There is obviously a lot that we don't know about what happened to Ian in his time away and he doesn't want to talk about it either. I'm sure the show will fill the holes in how he went off the rails from the army to sparkles. Hopefully it makes sense.

Imagine if everyone had a great friend like Vee

The ending was great but I suppose it's asking for too much for Frank to be dead?

I wonder if Sam will become the guardian of the younger kids or maybe Sheila? I guess Frank is sort of an option, but being so sick, not sure how that would work.

I thought it was interesting that a lot of this episode was from Lip's perspective. He got to see how Debbie was on the edge of screwing up her life and Fiona had no idea what was going on. Ian is still under age and Fiona had no idea where he was for weeks. Apparently on drugs. That would be fine, when she was just their sister, but that's not the case anymore. Leaving coke where Liam could get it would have been bad even before she was guardian. I wonder if Lip will quit school because Fiona can't handle it all on her own.

thanks for the gesture but this board doesn't allow scans of recent articles

Mike is too damn good for Fiona. He should have forgotten about her but the fact that he responded to Carl's plea shows what a good guy he is

Absolutely no followup to Ian? Lame

I still don't believe that Liam is Frank's son so I liked Sami's reaction to seeing that he was black

I really love Joan Cusack/Sheila - it doesn't matter how irrelevant the character is to the other characters, the show wouldn't feel the same without her so I'm glad she is still there.

The actors playing Fiona and Lip probably gave their best performances yet in this episode. Powerful stuff.

Up until now, I always saw Mike as a generic Ken doll type, but hot dang, he was oozing sex in those scenes.

I don't think there was anything "generic Ken doll type" about Mike. He IS just too good for Fiona and his head case brother.

I just want someone, mainly Veronica to slap some sort of sense into Fiona. I know that Veronica's life and choices aren't always perfect, but Fiona has way too much to lose, with a family that has always depended on her to be there for them.

Her and Mike were never going to make it, but she willing went for his brother. I hated that scene, in which Mike apologized to her about being a guy who cares about his family and her life. He truly cared about her and her family.

While, his brother made sure to be the first one to strike Mike down, in telling him about having sex with her. He used her and she let him use her.

Veronica doesn't even seem to think Fiona did anything wrong. V was at the party too and never questioned the wisdom of doing coke with a 3 year old in the house, never mind just leaving it where he could reach it. I think Kevin and V think the mistake wasn't not watching Liam better, but the underlying dysfunction of the situation is lost on all of these characters.

Lip gets it, but it almost seems unfair that he's the one coming down on Fiona. He has a chance to get out because she took the load off his back, but that doesn't change the fact that he's right.

Plus, it just seems so unfair that she didn't even bring the coke into the house. It feel into her lap at just the wrong time.

So Ian went off the rails because of Mickey? Fair enough but I was hoping for something more, given this is Shameless...

Those Lip and Fiona scenes were intense - I don't get how the emmys etc. can continue to ignore the acting performances on this show.

      -- Good to see the (wading) pool set return, but they really need to do something with the static landscape outside those large windows. It looks so fake. -- Joss showing up at the pool because she's "working with" Dalton is all kinds of hilarious. Te WSB is special LOL -- Was Joss late for her court appearance because she was strutting around the pool in high heels and a bikini? Make it make sense. -- Alexis moves from one "She can do 30 years for this" storyline to another. What a lawyer. -- Maurice Benard had another really bad day. He's clearly reading cue cards in every scene and spends a ton of time looking at the ground. When everyone in the Gio story is making a pilgrimage to visit him like he's the Godfather, that's a problem. -- I am glad that Gio is going to the pool tomorrow.

      Holy hell, this episode... I had a lot of theories about what Anita's secret entailed, but I didn't think it involved this. What happened to Barbara was extremely tragic. Is that why Sharon is so angry with Anita? Because she basically holds her responsible for Barbara taking her own life? Wait, does Sharon even know? She has to know, right?  I can't even imagine the kind of ramifications this is going to have on the entire town, let alone Anita's family. What are they going to think of her when they find out what really happened between Anita and the other Articulettes? What is Vernon going to think? I doubt he's going to be too happy about what Anita did? I wonder if Anita is going to feel so filled with guilt and shame over what she did that she might even attempt to take her own life. People think that Ted cheating on Nicole and having an illegitimate child was earth-shattering? I think this is going to be even more so, or maybe on the same level as Martin's secret, (but we won't even know for sure until it's eventually revealed, whenever that is).

      For me she just doesn't really work on Y&R, in part because of the performers around her and the style of the show.  Her second run as Tina did not utilize her in the best way much of the time but I think they did still find some of those softer moments, or Andrea did, and she just fit better with the performers around her.

      Didn't Katie call The Nose out a few weeks ago when Katie overheard her talking to Zende? OC, there was absolutely no follow-up. Maybe it'll come out when Daphne returns to drop a surprise on Carter. We all know Carter talking about having a family to Daphne that night is typical B&B foreshadowing.

      Tamara Tunie was exhilarating today. All her scenes were emotional, touching, and heartbreaking.

      This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag

      Bill is about to fall out, lol. Why would Hayley even feel like she had to prove that she was pregnant to Dani? Maybe she likes this non-stop roundabout of drama or perhaps she's triggered because Dani actually was on to something. Anita really was an opportunist and now it's caught up to her.

      She was a natural going all the way back to her audition reel.    It's a shame that Rauch and co really amped up the more OTT aspects of Tina's character in the 2nd half of the 80s because Evans proved she could play understated and vunerable without the theatrics. It's also why she was able to slip into playing a recast Patty Williams on Y & R a few short weeks before the climax of the story with Jack Abbott.  She had natural instincts, and knew when the dial it back and when to let loose.

      Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing.  And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter?  That person deserves an Emmy!  I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines.  So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp.  Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes.  We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it.
