As a result, Dee and Dennis decide to go to Penn to study, and to their surprise, Mac is already there. Additionally, Frank is also there, who wants to recreate the events of Back to School in real life.

Charlie goes for another test, and after listening to his answers, the lady asking the questions calls for other professors. After the other professors arrive to question Charlie in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 18 Episode 3, they are left impressed. At one point, he even says that the woman sitting in front of him has two pencils in her left pocket. He figures this out because of the way she walks, as she steps lightly on that foot to avoid getting poked.

However, Charlie has no interest in knowing what condition he has, as just when the professors were about to reveal what condition he has, he just walks away. On the other hand, Dennis, Dee, and Mac don't find their names on the result list. They soon realize that they were never enrolled in the college in the first place.

The group reunites with Frank and Charlie, who tell them that he doesn't need anyone to tell him who he is. The episode ends with the gang believing that the test was pointless and didn't really define them.
