Get it together, loser, declares Debbie.
Youens is a no-show at Patsys, which isnt ideal since hes the one theyre going to court for.
Not ideal for the morning of his DUI trial.
Attempts to clean him up in the shower instead end with Brad now also having Youens vomit on him.
Offer declined, proclaims the former employee of the month.
This collar is white; Ill take my talents elsewhere.
Thats cold blooded (she sure wont be awarded nicest interviewer of the month anytime soon).

When court returns from break, Lip takes the stand and does his best to help his mentor.

1 of a protest: Dont leave.
Ian must have skipped that chapter of the protest handbook, as he heads off for work.
Later, Ian and Trevor return to find everything and everyone gone.
I just want this to be over, Fiona tells her brother.
I dont care anymore, I just want to fix this.
Trevors interested; Ians not.
What the f is wrong with you?
asks Fiona, suggesting hes off his meds.
That doesnt sit well with Ian, who responds, Im just fing angry, as he storms off.

Lip pays his professor a visit and wants to know how you even get booze at a courthouse.

Youens says he never asked for help, prompting Lip to ask, Do you care about anything?
His mentor responds, I chose booze a long time ago.

Fiona isnt the only one worried about Ian.
Like with Fiona, Ians not very receptive to the opinion.

I want things to be okay between us, she shares.
According to him, things are okay, but he does make mention of larger concerns to consider.
The combination of that comment and his chilly demeanor surely leaves Fiona and viewers concerned about his current state.
And now hes officially added a fake kidnapping to his resume.
What did you think?
Is the beginning of the end of good Frank?
Are you worried about Ian?
