Frank's new liver medication comes with tragic side effects. Ian tries to get away from Fiona's hovering. Lip has to keep himself occupied during a day of temptation. Carl makes a ...

No, absolutely not.

We're not gonna be showing you
a recap of last week

because you were too busy.
Get the hell out of here.

All right, all right,
stop your whining.

Fine, here you go.

If you have a vagina,
you're safe.

- Vagina Safe Zone.
- [Veronica] But--

There's no way we are still
on that rapiest bar list.

Who the hell starts
a new school

with three weeks left
in the school year?

Fucking Satchel Boy.

All right, well,
you guys just relax.

Just die naturally.

I know of no finer candidate
for West Point

than Carl Gallagher.

Damn right, you don't.

- Oh!
- Bitch, I'm not asking.

[Carl] So you're a lesbian?

Yeah, I am.

- I can't do this again.
- Do what?

Falling in love
with a straight girl.

It's too painful.

Just go.

What is this?

Kids are working up
a few ideas

for if you do wind up
in prison.

Gay Jesus kids don't want me
to cop a plea.

Want me to take it to trial,

get as much publicity
for the cause as I can.

Yeah, and what's
your lawyer say?

Could be looking at 10 to 15
if I don't take a deal.

Holy shit, Mo.

- You won.
- [crowd chanting] Mo White...

You're a congressman again.

[both laugh]

My sister says
you have my kid.

Xan.
I want her back.

Do you want
to stay with me here?

Yeah, that'd be good.

Mom?

I knew you'd come back
for me!

Need a lift to Patsy's?

No, driving myself.

I gotta take Ian
to a meeting with his lawyer.

His plea hearing
is tomorrow.

[Ford] He can't make
his own way?

[sighs]
To his lawyer or in life?

Both.

No.

Grab you from Patsy's
at 2:45, then.

[Fiona] For what?

The Hadid exhibition.

- The Ha-what?
- [Ford] Zaha Hadid.

First female architect
to win the Pritzker Prize.

Blueprints haven't been
public until now?

Oh, shit, is that today?

You fucking with me?

You've been talking about it
nonstop for six months.

Yeah, I'm fucking with you.
I'll meet you there.

Tickets are for 3:30.

If you're late,
they won't let us in.

And where is it?

♪♪ Came here looking... ♪♪

The Art Institute.

That's in Canada, right?

See you at 4:30.

3:30.

Fucking with you.

What are you doing, Debs?

Sanding a circle
around my dip canister

so I don't look like a poser.

You are a poser.

[Lip] Jesus, how many more dogs
are down there, Carl?

[Carl] Just Rocco
and Bernice,

and she'll be dead
by the end of the week.

Does anyone know
what cocktail attire is?

It's a little early
for cocktails,

- even for a Gallagher.
- [cell phone chimes]

It's a West Point mixer
this afternoon.

Says I need cocktail attire.

Says it's a suit.

Who goes to drink
in a suit?

Ah, fuck,
Fiona's almost here.

What now?

She wants to take me
to my meeting.

- [Lip and Debbie] Don't do it!
- [Liam] Bad idea.

She thinks I should take
an insanity plea.

Insanity?

Yeah, bipolar.
Off my meds.

How long would you get
for that?

Lawyer thinks two years,
plus probation.

What are your other options?

Well, I could plead guilty,
get a reduced sentence,

five to ten years,

or I could plead innocent...

Well, what about that video
of you blowing up the van?

...and they'll find me guilty,
so I get 10 to 20.

[door opens, closes]

[Fiona] Hi.

Hey.

Oh, what smells
like dead dog?

It's dead dog.

I'm taking care of it.

You ready?

I told you,
I don't need a ride.

Oh, I'm taking Liam to school,
so it's on my way.

- Anybody else?
- [Lip] I'm good.

I'm headed to Patsy's,

trying to make things work
with Alex.

[Fiona] Who's Alex?

My girlfriend.

Your girlfriend?

