INT. GALLAGHER HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - EVENING
Fiona is hosting a lively party at the Gallagher house. The place is filled with friends and neighbors enjoying the music and the festive atmosphere. Carl, Cameron, and the rest of the Gallagher siblings are mingling and enjoying themselves.
Carl
(To Cameron)
This is how we usually unwind. Fiona goes all out with these parties.
Cameron
(Smiling)
It's definitely lively. I'm glad to see everyone having a good time.
INT. GALLAGHER HOUSE - KITCHEN - LATER
The kitchen is now mostly empty, except for Liam, who has stumbled into the room looking disoriented. A stash of cocaine is lying on the counter. Liam, curious and confused, starts to touch it. He accidentally spills some onto the floor and, feeling unwell, collapses on the kitchen tiles.
INT. GALLAGHER HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Fiona is in the middle of a conversation when she hears a commotion from the kitchen. She rushes over, her expression turning from excitement to horror as she sees Liam unconscious on the floor.
Fiona
(Panicking)
Liam! Oh my God!
Carl
(Running over)
What happened?!
Fiona
(Trying to wake Liam)
Liam, come on! Wake up!
Cameron
(Quickly assessing the situation)
We need to get him to the hospital now!
INT. HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM - NIGHT
The emergency room is busy as doctors and nurses attend to Liam. Cameron and Carl are anxiously waiting in the waiting area, while Fiona paces back and forth, clearly distressed.
Fiona
(Desperately)
Is he going to be okay? Please tell me he's going to be okay!
Doctor
(Entering the waiting area)
We're doing everything we can. He's stable for now, but he did ingest a significant amount of cocaine. We'll keep him under observation.
Cameron
(Relieved but concerned)
Thank you, Doctor.
Fiona
(Frustrated)
How did this happen? How did he get hold of that?
Carl
(Looking guilty)
I should have kept a closer eye on him. I'm sorry.
Fiona
(Tearfully)
It's not your fault. I just want him to be okay.
INT. HOSPITAL - POLICE INTERROGATION ROOM - LATER
While Liam is being treated, the police arrive to investigate the situation. Fiona, clearly distressed, is being questioned about the cocaine and the party.
Officer
(Questioning Fiona)
We need to know who supplied the cocaine. It's important for our investigation.
Fiona
(Defiantly)
I don't know. I don't know who brought it.
Officer
(Pressing)
This is serious. If you don't cooperate, you could face legal consequences.
Fiona
(Frustrated and tearful)
I'm not protecting anyone. I just don't know. I'm not going to name someone if I don't know who it was.
The officer's demeanor becomes more stern as Fiona continues to refuse to provide information. Eventually, Fiona is arrested for her non-cooperation.
INT. HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM - LATER
Carl and Cameron are still waiting, their concern for Liam overshadowed by the unfolding legal troubles with Fiona. They look at each other, sharing a moment of silent frustration and worry.
Carl
(Defeated)
This isn't how things were supposed to go. We were just trying to have a good time.
Cameron
(Supportively)
It's going to be okay. We'll get through this. Liam's health is the most important thing right now.
Carl
(Nodding)
Yeah, you're right. We need to focus on him.
INT. GALLAGHER HOUSE - LATER
The house is quiet and somber now. The party has ended, and the once lively atmosphere is replaced by a heavy silence. Carl sits alone in the living room, looking around at the mess and feeling the weight of the night's events.
Carl
(To himself)
What a mess. I hope Liam's okay.
As Carl sits lost in thought, the reality of the situation starts to sink in. The Gallagher family's chaos has once again disrupted their lives, and the road ahead looks uncertain.
