Shameless season 8 finale preview: To go full Gallagher or to not go full Gallagher
By Reed Gaudens
In the Season 8 finale of Shameless, Fiona goes full Gallagher to get her apartment back and Lip faces a big decision. Here’s everything you need to know.
There it goes, folks. Another wild season of Shameless in the books, and might we say, it’s been one of the Gallaghers’ most compelling collection of episodes in years. More so than the past few seasons, Season 8 felt like a return to form, and that’s never been more apparent than the promise of a season finale with the futures of every family member in peril.
Of course, because this is Shameless, their futures are in peril due to no one’s fault but their own or the unrelenting torment of the universe. The season finale finds Fiona continuing to fight back against the squatters taking over her apartment and suing her for a steep $6 million. Although her case doesn’t look particularly good, Fiona’s prepared to pull out all the classic Gallagher stops to put an end to the nonsense. Meanwhile, Ian encounters legal trouble during his latest mission, a toe-less Debbie (still cringing) considers letting Franny’s father back into her life, and Lip faces a major decision about his future. Oh, and Frank’s up to no good as per usual. Liam’s rich friend won’t be his friend for long…
Can Fiona’s Gallagher methods help her force the family out of her apartment and get them to drop the lawsuit? What decision does Lip need to make? Will Ian find himself on the wrong side of the law? And just how will Frank manage to rob a rich guy’s house? Be sure to watch the all-new episode this weekend to find out the answers to these questions, and check out a first look at the episode in the trailer below!
