The gang imagines what it would be like to have a service snail, shares their opinions on ghosts, and ponders what they actually learned in college.

Finally, Will and Rusty draft party themes and a favorite: sayings that don’t exist.

Will and Rusty figure out which New Girl characters they really are, and Rusty follows up on his complaint that nobody wants him. The gang also breaks down a bizarre run-in with a livestreamer on the Venice boardwalk, the invention of the Testicuzzi, and a Playmate pitch that’ll fix your bad handwriting. Plus, they unpack the mystery of 2D lunch, the single-ingredient sandwich, and an Am I the A**hole involving a runaway customer. Finally, the boys draft It’s Always Sunny plots that don’t exist—and things that happened “back in their day.”
