BWW Recap: It's a Nice Day For a White (and Black Zebra Striped) Wedding on SHAMELESS

Fiona and Lip are taking unexpected steps in their new relationships, while Debbie finds a new way to work out her aggression. Frank takes a page out of THE HANGOVER as he tries to piece together a bender that involved losing his latest insurance claim.

When Holly and the popular girls find out about just how Debbie lost her virginity, they confront then jump her. Thankfully, a handsome stranger stops the fight and sticks up for Debbie. Noticing the gym logo on his shirt, Debbie finds the gym and joins. Turns out the stranger is a boxer and learning boxing and self-defense is just what Debbie needs right about now.

Carl decides to become a drug dealer, however, math not being one of his best skills proves to be detrimental in his first outing. There's an interesting way to keep kids in school.

Frank wakes up in the middle of a park and is very excited to be able to go get his insurance payout he's been waiting for. However, when he arrives at the bank, he finds out that not only did he already receive it, he already withdrew the money and spent it. Frank spends his day tracing his steps to find out what happened to his $125,000. He bought drinks at the bar, a Porsche, gambled at a Chinatown Casino, hired 3 prostitutes for the weekend and then finally donated his winnings to a business friend named Buddy Diamond. (SCRUBS alum, Sam Lloyd guest stars). Frank finds out that his donation went to buying prosthetic limbs for homeless children and he immediately wants his money back. Things get worse when he goes back to his luxury hotel and the valet crew jump him for running over one of their co-workers the night before. To pay for damages, he gives them his Porsche and within 24 hours, he is back to nothing.

When lost luggage is accidentally delivered to Mickey's house, he accepts it and raids the bag. This gives Ian the idea to go to the airport and start claiming lost luggage. Is Mickey finally realizing the depth of Ian's disease? He looked very disturbed when he realized how crazy Ian was acting with his new business idea.

Lip takes Amanda up on her offer to spend time in Miami and arrives at her family's luxury mansion. However, he winds up hitting it off with her Dad who is an engineer and offers to get Lip a paid internship the following summer. I imagine this isn't going to please Amanda who is only dating Lip to piss off her parents.

Vee is still incredibly frustrated with her relationship with Kev since the babies have been born. As she tries desperately to hire a babysitter so the two can have a date, she gives up when he gets way too particular in the interview. Forcing Fiona to take her to a dance club, their night doesn't last more than a few minutes when she grinds up on a stranger on the dance floor with an all too surprising result. When she confesses this to Kev, it is revealed that their solid relationship may officially be on the rocks.

And Fiona and new boyfriend Gus (ONCE Tony-winner, Steve Kazee) have it off. So much that they decide on a whim to get married. When the band arrives at the diner to congratulate them, Sean looks on with skepticism, but everyone ups their tips and congratulates the newlyweds. It is only when Debbie calls that Fiona starts to realize she may have acted too spontaneously.

I can't believe Fiona married Gus. This certainly seems like the perfect time for Steve/Jimmy/Jack to show up. She certainly seemed to be showing signs of regret toward the end of the episode. Was that regret of the act or regret that it didn't even occur to her to involve her family or best friends? Or just another in a long string of reckless, chaotic and impulsive decisions she tends to make in her life?

Hopefully this new hobby for Debbie will put a stop to her echoing her sister's bad decisions. Maybe some boxing is just what this girl needs. But I'm still so worried about Ian. I think Mickey is slowly seeing the depths of his problem, but it's going to come down to Mickey admitting that his boy needs some serious help and that is going to take a lot. These two are definitely my favorite couple on the show which puts my investment in them so much deeper. With the support from the Gallagher clan, I hope Mickey can find a way to help him and not get rid of him.
