Shameless (2004)
S01E07 Episode 7
Episode Overview
The bailiffs and Mr. Wilson continue to pursue Frank, who seems more focused on reconnecting with his ex-wife, Monica, rather than confronting his mounting debts. Annoyingly, Norma, Monica's partner, suggests a drastic plan: faking Frank’s own death. Meanwhile, Maggie begins to see that Frank isn’t as invested in her as she had hoped. When Anthony visits to discuss Fiona, an unfortunate accident with chili causes Maggie to stumble into the garden for the first time in five years! Tony discovers a way to eliminate Steve and pursue Fiona after uncovering Steve's car theft scheme. The bailiffs remain skeptical of Frank's supposed death, leading to an awkward moment when one of them attacks Frank’s coffin in front of the family. When Frank remains motionless, the bailiff finally grasps the reality of the situation. At Frank’s wake, he dramatically emerges from the coffin, prompting a spontaneous celebration. Maggie arrives just in time to witness the chaos.
