Shameless (Episode 1.04)

Every episode of Shameless begins with William Macy, as Frank, telling the viewing audience to watch what they missed last week, usually in Frank’s inimitable style: “For those of you who are too fucking busy here’s what happened last week on Shameless.”
The day starts with a broken water heater and dirty children but quickly goes downhill when good little Debbie steals someone’s two-year-old and brings him home to play with, primarily as a replacement for “Aunt Ginger” from last week’s episode.
By the time the family discovers the “crime” the entire police force is looking for the boy. Taking him back would lead to incriminating questions, and if the Gallagher family isn’t ripe for a criminal investigation, no family is. So they create an elaborate plan that involves Debbie lying, something she’s not keen on doing.
Frank is still living with Sheila while Sheila’s husband Eddie returns home. Their nympho daughter Karen begins to put the make on Frank. To Frank’s credit, (and it’s difficult to give Frank credit for anything), he runs away to his favorite watering hole. Eddie seems to have accepted his fate as a man without a family, even when he’s living with them. The compulsive, phobic Sheila goes on a cupcake making binge.
“What am I going to do?” she asks Franks. “Stop?” he replies.
