THE COUPLE | Shameless' Mickey and Ian
THE LATEST | Ian is still secretly in the Army, which means Mickey is about 50 shades of hot mess. Mickey inconspicuously asks about Ian but no one knows where he is. In a touching scene (in more ways than one...), Mickey plucks out a picture of Ian and has his way with it in the bathroom.
AWW! | What are these feelings -- do we dare say we feel bad for usual-psychopath Mickey as he struggles with not only his sexuality, but being away from Ian?
THE FORECAST | Cloudy. Ian will remain in the Army for a while -- leaving Mickey with nothing but a faded photograph, a broken mirror and, ultimately, broken feelers.
