Lily and Daniel have spent the night over at the Gallagher house as it was already too late for them to go back home and just decided to stay. Lily walked down the stairs seeing Daniel on the couch as he kept insisting since he didn't want to walk up the stairs. "Hey, how'd you sleep?" Lily asked sitting beside him as he sat up. "Surprisingly good." He answered making her laugh as she heard someone on the kitchen.

It was Fiona who was writing a letter. "Want some coffee?" She asked as she stood up and Daniel nodded watching her leave to the kitchen. "Hey, what are you doing?" Lily asked as she started making some coffee.  She saw Carl grab the box of cereal before sitting on the table without saying a word.

Fiona glared at Carl before looking at Lily. "Why don't you ask your kid." Fiona said looking at Carl as she went back to the letters she was writing. "Ok? Carl what is Fiona doing?" She asked and Carl didn't say anything as he just poured milk into his cereal.

"I'll just talk to myself." Lily muttered.

"Slept here last night?" Ian walked in making Lily sigh in relief as finally someone talked after an awkward silence as Daniel had fallen asleep once again. "Yeah." Fiona and Lily answered as he was talking to his older sisters.

"What are you writing?" He asked Fiona who sighed looking up at Ian and Lily. "A letter to Sean's ex-wife." She finally answered and Lily made a face. "Oof. How come?" They asked and they both chuckled as they had the same reaction.

"Ask Carl." Lily sighed as he would not say anything. "Carl, why is Fiona writing a letter to Sean's ex-wife?" Ian asked looking at him who just scoffed. "I don't want to talk about it." Carl said standing up from his seat before leaving.

"Okay, great. I'll just stand here and drink my coffee in silence." Ian said and Lily smiled as the both clinked their coffee mugs together, drinking their coffee.

"You moving back here?" Ian asked looking at Lily who shook her head.  "Why, you miss me already?" She teased making him laugh shaking his head. "No, I was thinking of making your room into a sex room." He said making her laugh before making a face.

"What the fuck is a sex room?" She asked as he just laughed before seeing Debbie walk down with a suitcase in hand making them all confused as she struggled to carry it. "Where are you going?" Fiona asked seeing Debbie finally managing to control her suitcase as she stood in the middle of the kitchen.

"To the commune with Queenie." Debbie answered and they all shook their heads. "Except you're not, 'cause you have school, remember?" Lily reminded and Debbie rolled her eyes.

"I need a supportive environment. Not gonna get it here." Debbie said and Lily rolled her eyes as it was too early for this. "So that's it for high school, huh? Pregnant dropout at 15. Well played." Lily listed and Debbie stared at her.

"Don't pretend you care."

"You got to graduate, Debs." Ian chimed in.

"Have you heard of unschooling? It's a widely recognized form of education." Debbie said and they all looked at her weirdly. "By who?" Lily asked as Debbie started walking to the front door ready to leave. "Queenie says it's when you get knowledge from life instead of books. Like making spaghetti, when you measure water, pasta, salt. That's math." Debbie explained as they followed her.

Lily noticed Daniel had woken up once again by all the voices. "No, that's pathetic." Lily said looking at Debbie as she placed her hands on Daniel's hair as he closed his eyes again enjoying the feeling.

"If I'm desperate, I can just get my GED. You know, like you did." Debbie said pointing at Fiona who looked at Lily in disbelief. Queenie then walked down the stairs with Chuckie as they all looked at her. "Queenie, are you going to support Debbie as she unschools her way through life?" Fiona asked looking at the woman.
