3. Home Sweet Homeless Shelter

Frank (William H. Macy) has moved in to a homeless shelter with his one-night stand, Dollface (Arden Myrin). When Frank notices similarities between her and Monica, he decides to dub her "New Monica." The officers of the shelter state that they will have to find a new shelter as it is soon to be closed. Frank, having disowned his family, takes Dollface and a few other homeless people to form his new "family."

Kevin (Steve Howey), Veronica (Shanola Hampton), and Svetlana (Isidora Goreshter) commence their topless maid service while dealing with the sudden arrival of Svetlana's intimidating father, Yvon (Pasha Lychnikoff). While they dislike him, they decide to hire to work at the Alibi while they run the business and take care of the babies. Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) is pursued by Luther (Peter Macon), as he accuses him of giving gonorrhea to Dominique (Jaylen Barron). When Carl asks her about it, she dismisses his concerns, prompting him to visit the doctor again for a new test. Lip (Jeremy Allen White) dislikes his activities at the internship, but is pressured by his boss to stay.

Frank tries to get his new family food at Patsy's, but Fiona (Emmy Rossum) forces him to leave. Frank then takes them to an open house, where he claims the owner of the house gave him permission to stay. When the realtor calls the police, Frank takes all the people from the shelter to live with them, citing that the realtor has no evidence against him. The police, while suspecting Frank of lying, allow him to stay, and Frank retrieves wasted food from dumpsters for the inhabitants. Ian (Cameron Monaghan), still shaken over his break-up, goes off the rails when he tries to help a schizophrenic woman into the ambulance.

He breaks protocol by unrestraining her hands, allowing herself to be released and jump into a car, almost dying. Ian keeps his job, but his colleague Sue (Alicia Coppola) asks him to take a break. Debbie (Emma Kenney) is also caught stealing clothes, forcing Fiona to leave Patsy's to convince the owner not to press charges.

After his test results show he is negative, Carl follows Dominique, discovering that she is cheating on him with a college student. He shows the evidence to Luther, who gets a SWAT team to raid the house. Fiona is scolded by Chad (Tate Ellington), who tells her that Margo, his boss, will not tolerate her constant absences. Fiona agrees, but is also fascinated upon learning that Margo built so much after dropping out of high school. Inspired, she informs her siblings that they will be taking care of themselves when at home, including personal necessities, and also makes them put her at the bottom of the emergency contact. Veronica arrives, showing them that Frank has opened a shelter, the Gallagher Home for the Homeless, where nuns provide food for the homeless. Liam abandons his family and goes with Frank, referring to Dollface as his mother.