You gay now?

- Yes.
- No.

[Fiona] Okay.

You two, let's go.
Someone should wash

a dish around here
once in a while.

[Lip] Hey, buddy,
have a good day.

All right, well, ease up,
you drunks. Ladies first.

[Kermit] Can I have a beer, V?

Can I take off
my coat first?

[Veronica] Hands off, Tommy!

Frank?

Hey!

Did you sleep here again?

I-I drank a bit too.

Two bucks?

You drank two bucks'
worth of booze?

No, that's all that's left

from the Mo White
campaign fund.

[woman] You Kevin Ball?

You a health inspector?

Uh, no.
[scoffs]

Jehovah's Witness?

- No.
- IRS?

No.

Then yes, I'm Kevin Ball.

Uh, Alison de Marco,

from the Women's Equality
and Empowerment March.

We're very impressed
with what

you've been doing
with Vagina Safe.

We're looking to add a few men
to our list of march speakers,

and as head
of the Vagina Safe initiative,

you're at the top of our list.

[chuckles]

That dentist who bought
your bike--

check didn't bounce,
did it?

No. Why?

He totaled it already.

Had to strip it for parts.

[Toby] Lip!

A little help?

What is it
with these rich assholes

who can't ride bikes?

Ah! Whoa!

Jesus, Toby.

[Toby laughs]

My bad, man.

Price of victory, dude.

Victory in what?

I do a little street racing.

Slid across the finish line
on my ass, but I won.

Think you can fix it?

Yeah. It's gonna take
a while, though.

No worries.
I got a few backup bikes.

[power surges,
winds down]

What the hell?

[wrench clatters]

[electricity crackling]

That's gonna take a while.

[sighs]
Guess we go home.

Yo.
Come out to a race sometime.

Never know where they are
until the hour before.

- I'll text you.
- All right.

Mo White.

More like
"Mo lily-livered asshole."

Wouldn't take me
to Washington.

Says I'm
a political liability.

So I-I misappropriated

some campaign funds.

He's a child molester,
for fuck's sake.

Frank.

- I'm gonna start a recall.
- Frank.

I put him in there.
I can take him out.

Frank!

Your piss is brown.

Oh.

Yeah.

That is brown.

- [Frank thuds]
- For fuck's sake! Damn it.

Frank?

Uh, Kev?

Fuck you,
necktie piece of shit.

[sighs]

Hey. You headed
to the West Point thing?

Uh, yeah.
What are you doing home?

Uh, there's
a power outage at work.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

And Xan?

Yeah.

Is that Liam's clip-on?

[exhales]
There you go.

And...

- bam, you look good.
- All right?

Yo, I could stay back
and hang out if you want.

No, no, I got a list
of things I wanted to do,

but, uh...go get yourself

a spot at West Point,
all right?

Okay.
All right.

[door closes]

Hey, anybody home?

Cool.

Um, you didn't have
to order all this food.

I wanted to.

I'm not ready to give up
on us just yet.

I know I may be
a new lesbian,

but I think I can be
pretty good at it.

[laughs]
Sorry, you sound like Jasmine.

Who's that?

My second grade girlfriend,

until I found out
she was playing doctor

with Ricardo Jimenez
at naptime.

- [scoffs] What a bitch.
- Mm-hmm.

Not as bad
as Shawnte Watson, though.

She would only
closed-mouth kiss me

while she would tongue-kiss
boys behind my back.

Damn.
Third grade girlfriend?

Second grade still.

No, third grade was, uh,
Ronnie Carson.

She would, uh,
tell her mom

we were getting married.

[Dr. Singh] Your body
is rejecting your liver.

I've been taking
my medication.

You've been on AssimiPro
since your transplant.

After about five years,

it can tend to lose
its efficacy.

I'm going to switch you
to Hepatocycline.

Top of the line,
just approved by the FDA.

Pretty much
zero side effects.

We'll start you on a megadose
and an IV right now,

and then we'll send you home
with some pills.

