Agreed, totally, but a custody battle makes for much better tv

Thank you! I couldn't place where I knew her from!
In this case, that's up for debate, Debbie was begging for money, punching homeless people and is now living with someone with a brain injury and a fixed income and she has no job.

You can see Fiona has a good heart and the best intentions. I feel sorry for Lip, but he is being a real douche to Fiona. He knows that she bet against the house for that Laundromat, and now that she's in trouble, he would rather be self righteous than give her a hand. They will all end up homeless if they leave her…

I can't imagine Mickey being better off after having been in prison, that's for sure.

Debbie is smart enough to know that she doesn't stand much of a chance retaining full custody when the grandmother can provide a stable home.

Maybe because he understands how much like him he is and when faced with that, you had better start looking for the good so you don't spiral into depression, lol

I agree! Frank doesn't get nearly enough credit. Of course you hate him, but he really is fascinating, and you can constantly see how the way he has lived his life is now affecting every one of his kids

Does he know he isn't Ian's father? I don't remember if he was ever confronted on that.

That's why him calling himself a cockroach is so spot on. He just crawls through the borax and lives on to infest another episode.

Don't forget that she was Franks go-to during that time. You can't come out of that unscathed.

I didn't think of that!

She didn't marry him yet. Fiona didn't show up to the courthouse.

Once you utter one of their words they have to abandon it like a newborn chick and leave it to die, Myles.
Harriet's abuela stealing her away is a gift and Debbie needs to embrace that. Make amends, get some visitation for yourself, get back in school and get yourself out of that Frank situation for a relationship. (I…

I wish he could have bought a strap on personality too, because it appears he wasn't born with one of those either.

Frank always seems to do something good after he does something really shitty. He's been doing that since the beginning

And each new personality is more and more unlikeable.

Yes on the DMX!! Everything about Ian's story seems so contrived! Maybe being a straight woman I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that for someone who has been doing the giving he seems to be very in the dark about doing the taking.
Chet Hanks as the junkie ex was a stroke of perfect casting with no acting required.
Anybo…

As a parent and aunt of teenagers, they can be real assholes. We're just not used to seeing them portrayed like that on tv

Totally right. The woman didn't remember and Fiona totally took advantage. Go back and watch again.

Maybe I missed it but did Jane not have a phone where she could simply call the cops rather than to have to cut FBI guys thumbs off?
How does Bridey know all about Bens mother, how does the FBI guy link Jane to pedophile guy based on dog hair on the blue jacket and a dog adoption, yet stupid Nina can't check to see if…
