1701 - The Gang Goes to a Dog Track

Written by: Charlie Day & Ross Maloney*

Directed by: 

Airing as Episode ?? on _____________, 2025

What we know:

• This episode was filmed, in part, on October 17-19, 2024 at Santa Anita Park:

• Charlie has teased that this episode has a classic, old episode feel to it. 

Predictions:

• Based on production order, the BTS photo Rob shared from the first day of filming is from this episode:

Glenn is clearly out of wardrobe, while Charlie and Rob are in wardrobe. This could imply a Charlie/Mac team up for (at least portions of) this episode

• The "Standards and Practices" notes Rob shared on Instagram Stories back in October is part of this episode
• In connection with the foregoing, Dennis is harvesting dog semen for a breeding purposes (perhaps trying to create their own OP racing dog?)

Questions:

• If the dog semen is connected with creating their own racing dog, what does that mean for these events happening on page 26 (near the very end of the episode)? Is this some kind of safety measure

Notes: 

• *The writers on this episode could be swapped with EMTs, as filming does not always happen in production order (e.g. #1602 was filmed before #1601)
• With the knowledge that The Gang Fucks Up Abbott Elementary is airing as Episode 1, Dog Track being #1701 makes IMDb credits a little more confusing, at the moment. These two episodes could have some future crossed wires until airing order is official.
