Plot summary
Frank (William H. Macy), still recovering from his liver transplant, is living with Sheila (Joan Cusack). Sammi (Emily Bergl) has moved in next to Sheila's house, and she has been picking up on some men at local bars. While Sheila is annoyed over her behavior, Frank constantly ignores Sammi.
Lip (Jeremy Allen White) has finished his first year at college and returns home, where he is surprised by the gentrification. Fiona (Emmy Rossum) works at the Patsy's Pie diner, and she has a friendly relationship with her new boss, Sean (Dermot Mulroney). A woman, Angela (Dichen Lachman), has been leaving large sums of tips to Fiona without explanation. Ian (Cameron Monaghan) has been allowed to stay with Mickey (Noel Fisher) at his house by helping Svetlana (Isidora Goreshter) with their baby, Yevgeny. While Mickey runs a truck scam with his brothers, Ian has been having random sexual encounters with some strangers.
Kevin (Steve Howey) and Veronica (Shanola Hampton) navigate their new life as parents. Frustrated by Kevin's obsession with the babies, she decides to cover for him at the Alibi Room while he takes care of them. When she returns, she finds him sleeping with the babies. The conflict between Sheila and Sammi escalates, to the point that Sheila decides to change the locks on the house. During this, Frank shows a partner his "job": he has been working on a new beer named Frank's Milk of the Gods. When they try it later on, they are both disgusted by its flavor. The following morning, Frank wakes up naked on a bench, and an art class has used him as reference for painting.
