Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Frank goes on the wagon, which pleases Carl and Debbie, but a skeptical Lip doesn't believe their father's newfound temperance will keep him from the bottle for long. Elsewhere, Fiona scrambles to find a better-paying job, which leads her to overlook some suspicious behavior of Steve's; Kev and Veronica open their house to a foster child and get quite a surprise when they learn her family history; Ian pursues Mickey; and Sheila worries Frank has lost interest in her.


Episode 8 of 12

In before the random bitch-post about how it's the same show every week/they shouldn't have a wacky scheme every week/etc.

Glad Lips' girlfriend's rack is getting some additional airtime.

I'm surprised Frank wouldn't go through the DTs quitting like that.

Also, Fiona in that waitress outfit:

I think the show has been great so far. Agree that this was the best episode yet. This is far and away the best thing on Showtime right now.

You'd be at the bottom of the ocean right now if Dexter heard you say that.

Actually, I don't think there was really any wacky scheme where the whole family pulls together going on in this episode. That was refreshing.

Odd that Steve was away most of the episode and we really didn't see what was up with that storyline at all.

Frank's alcohol study. Fiona and the diapers. Veronica and the foster child.

This is not a complaint, btw.

All these characters are really great. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Ian storyline will play out when the guy's sister eventually finds out what's going on. But I can't say I'm too excited about the Steve/Fiona storyline right now.

And a big to the show for bringing the titties every week.

They didn't really feel like scams though.

Frank quit drinking for 2 weeks as part of a study and will get paid for it. How is this a scam?

Veronica and Kevin take in a foster child for a week and get paid for it. Sure, their main intention is to get paid - but they're doing exactly what they're getting paid to do.

Fiona and the diaper thing was minor.
