He loves you.

People change.

That is the entire basis of my therapeutic practice...

Frank can change, right?

No.

But he seems so committed.

You could test him.

For what?

To see how he really feels about you.

- Oh.

- That's a good idea.

Might as well.

Could tell him you have terminal cancer or are gonna die in three days, see what he says about that.

Interesting.

And this works?

What works?

Testing a man for his loyalty.

How do you test a man for loyalty, Fiona?

You don't need to test.

Who the f*ck did you think that was?

He's wearing a tie and he's got a f*cking clipboard.

I was asleep!

I'm not a f*cking mind reader.

[Fiona]

Why didn't you tell me they were coming?

- Why didn't I tell you?

- Yes.

Maybe if I'd known DCFS was dropping by...

Jesus Christ.

Do you have any idea how much you f*cked this up for me?

This is not my fault.

- I did not invite DCFS here.

- Hey, hey, shh.

I did not leave a...

a furnace in the house...

- Hey, hey, hey!

- ...Or kids in a Pack 'n Play, or an open hole in the f*cking floor.

No, but you sure as sh*t didn't help, Fiona.

The old Fiona would've handled this, would've spun sh*t, would've covered for me.

What was I supposed to do, huh?

Bake him a f*cking cake?

No, but I expected you to not be drunk in the middle of the day.

How about that, huh?

[laughs]

[Fiona]

Maybe I'm tired of playing Susie f*cking Sunshine all the time, huh?

Think of that?

'Cause if I want to be drunk in the middle of the f*cking day, that is my f*cking business.

We are very lucky to have Camilla back with us today...

Why can't we watch the game?

This sucks.

Where's Kevin?

Kev had a vasectomy today.

- Ooh.

- Poor bastard.

Worst day of my life.

I know, but it was time, with Santiago, and, of course, me telling him it was time.

They warn him about the pooling?

- You had blood pooling, too?

- Ah.

They had to drain me like a pig down there.

You have to be nice to the old boy, V.

He's going through some serious t*rture - down there.

Alibi.

Reschedule what?

What do you mean, he didn't have it?

He's at home right now, recovering.

We're in the kitchen!

We got muffins, y'all!

Muffins!

Muffins!

Muffins!

The best.

Carl, your sister is so f*cking funny.

What's so funny?

Oh, it's an inside joke.

You wouldn't get it.

It's a muffin commercial.

You know the fat guy from the muffin commercial?

"We got muffins, y'all!"

Stop.

Oh, I'm gonna run up and get dressed.

D, can I borrow something to wear?

[Debbie]

Of course, girl.

Take whatever.

[Debbie]

Do you want to split another with me, or you want your own when you're back?

Split with you.

Be right back, fry guy.

I'm so proud of you.

The f*ck you think you're doing?

Putting peanut butter on a Ritz.

No, with Kelly.

Why you trying to get with her?

- What?

- Stop fronting.

I'm not fronting.

Her and I just get along good.

Aren't I supposed to get along well with my brother's girlfriend if she's awesome?

No, she's my awesome, not your awesome.

She's not a lesbian, dumb-ass.

Exactly.

She's not gay.

Although she is the kind of girl who could come out later in life.

I'm not getting total gay vibes, but it's inconclusive, so...

I'd say yeah, she'll probably eventually end up gay.

Just knock it off.

I mean it.

There's nothing going on between me and your girlfriend.

Keep your blouse on, Carl.

You guys know where, uh, Lip went?


[Debbie]

No.

Well, he's not answering his phone.

I gotta find him.

Hey, Xan, do you know where Lip might be?

Maybe the shop?

All right, thanks.

- Hey, Mikey.

- Yeah, Frank?

No matter what the final challenge is, buddy, I-I just want you to know you've been a pleasure to work with.

- [train rumbling]

- You're a hobo from another mother.

Thanks for that.

Thank you, Frank.

Couldn't have said that better myself.

All right, let's get started!

[cheers and applause]

From hundreds of hopefuls to dozens of competitors, to eight finalists to six valiant losers...

[crowd booing]

...And finally, finally, to two final hobos.

[Dax]

We've come to the last round, where Frank and Mikey will compete mano y mano, but the question is, who will wear the Hobo Loco crown?

[cheers and applause]

- Hold on.

- That'll be me.

[crowd chanting "Frank" and "Mikey"]

[train horn blows]

Was that a train?

Oh, man, I hate trains.

[Dax]

That's right!

When you think of the classic American hobo, what is he doing?

Jumping on a moving train!

[crowd oohs, cheers]

[Dax]

The train will barrel down on Frank and Mikey and you two will run like hell to hop on.

The hobo who is in the car when the train crosses the finish line is our winner, but first, four sh*ts each!

Loco up!

[crowd cheering]

You came!

My baby.

Oh, God.

Frank, something's wrong.

I'm in pain.

What do you mean?

I'm cramping and I'm spotting and there's a lot of blood.

I think I'm having between one and six miscarriages.

Right now?

Oh, God.

- Uh...

- Yeah, look, I-I need you to come home.

Care for me.

Frank.

Okay.

Here's the plan.

You pop a squat right here for just a few minutes.

- I will...

- Pop a squat?

Or...

or sit on those very comfortable benches, and I will be back momentarily.

This'll take three, maybe five minutes.

I am miscarrying.

Will you come with me, or will you stay?

Frank, four sh*ts, or you're disqualified.

Come with me, Frank.

Come.

I'm coming!

I will be back.

I love you.

I'm gonna win this.

[Frank]

I'll be back.

There he goes.

There he goes.

- You're Lip's sister?

- Yeah.

- No way.

I'm Jason.

- Hi.

- Your brother's a great guy.

Yeah, he is.

He's not here, though.

Nobody here but me.

You want me to text him and tell him...

No, no.

I think he's avoiding me 'cause I f*cked something up for him.

I owe him an apology.

Apparently, I owe everyone an apology.

Well, you can talk to me about it.

You know, if you want to.

[sighs]

[laughs]

sh*t is going down, Jason...

God...

In my life.

[Fiona sighs]

I'm broke...

...back home, and my boyfriend's married.

I got fired from the place that I managed.

Probably heard all that before, right?

Lip comes in whining about me.

He doesn't, no.

Liar.

Yeah.
