In season 1, Karen (Lip’s reckless love interest at the time) gets into an argument with her father, Eddie, who is disappointed in her for all of the sexual experience/habits that he finds out that she has had. He can no longer think of her as his innocent daughter; instead, he thinks of her as a hopeless sex addict. After ‘rekindling’ their relationship using his wallet, he brings her to a born-again-virgin program held by the church. There, he finds out just how many sexual adventures Karen has had and publicly outs her as a “whore”. Because Eddie sees Karen as an incompetent, unsavable young woman, he thinks of himself as a failed father- he later kills himself.
