Frank (William H. Macy) is ready to disown his family, while Fiona (Emmy Rossum) tries to get her life back on track in the upcoming episode of Showtime's hit family drama "Shameless" season 7.

Titled "Swipe, F..., Leave," next Sunday's episode will explore how the Gallaghers attempt to navigate their new family setup. According to the official synopsis via SpoilerTV, Frank will take Liam (Brenden Sims) under his wing and begins a new life barricaded on the top floor of the Gallaghers' residence. Fiona, on the other hand, adopts a more relaxed mood and focuses on running patsy's Pies as the store manager. Debbie (Emma Kenney) finds herself in trouble in the stroller business, Ian (Cameron Monaghan) attempts to become heterosexual, while Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) gets forced into abstinence.

The stars of the show recently caught up with The Hollywood Reporter, and they gave interesting hints on what lies ahead for the dysfunctional Gallagher family.

According to Macy, Frank still wants to feel loved by others. Now that his family is no longer concerned about him, he will continue searching for affection from another group of people. "Frank feels betrayed. He loves being the patriarch, so he decides to find a bunch of people who need a family and make them his new family," the veteran actor said.

Frank's replacement family will introduce a "Gallagher vs. Gallagher" theme this season. After being thrown out in an icy lake by his own kids and surviving a coma, Frank will feel "invincible" and "powerful" enoughto take huge risks and get more unhinged. "There's a lot of entrepreneurship going on. He starts a homeless shelter, and it's working like gangbusters," Macy added.

Meanwhile, the new version of Fiona after her failed relationship will begin to embrace no-strings-attached flings. Rossum revealed that Fiona's new relationships will be far more different than the previous seasons. "We have a lot more of an assortment this year, which makes me very happy," she teased.

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