Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the FXX network’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 14 episode 1 season premiere, I learned that the gang has a softer side, really embracing what makes a rom-com truly special. Although there seems to be some confusion on what a Meet Cute actually is. 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 Gets Romantic,” Charlie and Frank place an ad for their luxurious Airbnb, which features sleeping in the same bed with them. Meanwhile, Mac and Dennis try out their own version, and Dee tries to land a part as well, even though romantic leads are supposed to be likable. My top 5 moments from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 14 episode 1 season premiere are:

“It’s a good ad…”
“Gruesome twosome seek exotic Europeans for week long rental in luxurious one room apartment…bed to be shared with owners.” Charlie thinks it is a good ad, but Dee and the others are not really so sure. We learn that Charlie and Frank are trying out their own version of an Airbnb, although Mac and Dennis think they are trying to steal their own “Meet Cute” idea, which Charlie confuses for “meat cubes.” Either way, this should be interesting…

“That’s a hard no for me.”
Charlie and Frank are extremely excited to meet Alexi and Nikki, but they change their minds when two Austrian men show up at their door. They try to go to bed early, but it appears that the bed may now finally be too crowded, as they start to have second thoughts about their decision…although there is yodeling.

“Pushing away a soulmate.”
After Mac and Dennis’s plan backfires when their guest, Lisa shows up at their own Airbnb with her husband, Greg, they decide to get Dee on board. Mac sends Greg on a mission to get a plunger and Dee happens to be waiting in the same hardware store and it’s the only plunger left.
Dee comments on how “it’s charming and cute and fun how we met over a plunger,” but Greg is not so convinced and decides to just go to another hardware store. We know you are much more than a “diversionary plot twist,” Dee!

“That’s not romantic…or comedic.”
After hearing Lisa and Greg arguing over someone named Teddy, they assume that one of them had an affair. Mac comes to the conclusion that perhaps the Meet Cute is meant for him and tells Greg how he feels with a moving soundtrack playing in the background. Greg explains that Teddy is their son who died and suddenly everything is not so romantic or comedic, as Dennis realizes that he doesn’t have a music soundtrack for a dead kid…

“I love you!”
It initially seemed like we would not get the satisfying rom-com movie ending, but Charlie and Frank realize that they should have never kicked out Alexi and Nikki and decide to rush after them at the bus stop, especially when Charlie sees that they left them a present of actual meat cubes.
Alexi says that they will return in one year and Charlie and Frank promise to be waiting for them, as Charlie shouts, “I love you!” After all, he had Frank at “gash.” Stay tuned for more Sunny fun!
