Frank (William H. Macy) is determined to be a good patriarch to his new family, while Fiona (Emmy Rossum) attempts to promote Patsy's Pies in an unconventional way in the upcoming episode of Showtime's family drama "Shameless" season 7.

Titled "I Am a Storm," next week's episode will explore Frank's effort to keep his new family together. To give viewers an idea of what to expect, the official synopsis for episode 4 reads:

"Frank worries that he and his new family will lose their Home for the Homeless shelter, so he plans a little goodwill for the neighborhood. Meanwhile, Fiona drums up business by throwing a speakeasy party at Patsy's Pies."

In the promo clip released by Showtime,  Frank attends a neighborhood council meeting which doesn't go as he initially planned. "I can make sure that we do our drugs and beat each other up indoors, just like the rest of you folks," he proposes to the group. At some point in the teaser, Frank appears to be instructing "new Fiona" on how she should act. Meanwhile, Fiona is determined to start a new life for herself. "The past 10 years I've taken care of every single Gallagher, except one. I'm done," Fiona tells one character before the clip ends.

The previous episode featured Fiona as she realized that being the primary guardian of her siblings stopped her from making a life for herself. Outside the Gallagher household, Frank decided to disown his children and create a new family with the people he found from the homeless shelter. Despite being total opposites, viewers saw how frank and Fiona dealt with similar issues. Fiona tried to successfully run Patsy's Pies, but she found herself being dragged in every direction by her siblings who always got in trouble. Frank, on the other hand, faced the same problems with his replacement family. He attempted to get his homeless family members shelter and food, something he never really did for his own children.

The seventh season of "Shameless" airs every Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET on Showtime.