How much does that cost?

With insurance,
maybe 20 bucks a month.

No insurance.

You don't have insurance?

Correct.

Eh, then you're looking
at two grand a month.

- What? A month?
- Jesus.

You could do the generic,
Hepazone C--

been around
since the '70s.

How much is that?

Around 30 bucks a month.

Great, start me
with a megadose of that,

throw in some Vicodin,
and my interracial friends

and myself will be on our way.

[Dr. Singh] I need to go over
the side effects with you

before you decide
that Hepazone is right for you.

I never met a drug
I didn't like, but hit me.

Here we go.

- Sporadic blindness...
- [Veronica] Blindness?

...paralysis of the face...

Wow.

[Dr. Singh]...skin rashes,

joint pain,
hair loss,

gout, insomnia,
mouth ulcers,

halitosis,
degeneration of the gums,

testicular soreness,

severely heightened
emotional sensitivity...

[scoffs]

...and erectile dysfunction.

His willy won't work?

It's possible.

Oh, no worries, Doc.

No way my member
won't march.

I'll take the generic.

Right, thanks for the ride.

Sure.

[car beeps]

Where you going?

I got a couple minutes
before I gotta be at work.

Ha, no way.
Absolutely not.

I'm not gonna
even say anything.

I'm just gonna listen.

[Fiona] Are you kidding me?

He is pleading insanity.

- End of story.
- If he admits he's bipolar,

suddenly our entire movement
is about mental illness.

[Fiona] So you want him to go
to prison for ten years?

He'll get less
if he pleads guilty.

- Excuse me.
- [Fiona] And even less

if he pleads insanity.

Hey!

Does anyone wanna hear
what my lawyer has to say?

Look, I know this judge.

- [Phil] He understands--
- Excuse me.

If you make him
plead insanity,

you are putting lives
at risk.

Kids all over the world
say Ian saved them.

He put his time in.
Now you save 'em.

They don't want
Gay Mary Magdalene.

They want gay Jesus.

Well, they can't
have him.

He belongs to his family.

[Geneva] This is bigger
than family.

Nothing is bigger than family,

and if you send my brother
to prison for one second

longer than he needs
to be there,

I'm gonna torch a van
with your pixie ass in it.

You don't faggify people.
That's not how--

how much time'd you do

Eighteen years, on and off.

How bad was it?

Depends on your definition

Mouth-and ass-rapings--

beatings by the guards,
food sucked--

You were mouth-

I did the raping.

What's up?

We gotta go find Ian.

He jumped bail. I think he's
skipping out on his hearing.

How do you figure?

He dyed his hair
and his drawers are empty.

Bus station or train station?
Which one you want?

Uh...neither.

Sounds like he doesn't want
to be found.

[Fiona] I don't care
if he wants to be found.

He's a fugitive,
and he's our brother.

He gets caught like this,
he's gonna get sent away

for way longer than ten years.

You're okay
with him risking that?

No, I'm not okay with that,

but it's not up to me.

He's an adult.
He made a decision.

It's the wrong decision.

Did you go all Fiona on him?

That is not a thing.

Look, if you push someone
too hard in one direction,

they're just gonna run
three times faster

- in the other direction.
- Or you can shove them so hard

in the right direction
that they do what's right.

That's why it's called
the right direction.

So bus station
or train station?

Neither.

Fine.

And I think that, like,
make sure we're stapling them

really tight, 'cause remember
at the last rally

when they all fell off?
Yeah.

No, that's how we learned

Okay, this is all looking
really, really good.

Make sure that
we're stapling it on...

not speaking at the march,

- Hello.

[Alison] Uh, Kevin,
glad to have

a man on board who understands
the dangers we women face.

Honored to be a part

have zero attention span,

so we've gotta keep

Uh, order's right there.
Stage one.

Each of you stand,
give the first

so the next person knows

turn to speak.

Charisma,
what's your first line?

