FX

Dennis and Mac cast doubt on Frank’s hunting ability, suggesting he targets a man who could hunt him back. Though Frank refuses a “manhunt”, Mac and Dennis’ curiosity is piqued, and they decide Cricket is the ideal prey. This is the episode’s lighter story.

After Charlie and Dee continually steal Frank’s meat, he claims that they have inadvertently “savoured” human meat. The two laugh it off only for cravings to kick in. After eating all manner of meats, including a whole monkey, they find themselves in a morgue with a hot plate.

Charlie and Dee pay the attendant the $50 he usually charges for ten minutes alone with the bodies. Unable to bring themselves to eat a black corpse, they wrestle with the possibility that they’re racist and cannibals, but ultimately decide corpse meat is not for them.

When the two are in the middle of rubbing seasoning into a homeless kid’s arm, Frank arrives and reveals they ate raccoon and likely had a tapeworm. However, the episode ends with Dee and Charlie chasing Frank with knives, threatening to chop off his calf muscle.
