'Shameless' season 9 episode 9: Fiona Gallagher hits the bottle hard as her downward spiral shows no signs of ending
Contains spoilers about Shameless season 9, episode 8: The Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Alibi.
'Shameless' is back with the second half of its ninth season, and in its true signature style, has already established that the Gallaghers aren't going to climb the ladder of honor and grace any time soon. The most shocking story of the lot has to be that of Fiona Gallagher's though. In this season, we see Fiona start off as a successful business owner planning further investments in terms of both career and family, and then suddenly we see her pretty much slide down the gutter to a level slightly above her degenerate scumbag of a father, Frank Gallagher. In doing so, Fiona's downward spiral has turned her into a day drinking, problematic, penniless person like Frank.
