Danny DeVito

Feeling that they need to maintain a certain level of decorum during their appearance on a nationally televised game show, Dennis tries to get the rest of the gang to tone down their eccentricities.

With Charlie's help, Mac sets out to prove that his father is innocent of murder. Meanwhile, the Reynolds family attempt to intervene in Bill Ponderosa's plan to drink himself to death at Paddy's pub.

Believing the dynamics of the group has had some profound negative effects on them as individuals, Dennis decides that he needs to get away from his friends. Much to his displeasure, Mac and Frank follow suit. This allows Charlie and Dee the opportunity to spend time together without being burdened by peer pressure and criticisms.

After the recent activities of the fish factory across the street raises some red flags for the gang, Dennis and Mac have Dee go undercover as an employee to gather intelligence. Feeling left out and suspicious of their friends' secretive activities, Frank and Charlie decide to spy on them.

After hearing of Dee's success with group dating, the rest of the gang arranges to have the next events be held at Paddy's Pub in order to get some dates and make profit.
