GameStop pre-Black Friday sale has begun, with savings matching most other retailers. There are a few extra surprises, like an incredible Black Friday 2018 price on Horizon Zero Dawn, for example.

And that's exactly what happened last week in Always Sunny's Season 13 finale, "Mac Finds His Pride." For more than a decade, The Gang has flirted with seriousness, planting a few seeds here and there for storylines that could grow into something a bit more meaningful and layered - from Charlie's unrequited love to Dennis deciding to settle down - but none of them rounded out into anything honorable. But back in Season 12, when Mac came out to his friends in the episode "Hero or Hate Crime?," the series unearthed its unexpected, stunning heart.