[exhales deeply]

Twelve years ago,
I was gang-raped

in a bathroom

near the level two
east concession stand.

[Alison] And last line.

With my family's support,

I can finally get out of bed
during football season.

Applause, applause, applause.

Uh, when I was 16, I woke up

Blah, blah, blah.

Hell, some asshole

- What?

[Regina] Yeah.
A guy pulled

my dress off my shoulder

Licked my nipple.

Never seen him before
in my life.

- Jesus.
- [Veronica] I won't get

Welcome to womanhood.

What the hell is this?

Did you film yourself

I filmed myself
not fucking you as proof.

Proof of what?

Not fucking you.

You lying piece of shit!

Why didn't you just
leave me here?

I didn't want you

Ian went AWOL

after his lawyer meeting, and--

[Ford] And?

Well, I had
to go look for him.

Why?

What do you mean why?

Because he's my brother.

Your adult brother.

He's not your
responsibility, Fiona.

The only responsibility
you had today

was to come
to an architecture exhibit

that I bought tickets to
six months ago.

That was your
responsibility.

You're gonna lecture me
about responsibility,

Mr. Lone Wolf,
"I never loved anything

that didn't involve
reclaimed wood"?

You don't have brothers
or sisters.

You left your mother
in Ireland.

You fathered children
all over the world

that you seemingly feel
no obligation to take care of,

so when in your life

have you ever felt
responsibility

- to anyone?
- Now.

- Yeah, to who?
- To you.

[Dr. Singh] You've got a few
first-degree burns

in your scrotal
and penile regions

but no permanent damage
to the twig and/or berries.

We're gonna keep you overnight,
just to monitor

for any irregularities
in your heartbeat,

but you should be able
to go home tomorrow.

[Veronica] Thanks, Doctor.

Thanks for nothing.

My dick's not only soft.
It's charred.

Looks like a Fourth of July
barbecue down there.

You better get
your shit together, Frank.

Kev and I are not
gonna spend our lives

running you back and forth
to the hospital

every time Liam calls--
not for your liver

and definitely not
for your penis.

Don't blame me.
Blame the aristocracy.

Poor people have sex,
Veronica, a lot of it,

because you know why?
It's free.

You pay for movies.
You pay for beer...

- You don't pay for beer.
- [Frank]...but if you're

a halfway decent-looking
person,

you can get laid,

but the aristocracy

doesn't want poor people
getting laid

because that means
more poor people being born,

so they take our erections.

They jack up the prices
of the drugs that work

and push us into drugs
that steal our manhood.

An erection does not
make a man.

Making good choices
makes a man,

and right now,
you have to choose

between your penis
and your liver,

and, Frank,
make the right choice.

[laughs]
Uh,

Uh, I mean yes, but...

my name is Ian Gallagher.

All right, Mr. Gallagher.
In the case

of the state of Illinois
versus Ian Gallagher

for the felony crime

of arson,
how do you plead?

[Ian] Your Honor,
a young man

was being forced
into a van

against his will

to be taken
to a conversion camp.

His would-be captors
wanted to deny him

of his true nature, and I
stopped that from happening,

so I will not apologize
for that,

and the people
who were trying to change him

were his family,
people who were supposed

to love him
for who he was

unconditionally,
like my family...

[choking up] has loved me.

And to not love--

that is the true crime.

And at the end of the day,
everything I did,

I did in the hopes

that we would learn
to love each other

the way that Jesus taught
and God intended,

and, more importantly,
the-the way that we all need.

But I understand
there are laws,

and I broke one.

I set fire to a van,
and in doing so,

I turned what I intended
to be a movement of love

into a movement of anger.

Went too far, Geneva.

I was crazy to let it go
as far as I did.

Truth is, I am bipolar,

I was off my medication,

and I was in a manic state
in which I was not

in control
of my faculties, so...

I plead not guilty
by reason of insanity.

[crowd yelling]

- [gavel bangs]
- [judge] Order! Order!

Any more of that, and I will
clear out this courtroom.
