Happy Monday TV fans! After watching Showtime’s Shameless season 10 episode 5, Debbie reminded us that “when there’s money involved, a Gallagher’s got nothing but time.”
Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.
In last night’s episode, “Sparky,” Ian returns home from prison, but is slightly confused when he walks into his old home. Meanwhile, Tami adjusts to motherhood, Kev has a disturbing reunion, and Debbie refuses to back down when it comes to Derek’s death benefit.
My top 5 moments from Shameless season 10 episode 5 are:

“What’s with you and J. Lo?”
Kelly has returned for 48 hours, but she is already attempting to claim her territory, recognizing that Carl may have feelings for Anne. Anne doesn’t seem too bothered by what is going on, reminding Carl that she is no one’s side piece.
After discovering that Kelly has been with a guy named Mitch and is now in some serious need of Penicillin, Carl has an honest talk with her. Kelly doesn’t say that she wants to break up with Carl, but it looks like he is free to take some time to see how things go with Anne.
Personally, I think Anne is the better choice, but we’ll have to see how this goes.

“I like your style.”
V has definitely discovered a hidden talent, rocking her power suit with pride when she goes off to her new side job to “deal drugs,” as Kev hilariously says. V is quite convincing and comes up with one sob story after another to compensate for her lack of knowledge about the medical drugs.
When V meets with the last doctor of the day, she can see right through her bullshit, but tells V that she likes her style and invites her to the cookout, which will be the ultimate place for V to connect with even more doctors.
It looks like V is on her way to fast success and she deserves it!

“Share the joy.”
Ingrid’s ex-husband returns with Frank’s babies and he tries to make a run for it, now finally admitting that the babies are actually Carl’s. Anne’s family hilariously hangs on to every word, turning this into a real life telenovela, translating that it is “an immaculate conception and the stupid one is the father.” I’d say that is a fair recap for sure.
After trying to escape this burden, Frank has a change of heart and suddenly sees dollar signs, recognizing that he can sell one of the babies on the black market.
After all, ‘tis the season to share the joy…Gallagher style!

“You’ve been served, bitch!”
Debbie is extremely motivated to obtain Derek’s death benefit, but her lawyer, Patti, who turns out not to be a real lawyer, but she did pass most of her classes, says they are having trouble serving Peppa with the papers.
Debbie attempts to deliver the papers to Peppa, but Peppa continues to outrun her, which forces Debbie to get some backup in Megan and Farhad. This leads to an eventful high speed chase, where Debbie finally serves Peppa the papers, stuffing them in her mouth.
Only it looks like Peppa is not ready to be fooled, hiring her own military lawyers. She explains that she will give Franny her portion of the death benefit, but now she wants full custody of her.
Watch out, Debbie. Money isn’t everything…

“Welcome home Ian!”
When Ian first returns home from prison, he is thrown off by Anne’s family in his home. After having some interesting adventures as “Sparky” during his new EMT job, it looks like he may have some adjusting to do, but his family comes through for him in the end by throwing him a worthy welcome home party. They even light a burning van on his cake!
With Fiona’s absence, Ian’s presence is really important here, but it looks like he is in for his fair share of drama, as Mickey may be breaking out in next week’s episode? After all, love knows no bounds. Stay tuned!
