'Shameless' season 6 episode 5 recap 'Refugees'

In this week's episode of Shameless, the Gallagher family has officially become homeless, V and Kev are hosting refugees, Amanda returns, Debbie makes the moves on Mr. Wexler, and almost everyone is sick of Carl's wigger shit.

The buyers of the Gallagher home show up while the family is still living there to take measurements for their furniture and are greeted by Carl. Asked if they've seen what a machete can do to the human body, Frank rips the home apart for parts to sell for money.

Later in the day the sheriffs show up and start emptying the contents of the house onto the street because the bank closed it, leaving all the Gallaghers in need of a new place to stay.

Viv, V's super religious mom, is hosting a bible study at the Ball residence when Kev jumps at the opportunity to cleanse his soul by taking in a refugee from where he believes is Miami. Kev's logic is if he does God a solid, he'll do one for him in return, so if he takes in a foster kid he will be forgiven for Yonnis' death. V is extremely unamused and doesn't want to take in a refugee even if God will forgive Kev.

To Kev and V's surprise not only were the refugees Asian but there were five of them. At least these are five pairs of helping hands to get help bring the Gallaghers' belongings from the street into the Ball home. But  being there's less room in the house V says she can take Carl as long as he stops with all his acting ghetto wigger shit because he isn't black.

Carl also received heat from Sean, who said he wouldn't let Carl stay with him because he doesn't want him around his son Will; he would only allow Fiona and Liam to stay at his apartment. Being that Carl doesn't want to stay with any of them, he and Nick look in "crackerville" for an apartment, where he also dubs himself a white rapper White Chocolate and Nick's bike gets stolen when they're inside looking at the potential space and he ends up at V and Kev's.

Lip's ex Amanda is back and needs pictures of the mural she painted on Lip's wall for her art class, where he makes the rookie mistake of leaving her in there alone. Being the psycho that she is, she finds the nude photos of Helene on his phone and tweets it for the entire student body to see. After not being able to find Helene on campus, Lip goes to her house and her husband informs him that she is being summoned by the discipline board because of his actions.

Ian goes to the firefighter BBQ in hopes of getting a little action, but ends up leaving on a date and finding out Fiona's ex Tony (remember him, the super cute cop/neighbor from Season 1) is gay.

Frank tells Debbie it's time to make a move on Mr. Wexler, because really only Frank Gallagher can tell one of his children to have sex with a married man and even help her out by making sure the wife isn't home. To keep Mrs. Wexler away, Frank continues his job as cancer concierge and takes her casket shopping, but ends up learning a lot of things about her, such as the fact that she is a former bad ass! She was a groupie, used to do coke, snorted pcp off of a dick at 16, and was a lesbian with Melissa Etheridge.

Frank's advice for Debbie to sleep with Mr. Wexler doesn't work out and he seems to be overly annoyed by Debbie's presence but she somehow gets him to let her live in the house, with Mrs. Wexler crawling into bed with her at night.
