"Slaughter" is the fifth episode of the eleventh season of the American television comedy drama Shameless, an adaptation of the British series of the same name.
The series is set on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and depicts the poor, dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a neglectful single father of six: Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.57 million household viewers and gained a 0.15 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
After the Milkoviches leave a box with feces at his doorstep, Frank (William H. Macy) once again visits Kevin (Steve Howey) to plan a new strategy.
Lip (Jeremy Allen White) and Tami (Kate Miner) are confused when a city worker places a "for sale" sign in front of their house.
Lip realizes that on top of not paying the full ownership of the house, he is not the legitimate owner as he never signed any papers.
When they go to the Alibi Room, Kevin finally reveals the truth; the house was the site of a brutal family murder, something that Lip knew.
Liam (Christian Isaiah) is disturbed by the presence of the Milkoviches in the neighborhood, and grows even more scared when he discovers they broke into his house and left a deer's head in his bedroom.
Due to the rally's noise, Liam finally steps up and goes outside with a gun, shooting it in the air to proclaim he is not afraid.
"[6] Paul Dailly of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 2.75 star rating out of 5 and wrote "Shameless is going the predictable route in its final season, and it's hardly surprising.
"[7] Meaghan Darwish of TV Insider wrote "Shameless returns after a few week off with a bang in the latest installment, “Slaughter.”"[8]
