BWW Recap: Come on Feet, Don't Fail Me Now on SHAMELESS

I mean... it's not like the name of the show isn't SHAMELESS, so we shouldn't be surprised at scenes that are truly shameless. And yet... wow. Right? Wow.

Debbie, shopping for baby swag, meets a new guy named Larry who takes an instant liking to her. It's pretty creepy when he kisses her stomach on their first date, but when he shows up at her Lamaze class with another pregnant girl, he confesses he has a fetish for pregnant girls. Debbie, wisely, leaves him in the dust. Also, did she say she fell for him? In the course of a day? Maybe slow your roll, just a tad, Debs.

Caleb and Ian are starting to genuinely fall for each other. Ian is studying for his Paramedic exams and is a big hit with Caleb's friends. As they get closer, they both confess their darkest secrets. Ian admits he is bipolar, but it is currently under control and Caleb admits that he is HIV Positive and really wants Ian to get tested. (Uh yeah, Ian, way overdue!) Caleb is genuinely good for Ian which suddenly makes me very concerned for his safety. I wonder when Ian will tell Caleb about Mickey.
Carl wants out of the gang after he saw what happened to Nick. When he tells Frank this information, Frank decides to take over for him as he likes the cash flow. In a grave error, he hires his friend, Gareth (Guest Star Rick Fox) to accompany him as his muscle. When Frank approaches G-Dog's associates about a position, they give him drugs to deliver to Indiana. Gareth, Frank and friends decide to snort all of it and replace it with baby powder. Guess who that doesn't sit well with?

Fiona officially moves in with Sean, which his son Will isn't thrilled about. Fiona tries desperately to bond with Will. When Carl admits to V how much trouble he's in, he begs her not to tell Fiona. She keeps her promise... and makes Kev do it. (Man, I love these two.) Fiona, justifiably concerned, goes with Will to the Gallagher house where Carl finally admits what happened with Nick. Sean agrees to go see G-Dog with Carl to pull out of the gang officially. They agree as long as Sean and Carl leave all their clothes and Sean's car with them. When they arrive back at the apartment, Sean finds Will with a handgun he stole from the Gallagher house that belonged to Carl. Infuriated, he tells Fiona he will probably lose visitation rights and custody of Will. Fiona takes Carl home and does a weapon sweep and pulls out his corn rows.

Queenie has now moved in and taken over as the head of the household. She forces organic family breakfasts and vitamins which isn't nearly as bad as she and Frank's loud and graphic sex life. How can I say this delicately... hmmm... Okay, so you know when you have really good pizza and then after that you can't really eat any pizza, you just want the good stuff? In fact you aren't even hungry anymore? So that's kind of what Lip is going through, metaphorically, of course. When he pays a visit home, Queenie offers some reflexology. And let's just say that he works through some things and... becomes hungry again while she massages his feet. Later back at the sorority house, he has four pizzas... and enjoys them all. We good? We all on the same page? Great! Let's never talk about this again.

Sean has been nothing but good to Fiona and Carl so he is justified in his anger here about Will. But, is this the end for the two of them? If he does, in fact, lose his son over this, I don't see any way of him forgiving her. She is in a healthy relationship, Ian is in a healthy relationship... if this were any other family on any other show, I may allow myself to be happy for them. But that is not the case. Instead, I fret. Good things don't last with these kids.

And Debbie's... encounter... is that a real thing? Nevermind, I don't want to know.
