I literally stalked around my house for a few minutes afterward I was so pissed off at this episode. The entire time she was partying it up, I was pissed because Liam was there. Fiona is supposed to be the responsible one, and while she's been on this kinda self-destructive track for the last few episodes, none of her actions were affecting anyone other than herself... that all came crashing down and in a major, major way.

That ball started rolling before the brother showed up. She'd been neglecting the kids to stay with her boyfriend. So she's had no idea of anything that's been going on outside of her own bubble.

Yes, but like I said, none of her behavior up to that point had had any direct effect on anyone other than her (and her boyfriend).

I think Lip and Debbie earlier in the episode (and Sheila all season) were foreshadowing of what happened at the end. Fiona had already been gone in spirit, now she's going to be gone for real. |

I can't fault that. ****ing the brother and exposing a toddler to coke is of course a whole different deal. But as has been stated, that's why they call it Shameless.

I was out of town and bored in a hotel Monday night. Was flipping through and ended up on the O.D'd kid episode. Never even heard of the show until then.
WTF. |

You have to watch it from the series beginning to get full depth of how ****ed up it is. And funny...

Wow. Yeah, maybe this one isn't for you. It doesn't get any less disturbing outside of the kid and the Coke. That was a new low...

Occasionally, never more so than this week, it's perverse in an 'over the line, Smokey' way. But usually more in a 'man, this family will do anything to get by' way. It truly is about a family without shame, they'll steal, they'll scam for lawsuits or government $$, they'll deal drugs, eff over their friends, whatever it takes to put $$ in their pocket and stay under the radar. And you'll marvel at times what they come up with and how brazenly they go about it.
