The finale instead finds a way to make the entire season that lead up to it feel irrelevant. “Father Frank, Full of Grace” feels more like a penultimate episode with one last hour left to complete story arcs and prepare for what it would mean to move on. The series even does it in such a way where it feels like the show made a deliberate choice to avoid giving a solid ending to anyone’s arc. However, Shameless fails many of its other characters when it comes to their conclusions. Instead, the couple discusses the possibility of having children. Ian has the clearest ending of any of his siblings, as his happy ending with Mickey has already been dealt with. Already setting up Kevin and Veronica’s jobs when they move, all that is left is to sell the Alibi Room. However, his spirit appears to be with his family at the Alibi.Īs for Kevin and Veronica, their endgame was revealed earlier as well, as the duo prepares to move their family to Louisville, Kentucky. Frank dies in a hospital with only a doctor for company. He spends his final moments remembering his family as they once were, including flashbacks to the show’s early days. After spending several episodes with dementia, Frank is taken into the hospital with a positive COVID-19 result. Frank is the only Gallagher who gets a real resolution.
