Shameless

In the season eight premiere, the Gallaghers find themselves with money to burn as Carl sells their (meth) inheritance from Monica. Meanwhile, Fiona swears off random hookups to focus on her new apartment building; Lip deals with the personal sacrifices that come with sobriety; and Frank emerges out of a meth-induced haze to make amends for decades of depravity.

Frank joins the workforce for the first time as he relives his 20s, while Fiona grapples with whether or not to evict someone from her building. Lip works out a plan to sabotage Charlie’s chances with Sierra (recurring guest star RUBY MODINE); Ian and Carl make a troubling discovery about Monica, and Kev says his goodbyes as he prepares to go under the knife.

A violent meth dealer threatens the Gallaghers, forcing Ian, Carl, Lip and Debbie to find a way to pay him off without involving Fiona. In the meantime, Fiona is battling a vindictive tenant; Frank attains sainthood; and Lip has to care for a down-and-out Professor Youens (recurring guest star ALAN ROSENBERG).

Fiona has a surprise visit from her past, and is forced to reevaluate her life. Frank gets involved with Liam’s school and becomes the most popular dad in the PTA, while Lip learns that getting laid sober is harder than he anticipated. Ian crosses a boundary with one of the kids from the youth center. Meanwhile, Kevin and Veronica go on a trip to meet Kevin’s birth family.

Fiona tries to raise the profile of the neighborhood, while Ian helps Trevor raise money for a new youth shelter. Lip stands up to a friend and gets hurt. Carl loses his scholarship and gets creative with securing his tuition, while Frank teaches the parents at Liam’s school all about the working class.

Fiona is forced to reflect on her own life after a lonely tenant dies and the duty of cleaning out the apartment falls upon her. Meanwhile, Debbie has a pregnancy scare and winds up in a compromising position; Lip enlists Carl's help to search for his sponsor and Frank enjoys having his first-ever credit card.
