* {{Forgiveness}}: This is the episode where Jeff forgives Pierce fully for the prank from last season. He gets righteously furious on seeing Pierce's father emotionally abusing Pierce and refusing to let him grow as a person, seeing exactly how Pierce became the man he is. So he uncancels the party, tells Pierce he deserves better than to live under an abusive father's shadow, and lays into Cornelius for hurting his only son.
