Happy Sunday TV fans! After watching Showtime’s Shameless season 9 episode 9, I realized that having a vision board will not solve everything, but it’s not a bad place to start and you might even end up surprising yourself with what you discover. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In tonight’s episode, “BOOOOOOOOOOOONE!,” Debbie takes on some more responsibility and decides that everyone is going to pay up or be left out in the cold. Meanwhile, Irish Ford pays Fiona a visit, Liam bonds with Santiago, and Lip meets Tami’s ex-boyfriend. My top 5 moments from Shameless season 9 episode 9 are:

“We’ll do 3.”
In this episode, we learn that Ingrid is pregnant, but there are already six embryos present. The doctor explains that she will need to terminate some of them so that Ingrid has a safe and healthy pregnancy, but Ingrid is not ready to let go. After first agreeing to three babies, she decides that she will be keeping all six. Frank does the math and realizes he will need to start saving up over a million dollars, but our guy Frank always has a scheme in the works.

“I didn’t make the name up.”
While Kev and V try to track down Santiago’s uncle, they also make time to prepare some drinks for the “Hobo Loco Man Competition.” The drink by itself is beyond disgusting and Kev tries to mix it with some cocktails so that he can win the competition. Some of Kev’s drink ideas include: “Hobo Rita,” “Napalm Gut Rinse,” and “Death,” which is a full shot of Hobo Loco with 4 ounces of Baileys. While I love the creativity here behind the Hobo Loco cocktail names, I’m not sure that anything can make this drink appetizing. However, Frank is inspired when he learns that he could potentially become the Hobo Loco Man spokesperson and earn $50,000. After all, Frank is pretty much the only one who can actually drink this, so I guess it’s worth a shot.

“I don’t want to mess your future up.”
After Kelly’s father threatens Carl with a gun, Carl begins to have second thoughts about their relationship, but not for the reasons you may suspect. Carl genuinely cares about Kelly and tells her, “I don’t want to mess your future up,” which is selfless and really sweet. When working on the vision board, Kelly realizes that she has been living her life for her father and that it’s about time she stands up for herself and what she wants. She tells her father that she does want to go to his dream school, but that she will do it on her terms, which include dating Carl and having sex with him in her bedroom. It looks like Carl may have found the one, but I’m still wondering if Kassidi may rise up from the grave anytime soon.

“He’s the guy kissing your chick.”
When I saw the name of the episode, I was slightly startled, but then I understood it when Tami’s ex-boyfriend, Boone, walked in the door. Lip initially feels out of place and unsure of what to do next when he finds out that Boone made a promise to marry Tami. After working out some of their issues, Lip and Tami realize they are ready to move forward with their relationship together and that it’s OK to show their feelings every once and a while. I have to say that I am liking this relationship so far, but let’s hope that Tami can treat Lip with love and respect because he deserves it.

“I don’t need anything from you!”
Poor Fiona is continuing to spiral out of control in this episode and it doesn’t help when Irish Ford walks in the door to ask for his tools back. Fiona tries to tell him that she doesn’t have his tools and that she hasn’t thought about him in weeks and Debbie and the Gallaghers have Fiona’s back when Debbie ominously says, “We thought about you though,” while holding a knife. Later on, Fiona’s anger continues to get the best of her and it even impacts her work. She later tries out boxing to see if she can channel her aggression, but this seems to only prove that Fiona is very capable of defending herself. After all, she is from the South Side. After getting a little bit of satisfaction from throwing Ford’s tools through his window, Fiona ends up on her front porch with Liam. Liam promises her that he will never disrespect women, even though he is currently keeping his options open, which is beyond heartwarming. Debbie decides to let Fiona and Liam back in even though they still owe her money, but hopefully Fiona will begin to “turn a corner” and pick up the pieces. Stay tuned!

When Kallie Bennett, a jaded teenage girl plagued by her alcoholic mother and her peers molded out of sheer bubble gum perfection, chases after Alice in Wonderland herself, she ends up lost in her own version of Wonderland, which forces her to face her utmost fears and introduces her to familiar characters with a dark twist. Among these characters is Ches, a gorgeous vampire with a conflicted conscience, who becomes Kallie’s guide and blossoming love interest. She also crosses paths with Queen Hartley, a manipulative witch who has the power to strip away one’s memories and imagination, which brings a bone chilling new meaning to “off with their heads.” In The Search for Alice, Kallie starts to realize that her Wonderland is just as frightening as her own reality and that she cannot always run away from her problems. She must figure out a way to defeat Queen Hartley and return home before it is too late, but she soon learns that escaping Wonderland means leaving Ches behind forever.
