⚠ Spoiler alert This recap gives away what happens in this episode.
Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Barbara sleeps with Mac to arouse Frank’s jealousy, so Dennis decides to seduce Mac’s mom as payback. And Frank’s decision to put Charlie in charge at the bar prompts an orgy of backstabbing and double dealing, with sex as the weapon of choice.
Our Take
A properly ugly hour where everyone weaponizes sex and nobody learns a thing, which is exactly the point. The revenge-seduction premise gets plenty of mileage out of the gang’s pettiness, and Charlie’s brief taste of power at the bar is the highlight. Some jokes overstay their welcome, but the mean-spirited momentum mostly carries it. Worth your time if you like the show at its nastiest.
