Francis, Cheap & Out of Control is the 22nd episode of 12 oz. Mouse overall. This is the first episode of Season 3. It aired on April 1, 2020.

Plot:[]

A reporter heads to Cardboard City and has questions for everybody, but of course, we can’t get answers from anyone. Eventually, the poor guy gets shot at, but he doesn’t die though questions the reasoning. We get to see a bunch of familiar faces and see what everyone has been up to since the INVICTUS episode. Seems like everything’s rather status quo.
