The way Rob wrote the Charlie plot in Dennis Looks Like a Registered Sex Offender revolves heavily around the angle that Charlie needs Frank in his life financially, and is fighting for him back so he pay rent/make ends meet. Interestingly, that motivation was very obviously pivoted away from in the actual episode:
The script says Charlie won't miss him, but he needs him.
In the Episode, Charlie tells Frank he doesn't need him, but he'll miss him.
The scene which explains how Mac and Charlie started scheming together was cut, and it starts with the idea that Charlie is already struggling financially without Frank:
And, once again when the script has Charlie mentioning rent,
it's dropped from the scene.
(bonus there's a little cut moment of Frank moving back in)
Charlie wants Frank back, but he's competing purely for Frank's affection, the financial angle dropped completely. There is literally no mention of a need for Frank's money/rent that is kept in the actual episode, while the script revolved around it.
Dennis and Dee only need Frank financially, it's their unfortunate bind to him, the literal, only reason they cannot escape him is their need for his money (and that continues to this day). Charlie was being written on that path, maybe doomed to be the third kid, but that wasn't actually executed, and in fact played to read the exact opposite of the twins' need for Frank.
Charlie is happy living in squalor, he'll find a way to survive off pennies, he had been his whole life, but a year in and he can't let Frank go. It could have been because of his money, if played as written/intended, but it very obviously wouldn't be, and isn't, about that for Charlie
