Cousin Patrick endures a traumatic ordeal when he is poisoned by Carl, narrowly escaping death, before ultimately recovering and demanding the Gallagher family's eviction to prevent legal action.
The Alarming Incident
During a period of intense deliberation among the Gallaghers regarding Patrick, a shocking decision is made by Carl (portrayed by Ethan Cutkosky). Carl takes it upon himself to poison Patrick using rat poisoning. This act is incredibly severe, leading Patrick to a critical state where he almost dies.
Recovery and Retribution
Despite the near-fatal poisoning, Patrick does recover from the ordeal. However, his recovery is quickly followed by a decisive demand aimed at the Gallagher family. Tony (Tyler Jacob Moore) visits Fiona to relay Patrick's intentions: in order to avoid him pressing charges for the poisoning attempt, Patrick insists that the Gallaghers be evicted that very same day. This ultimatum underscores the serious consequences of Carl's actions and Patrick's resolve to seek immediate retribution, albeit outside the legal system.
This series of events highlights the extreme measures taken within the family's turbulent dynamics and the immediate repercussions faced by Cousin Patrick and, consequently, the Gallaghers.
