The title for upcoming Episode 6 of 'Shameless' Season 11 looks like words of wisdom cut out from Frank Gallagher's daily proclamation of what a god-like persona he is. Still scavenging the streets of Southside, pretending to be some big shot who knows all there is to know and can do whatever it takes to pay for his degenerate lifestyle, the final season sees Frank as less of a selfish asshole and more of a business-minded crook. He did go to college after all. But as enticing as it might sound, the next episode demands yet another two weeks of waiting as has been the signature schedule for this season. 

Unfortunately for fans, the upcoming episode of this season will not be airing next week. Season 11 Episode 6 titled 'Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good... Eh, Screw It' will air all the way on Valentine's Day, that is Sunday, February 14, at 9 pm on the Showtime network. And those with subscriptions to the network's independent app, the episode will drop sharp at midnight on February 14.

So far, there has been no official synopsis released by the network. So what transpires next is a guess anybody's as good as ours. But based on what went down in the previous episode 'Slaughter', Frank's days of running around the city pretending to be all that he is not and picking fights he clearly cannot win are far from over. His latest problem is the Milkoviches who have decided to move in next door. And to get rid of them his plans are as big and ambitious as 'Slaughter', as the episode's title hints. 

The official synopsis of the latest episode reveals: "Ian and Mickey's security gig comes into question; Frank and Kev try to take down the Milkoviches; V canvasses to get Black people to the polls; Debbie takes Franny to meet her favorite wrestler; Carl and Leesie's policing approaches come to a head." The promo for the episode also hints at some unforeseen trouble in the Debbie and Sandy paradise, but all of that gets clouded in the big mission Frank has to eliminate his next door neighbours. Just another day in the Gallagher life.

'Shameless' Season 11 airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Showtime with new episodes dropping early at midnight on the Showtime app.
