I think Fiona changed her mind about ripping up the check bc Debbie passed the GED so easily whereas Fiona had to really study. Ian has a job that requires smarts, Carl is an entrepreneur in training. She finally realized that she is the least naturally intelligent one of them and it was her only real shot at getting…

A year of college isn't being educated. He's intelligent but so are a lot of people. I think military school is perfect for Carl. The military was where a lot of troubled kids used to get straightened out. I think he likes being guided.

What's interesting is that if they all have that %of Native American heritage they are entitled to money. I'm surprised that they don't look into it. My friend is way less Cherokee and gets money. I don't know why they are so in need bc their income and family size would give them free college, help with utilities,…

I agree but as someone who grew up in a crazy home I don't think her behavior is far fetched (cocaine incident excluded). The utilities are on, Liam is clean, food is in the fridge. She's not abusive. She's not screaming or berating the kids. I'm confused about the Debbie situation bc I think her behavior last season…

That's a good idea. I actually think that instead of finding a man, Debbie would be smart to get her CNA and try to get a live in position.

That's not true, either. Many parents put things on the line to get ahead. I think you're being a little too judgemental on the responsibilities of parents. I agree on some of your criticism but thinking that anything that rocks the boat is wrong is unrealistic. You could get a good job, move the family cross country,…

I have a feeling that she accidentally double sold it and the papers were her copy, not just something to look over. When she said she had a week to be out, I thought she signed a few weeks ago cuz they would have to give her 30 days by law?

I can also see it timing up with her needing to rent the apartment for the income so she's not having to get rid of the lady. She's seriously going to need a constant eye on her. It's about to be dangerous for her to be alone with her memory issues. Definitely a fire hazard to the building. I know it's just a show but…

I agree that it's dumb to buy a business that relies on machines if you have no money or a handy boyfriend. Bad time to be single.

They aren't worth much but she could get a loan off the bar but I'm thinking if she did that there may be legal recourse for Kev and Vee. The best Svetlana can do is get enough money to start fresh in another city cuz she's not trying to go back to Russia. I personally think that she's tired of being in survival mode…

That's not true. Parents date, go to school, work, leave kids with grandma for a week, etc. Putting dreams on hold for 18 years is ridiculous unless you dream of being a drug addict hooker.

The old lady is probably going to need a nursing home or a caretaker at least.

I think a business like she bought is a good idea in the long run. Worst case is she sells to the original people interested. I'm still thinking that the old lady double sold to Fiona and the investors.

Wasn't it winter when Fiona was on house arrest? I thought she fell on ice trying to get on her property in time.

It's not unusual for fucked up kids to become fucked up adults. You think turning 18 makes you free but you're still the same person.

You guys act like most local businesses are owned by Wharton graduates. They are owned by regular, hard working people who learn on the job. You think the old lady went to laundry business school? It's 80% hard work 10% brains and 10% luck

She can't afford to work part time. Even if she's trying to wean the others, she's still effectively running the household. Do you have an idea what heat would be in that big drafty home? ConEd has high rates.
She's already behind schedule. She needed a big move.

I understand the Lip/Fiona thing. Fiona and family accepted that Lip was "better" than them but he threw away his shot. Lip wasn't the savior and Fiona wasn't the loser. That's why she threw it in his face, she realized it's not about your potential, it's about the actions. It's easy to say you're going to do it when…
