Plot summary
Fiona (Emmy Rossum) confronts Jimmy (Justin Chatwin) over his disappearance, as he never communicated with her. Jimmy explains that he was forced to leave his life behind and do slave labor in Brazil. He escaped, and returned to Chicago with the help of his partner-in-crime, Angela (Dichen Lachman). Their conversation is interrupted by Mickey (Noel Fisher), who reveals that Ian (Cameron Monaghan) fled with Yegveny.
Frank (William H. Macy) moves back at the Gallagher household, but discovers that Sammi (Emily Bergl) has already moved there. In Fiona's absence, Sammi takes charge as the family's caretaker, implementing curfews for the kids and refusing to give food to Frank unless he pays for it. Lip (Jeremy Allen White) is back at college, now working as a resident assistant. Debbie (Emma Kenney), meanwhile, has started high school, and Derek (Luca Oriel) helps her intimidate bullies by talking about her new boxing skills. Veronica (Shanola Hampton) and Kevin (Steve Howey) have decided to split, shocking Fiona.
Ian has left Chicago, planning to take Yevgeny to Florida. He struggles in buying food and diapers for Yevgeny, so he makes a stop in Terre Haute, Indiana to have a sexual encounter with a man for money. However, he leaves Yevgeny in the car, and a startled woman calls the cops to save him. When Ian returns, he gets into an argument with the cops and flees with Yevgeny, before collapsing after suffering a breakdown. Jimmy visits Fiona at her home, and they reconcile and have sex. However, Fiona is shaken over having cheated on Gus (Steve Kazee). During another encounter, Fiona is unable to move forward with sex, and goes back with Gus.
Frank's condition worsens and he is taken back to the hospital. The doctor notes that his heavy use of drugs is affecting his liver and prescribes him medications, warning him that he will not get another liver. Mickey, Lip, Debbie and Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) go to Indiana to bail Ian out and take him back to Chicago. While Mickey is worried Ian will not seek help, Ian actually allows himself to be checked into a psych ward. Mickey and Ian share a hug before he is taken away by a doctor.
