    I've watched a fair few comedies this season, and I think that this episode really was amongst the best, if not the best of them so far.

    It starts off with Frank's suspicions that Mac is a serial killer who has been reported about in the press. The reality is that Mac is in fact secretly dating a transvestite and doesn't want the gang to find out.

    What follows is comedy gold, as the gang seek to find solid evidence of Mac's guilt whilst Charlie, on a recent viewing run of CSI (I believe) appoints himself as Mac's solicitor, confusing his confessions of dating the transvestite with an admission of guilt to being the serial killer.

    The highlight of the episode was perhaps Dee and Dennis trying to tempt the real killer to kill a whore looking Dee and then the introduction of Pepper Jack - absolutely brilliant. Or even their attempt to wear the shoes of a serial killer, and chase that blonde girl from the cafe.

    This really was a brilliant episode. Really enjoyable, genuinely funny and great acting come together. My favorite episode so far this season! Good work.moreless

    A MySpace exclusive, this is what Sunny is all about. After not having a new episode for about a year, this episode is exactly what I needed to get prepared for Season 3. Everything that you love about the series returns in this. The gang making fun of Charlie, the gang ignoring Frank, and everyone and everything being over the top. If you've never seen an episode before, this is a great place to start. However, if you're a Sunny diehard and have watched every episode multiple times like myself, you'll be treated to several subtle jokes / characters that take you back to the good times Seasons 1 and 2 provided - Dee being on crack, the waitress hating Dennis, and even the return of Carmen. All in all, a classic episode and a must see.moreless

    • Carmen: I'm getting tired of this. I feel like you're afraid that people will see us together. Mac: No, I don't care if people see us together. I just don't want them to think that we're dating. Carmen: We are dating. Mac: Look, I don't think it's too much to ask for you to keep this quiet, considering your condition, right? Look, it's not like I'm ashamed of you. I'm ashamed of myself. Edit
    • Pepper Jack: Is that Fraggle Rock? Dennis: Yeah. Pepper Jack: Oh, Pepper Jack love Fraggle Rock. Edit
    • Frank: The Human Anatomy. He's got a half a chapter highlighted on the removal of human genitalia. Charlie: Hey, Frank, what guy hasn't done some extensive research on his own genitalia, all right? Don't say you buddy, because I woke up to you doing some pretty frantic research last night, pal.

    • Mac's interrogation by Dennis in Gary's apartment towards the end of the episode is an allusion to the Dateline NBC segment "To Catch a Predator" with Chris Hansen. Edit
