The Gallagher matriarch — Monica (Chloe Webb) — is coming home. Meanwhile, Fiona (Emmy Rossum) gets a bad review on her laundromat for the first time.
Monica was last heard of in season 4 when Ian (Cameron Monaghan) ran away from home and found her mother to stay with. But when the Gallagher siblings found Ian, Monica was already missing in action.
In the upcoming ninth episode of "Shameless" season 7 — titled "Ouroboros" — Monica is coming home and will do something good for the family, specifically for Debbie (Emma Kenney).
According to the synopsis released by Showtime, "Monica is back! And her first task is to help Debbie get back Franny. Meanwhile, Frank (William H. Macy) tries to avoid her, Ian has his first fight with Trevor (Elliot Fletcher), Lip (Jeremy Allen White) tries to mask his relapsing alcoholism and Fiona's laundromat gets a bad review."
Meanwhile, Fiona finds out that someone posted a bad review about the laundromat. As seen from the episode promo, Fiona will be called a "clueless south side chic" by a girl who she says looks like a fifteen-year-old. It seems that Fiona is not taking the bad review seriously, but with the laundromat's many needed repairs, it might add to the place's unappealing ambiance and chase potential customers away.
Ian and Trevor will also be getting into a pretty big fight, one that might lead to the two resorting to a fist fight. The title "Ouroboros" might be a specific reference to one of the Gallagher siblings. "Ouroboros" is when a snake eats it's own tail, and someone might just get their behind handed to them by their own doing.
Lip is a possible candidate for who the title "Ouroboros" is referring to since he is expected to relapse into his alcoholism and will try to keep it to himself.
"Shameless" season 7 airs every Sunday at 9 p.m EST on Showtime.
