Last week's Shameless was a bit weak in comparison to the last three seasons. Very few new plot threads were introduced and major developments didn't really star occurring until the end of the episode.
On a more positive note, the bigger focus on the previously secondary characters and drift away from Fiona and Frank has continued and gotten even better in "My Oldest Daughter". The focus of the series has become more of an ensemble than in the past as such each scene pops more including a brilliantly written and acted scene involving Stan's transgender child at the Alibi Room. This also extends to Frank and Fiona's plots as the increased brevity of their scenes makes them more humorous and immediate.
