#the dennis spiralling was my little bit of indulgent delusion

[margle]

my additions

some elements that fit with what we know:

the animated plane from the trailer could represent frank flying to russia to play in a chess tournament (frank vs. russia)

wild guess for the gang gets cursed: the gang gets haunted by the ghost of jerry (frank's tapeworm). this ep could also be about being 'haunted' by figures from their past. (evidence: they joked about it on the pod). the gang hiding behind the pool table could be from this ep. so could frank bashing that gull in - a haunted bird???

the animated teeth from the trailer fit with the description of the charlie's teeth in the frank shoots episode summary

"injury liability" from the press releases will probably be the gang inflates or frank shoots.

the found toilet in the trailer will probably be from the gang inflates. as in the summary it says charlie's apartment gets bigger

stuff that doesn't fit with the released ep titles:

the "mental health" aspect of the press release. maybe a dedicated ep in 7, 8 or 9?

dee's dinner date and the new dennis system. maybe a dennis system part 2? with dennis observing her date to help her? this could also tie in his mental health: maybe this is his way of trying to be a better person.

mac reading that text about the bar invited to be on a show. it /could/ be the set up for the celebrity booze ep, but dee saying they don't want to look like 'jerks' doesn't fit. this could be a dedicated ep.

mac and chase utley in a cemetery. maybe the gang gets cursed?

mac having an online bf

therefore the other eps could be:

episode 7: dennis has a breakdown. dennis has a breakdown and tries to be a better person, deciding to help his friends get romantic partners. dee goes on a disastrous date and mac starts dating someone online.

episode 8: the gang goes on (insert reality tv show). the gang gets invited to go on a reality show. mac decides not to go on the show, because he is meeting his new online boyfriend who turns out to be chase utley. when dennis finds out, he spirals again, causing him to have another breakdown on tv.

alternate version with inverted events:

episode 7: the gang goes on (insert reality tv show). the gang gets invited to go on a reality show. mac won't stop talking about the new online boyfriend he is talking to, annoying everyone there. the show goes terribly wrong, causing dennis to have another mental breakdown live on tv. he decides to seek help and see a therapist

episode 8: dennis fails at being a better person. his new therapist gives him homework to do something good. he decides to teach mac and dee a new dennis system, to help dee get back in the dating scene and to help mac prepare for his upcoming date with the new bf. dee goes on a disastrous date, with dennis becoming increasingly frustrated. dennis, infuriated with her failure, decides being a better person is not for him and sabotages mac's date. mac meets his bf (chase utley???) and takes him to a cemetery, as per dennis's advice.

hmmmmmmmmm
