What Season 4 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Season four kicks off with the Paddy's Pub gang landing in trouble because of their own self-interest. Charlie, Mac and Dennis, along with Dee and Frank, fight over every dollar and every opportunity, though they almost never come out ahead. Charlie and Dee steal Frank's meat, and he responds with revenge that drives them to hunt for human food. Mac and Dennis, for their part, want to hunt something that can fight back. Then hoarding gasoline to sell later, a model contest and a sign for the bar draw the group into new messes. Nobody thinks about the common good, and every twisted plan gets them into bigger problems.
