If you think about it for too long and start looking at it in a different way, this episode really could be not a confirmation, but a rejection that anything macdennis will actually happen. Like Dennis this entire episode is genuinely pleading to the audience for them to see him as himself, not strapped to another person in a relationship that doesn’t exist. Yes of course him denying and denying that him and Mac are an item is funny, and you (me) can definitely view it as him projecting and trying not to come to terms with the fact that their relationship does toy with the line between romantic and platonic. But as he’s speaking to the audience (us) he’s being vulnerable in a way we typically don’t see him. In previous seasons he’s always putting on a mask of this perfect god-like being, that’s how he wanted to be perceived. But now he receives no thrill from it, he just wants to be himself; be able to get through something as simple as a simulated dinner and be normal. So this relates to anti macdennis because this is RCG basically bringing to attention that fact that yes their relationship is slightly questionable when it comes to what it is vs isn’t, but ultimately no matter what they write you’ll (the audience in the apartment) always assume that they’re a couple. So this gets very meta about them telling us what it really is vs what we think it is.
