Ep 7. Two Turkeys

When it comes to Thanksgiving, tensions tend to run high as family members gather around the table to enjoy a festive meal together. In episode 7 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine's fifth season, titled "Two Turkeys," the squad's Thanksgiving plans take a hilarious turn as they split up into teams to task themselves with the ultimate culinary challenge: cooking two turkeys.

As the episode begins, we see Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and his girlfriend Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) planning a romantic, low-key Thanksgiving dinner for two. However, their plans are thrown into chaos when Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) decides to assign them to turkey duty, tasking them with cooking a turkey for the entire squad. To make matters worse, they'll be going up against Sergeant Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews) and his wife Sharon (Merrin Dungey), who are known for their culinary skills.

Hoping to gain an advantage, Jake and Amy head to a high-end grocery store to purchase the perfect turkey. But when they arrive, they discover that the last turkey has been sold, leaving them with no choice but to take on an unorthodox challenge: cooking two smaller turkeys instead. As they head back to the precinct, tensions begin to rise as the two teams prepare for the ultimate Thanksgiving cook-off.

Meanwhile, back at the precinct, Detective Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) finds herself in charge of organizing the annual "polar bear swim," a tradition where officers take a dip in the freezing cold ocean for charity. As she struggles to motivate her colleagues to participate, she catches the eye of a firefighter named Marcus (Nick Cannon), who offers to lend a helping hand.

As the squad prepares for their Thanksgiving meal, tensions continue to rise as they begin to taste each other's dishes. Jake and Amy's unconventional turkey dish is met with mixed reviews, while Terry and Sharon's bird receives universal praise. However, as the teams frantically try to put the finishing touches on their dishes, disaster strikes when the fire alarm goes off, causing chaos throughout the precinct.

In the end, "Two Turkeys" delivers a hilarious episode that perfectly captures the absurdity of Thanksgiving traditions.
