At Amy's intricately planned Thanksgiving dinner, Jake goes "full Santiago" (binder and all) in order to impress her father, a former cop. With Jake and Amy's focus elsewhere, Charles is left on turkey duty and Holt helps Pimento cope after learning he can no longer work for the NYPD.

On Thanksgiving, alcohol provides a temporary fix to Jake and Amy's parental problems, and a pilfered pie awakens the ruthless interrogator in Holt.
