It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: 10 Worst Things The Gang Has Ever Done

Dee Reynolds can handle a lot of abuse, but being told she’s someone’s rock bottom apparently crosses a line. In “PTSDee”, she hooks up with a stripper, who then thanks her for showing him just how far off the rails his life had gone. Dee was his nadir - it can’t get any worse.

She takes this in her stride at first, determined only to prove him wrong. She believes that she’s a rock, not rock bottom, and latches onto Mike the stripper, intent on improving his life. For a while, this seems to work - she gets him a lucrative job playing video games with Frank for $20.00 an hour, finds him stripping work in his time of need, and even plans on reuniting him with his daughter.

It’s not too hard to see where this one is going. The episode ends with Mike dancing for some sorority girls, getting up close and personal in the face of one of them. Unsurprisingly, this is the moment of reunion between him and his daughter. It’s a great moment for Dee, in the short term at least. She may have hit rock bottom herself, though she doesn’t want to talk about it.
