Struggling to work for the family and care for baby Cilla, Micky comes up with a new way of making money: a fake website capturing credit card details of unsavoury users of other illegal websites.

In a very Shameless take on the Robin Hood notion of robbing the rich to give to the poor, Micky and Aidan take from the really bad guys and give to those much more deserving - themselves! But it's not long before the police are alerted, and the family face ruin.

Meanwhile, a morbid romance is in the air for Patty, who meets Trevor through her job on the local suicide helpline. And Libby is worried that Frank no longer wants to marry her, while Sita is sexually harassed by a schoolboy.
