WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Shameless season 10 episode 2. Read at your own risk.
Shameless season 10 episode 2 is set to arrive later this week. Titled "Sleep Well My Prince For Tomorrow You Shall Be King," the upcoming episode will feature Frank and his latest scheme, and it will also explore Ian and Mickey's relationship and the challenges they have to face.
In Shameless season 10 episode 2, Frank feels pressure from Debbie, so he's planning to make money to keep his place in the house. The character's storyline is, perhaps, a part of the series' overall charm. His schemes won't possibly be different from the previous seasons, but his get-rich-quick plans make the series more entertaining.
The upcoming episode will also explore Ian and Mickey's relationship. These two are back in a major capacity this season, so their story is indeed worth exploring -- particularly the dynamics of a romance in prison. Keeping their relationship won't be easy, especially since they had to deal with terrible conditions and prisoners.
While it may sound nice the two of them will spend a lot of time together, things could get ugly later on. After all, these two have strong personalities and they could have frequent fights as they move forward with their relationship. But despite that, Ian and Mickey could still work through some of their issues -- both personal and as a couple.
As for what else is coming on Shameless season 10 episode 2, Lip felt overwhelmed by the demands of a newborn, while Carl learns more about his mysterious new coworker. The upcoming episode will also accelerate some stories we've seen from the premiere and will try to introduce a life without Fiona on the picture.
While it's sad the character is not on the series anymore, Shameless is still successful since it has a signature style and tone. Even though one of the strongest characters is now gone, the series able to withstand that big change because of its strong format. Additionally, other characters' stories are worth exploring as well.
In another related report, Shameless will possibly be renewed for season 11. Executive producer John Wells told The Hollywood Reporter that he doesn't have any interest in concluding the series, though Emmy Rossum (Fiona) left at the end of the previous season. Lead star William H. Macy is also eager to come back for more.
Wells teased they'll probably do a season 11, and Macy is willing to do it as well. The executive producer revealed he wanted to make the series forever since it mainly focuses on the life and income inequality, and added that few people are telling such stories. So, for now, it's safe to say that Shameless season 10 won't be the last, and fans will be seeing more of the characters in the future.
Shameless season 10 episode 2 will air on Sunday, Nov. 17, on Showtime.
