The series is set on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and depicts the poor, dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a neglectful single father of six: Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam. He spends his days drunk, high, or in search of money, while his children need to learn to take care of themselves. In the episode, the conflict between Fiona and Ian intensifies, while Frank looks for a new job. Meanwhile, Lip helps Youens during his DUI trial.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.58 million household viewers and gained a 0.51 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mixed reviews, with some expressing criticism for the subplot revolving around Fiona and Ian.
