In the next episode of "Shameless," Fiona Gallagher (Emmy Rossum) meets her blast from the past, Sean Pierce (Dermot Mulroney), in her living room but resents his visit.
The trailers and promotional photos for the upcoming installment titled "F--- Paying It Forward" were just released recently and showed Fiona carrying her baby and just about to leave the house. However, she is greeted by Pierce whom she has not seen in a while. Apparently, they were supposed to get married but he got addicted to heroin again and messed up the engagement. Fiona simply avoids him because it seems that she still has not forgiven him for what he did. She leaves the house with her sister Debbie (Emma Kenney) as Pierce sees them go.
"Maybe he wants me to know that he's clean," Fiona says to her sister. It appears that maybe Pierce has turned over a new leaf and wants to have a second chance with her. "You don't need him, Fiona. You are a strong, independent woman just like me," Debbie says while handling a blowtorch. In the meantime, their dad Frank (William H. Macy) wants to get more involved with Liam's (Brenden Sims) school so he asks the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) president what he can do to achieve that. She suggests that he join a carwash charity to raise funds for the school.
In the last episode, the Gallaghers dug up the coffin of the matriarch Monica (Chloe Webb) to retrieve the hidden heroin. The drug dealer was able to locate them and wanted the drugs back or else he would kill them all. They were able to return the heroin and get out of their sticky situation.
"Shameless" season 8 episode 4 will hit the airwaves on Sunday, Nov. 26 at 10 p.m. EST on the Showtime network.
