⚠ Spoiler alert This recap gives away what happens in this episode.
Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Mac, Dennis, and Charlie take advantage of high gas prices by investing in barrels of gasoline and selling them door to-door; Dee and Frank plot to brand Bruce Mathis as a terrorist leader when they find out that he plans to give their money to a Muslim community center.
Our Take
A goofy, high-energy half hour where Charlie’s “wildcard” routine earns its spot in the show’s hall of fame and the door-to-door gasoline scheme delivers plenty of dumb laughs. The Dee and Frank subplot is weaker and mostly filler, but the main trio’s escalating incompetence keeps things moving. Not the season’s peak, though a reliably fun watch.
