Shameless has plotted a mission for the Gallagher family: to finally call their house their own through a bank loan. Elsewhere, Debbie’s pregnancy arc gets even more interesting when Frank accompanies her to get an ultrasound.

On a sneak peek released through Youtube, Fiona gathers Ian and Carl at their dining room to announce that their house is being sold for an auction. However, it comes with a twist. Fiona happily shares that they can buy it and ultimately call it their own.

“For the first time, ever, it would be our house. Not Aunt Ginger’s, not Patrick’s,” she said.
But to be able to push through, they need to give a down payment of $3500 to the bank.

Later, Carl flashed his stash of money for his siblings to see.

Although this storyline is quite a long shot for the Gallaghers to accomplish, it’s comforting to see that they’re still willing to stick with each other no matter the cost.

In Debbie’s orbit, Frank is still taking advantage of his daughter’s pregnancy. On the clip released by Showtime, the Gallagher matriarch accompanies the hopeless- romantic Debbie to an ultrasound clinic.

Frank, being the opportunist that he’s always been, suggested that her daughter doesn’t need a boy her age. Rather, a father figure who’s extremely lonely (and rich) to support her financially.

On the same hour, it seems that the dramedy will further explore what happened with Ian last week when he rescued a woman from a car accident.

Per the network’s description, viewers will find Ian making a discovery at the firehouse. And also, Fiona will be confronting Patrick about their house situation.

The next episode of Shameless titled “Going Once, Going Twice” is slated to air on Sunday, Jan. 31 at 10PM.
