Plot summary
Frank (William H. Macy) pours gasoline over the homeless shelter, preparing to burn it down after being kicked out. He is approached by Liam, who asks for his help as his school is closed. Frank accompanies him, and discovers that the school was permanently closed due to lack of students, who chose to go to a new private school built on an old church.
Debbie (Emma Kenney) prepares for her visit from DCFS, and she decides to take desperate measures; she drops out of high school after completing her GED exam, and proceeds to marry Neil (Zack Pearlman) to build a positive image of her family. Fiona (Emmy Rossum) starts organizing the laundromat, but discovers that the building is in a dilapidated state. To complicate matters, every reparation leads to more contractors, increasing the costs of the venue and forcing her to take money from the safe in Patsy's. Etta (June Squibb) is also unable to help, as she starts exhibiting symptoms of dementia. When Debbie asks for Fiona to accompany her to officiate the marriage, Fiona refuses to go.
Frank visits the private school, and is disgusted by how they ruined other people's education. He is forced to leave, although he stays on the sidewalk to insult the kids and teachers as they leave. The principal finally meets with Frank, explaining that she sympathizes with him, as they both were punished in the same church. She surprises Frank by offering to let Liam enroll in the school for free, and Frank accepts. Lip (Jeremy Allen White) continues his relationship with Sierra (Ruby Modine), and is visited by Youens (Alan Rosenberg) with some news; he issued a formal apology on his behalf and the local university granted his request to appeal his case.
While Youens and Sierra ask him to attend the hearing, Lip is not interested. That night, he goes out with Sierra while she leaves her son Lucas to spend the day with his father, Charlie (Chet Hanks), a recovering drug addict. Their date is interrupted when Charlie abandons Lucas, and Sierra regrets trusting her ex again.
Kevin (Steve Howey) and Veronica (Shanola Hampton) are fed up with Yvon (Pasha Lychnikoff) in their lives, so Svetlana (Isidora Goreshter) promises to take care of the situation. They are shocked when Svetlana, in blood-splattered clothes, arrives and proclaims that Yvon is officially gone from their lives. While Veronica is willing to move past whatever happened, Kevin is still shaken as he is unsure of Yvon's fate. Ian (Cameron Monaghan) and Trevor (Elliot Fletcher) continue their sexual relationship, with both agreeing to experiment with different positions. Frank prepares Liam for the school, and is moved when he says "You're a good dad" and hugs him. Fiona talks with Margo (Sharon Lawrence), who warns her that she cannot risk all her money on the laundromat. Fiona considers giving up the laundromat, but changes her mind the following day and deposits the $80,000 check in Etta's account.
