Happy Thursday TV fans! The wait is finally over and it’s time to laugh out loud with Charlie, Mac, Dee, Frank, and Cindy? More to come on that! After watching the FXX network’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 13 episode 1 last night, I was introduced to a new Patty’s Pub that I was not familiar with. Everything seemed to be somewhat normal until I realized that someone was missing. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “The Gang Makes Paddy’s Great Again,” the gang is working with Cindy, played by Mindy Kaling, to change the image and perception of their bar to attract more customers. Meanwhile, Mac has put his best effort forward to change his body image again and surprises the gang with an eerie new toy that has something oddly familiar about it. My top 5 moments from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 13 episode 1 are:
5
“The unveiling of what?”
As the gang decides to come up with a plan to help improve Paddy’s image, Mac is convinced that he has the solution right in front of them…or right under his duster. Mac shows off his new and extremely muscular physique, suggesting that this could be a key component to the plan. The gang is hilariously underwhelmed by this, explaining that “he’s fat, he’s skinny, he’s muscular.” They write it off as a cry for attention, trying to move forward with the task at hand, but Mac continues to try and work his new physique into the plan for the rest of the episode.

“Is that a sex doll?”
Mac is beyond excited to show the gang what he bought and at this point, I was more focused on the fact that Glenn Howerton’s name was left off the main credits. While I was confused at Dennis’s absence initially, I was in for a shocking surprise when Mac revealed a sex doll with a striking image to Dennis. The gang is initially appalled by this, realizing that Mac is probably banging it the moment they leave the room. While Mac tries to convince them that his Dennis doll is there for “companionship,” his friends are not believing this for one second.

“The doll talks to you now…”
As if the sex doll wasn’t creepy enough, Mac begins to talk to it, as if he could hear Dennis speaking to him. While the gang initially thinks this is crazy, Charlie and Frank begin to hear it too and even Dee says, “It called me a bird.” Later in the episode, the gang tries to carry out Cindy’s plan to improve Paddy’s pub and everything initially seems to be going well until they continue to hear Dennis’s voice, judging them and making them feel inferior.

“You want me to talk to the doll?”
During the episode, the waitress continues to call Charlie over and over again and he is getting annoyed by her neediness, which is hilarious on its own. Charlie realizes that the perfect solution is right in front of him and brings over the Dennis doll to keep the waitress company. As soon as she begins complaining about something, he cuts her off and reminds her “that’s what the doll is for.” Later in the episode, Charlie walks in on the waitress in bed with the Dennis doll and he is shocked. While the waitress tries to explain that’s what it’s made for, Charlie tells her that she is cheating. The waitress breaks up with Charlie and Charlie begins hilariously punching the Dennis doll in the face because “Dennis is a bastard man” of course.

“You can go now.”
At the end of the episode, the real Dennis is back, sitting right next to the Dennis doll at Paddy’s Pub. Hooray! The gang is beyond excited to see him, but Cindy explains that he is not needed anymore. Unfortunately for Cindy, the gang votes her out, ready to accept Dennis back into their lives. Dennis’s harsh judgment returns too, as he tells Dee to “shut up bird” and informs Mac that he is looking fat, but we are sure happy to have him back. Stay tuned!

When Kallie Bennett, a jaded teenage girl plagued by her alcoholic mother and her peers molded out of sheer bubble gum perfection, chases after Alice in Wonderland herself, she ends up lost in her own version of Wonderland, which forces her to face her utmost fears and introduces her to familiar characters with a dark twist. Among these characters is Ches, a gorgeous vampire with a conflicted conscience, who becomes Kallie’s guide and blossoming love interest. She also crosses paths with Queen Hartley, a manipulative witch who has the power to strip away one’s memories and imagination, which brings a bone chilling new meaning to “off with their heads.” In The Search for Alice, Kallie starts to realize that her Wonderland is just as frightening as her own reality and that she cannot always run away from her problems. She must figure out a way to defeat Queen Hartley and return home before it is too late, but she soon learns that escaping Wonderland means leaving Ches behind forever.
