Firstly, the baby is coming! I can't believe we're already at Episode 10, this season, time really has gone by.
Onto my preview, Svetlana and V continue to develop their marriage plan, so Svetlana can get her green card. They really go all out, Svetlana gets to know V more, a bit more than Kevin. V also gives Svetlana a cute pet name. The pet name is a really nice touch of believability. However this marriage scam may hurt Kevin’s ego in the process and that definitely comes into play during this episode.
Debbie learns quickly that, maybe having her child being born in this commune isn't the best idea, even if their Maternity Tent is relaxing, clean and has electricity. The midwife, in particular cements her view on this.
Ian takes his EMT Test but not before going to get tested for HIV with Caleb. Not everything goes well with Ian's EMT Application which leads to him being even more honest with Caleb. Ian does shine when taking his test though, and I was so proud of him, because it reiterates what Mandy said in the most recent episode, "Just because we were born here doesn’t mean we’re going to end up here." That quote was just so powerful to me, (and it's from my personal favorite episode of the season so far), it was Mandy's way of giving her best friend some hope in a sometimes hopeless world.
Fiona gets to see some Alibi regulars in a very new, very explicit light and it's quite funny. We also might see her in a glimpse of her wedding dress. She's trying her best to make the most out of this engagement and is trying to plan a nice marriage ceremony compared to her most recent one. Emmy Rossum will always be a mirror of excellence in any and every scene she has.
One particular strong moment, a short scene, involving two Gallaghers takes place during the episode, a cry for help is seen and the response is selfless, and rare, something that I felt lead to something else happening near the end of the episode. Because of this, I think everyone will understand why it was done this way. I don't want to say anything about it though.
The final shot of the episode, the final scene is just heartbreaking. The music and the look on this characters face breaks my heart, but sometimes it's too late.
“Working.. the corner?”
“Careful, once cougars get a taste, they come back for more.”
“One time when it was cold, he gave me his jacket.”
“Weddings should be special.”
“You’re hook?!”
“So you want me to lie to them?”
“Okay, you seem cool.”
“I've had a really crappy couple of weeks. ”
If you have any questions, leave them below, I'll do my best to answer them. Don't forget watch Shameless, this Sunday at 9|8c on Showtime. (The photos used in my preview are screen shots from the promo & sneak peek released by Showtime).
