Plot summary
The debit cards that Debbie provided the family are declined, as she used their social security numbers, and the banks used the money she put in to pay their other unpaid expenses. Debbie becomes a union leader at her job, but realizes that her co-workers plan to go on strike for an undefined period.
Needing the money, Frank and Mikey steal some of Debbie's clothing from her storage unit. Frank tries to make a quick sale at the Alibi, but Kevin only pays him $100, which he proceeds to take back as Frank owes the bar more money. In prison, Ian is informed that he will received an early parole hearing, but Mickey is not content. Mickey is upset that Ian could once again leave him, after he did everything to be placed in the same cell as him. Lip is upset by Debbie's actions, as his payment at the shop was cut in half. He later visits Tami at the hospital, after she finally recovered from the surgery. While Tami likes Fred, she does not want to carry him and asks Lip to take him.
At Captain Bob's, Anne (Chelsea Rendon) flirts with Carl. Despite making clear he has a girlfriend, Carl nevertheless joins Anne to dine with her family. Liam (Christian Isaiah) visits the house in his street, meeting the owner, MaVar. While MaVar hates Frank and his family, he decides to spend the day with Liam. MaVar helps him learn more about the African-American experience, and even takes him to a baseball game. Seeing that Veronica has no friends to hang out with, Kevin decides to use Tinder to get girls to the Alibi to compete. Veronica kicks them out when she learns of Kevin's plan, although she ends up bonding with one of them.
Ian prepares to stab a man to suspend his parole, but Mickey stops him, after finally realizing Ian deserves to leave. To apologize, Mickey sneaks in a phone for Ian. Frank takes Mikey to a vet when he feels sick, discovering that he has a severe kidney disease. Requiring money for a surgery, Frank and Mikey steal the rest of Debbie's items in the storage unit to pay for the procedure. They use the rest of the money to buy beer and throw a party at the house to earn more money. Seeing the condition of his house, MaVar allows Liam to sleep at his house. With the party, Lip is forced to sleep at the Alibi with Fred. He is suddenly called through FaceTime by Ian, who is delighted to finally meet his nephew.
