If there is one thing the most recent episode of Showtime's epic dramedy 'Shameless' left fans craving for more, it was the sudden, saucy relationship between Debbi (Emma Kenney) and her work-boo, Alex. Episode 4 of 'Shameless' season 9, witnessed the fourth oldest Gallagher sibling getting involved with a manly woman from work for the first time ever. And as things heated up quickly between the two, Debbie decided to even move in with her. Surprised?

How these things unfolded is a whole other deal, but it's interesting to see that Debbie - despite their differences - is evolving into yet another Fiona (Emmy Rossum) real neatly. The only thing better than her pulling an almost Kim Kardashian on her sort-of-bae Alex, was her father - classic Frank (William H. Macy) - helping a pedophile get elected.

But the coming episode promises a lot of things, and certain intense stuff especially on the Frank, and Debbie end of the deal. As shared on the Showtime website, 'Shameless' season 9 episode 5 is titled 'Black-Haired Ginger,' and the official synopsis reads: “Frank’s new liver medication comes with tragic side effects. Ian tries to get away from Fiona’s hovering. Lip has to keep himself occupied during a day of temptation. Carl makes a connection at a West Point mixer. Debbie tries to repair things with Alex.”
