Index Of Shameless Season 1

When Frank’s negligence leads to a devastating accident involving Debbie, the index reaches its climax. For the first time in the season, the children do not clean up Frank’s mess. They lock him out. The final sequence—Fiona, Lip, Ian, Debbie, and Carl eating dinner together in silence while Frank bangs on the door—is a secular exorcism. It is the moment the index changes from a story about surviving a father to a story about sustaining a siblinghood .

Introduce the Gallagher family. Fiona meets Steve after her purse is stolen at a nightclub. Lip discovers a secret about Ian, and Frank passes out on the living room floor. Episode 2: "Frank the Plank" Original Air Date: January 16, 2011 index of shameless season 1
