Shameless

In the season six premiere, it’s fall again in Chicago. Frank is still mourning the loss of Bianca while his newfound appreciation for life is freaking the Gallaghers out. Fiona is determined to get Ian to take his meds and to get Debbie to the clinic for a pregnancy test.

Debbie's determined to keep her baby. Fiona's determined to persuade her to abort. Trying to prove Fiona wrong about her ability to raise a child, Debbie carries a bag of flour around all day while going to school, but quickly realizes people are not as accommodating to mothers and babies as she hoped.

Debbie turns to Frank for support. He teaches her how to work the welfare system to her advantage while they plan Fiona's abortion intervention. Meanwhile, Kevin and Veronica (series stars Steve Howey and Shanola Hampton) visit Yanis (recurring guest star Will Sasso) in hospital and learn he's been paralyzed. V won't let Kev confess so he tries to make amends, but when Yanis arrives home and sees the two Lisas (recurring guest stars Jenica Bergere and Lee Stark), he tries to kill them with Kev's van.

Fiona confronts Patrick (guest star Brent Sexton) about the eviction notice, but the house is in foreclosure. Her only choice is to get a mortgage from the bank and bid on the house at the upcoming auction. Ian bakes cookies for the firehouse and discovers he was saved by the shift of gay firemen.

Debbie’s presence at the Wexlers’ is welcomed by Erica (guest star Ever Carradine), but not by Tyler (guest star Michael McMillian). Frank tells her to up her game while he helps Erica through his “cancer concierge” process. She manages to be a shoulder for Tyler to lean on — which secures the guestroom in their house that Frank’s determined to share.

Ian's relationship with Caleb gets more serious; Lip is called to appear before a disciplinary committee.
