I liked the self-awareness that happened in this episode - Lip realizing he once was at the bottom too and needed someone to get him to an AA meeting, V realizing she didn't really help Fiona until now (though their whole lack of friendship nowadays is so weird and it felt unusual to finally see V and Fiona actually talking again), Fiona realizing she does have issues, even Frank's self-awareness about how he's a "good drunk" while Fiona is a "bad drunk" (this must have been the most likeable Frank has been for me in like two or three seasons).
I feel really weird about the story with Tami and Lip though. For a second I thought she'll lose the baby because Lip offered her popcorn shrimp which sounded like food from Carl's work and they repeatedly said that it's not really fresh, but there have been so many red herrings and hints that lead to nowhere in the last two seasons, so I doubt that was intended. But I honestly think it would be for the best. I really don't want to see Tami being the mother of Lip's child. I still think they have no real chemistry and Tami's character is... so weird and random. It also made me angry that she told him she's pregnant, but then didn't even bother listening to his opinion. Yes, it's her body, but it's also their child. If she doesn't want any input then why even tell him in the first place? It's just annoying to watch Lip being with someone like her.
