The Gang's narcissism spins out of control, as usual. First they decide to do good: adopting a dumpster baby, volunteering with environmental rights activists, and trying to make the city safer through vigilantism. Then they decide to become famous: attempting to make a viral video as news reporters and club hoppers, as well as trying out for the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Gang's jealousy and greed come roaring back when they fight over Barbara's inheritance, after she wills the house to Dennis. Dee gets jealous of her high school friend and decides to start her very own sweatshop. The entire gang struggles to compete with a local bar, even attempting to sell Paddy's Pub to a corporate chain. The Gang are also suspected of various crimes: Mac may be a serial killer and Dennis is accused of being a registered sex offender. Meanwhile, the gang inadvertently sells some cocaine bought on the cheap, forcing them to turn to crime and prostitution to earn the money back before the Mob whacks them.
Finally, the Gang is forced to save themselves from Charlie's mistakes. First, the McPoyles get revenge on the Gang for revealing their false molestation charge (from the first season) and inadvertently shooting their brother Doyle (from earlier in the third season) after he was invited to the Eagles' training camp, taking the entire gang hostage. Then Charlie's illiteracy strikes again and the Gang must battle their enemies (and themselves) to save the bar from being given away as a dance contest prize.
