Showtime'south popular dramedy, 'Shameless' has truly taken things to a whole new level in its ongoing ninth flavour. There are pedophiles sitting in office, confined working their fashion towards being absolutely non-rapey, people with mental illnesses turning into gay Jesus and confused teens doing the utmost to rebel. But somehow, none of this made information technology to the top of the list of well-nigh outrageous things the show has come up with considering the latest episode saw the youngest Gallagher - Liam, who is all of eight or nine years of age - albeit he has had sexual activity.

Other things in store for fans is the kickoff glimpse at guest star Katey Sagal, who began her recurring role on the show in the last episode, titled "Blackness-Haired Ginger." The title is a clear reference to Ian'south new hair-dye chore inspired by his impending need to get avoiding whatsoever time now. Speaking of Ian, after many, many episodes of the long-running prove, we see him and his older brother Lip share a centre-to-heart, meaningful moment in the Gallagher kitchen, where the ii of them just let their guards down and decide to have some much-needed bro-fourth dimension over spoonfuls of ice cream that they eat direct out of the container. Pure wholesome!

But other than that, virtually every other graphic symbol is sticking to their usual messy routine. Well, in their ain means that is, every bit Carl is sticking to the consent contract Kev fabricated him sign, while on the other mitt, Fiona and her young man(?) Ford are being their usual, bickering selves to each other. It'south tiresome, but makes for some shocking make-up nuances, and so fans of their steamy romance don't have much to complain about either.

So there is the Gallagher patriarch being his own deadbeat, pathetic self with a disrepair liver and first-degree burns around his scrotal and penile regions, which makes one feel near deplorable for Kev and V considering they are Frank's only ride to the hospital in these trying times. And this is where Sagal steps in, equally the hot psych-patient whose one smack at daddy-Gallagher is able to turn his erectile dysfunction woes around.

Yet amidst all of this, and our redhead Gallagher making one hell of a speech communication as he pleads non guilty, arrives something fifty-fifty bigger and more shocking than any show has always done. That's right, we are finally getting to the whole Liam having sex affair this season. "I think I had sex with a trashy girl," he agitatedly informs his eldest brother, Lip. And if you idea that was shocking, Lip decodes to follow it up with: "You think?" and: "How trashy?"

Hang on, correct there. 'Shameless' showbosses, what is even going on?! This child is not fifty-fifty ten, okay - by normal upbringing, he shouldn't even be knowing about sex. Merely and so again, he's a Gallagher that grew up in Southside Chicago. Regardless, while information technology's even so not clear whether Liam really had sex activity-sexual activity, or what he thinks was sex, we tin't help but revel at the remarkably debauched nature of the Gallaghers when it comes to sorting their priorities.

At that place is Carl and Debbie - Liam's two other older siblings - questioning him on whether he got the girl pregnant or non, being completely oblivious to the fact that he'due south a prepubescent male child who's probably too young to fifty-fifty consent to take sexual practice with anybody at all for that thing. But hey - everything can be explained by just ane word, and that discussion is 'Gallaghers.'
