How did we get through 9 seasons of this show? It seems unreal. And I'm still not all that excited about what's going on.
That said, I COULD NOT STOP CRYING. I don't even know why I was so emotional. I starting crying basically as soon as Fiona said she was leaving and didn't stop until I turned the camera off. I have no idea what was going on. I've been so pissed at Fiona for, like, two seasons, but now I know she's leaving and I cry my eyes out? What is that about?
So, again, I don't really care about any of the Carl/Kelly/Debbie stuff in this episode. I don't really care about Liam that much. I HATE Tami again. She had one really great episode that made me think I was going to like her as a character, but it didn't last long. I don't know if she's going to keep this baby, but I hope she does, for Lip's sake. He really wants it.
I LOVE that we got an Ian scene. And I really hope we get Ian back next season. I think he's my favorite character, and I'm really sad not seeing him all the time.
Frank continues to Frank.
Basically, Fiona takes the $100,000 check from Max and uses it (minus the $50,00 she left for Debbie) to GTFO. She has no idea where she's going, or what she's going to do, but she just knows it's time to go.
And as much as I've been annoyed at Fiona the last two seasons, watching Debbie step up and become the new Fiona has really been lovely. I've been annoyed at Debbie, basically, since day one. But the last two seasons, she's really grown on me. I can 100% see her trying to take care of everything exactly as Fiona did. That said, I hope she doesn't end up as fucked up and burned out as Fiona ended up. It's a rough gig taking care of all those kids. Frank wouldn't know.
