Provided by: Fandom REPORT ISSUE Personality Ian is not as intelligent as Lip, but he is more physically fit. He is described by Frank to having an excellent work ethic in nearly everything he does. He is often uncertain of what he wants to do in his life, but once he makes a goal for himself he goes after it 100 percent. Ian is also self-conscious of his bipolar condition, which he inherited from his mother and often feels inadequate as it prevents him from certain things. He sometimes refuses to admit that he has a problem when his condition causes him to go off his usual path.

However, he was greatly surprised to learn Frank wasn't his biological father but rather his uncle. After meeting his presumed father (Frank's brother), Ian chose not to broach the subject and accepted Frank was his father, just as Lip and the others are his siblings. Interestingly enough, Frank also claims Ian is still his son while not scorning his sexuality and accepting him no matter what. Despite stating he hates him, Ian was worried when Mickey plotted to kill Frank for discovering he was gay. Ian also warned Frank of the danger he was in but listened to his father's words about his life. Ian was even present for Frank's time in the hospital when it looked he was going to die from liver failure and even seemed sad. However, he went back to his usual reaction to Frank after he got a new liver and survived. After Frank ruined Fiona's wedding, Ian took part in throwing Frank off the bridge, he wasn't surprised to see him alive when he returned and didn't try to help him in his moment of pain. Ian also expressed pleasure in Frank's disownment until Frank took revenge by taking Liam and blocking the family out of the house. This tension skyrocketed to the point where he and Lip were tortured by Frank with a raccoon and Frank created a new family while sending him away. Ian's anger mellowed when he introduced Trevor to Frank and still called Frank his father. However, his dislike remained as he tried to attack his father after he tried to return home but soon relented and slowly forgave his father when he helped Liam and fix the house. Ian made full amends with Frank after seeing his grief at Monica's death and hearing him express pride in them, despite their past. In the month after, Ian was also surprised to see Frank put in the effort to change and saved him along with the rest of the family from an armed meth-head while realizing Frank was holding back on him for years in his attacks on him. Though not entirely convinced but grateful for the rescue, Ian seemed to encourage Frank's actions and was pleased that he put in the effort to bond with Liam.

However, the flings ends on bad terms due to the men's complicated lives. first relationship was the neighborhood thug Mickey, who was the person that he wanted to be with all the time but he was devastated Mickey's pride and reaction to his bipolar disorder blocked that. His second relationship was with firefighter Caleb who was different from all his partners in that they were doing normal things, as they went on dates and confided in personal secrets: Ian being bipolar and Caleb being HIV positive. Caleb was also more encouraging, as he pushed Ian to fight to be a paramedic, something that was a success. Their relationship lasted a month, as Ian discovers Caleb was bisexual and cheating on him with women. Ian's next partner was Trevor, who is transgender and showed a mutual attraction to him. Though Ian just broke up with Caleb, he felt different with Trevor and after moving past differences, they slowly built a relationship once they found common interests.

While relaying information of where he has been to her, Fiona picks up on his slightly erratic behavior, such as laughing too loudly. She is concerned over his disinterest in returning back to school. Svetlana tells Mickey that she has kicked out Ian and Mickey comes to the Gallagher home to talk to Ian. After Fiona casually mentions that Ian is upstairs, Debbie, Carl, and Lip follow Mickey. Ian is ambiguous over what he has been up to, attributing joining the military to "relationship issues".

At the club, Ian tells Mickey that they have been invited to a party being hosted by one of his clients. When Mickey complains about not wanting to go, Ian attempts to kiss him. It is not until Mickey looks around and realizes that they will not be judged, that he and Ian kiss in the middle of the club, solidifying their relationship. Mickey is out of his element at the party, starting with not shaking hands with Ian's friend to having an awkward conversation with one of the other guests who asks Mickey what he does for a living. Ian and Mickey fall asleep at the party. The next day, Mickey is asked if the two are together, to which he says yes. The questioner says that Mickey is a "lucky dude".

Ian tries to convince Mickey not to harm Kevin as they walk into his house. They see Mandy having lunch with her abusive boyfriend, Kenyatta. Ian attempts to convince Mandy to come back to the Gallagher house with him. Kenyatta approaches, and Ian grabs a knife which he holds to Kenyatta's throat. Mickey calms him down, and they leave. Mickey finally asks Ian what has been happening to him and if he is abusing drugs. Ian looks just as confused by his behavior. They later attend Frank's wedding as Ian's behavior seems to have distracted Mickey from his plans of revenge. In "Emily" Ian and Mickey's relationship takes center stage. After Carl begins to notice the relationship between Mickey and Ian, Ian asks Mickey for confirmation of their relationship status. Mickey simply replies, "of course we are."

