She had the following to say: "This season we do a really fun episode called “Mac Day,” where it’s implied that each person on the show gets their day where everyone else has to do what they want to do all day long. You don’t see each person’s day, but we open on the morning of Mac Day, and you see what [Mac, played by Rob McElhenney] makes us do all day—to kind of walk in his shoes. That’s one of my favorites. I think it’s hilarious, and Sean William Scott guest-stars on that episode. There’s an episode I’m really excited about where Dee starts to kind of make it big in the standup-comedy world, which is very exciting."
- Possible episode titles for season 9 so far include: 1)."The Gang Broke Dee" 2)."Mac Day" 3)."The Gang Saves The Day" 4)."Flowers for Charlie" 5)."The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award" 6)."The Gang Squash Their Beefs" 7)."The Gang Gets Quarantined" 8)."Mac and Dennis Buy a Timeshare" 9)."The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 6" 10)."Gun Fever Too: Still Hot"
