* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After he was PutOnABus in "[[Recap/ParksAndRecreationS02E24 Freddy Spaghetti]]", Mark essentially seemed to be forgotten about, if not erased altogether. In this episode, the crew assembles a sale to raise money for some of Jerry's medical bills and Ann contributes by selling off several items she accumulated from her previous relationships; she has a box of items for every other ex-boyfriend she's had ''except for Mark''.

-->'''Jerry:''' Leslie, you can't actually plan your future. I mean, there's no guarantees in this world. As long as the people that I love are a part of my life, I will be just fine.

Leslie and Ann view houses for Leslie and Ben to move into once he returns from Washington DC. After viewing a few, Leslie believes she's found the perfect place and writes a up a lease with the seller. In Washington, Ben announces that the campaign he has been working on is complete, and they have won. While April leaves immediately to return to Pawnee, Jennifer Barkley talks to Ben about his future career, offering him the opportunity to work on another campaign. However, when he tells Leslie, she is upset, as she was counting on him returning to Pawnee shortly. Ben promises that everything is still preliminary.

Leslie goes with Ann to Chris' Halloween movie screening at City Hall to get her mind off of Ben's news. At the screening, Donna loudly comments on the movie, as well as live-tweeting her reactions to it. Leslie discusses her problems about Ben with Ann, who suggests they scare Tom, who has just left the movie screening to use the bathroom, to cheer her up. However, Jerry is the one who comes out of the bathroom, and when they startle him, he has a heart attack, which they call a "fart attack."

When Diane later apologizes to Ron for snapping at him, Ron does not reciprocate, causing her to part ways with him. After April and Andy call him out on his actions, he changes his mind, and goes to Diane's house with gifts. He apologizes, explaining that he has spent most of his life alone and is not used to children. They all then go trick-or-treating again, despite it being a week after Halloween.

Feeling guilty about causing Jerry's heart attack, Leslie sets up a charity sale to help pay Jerry's medical bills due to how bad their health insurance policy is. Tom tries to sell some of his designer clothing, but when a woman says she can't buy her son these nice clothes because he would outgrow it too fast, he comes up with an idea for a new business: renting his designer clothes out to preteens and teenagers. Ann sells off the items and clothes she accumulated from her past relationships. Disappointed by the low amount they've raised, Leslie conducts an impromptu auction for a date with Ann, which immediately gets out of hand.

Leslie tells Jerry they've raised little over $1200 from the sale, which he's happy for, but Leslie still feels bad, projecting her own fears about her unstable future onto Jerry. However, he reminds her that you can't plan the future. Meanwhile, Jennifer and Ben have a meeting about him beginning to run a new campaign. She advises him to "think about your future".

The next day, Leslie is viewing the house a final time before cancelling her lease on it. Unexpectedly, Ben arrives and proposes. Leslie accepts, and the two embrace.
