[[WMG: Frank will die.]]
* Most of the episode will be a usual episode that shows the gang doing one of their ridiculous schemes. At the end of the episode, Frank will pass out drunk at Paddy's after celebrating the fact that one of the gang's schemes was successful for once. The next day, Sweet Dee and Charlie will wake up hung over, and have an argument about something irrelevant. They will try to wake Frank up do get him involved in the argument. Charlie: "Hey Frank, man, its time to wake up!". Dee: "Goddamn it Frank, get up; I'm trying to win an argument!". After Frank still does not wake up, and is clearly not breathing; Charlie and Dee will start to panic. Charlie: "Frank, come on, this isn't funny! Frank... come on, get up!". Dee: "Frank, don't fuck with us Frank! Come on ... get up... dad... dad?". Cut to title card: Frank Dies.

The following will spoil the ending of Literature/FlowersForAlgernon.

Think about it. At the end of Literature/FlowersForAlgernon, Charlie moved out of New York. Since this was an attempt to move somewhere where people didn't know him, he may have changed his last name to Kelly. He then got a job at Paddy's Pub (also cleaning), and he kills rats because they remind him of what he can remember of Algernon. He didn't remember his parents, so he probably met up with his "mother", who thinks Charlie is her real son because she's, well, crazy. Since Charlie's memory was decreasing, everything said about his past in the show was probably just made up by him, and everybody in the show plays along out of pity. The most clear evidence of this theory are Charlie's impossibly bad spelling, not to mention the fact that he's already borderline retarded.
** They did a FlowersForAlgernon parody in season 9 with Charlie. [[spoiler: The treatment was actually an experiment to see how he and the gang would react if Charlie thought he had become smarter.]]

Chalk it up to Charlie's poor understanding of the world in general, but that might be what he's referring to. An egg's albumen is white like milk when it's cooked, and he prefers them boiled. You ''could'' say it's actually cheese, but he does refer to the stuff by its proper name (plus, you know, you don't boil cheese).

[[WMG: Frank and possibly Mac are serial killers, not just Dennis. Or if they aren't already, they're going to become serial killers at some point.]]
Let's examine the evidence.
* In "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis" Mac openly states that he will strangle a family if they refuse to purchase a house. In the same episode, Frank almost assaults the same family with an umbrella.
* At the end of "Mac is a Serial Killer," Gary the serial killer walks into his apartment to find the Gang is inside it. Then Frank revs up his chainsaw and he very obviously kills him when the credits roll.
* Also, Frank constantly pulls his gun out at the slightest provocation. Don't really need to explain that one.
Dennis might be a sociopath, but even he's openly talked about killing people before. With the three above points, I think it's safe to say that if Frank and Mac aren't serial killers already, they have the mindset and the violent tendencies needed to become serial killers.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an entire series about a group of people ruining other people's lives. So what better way to end a series like that than with the Gang ruining literally everyone's lives? It'd also make for a great parody of the finale of Dinosaurs, too.

** Officially {{Jossed}} by the sixth episode of season 12, "Hero or Hate Crime." Mac comes out as a gay man for good.

** It is possible to have feelings during straight sex and be gay. Mac (along with the rest of the gang) is an emotionally immature, stunted, guy. It seems like it would be easy for him to become infatuated with someone or emotionally-dependent because he's so desperate and needy. Plus, Dee and Dennis's mom is the only example of that happening. That coupled with that we as the audience still don't know what was going on in Mac's mind during that incident is kind of flimsy. If anything, "The Storm of the Century" where Mac hides in the bunker enjoying gawking at the weatherwomen is more proof of any possible bisexuality.

** Mac brings up his fetish for older women again in "The Gang Gives Frank An Intervention", where he tries to hook up with Dennis and Dee's aunt. He even explicitly mentions that it was because the sex he had with their mom was the best sex he'd ever had in his life. Still, unless this gets directly talked about again in a future episode, all of these instances of Mac being genuinely attracted to women could be chalked up to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness and CharacterizationMarchesOn.

** Given the tone of the series this would have made an excellent deconstruction of the group as a whole. Much like the Seinfeld finale. The only one that would come out of this on a positive light is Cricket. Who won a lawsuit that he filed against the crew for playing a part in the downfall that is his life. He wins the case and uses some of the money for surgery to repair the injuries the gang gave him then cleans himself up and leaves a better person.

We definitely see that there's so much we don't see in the confessions from "The Gang Goes to Hell: Part 2". There's a RashomonStyle clash of perspective in "Who Pooped the Bed?" that suggests that the gang's perspectives are tenuous. The show has always followed closely to the gang's point of view with regard to them navigating the world. We know they're drunks which can account for skewed perspective, like someone else said here. They're also angry people who hate each other in a lot of ways. In "The Gang Group Dates", Dee says "go find the dirty one or the gay one", pointing to that being how they see each other.

They're cartoonish people. They were to begin with but have gotten more cartoonish as the seasons led on. In real life - without a room of writers constructing their dialogue - they'd be cringier and more depressingly, insufferably, irredeemably horrible and also a lot more mundane without the comedic relief. So we can assume that there's a lot in their world that we're not getting from what's shown alone.
