What's up, babe?

What? What the... What happened to your head? Wh... what the fuck?

You have no idea how good this feels. We should shave our head every fucking summer. What? I-- Wait.

Okay. First of all, why was there a hooker's tit in my baby's mouth?

All right, with the hooker. It's Svetlana. And we ran out of formula, so we had to improvise.

You coulda called me. I would've brought you some formula. Or maybe she coulda went out and got some.

God didn't make formula, Veronica. God made boobs for a reason.

Hey. What's going-- Oh shit. Kev.

Debbie

Hey, Fiona. Hey, V.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Debbie? What the fuck? Did you do this?

Know what? I think it's time for baby's nap. Okay, excuse me. Okay, bye-bye.

What happened to your hair?

If it was lice again, I could have washed it.

No, no, it was hot. And the kids were pulling on it.

I loved that hair. That-- that was my hair, Kev. I... How could you do this? How could he do this?

V, it's just hair. It'll grow back.

You fed our baby hooker's milk and you shaved your head.

Okay, okay, let's go, okay. We're just going to go. Let's go dance. Come on, let's go to the bar.

Who the fuck are you?

It's just a fucking haircut.

Keep telling yourself that. Come on, let's go. See you, Kev.

...

[Ian, Mickey and two friends are watching behind a door]

PPastor

Mandy, you sweet, sweet girl. It's still a sin of the flesh.

But God wants my mouth on you. He wants you to feel his love through me. Look away, Pastor. I don't want you to see me sinning. I don't want you to think less of me.

PPastor

But God granted you such beauty, Mandy.

But if you don't watch, then I can pretend I'm praying.

[A friend has taken Mandy's place and is fellating the pastor]

PPastor

[Moans in pleasure] Yes.

[Mickey, Ian and a friend are all filming and taking pictures, with camera lights flashing]

Really fast!

PPastor

What-- what is this?

That's a good one.

PPastor

Yes. Really fast. What are you doing?

Yes. Oh, I'm Tweeting. Facebook too. And done. So what are you going to tell the press, Pastor? That you thought you were getting blown by a teenage girl? Or by God himself?

PPastor

Oh, my God.

...

Debbie

It's just a haircut. Why is everyone freaking out?

It's not just a haircut. It's you... you look like...

Debbie

What? I look like a what?

Whoa, you look like a hooker.

Debbie

You think?

That is not a compliment, Debbie.

Debbie

From Carl?

Totally is. Hookers are hot.

Debbie

See?

Debbie. You're a smart girl. What are you doing hanging out with whores?

Debbie

I don't know. You're a smart girl. Why are you on probation for drugs?

Your friends still aren't talking to you?

Debbie

What friends?

You know, your haircut actually looks pretty cute. But you're gonna have to take that makeup down by at least half.

Debbie

Fine.

What are you doing right now? You want to come and see a band with me?

Debbie

Yeah.

You're a businessman?

More of a tradesman, actually.

Wow. Looks and smarts? Did I get lucky tonight or what? And I like your jacket. It's very classy.

...

Hey! It ain't quitting time yet, College!

Look, uh, do we get paid for the holiday on Monday? What? You know, it's the fourth? Of July? It's, you know, America's birthday. It's the birth of democracy. Yeah, I know what the fourth of July is, smart-ass. No. None of the holidays. Not the tree one, the president one, the war one, and definitely not the one for the blacks. This ain't the post office.

Yeah.

No.

I-I think I tweaked my back.

You're not gunning for workman's comp, are you, kid?

No, I just...

Good. 'Cause the "comp" stands for competition from the Mexicans who all want your job. So man up, or you're gonna be on permanent unpaid holiday.

...

Debbie

Um, What's wrong?

MMatty

Last night, did we, um.

Debbie

I know. It was wonderful.

MMatty

So that did happen?

Debbie

Yeah You don't remember?

MMatty

I was, I was plastered.

Debbie

But you had a... Your thing...

MMatty

No, Debbie, that's biology. That's not consent. [Sighs]

Debbie

I thought it meant you wanted to.

MMatty

Did I say I wanted to? Not exactly. Debbie, I was barely conscious, okay? You date-raped me.

Debbie

We were on a date?

MMatty

No, Debbie, you statutory-raped yourself. I could go to jail.

Debbie

I don't understand.

MMatty

Friends don't rape friends.

Debbie

I-I didn't mean to rape you. I'm sorry.

[Matty walks away]

Dad never came home with my trailer.

Debbie

[Scoffs] He's not coming home with your trailer.

What?

Debbie

There's no money. Never will be.

But Dad said...

Debbie

He lied. It's a Gallagher rite of passage, realizing he let you down. He always will. First time's the hardest, but, hey, it means you really are a Gallagher now.

[Debbie is pounding a punching bag]

Easy, killer. Whose face are you picturing on that bag?

Debbie

Monica.

Who's that?

Debbie

Monica. My mother.

Mother? I thought she was dead.

Debbie

Monica. Not dead, just gone.She stayed around long enough to ruin our lives and pass on all her fucked up genes.

