Season synopsis

Mac has lost the weight he had gained last season. Dennis and Dee have to decide whether or not to "pull the plug" on their ailing grandfather, who is a former Nazi; meanwhile, Mac, Charlie and Frank set off in search of a watercolor possibly painted by Adolf Hitler. With the South Philly waste management workers on strike, Frank concocts a plan to get the contract to collect the city's trash; The Gang realizes they've run out of original money-making schemes. In a police department, The Gang explains why they crashed Maureen and Liam's wedding, and start to fight all invited "zombies" - Halloween, baby! Charlie and Dee find a romantic connection with two members of one of Philly's wealthiest families, while the rest of The Gang tries to get their piece of the "high life" action. The Gang gets Freudian in the therapist's office, who finds Dennis' psychology to be abnormal.

As Charlie's mom battles the lung cancer, Mac, Charlie and Dennis are holding a "Beef & Beer & Jesus" fundraiser at Paddy's; Frank and Dee are on a quest to find buried treasure. With Charlie under his wing, Frank cleans up so he can get his hands dirty and help out his old company with one last big merger; and Dee, Dennis and Mac try to get some benefits out of Frank's "new" status. The whole Gang falls into an obsession with computer games. The whole Gang takes a night off from Paddy's to put on airs at Guigino's Italian Restaurant. In the season finale, Frank accidentally hits Dennis' car, which turns into a real tragedy when Dennis spills his cereal all over himself. Of course, in order to resolve this legal issue, The Gang decides to hold a trial at Paddy's, with Dee and Charlie serving as lawyers.
