Shameless: Season 2, Episode 7 “A Bottle of Jean Nate” (B+)
We have some productive developments in this hour, with some clarity and positive steps for certain couples. Jasmine’s boat party proved to be quite eventful for all involved, particularly for Jasmine herself. Kissing Fiona after she was upset about Steve wasn’t a terrible move, but coming over to her house the next day and insisting that Fiona let her move in because of all that she’s done for her was rude and is sure to push Fiona away. I don’t expect Jasmine to go quietly, however, so I’m sure this will continue to be a problem. That’s also true for Jody, who was so swiftly kicked out by an infuriated Karen and continues to serenade her from his tent under the L train while Lip begins to get back together with her. It’s good that Lip and Ian got some of their frustrations out by fighting, and it turns out that Grammy had a positive suggestion after all. Teaching Carl a skill was entertaining, and, as usual, he got carried away and caused a fortunately controlled explosion in the meth lab. Kevin’s search for Ethel was sweet, and their similarly-named bunny didn’t seem like a fitting replacement. A baby, on the hand, just might, and it’ll be good for Kevin to get his mind off Stan and the missing Ethel. I did enjoy some of the Gallagher family humor present in this hour, particularly Debs’ innocent question about how she would know if she was dating a tool, to which Lip responded in a terrific brotherly manner.