[Mickey is playing an electric guitar in his bedroom wearing nothing, facing the doorway and has a severe bruise on his right side face]

Debbie

What happened to your face?

Nothing.What the fuck do you want?

Debbie

Can you help me get these drugs?

Iggy! Iggy! Can you get that shit? [Throws bag of empty prescription bottles to Iggy]

IIggy

Who the fuck gets high on lithium?

No one.

IIggy

So? So I can't get 'em. I can get you crack, crystal, horse, E. But this shit, no. There's no market for it.

I'll take some fucking crack.

IIggy

You got money?

[Mickey is silent and motionless. Iggy walks away.]

Debbie

When are you gonna come by to see Ian? He's been home all day. Maybe if you were there-- [Mickey Belches] Did you guys break up or something? Because I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to kidnap your baby.

I'm fucking busy, Peppermint Patty. Go whine at someone who gives a shit. [Debbie walks over to sound system and turns it off]

Debbie

Frank used to drink like this. When Monica was around and they would fight, he would angry drink. It never worked. He always came back to her. You can't drink him away, Mickey. It won't work.

I know people who take that shit real serious.

Debbie

What do you mean?

I mean people who will slip that bitch a roofie, strap her to a chair, and pull her fucking teeth out.

Is he serious? Because I'm on parole.

Debbie

Liam. Plate. Sink.

...

There's a Russian prostitute in my kitchen talking diaper genies and infant diarrhea with my husband. So are you and Kev...

Giving it another try.

That's great.

Yeah.

Is that a hickey?

Debbie

Yeah.

What?

Are those teeth marks? Tell that boy no teeth. Just lip and suction.

VVeronice

Didn't you have the talk?

"The talk"?

Birds and bees. His thing, her thing.

She's on the pill.

...

The pill at 13?

14, she's almost 15.

Really? Well, I guess she should. I started at 11.

11?

Yeah. Developed early. Boys started sniffing around when I was 10, grown men by the time I was 11. Mama had to beat 'em off with a claw hammer. The deacons at the church were the worst. Nothing but hands.

[Fiona walks into Debbie's bedroom with Derek who promptly leaves]

Debbie

What are you doing coming into my room without knocking?

I knocked.

Debbie

We weren't doing anything.

Well, why is Derek in his underwear?

Debbie

He's spending the night.

No, he is not.

Debbie

Yes, he is.

Uh, no, I'm not.

Debbie

What do you mean?

My dad would kill me, okay? I'll see you at school tomorrow. Sorry, Miss Gallagher. Don't embarrass me like that.

Embarrass you? Hey.

You can't have a boy in your bed!

Debbie

Why not? You do!

I am a grownup.

Debbie

I'm pregnant!

No you're not. No you're not.

Debbie

I love him!

No, you don't.

Debbie

We're gonna get married.

No, you're not.

Debbie

Derek's mom got pregnant when she was six months older than me, and they've been together 20 years.

What are you talking about?!

Debbie

I love him, and we're gonna get married, and we're gonna have a lot of babies, and we're gonna be happy!

Oh, for fuck's sake, Deb!

Debbie

Why won't you ever let me be happy?!

Debbie

I'm not a kid!

Yes, you are.

Debbie

It's my body, my decision.

You're just a kid if you're willing to make a decision that could ruin the rest of your life with a boy you barely know.

Debbie

You married a guy you barely even know!

Do you even love him?

Debbie

Oh, or do you still love Jimmy or maybe Sean or some other cute guy you run into on the street?

Okay, okay. Hey. Don't do this. Please. Don't have a baby. It's a mistake.

Debbie

I know who I love, and I know what I want... even if you don't.

Meds?

Yes, Mom.

I'm not your mother. I'm just concerned. Did you take them? [Closes fridge door to be startled by Frank and gasps] Fuck, Frank.

I love you. I... I just want you to know I'm... I love you. I ever tell you about the time I caught an octopus on the reef outside of our hut and Bianca cooked it on an open fire right on the beach?

Yes.

Yes.

And the funny little sneeze she would do when she was asleep? [They all imitate Bianca's sneeze] Debs, I love you.

Debbie

Jesus.

I just... I want you to know that.

Debbie

Go away, Frank.

I... I want to light a candle for Bianca at the foot of the blessed.

No.

I hope someday you two have the precious gift of feeling what I felt for that beautiful young woman... [sobs]... and then to have that love stolen cruelly from you by a pitiless God, and then maybe, just maybe, you'll remember this day and your father's anguish and you'll be ashamed of the lack of compassion you showed him in his time of need. I love you, my little brown banana.

I don't know how much more of that I can take before I stab him in the neck with a broken beer bottle. What are you smiling about?

Debbie

I'm happy. Can't I be happy?

No, not about this. There's absolutely no reason to be happy about this.

PPhysician

So it's positive.

Debbie

So we're pregnant?

PPhysician

Would you like to discuss your options going forward?

Debbie

Oh, no. No, no, thank you. We're having this baby.

[Debbie goes to waiting room] You're not pregnant?

Debbie

I'm not. [Sighs]

Are you okay? It's for the best, Debs. Come on, let's get jelly doughnuts before I drop you off at school.
