In the next episode of "Shameless," Ian Gallagher (Cameron Monaghan) challenges his sister Fiona (Emmy Rossum) regarding her acquisition of the church building.

The trailers and promotional photos for the upcoming installment, titled "Occupy Fiona," were just released recently and showed Ian setting up a camp beside Fiona's apartment building where she is the caretaker. Apparently, he is angry that his sister told him not to buy the church property that he wanted because she was going to get it instead.

Now, it seems that Ian wants to stage a protest beside the place where Fiona works so that she might reconsider giving the church to him. Ian was planning to create a homeless shelter inside the church for the troubled and addicted youth. However, he is using the kids now to set up camp outside of Fiona's building to rally and create some noise.

"Look, I get it, believe me. I am aware that you're pissed. But you can't just build a homeless tent city here. I have an open house and prospective renters," Fiona pleads with her brother. However, Ian pretends not to hear her and tells the homeless teenagers, "Build the latrine closer...Get close to the property as possible. I want [Fiona] to smell out s---!" It remains to be seen if Ian will be able to push his sister to hand over the church property to him.

In the last episode, Fiona discovered that her elderly tenant Mrs. Cardinal collapsed and died in her bedroom. She was shocked by the ordeal and was equally disgusted when Cardinal's dog started chewing and eating her owner's wrist. Fiona had to take care of the old woman's affairs and belongings.

"Shameless" season 8 airs on Sundays, at 9 p.m. EST on Showtime.
