'Shameless' season 9 episode 5 recap: Did 8-year-old Liam just have sex?
Showtime's popular dramedy, 'Shameless' has truly taken things to a whole new level in its ongoing ninth season. There are pedophiles sitting in office, bars working their way towards being absolutely non-rapey, people with mental illnesses turning into gay Jesus and confused teens doing the utmost to rebel. But somehow, none of this made it to the top of the list of most outrageous things the show has come up with because the latest episode saw the youngest Gallagher - Liam, who is all of eight or nine years of age - admitting he has had sex.
Other things in store for fans is the first glimpse at guest star Katey Sagal, who began her recurring role on the show in the last episode, titled “Black-Haired Ginger." The title is a clear reference to Ian's new hair-dye job inspired by his impending need to go fugitive any time now. Speaking of Ian, after many, many episodes of the long-running show, we see him and his older brother Lip share a heart-to-heart, meaningful moment in the Gallagher kitchen, where the two of them just let their guards down and decide to have some much-needed bro-time over spoonfuls of ice cream that they eat straight out of the container. Pure wholesome!
