Plot summary

After taking the plea deal, Ian (Cameron Monaghan) makes arrangements at his house before he is set to go to prison, where he will begin his two-year sentence. To prepare for prison, he asks Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) and Kelly (Jess Gabor) to teach him how to survive and fight inmates.

Max (Neal Bledsoe) informs Fiona (Emmy Rossum) that the retirement home investment needs an influx of $25,000. When she isn't able to take back the initial $100,000 investment, Fiona decides against moving in with Ford (Richard Flood), causing an argument. Kevin (Steve Howey) and Veronica (Shanola Hampton) are visited by the girls' teacher, Sister Francis; she asked them to bring an object that display their parents' love and their daughter brought a dildo. Kevin and Veronica are forced to talk with the head of the school, Father D'Amico (Bob Saget), to forgive their daughter and themselves.

Lip (Jeremy Allen White) starts a job as a sponsor to Jen Wagner (Courteney Cox), a famous actress. Jen resists Lip's methods, so he is forced to become aggressive to get her to stop drinking. Jen slowly grows to accept Lip's help and even dines with his family. Frank (William H. Macy) takes Liam (Christian Isaiah) to a psych ward to find a "new" Monica, and is surprised to find Ingrid (Katey Sagal) subdued again. Ingrid is released by her ex-husband, Randy (Andy Buckley), and claims not to know Frank. He abandons Liam and follows her home, stating that she likes her for who she is.

When Ford does not return to the apartment, Fiona tracks his cellphone to apologize to him. However, she is astonished to find him at a house, where he lives with his wife and child. Ford claims that he is going through a divorce, but Fiona breaks up with him and drives off. Distracted, she crashes the car onto another. She refuses Ford's help and walks off. The following morning, Ian shares an emotional goodbye to his family and enters the correctional facility. As he gets into his room, he is joined by his cellmate. He turns, and is surprised to learn that his cellmate is Mickey (Noel Fisher). Mickey reveals that after being sent back to America, he informed on the cartel he worked at to get room privileges.
