The Defenestration of Frank

In the sixth episode of Shameless season 7, titled "The Defenestration of Frank," the Gallagher family's patriarch, Frank, finds himself in some hot water after accidentally tossing one of his daughter's fiances out of a window during a party. As Frank attempts to avoid the consequences of his actions, the other members of the family each face their own challenges.

For Fiona, the eldest Gallagher sibling, her ongoing struggle to manage her newfound success as a business owner is complicated by the unexpected arrival of her ex-boyfriend, Sean. Meanwhile, Lip is dealing with the aftermath of his own reckless behavior, which has led him to get involved in a dangerous new scheme with his professor.
