My Season 16 Episode Summary "Predictions" as of the trailer release

Here we go, I'm gonna piece together what we know from BTS and the trailers and try and connect a few dots for my own "episode summaries", starting with what we know the most about:

1605 - "The Gang Goes Bowling": Dee puts together a girls' bowling team comprising of herself, Artemis, The Waitress, and Gail the Snail. The Guys (probably inviting themselves) bowl along side them, making everything a competition. The competition seems to move to the arcade at some point (and Dennis breaks his hand). The McPoyles work at (or own) the venue. There's slow-mo shots used and a flashback (as confirmed on TASP). Flashback is likely to some point between 1987-1990 and takes place at the same venue/arcade and a children's party room there. Guest starring Leo McElhenney (and based on, yk, familial relations, he's likely playing a young Mac). Also, Chili cheese fries.

"Bar Rescue: Paddy's Pub" / the MITM Episode: Paddy's is asked to be featured on the reality show (or some kind of similar show) Bar Rescue. The Gang are hesitant to get involved, as they're worried they'll come off looking like assholes/dumb (as they are) but are convinced with the draw of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul being involved with Dos Hombres Mezcal. Frank goes business man, with Charlie acting as his lackey and driver. Charlie mostly wants to be involved because he's convinced they're Hal and Malcolm. Mac and Dennis are trying their hardest to make Paddys look classy/impressive, acting as Hugh Honey and Vic Vinegar (the rich gay couple) who own Paddy's.

"The Gang Learn About Inflation": Frank discovers there's a toilet in Charlie's apartment. This turns to a fight/conversation about their living conditions/rent and the current increased cost of living. On a similar issue, Dee is dealing with rent control (in some way or another). Mac and Dennis are back to being stupid about things, and Frank tries to teach them about inflation. Somehow, inflatable objects get involved and subsequently run over.

1601 - "D.E.N.N.I.S System: Guys Edition": Dee and Mac are both embarrassing the shit out of themselves in the dating pool, and Dennis steps up to teach them what he knows. He gives them a lesson on the D.E.N.N.I.S System, revised to now work on men. Dee's date is absolutely horrible. Mac's is just as bad when he ends up having some kind of allergic reaction. (Frank/Charlie Plot tbd or as follows:)

"Charlie in his Americas/ US-Russia Relations": Charlie and Frank take a trip to Old Lady House and meet/celebrate Charlie's Sisters birthdays (ft. Uncle Jack). While there, they watch something on the TV that's Russian-US related and something happens that has the two of them go full-send invested in representing/supporting America and storming some kind of Russia UN building. This naturally turns into Frank firing his guns.

If this isn't 1601, This might be the same episode as...

"Poppins Dies": Mac's dog dying spurs a visit from Chase Utley, Animal Rights activist, and the two finally get to have a catch (albeit at the pet cemetery...)

"Dee Fights for Gender Equality": The Gang are in the car together. Charlie and Mac (and Frank?) go over to their moms' house where Bonnie injures herself. Dee is somehow involving herself in men's hockey, and fighting for the right for women to be involved. Gritty makes an appearance. Meanwhile Dennis is dealing with his own mental health. Almost certain this is when he takes a trip to a building and is doing squats out the front, holding a trash bag.

Still on the docket, not sure where or how to insert these at this point:

Beach episode or multiple scenes at the beach

Rickety Cricket

Dee and Frank break into a house

Asian Market
