Plot summary
Fed up with Fiona (Emmy Rossum) not taking responsibility for the finances, Debbie (Emma Kenney) decides to become the head of the Gallagher household. She forces the siblings to pay their due money, or she forbids them from using the shower and even changes the locks to prevent them from entering.
To cheer Santiago (Anthony Gonzalez) up, Kevin (Steve Howey) and Veronica (Shanola Hampton) travel to Indiana to locate his uncle and reunite them. They locate him at a restaurant, and as they ask for him, they accidentally reveal he is an illegal immigrant, unaware that a cop is behind them. The uncle tries to flee, but is arrested by the police. Despite being warned by the doctors of possible health risks, Ingrid (Katey Sagal) chooses to be pregnant with sextuplets, shocking Frank (William H. Macy). While Frank claims he is ready to support his new family, his children do not think the same. As he looks for ways to find job, he is approached by a team that wants him to take the title of "Hobo King" for an incoming experiment, and he accepts after being promised money.
Despite his young age, Liam (Christian Isaiah) is forced to contribute to the Squirrel Fund. He teams up with Santiago on a scheme to earn money by having Santiago lift A/Cs. Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) is scolded by Kelly's father, who opposes to their relationship. Carl convinces her father that he has grown as a person, while Kelly (Jess Gabor) makes it clear she will continue seeing Carl. At Patsy's, Lip (Jeremy Allen White) sees Tami (Kate Miner) being kissed by Boone (Anton Narinskiy), her soldier ex-boyfriend who is visiting to pay respects to her late mother's memorial. In an attempt to make her jealous, Lip sleeps with Tami's sister, Corey (Maddie McCormick).
Ford (Richard Flood) shows up at the Gallagher household for his tools, but Fiona angrily kicks him out. When he later shows up at Patsy's again, Fiona angrily lashes at him in front of the customers. To ease her tension, she attends boxing lessons. Her coach flirts with her, but Fiona rejects his advances. That night, a drunk Fiona throws the tools on Ford's house, shattering his windows. Lip talks with Tami, confessing to his actions. However, she is not angry; she is actually content that they finally get to understand their own problems, and aim to fix them.
