Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
Okay. So I suppose this wasn't my all-time favorite Always Sunny episode. Some good stuff, but also a few missed opportunities as well. In fact, I felt like some of this episode's comedy was stifled by the message it was trying, very bluntly at times, to put forth about mental hospitals shutting down and the dwindling care of our society's mentally ill.
So at times in "Psycho Pete Returns," which featured Charlie and Mac getting over-excited about a high school friend (the famed Psycho Pete who we only heard about back in "The High School Reunion Part 2: The Gang's Revenge") coming for a visit, The Gang's sentiments toward the disabled weren't meant to isolate them as outliers and misfits, but rather have them mirror, in an extreme way, the overall apathy shared by society. Which isn't what The Gang does best.
