Shameless has Fiona and Gus meet up again for Valentine’s Day.
Of course this is going to end well…
This Shameless review contains spoilers.
So, it looks like the Gallaghers are keeping the house.
Take the scene where Fiona Gallagher returns to the childhood home that she seemingly left forever last week.

Yeah, I wouldnt want to move in there either.
We were just waiting for the characters to catch up.
This is a curious moment, because it is quite clear that Gus is behaving like an intolerable asshole.
Obviously, were supposed to despise his pettiness.
But take a step back for a moment.
Especially for a wedding ring to a man she ghosted out of her life.
So is Fi or Gus the bad guy?
This is actually a potentially awesome development, and not just because they get the house back.
But in the process, she is going to implicitly condone his life choices as good ones.
At this point, is Carl now a major head of the household?
Even worse, she now has no moral high ground to stand on since he bought back their house.
But surprisingly, Carl is asserting himself in a way half of his siblings never have.
There is a wonderful potential here that will hopefully not be squandered in future weeks.
Meanwhile, Debbie is very much on course to keep her baby.
It seems almost impossible for her not to after this week saw her learn the sex of the baby.
As Frank says, Debbie went from being a tumor to being Debs after he knew her gender.
Nevertheless, this will also provide new storytelling possibilities.
Such as this week when the suburban family subplot took a drastic turn toward creepy-town.
Its also living up to itsShamelesstitle more than Lips professor drama, which hopefully came to an end.
It simply was yet another sexual conquest for Lip Gallagher.