In "Lazarus", Mickey and Ian are an established couple for the first time, Fiona gets arrested but Ian has come crashing down from his manic episode. Mickey cannot get him out of bed, and asks the Gallagher's for their help. Debbie and Carl immediately recognize the symptoms Ian is exhibiting. Fiona later comes to the Milkovich house to see Ian. The family comes to the conclusion that Ian is having serious mental health issues, and is most likely bipolar like his mother. The season ends with Mickey refusing to let Ian have any psychiatric help and insists he will take care of him himself, though this is most likely out of lack of information than Frank's similar reaction to Monica submitting herself to a hospital for her illness. Season 5 In "Milk of the Gods", Ian is at the Milkovich house and is helping Svetlana with Yevgeny. Ian is running with Fiona and she asks if he has seen the doctor from the clinic, to which he replies that he "feels good" and that he doesn't need to go. Fiona responds with the insistence that the best time for him to go is when he is feeling good. Ian is at the shop with Yevgeny and Liam shopping when he runs into Kevin. They talk about the babies and then notice that there is a man flirtatiously watching Ian. Kevin asks if Ian minds the man watching him and Ian says that he does not. Kevin leaves, while Ian goes behind the grocery store with the man who has been staring at him. They give each other a hand job before leaving. Ian and the family are at the diner where Fiona works, when again, Ian notices one of the male employees watching him. The employee goes to the bathroom and Ian follows him. Once in the stall together, the employee gives Ian a blow job. These are all signs of Ian's increasingly reckless and impulsive behavior, which can be attributed to his bipolar diagnosis. In "I'm the Liver", Ian is getting ready to go to a soldier's funeral. At the funeral is a church group who is holding an anti-gay protest. After enduring their endless chanting (which is disrupting the funeral service), Ian becomes furious and begins to scream and swear at the group, threatening to kill them with a wooden cross that he took from someone's grave. Ian has just arrived back to the Milkovich house with Mickey and is still furious about the protest and searches for grenades and fully automatic weapons. Then Ian and Mickey have some friends over (gay guys) and they argue about who's gonna do something (i.e. a blow job). All of them say no, then Ian says "I'll do it" to which Mickey responds "No, you will go overboard and kill the son of a bitch." Then Mandy and the Protest leader are on the couch and Mandy is flirting with him. She tries to convince him to let her give him a blow job. He agrees, but then closes his eyes, which puts the plan in action where one of the guys gives the protest leader a blow job instead of Mandy and then they take a picture and post it all over the web. Ian continues to display erratic behavior as the season progresses and things come to a major halt when, Ian disappears for a full night during which he agrees to be in a porn, having unprotected sex. Mickey finds out and is furious, more importantly he realizes that Ian is sick and not making good choices. Ian refuses to accept his conditions and kidnaps Yevgeny, going on a road-trip. However, Ian goes off to a gay bar and leaves Yevgeny is a hot car (again not making good choices). A woman notices and calls the police, Ian takes Yevgeny, however, he is taken by the police when he displays erratic behavior. Lip and Fiona tell the police Ian has bipolar disorder. Ian feels bad for taking Yevgeny and listens to his family. He is put into a mental ward. Even then, he still refuses to believe that he has bipolar disorder. When Mickey and Fiona go to visit Ian, he is out of it, and distracted. His therapist interviews him and asks him questions, which results in the therapist clinically diagnosing him with bipolar disorder. In "South Side Rules", Ian tells Sammi all the things he did when he was still in the army. Ian tells her about how he is still wanted. Later on, Mickey and Ian go to the field where they had sex at a couple years ago. Ian starts opening a beer to drink. When Mickey tells him not to drink, because drinking on lithium can cause you to get drunk quicker, he gets angry and punches Mickey across the face. He states he wanted the "shit talking, bitch slapping piece of southside trash he fell for". Mickey gets mad and pushes and punches Ian, which is what he wanted. They begin rolling on the floor fighting, and when they stop, they begin laughing. They both start to drink beer. Later, Ian is completely drunk after drinking just one can of beer. Mickey and Ian are happily dancing and singing in the streets. Ian realizes they've never been on a real date. Mickey asks to borrow a shirt before they go on a date. When they walk in, Sammi tells Ian he's a great kid who will be going places, but he will have troubles ahead of him. Mickey and Ian look at her weirdly and two army men come out. Sammi called the army and told them about Ian. Mickey and Ian try to fight off the army men, but they had guns with them. Ian gets taken and Fiona is on her way back home. Mickey and Fiona are yelling at the army men, but it is no use. Sammi comes out and tells them this is how it feels to get someone they love taken away from them because Chuckie is in juvie due to Carl. He is released later, he reunites with Mickey before he watches him get chased by a vengeful Sammi and shooting at him since he tried to kill her. He soon reunited with Fiona and V before they watch the scene and the cops take both away. *Ian didn’t have anything planned for the next few days off working as an EMT. He was just relaxing and sitting down on the couch watching some random trash on the tv. His feet kicked up on the coffee table as he was drinking a beer. Letting time fly by like it was nothing. He was relaxing.*
