busting through someones living room like hes the Kool-Aid man.
The poop-filled baby diapers in the oven sure arent helping her bargaining power.
One of his fellow employees had a question but has been left speechless over Franks soliloquy on the subject.
Is it because my presence brings you peace?
Frank asks the young man.
He requests she use either Dad, Father, Francis, or Saint.
She requests his employee discount.
Neither of them obliges, even though, Frank does offer her $7 toward the supplies shes buying.
I give what I have to the poor, he says, much to her dismay.
Did you say inbred?
asks V, with Kevin adding, Did you say Kentucky?
Theyre interrupted by a Russian realtor hired by Svetlana to sell the bar.
This sends V off with Yevgeny, while Kevin and the realtor stay behind to talk breast self-exams.
He threatens to hurt the family if he doesnt get the drugs or $70,000 in 24 hours.
Theyre in love, meaning Debbie, whom Neal deems a horrible person, is out.
Talk of rehab falls on deaf ears with Youens, whos more interested in death than jail.
With Yevgeny in tow, V goes to visit Svetlana in ICE holding.
With Kevins family whole again, he calls his birth family, who are thrilled to hear from him.
And apparently, hes Bart from Kentucky.
Personally, Id stick with Kevin from Chicago.
With only $9,000 between them, the Gallaghers arent anywhere close to the $70,000 that Eric wants.
Wait, new working man Frank comes home and offers to chip in…$7.
So make that $9,007.
All right, time to go see Fiona.
Frank stays behind because he seems to be coming down with something.
This is some seriously sick s, declares Ian.
Instead of digging, Frank is speculating on what emotions hell feel next.
It wont be crucifixion since hes already been nailed to a cross by Monica.
It was a sex thing, I dont like to talk about it, he shares.
Carl has had enough of digging and grabs a bulldozer to finish the job.
But through teamwork, the drugs are recovered.
After this ordeal, Carl is ready to admit that Fiona was right.
But even with the two bags of meth, cash, and Carls hot tub (R.I.P.
Carls success with girls), theyre still $37,000 short.
Thats it, he declares, saying that half of the drugs belonged to Monica.
Theyre good to go.
Frank leads them out of the unit.
Thanks, Francis, says Fiona, with Frank Francis smiling and putting his arm around his daughter.
No, youre the one crying right now!
Now cleaned up and cleaning up her empty apartment, Fiona gets a visit from Mel.
Everyone was actually pretty well behaved, but lets go with Debbie for her general treatment of sweet Neal.
What did you think?
Are you enjoying the new and young Francis?
Do you think were headed for a Fiona and Nessa romance?
