Episode Synopses
After Frank shoots Dennis and Dee, they resolve to take Frank’s gun away. Mac and Charlie go on a road trip with their moms to get their inheritances -- for Mac, it’s letters written by his grandfather which have fallen into his Uncle Donald’s hands, while for Charlie, it’s a jar of teeth that is now in the hands of his sisters, Bunny and Candy.

I thought Mac\Charlie's arc was pretty fun. Charlie's exasperation with Mac ignoring his Uncle's affection was exactly the kind of comedy I love about IASIP. And their mother's odd couple thing is always funny to me. The sisters came out of nowhere and added nothing though. That was just weird to me.
I admit I just didn't get the message very clearly with Frank, Dennis and Dee's thing. I feel like I'm missing some social commentary but I wasn't sure where they were going with the 'dogs last day' thing. Maybe some kind of general comment on US sentiment towards firearms but maybe I need to rewatch to get it. I will say Frank and his gun antics always make me laugh so I did enjoy it, just not sure I got it.
I loved the sisters' appearance. They were briefly mentioned in season one and then kinda forgotten.
I'm really hoping they do something with Donald McDonald, so much potential with that character to waste it on a single episode.
