He is typically the only one who is happy to see her when she pops up after months of absence and he insists that she was the love of his life. Obviously, he’s had the most intimate connection with Monica. He let’s Sierra support him, and even though he thinks that he ruined his own life, he seems serious about giving up booze.įrank is spiraling. He goes to visit an AA fellow to talk about his urges. He arrives back in Chicago just in time to be with his family after Monica’s death.Įven under such trying times, Lip is still trying his hand at sobriety. But at the border he decided that a life of crime and hiding were no longer in the cards for him after working so hard to turn his around. It was a horrible decision that could have completely derailed Ian’s progress. In episode 11 Ian had traveled across the country with his escaped convict ex-boyfriend Mickey, leaving his current boyfriend, Trevor, clueless. I was also relieved to see Ian back with the family. But he’s still curious about oddities like how much he can make if he let’s another guy “jerk him off.” I missed him. It’s clear that the sense of responsibility he felt when he was a big time drug dealer is only getting stronger while he’s at military school. The morning after Monica’s death, Carl arrives at the Gallagher home with groceries and makes breakfast for the family. One of the highlights of the episode for me was Carl’s return. It's hard for them to be deeply affected by the death of someone who has been even less present and reliable than Frank. And the Gallagher kids know that not much is going to change in their day-to-day lives. Luckily Monica's father shows up and pays for the entire thing after beating Frank up for not being good enough. The Gallagher kids mainly brace themselves for the memorial preparations that must be made. But This Is certainly not Us and it isn’t the emotional, heart-wrenching moment that you’d expect from the loss of such an important family figure. A doctor breaks the news that Monica is dead. The finale, episode 12, opens with Lip, Fiona, Debbie, Liam, Kev, and V in the hospital.
It was a shocking twist, especially given that Monica had only recently re-entered her family’s life. Episode 11 was set to be a happy ending (in a Gallagher way) until Monica’s medical emergency left an air of doom. They had just renewed their vows and laced everyone’s drinks with molly during a celebration the night before. It may have set Shameless on a new path when it returns next year.Īt the end of episode 11 last week, Frank awoke and found his beloved Monica, the mother of the Gallagher brood, unresponsive next to him. But the finale packed a punch that I'm sure no one saw coming. I would forget to watch episodes after they aired and struggled to find substance for my recaps. This season of Shameless was arguably one of the slowest moving.
