      This episode was directed by William H. Macy, who plays Frank.
    • Goofs
      The women speaking to Ford outside the museum was clearly dubbed over- her lips, though saying the lines as scripted, do not match the timing.

    Undoubtedly the best episode of the season yet
    Finally an episode that felt somewhat like the old days of Shameless. I was getting worried based on the first 4 episodes of this season and how the last season ended. Finally, we get an episode that had all of the right elements that made this show great to begin with. This episode probably made me laugh out loud more than any episode in a very long time with this show. That and the family dynamics on the show is what makes it truly great. For example, we get a very special moment with Lip and Ian in this episode. I can't say enough about the acting in this episode either, especially from Cameron Monaghan, he was exceptional. With the first 4 episodes aside, this was a promising set-up for the rest of (possibly) the last season of the show.
