Kevin feels really guilty about what happened to Yanis. Yanis on the other hand, is still as foul mouthed as always. Elsewhere, Veronica and Fiona have a really sweet and lovely moment when Fiona confides to her about her pregnancy.
An interesting new development for Ian is that he begins to wonder what he should do with the rest of his life now. Theres a camera shot during the episode, a self reflective one (literally), that reiterates this feeling of "what next", "what if". I feel that after everyone in his life has been constantly telling him what to do, how to act and so on, he’s now wondering if his life can be more than what it is. Especially after this episode.
A bit of much needed Lip and Ian bonding takes place during the episode. It was so wonderful to see these brothers have some much needed scenes together again. However everything is not what it seems and my heart broke for Ian. I can’t say much but Cameron Monaghan has a way to move people, as we all know, as does the director. The camera holds his face in the foreground of the shot (in front of other objects within the scene), allowing the emotion in his eyes to be more apparent and it's brilliant.
There's this final scene with Ian that hints at something romantic, the way the scene was shot and the way Ian was looking seemed highly suggestive to me, this might annoy some fans. Regardless, I’d like to know what you all thought of that scene and any other scene from the episode after it airs on Sunday on Showtime.
“No, you look like a criminal.”
“If he left you like this, then he doesn’t deserve you.”
“You’re the one who sleeps around, not me.”
“You don’t know me.”
“No white girl, I don’t know you.”
“No, I’m a feminist, I believe you have that right.”
Shameless airs Sundays at 9 on Showtime. I'd love to know your thoughts on the season so far, share them with me in the comments below. I'll do my best, as always, to answer any questions you may have.
