Ready to disown his family, Frank takes Liam under his wing and starts a new life barricaded on the top floor of the Gallagher home. Fiona, meanwhile, adopts a new, relaxed attitude and starts running Patsy's Pies on her own terms. In order to save the restaurant, she cleans house and hires a new staff. Debbie gets into trouble in the stroller business; Ian tries out heterosexuality; and Carl finds himself forced into abstinence when he has to spend 72 hours not thinking about the opposite sex after his circumcision.

Kevin, Veronica and Svetlana start a topless maid service. At the shelter, meanwhile, Frank makes new friends to replace his old family - leading them to a for-sale house converted into the Gallagher Home for the Homeless. Plus, Debbie's new lifestyle comes to an abrupt end; Carl gets a syphilis scare; Ian struggles with a breakup; Lip struggles with humility at his new internship; and with Fiona on the run to clean up after her siblings, business at Patsy's hits the skids.

Having used all her money to buy the Laundromat, Fiona takes a DIY approach to renovating the place. Convinced by Youens (recurring guest star ALAN ROSENBERG), Lip agrees to go before the school board in hopes of getting reinstated. Frank tries to ingratiate himself back into the Gallagher house. Meanwhile, Kev's trust in Svetlana wanes even further when the “titty” van goes missing.

Monica (recurring guest star CHLOE WEBB) is back! And her first task is to help Debbie get back Franny. Meanwhile, Frank learns of Monica’s return and tries to avoid her, Ian has his first fight with Trevor, Lip tries to mask his relapsing alcoholism and Fiona's laundromat gets its first bad review. Meanwhile, Kev and V seek out marriage counseling for their woes with Svetlana.

Worried that he and his new Gallagher clan are going to lose yet another shelter, Frank devises a plan to change neighborhood perception through goodwill. Meanwhile, Fiona plans a speakeasy party for Patsy’s Pies in order to drum up more business. Kevin and Veronica argue over what to do with Svetlana’s newly arrived father, Yvon (guest star PASHA LYCHNIKOFF).
