In the upcoming fourth episode of "Shameless" season 7, Frank (William H. Macy) is planning a "psychological warfare" to avoid him and his new family from getting kicked out of their new house.

On the other hand, Fiona (Emmy Rossum) might be going through something different. Is she finally leaving her siblings behind?

Previously, in "Shameless" season 7, Frank stumbled upon an open house under the care of a realtor named Sylvie (Kara Killmer). He tricks Sylvie into letting him and his new family inhabit the house.

After Frank invites everyone who got kicked out from the previous homeless shelter they were in, Sylvie gets the cops to get them out but fails because it has now become a matter for the court.

In episode 4, however, Frank will soon be worried that their new house might be taken away from them. The upcoming episode is titled "I am a Storm," and according to the synopsis released by Showtime – "Frank worries that he and his new family will lose their Home for the Homeless shelter, so he plans a little goodwill for the neighborhood. Meanwhile, Fiona drums up business by throwing a speakeasy party at Patsy's Pies."

In a sneak peek, Frank will be cooking up a "psychological warfare" in the form of neighborhood goodwill. Frank informs everyone in the house of how they will avoid eviction and says that they will be returning things that are owned by the realtor and cleaning up the neighborhood. "We become them," Frank says so that their neighbors will not want to push them out of the house.

While Frank fights to keep his new family and home, Fiona might be going in the opposite direction. In the trailer for episode 4, Fiona says that she has taken care of every Gallagher except for herself. "I am done," Fiona claims. What happens when Fiona finally gives up the responsibility of being the mother to her siblings?

"Shameless" season 7 airs every Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT on Showtime.
