He didn't mind as he wanted the experience to boost his reputation. In his trial, Fiona wants him to grovel, but he instead insults the judge and doesn't name his drug dealer, which lands him a year in juvenile prison. In Season 5, he uses his nephew, Chuckie, to deliver drugs but gets caught when his half-sister Sammi notifies the police.
In his adolescence, he detaches from Frank though he continues to love and show concern for him at times even when angry with him. Nonetheless, he cares deeply about his family, including his father Frank, despite the latter’s complete and utter failure as a parent and role model. Carl does seem to actually be a relatively good child, however he is heavily affected by a completely dysfunctional childhood and family. We see Carl's first love interest, Bonnie, in Season 4, but their relationship ends when Bonnie disappears with her family to an unknown fate.Ĭarl's interests include drinking, weapons, explosives, and death. Carl’s delinquent side is somewhat on hold in Season 3, but he does end up shaving his head due to Frank convincing him he has cancer. In Season 2, his love for selling drugs starts when his grandmother Peggy convinced him to get prescription drugs to make meth. Carl is seen as the trouble maker in Season 1, after almost facing expulsion.
