As Frank realizes he may never be the same person again, the show seems to lead the audience to a tragic conclusion — to expect the worst for its main character. Once home, Frank reminds 26-year-old son Lip about the gold brick they buried into the backyard when he was 12, a truly sweet moment. But Frank quickly decides to go back to his old ways and shoot up, thinking he will feel "so much better." Leaving a letter to his family, Frank takes more drugs, resulting in him falling onto his sofa and closing his eyes (via Digital Spy).
The episode ends on this sour note, confusing viewers about whether Frank overdosed or not. Taking to Twitter, die-hard fans are asking themselves whether he will live to see another day, or if it's officially the end for our anti-hero. One fan posted, "I'm not feeling Lip. Kev & V moving is insane. Ian & Mickey are the best. The growth in Liam is perfect. Carl is working [so] hard to make being a cop work for him. Debbie is needy & I can't deal if Frank died like that."
Another fan was similarly shocked, tweeting, "who knew I'd ever be crying over Frank Gallagher lol shameless is ripping me to shreds." Although Frank Gallagher's character is divisive, one Twitter user said it all: "Wait.. frank really gone? Gotdammit!"
With the show's last episode titled "Father Frank, Full of Grace," we're unfortunately expecting a devastating fate.
