Icarus Fell And Rusty Ate Him doesnt get off to the humorous start that the intro might suggest.
With no answer, Fiona lets herself in, stepping into an episode ofHoarders.
She also discovers that Mrs. Cardinal actually has a real dog.

Oh, and that dog happens to be eating Mrs. Cardinals very naked and very dead body.
Back at the Gallagher household, Liam has joined his father in the working force.
The youngest child has been hired by Carl to help with his basement rehab business.
And Carl needs all the money he can get because the school isnt helping with any of his expenses.
Ian (kind of) jokingly offers $5,000 to kill Fiona.
Murder is a capital crime, Ian, responds Carl.
Id do it for 10.
What cant Carl Gallagher do?
Hes also been named employee of the month at work.
When youre hot, youre hot.
So we are poor, retorts Liam, to which Frank replies, Relatively, yes.
Brad is still missing, so Lip has formed a search party.
Their first stop is Brads house to talk to his wife.
She doesnt want him back unless hes sober.
Impressive drunk strength to be able to cut that off.
Despite their differences, Kevin, V, and Svetlana are officially a throuple, again.
But Kevin is feeling a bit left out during sex.
When his job is done, Svetlana pleasures V like Kevin has never seen.
Shes a woman, she knows a womans body, V contends when Kevin expresses his disappointment.
If thats the case, then he suggests that maybe he should start hooking up with guys.
Youre not gay, points out V. He fires back, You dont know that.
I might be gay part gay.
As he confuses gender-fluid with gender liquid, V tells him to go suck a dick.
Maybe I will, he insists.
He wasnt lying; Kevin is immediately on the hunt.
Ian leaves when a stranger pays for Kevins coffee and muffin.
Are you trying to f me?
Kevin asks the guy.
Because its not a bad thing if you were.
The guy says he wasnt, he just tries to do a good deed once a week.
wonders Kevin, who then winks and says, Have a nice day.
His confusion continues as he walks down the street and checks out every man in sight.
Time to check in on Debbies ecstasy-fueled road trip.
She wakes up in a Missouri hotel room in bed with the beauty school fella.
They didnt use protection, which has Debbie convinced that shes pregnant.
I can feel your sperm attacking my egg, she tells him.
With 67 hours to get a morning after pill,Shamelessturns into24with a ticking clock counting down.
Wait, Debbie still isnt 17?
Ive officially lost track of the ages of the Gallagher kids.
You could tell me that Liam was 23 and Id believe it.
Thankfully, Debbie finds a lady willing to buy the pill for her.
Frank isnt wasting anytime putting his new credit card to work.
What did he buy?
Nope, a car.
He surprises Liam, taking his son for a cruise to pick up some hoes.
And shockingly, he wasnt talking about women, but Ho Hos.
Maybe Frank really is a changed man or hes just hungry.
Luckily, V stops by and the BFFs make each other feel a little better.
Seeing Fiona and realizing shes not attracted to her helps V realize she isnt gay.
V insists she wont let that happen.
After a day of confusion, Svetlana encourages Kevin to experiment with a young stud at the bar.
The two men go into the bathroom, where the guy drops his pants.
He might not be gay, but I admire his dedication to finding out if he was or not.
Later, Kevin updates V on his failed mission.
I tried, but Im not even part gay, he shares.
Just a boring hetero dude.
He admits hes jealous and wanted to make her jealous.
Good luck Im not sure anyone can dominate like Svetlana can.
Apparently, he was there with a woman whos still there passed out.
Youens insistence that they give up on Brad doesnt sit well with Lip.
How the f am I supposed to make it if Brad cant?
You got no faith, then thats on you.
But Im doing this.
Tired of getting beat up, Lip punches Brad in the ribs and throws him in the car.
While Carl and Lip bond over saving an addict, Fiona and Ian are still beefing.
Fiona tries to make up, but Ian isnt having it.
Hey, were family, she says.
Theres nothing more important than that.
Ian disagrees, believing she cares more about money.
Im not going to apologize to you or anyone else for trying to better myself, contends Fiona.
But Ian gets the last word, declaring, I dont know who you are anymore.
Shes not a businesswoman; shes a business, woman!
Lets check back in on Debbie Bauer.
The fight with the lady landed them both in jail.
No24ripoff would be complete without the threat of terrorism.
Brad thinks his kid is better off without him.
Everyones old man is an asshole, says Lip, who would know.
And somehow, that arm would still be able to put up 20 points per game.
Meanwhile, Franks run of good luck may have finally run out.
His company is on the verge of going out of business, so Frank has been let go.
He actually takes the news very well, especially considering he just bought a brand new car.
Men like us, we land on our feet, he tells the corporate employee.
Were diligent, dependable, honest.
We got gumption, can-do spirit.
Temporary setback at best.
I just hope this doesnt undo all of his progress.
Well, on the other hand, bad Frank was always so much fun!
Its not the only thing she kept; Fiona couldnt bare to let animal control take the dog.
The most shameless character of the week:Mrs. Cardinals dog.
Eating humans, even if dead, is not okay around these parts.
What did you think?
Will losing his job turn Frank back into the old Frank?
