1	It's Thanksgiving and Napoleon plans on gifting The Art/StatueOfLiberty to the United States.
2	----
3	!Tropes featured in this episode:
4	* AllMenArePerverts: Some of the things that Jack is thankful for include miniskirts and the wonder bra.
5	* AnachronismStew:
6	** Jack claims that he's thankful for "miniskirts, the [=WonderBra=], Penicillin... oh! And those little donut-holes you can get 12 for a buck."
7	** Jack and Emilia manage to distract the French by playing a game of UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball with them.
8	** Napoleon does The Worm when the French team gets a winning streak.
9	* ArtisticLicenseArt: The Statue of Liberty is constructed out of copper, which rusts green. It ''should'' be copper-brown in this episode.
10	* BadBoss: Napoleon [[DisneyVillainDeath throws the Statue's designer to his death]] because construction is falling behind schedule.
11	* BatmanGambit: Jack's plan for the football team is to injure enough of Napoleon's team so that he has to use those guarding the statue as substitutes. Emilia compliments this idea, noting how Napoleon is a CompetitionFreak.
12	* BigNo: Napoleon right before the bomb destroys the statue.
13	* BlatantLies: Napoleon is too AxCrazy to give him his conquering ways, so when he insists that the Statue is being done as a gesture of good-will and that all he wants is world peace, no one buys it for a second.
14	* FailedASpotCheck: Jack was too busy ogling his French maid to notice the ''ten-story statue'' being built just outside his window.
15	* FoodComa: After Thanksgiving dinner, it renders everyone in a food coma. When Emilia asks why he didn't tell her that the food was drugged, he admits that he didn't and that this happens every Thanksgiving.
16	* FriendshipMoment: In the last scene, Jack admits it's sort of too bad the statue was destroyed, as he liked the idea of Emilia's face looking down over the world.
17	* HiddenDepths:
18	** Napoleon has a gift for sculpture.
19	** Jack cooks a full-course Thanksgiving dinner that leaves everyone stuffed and satisfied.
20	* ImplausibleDeniability: When called out for inexplicably missing a ten-story statue, Jack insists it wasn't there the day before.
21	* LastSecondWordSwap: When giving thanks, Napoleon speaks of the world in a maniacal tone and sounds ready to declare himself ruler over all. When Croque cautions him on how he sounds, Napoleon sheepishly talks about peace instead.
22	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When everyone admits to what they're thankful for, they all look directly at the camera as they do it, the framing not unlike a public service announcement.
23	* MonumentalDamage: The Daring Dragoon planted a bomb to destroy the Statue of Liberty before it ever reaches America.
24	* NotQuiteDead: After the bomb takes out the statue, Jack is unaccounted for. Emilia is quite relieved when he stumbles back home.
25	-->'''Emilia:''' I thought you were dead.\
26	'''Jack:''' ''[smirking weakly]'' No such luck.
27	* OhCrap: Jack gives Napoleon the honor of carving the turkey. Croque is subsequently and increasingly distressed over his brother approaching him with a knife.
28	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Jack learns the hard way that Napoleon is quite attempt at the tackling part of football. He also gets in quite a few haymakers, during the fight on the statue.
29	* ShoutOut: The episode ends with a re-creation of the TwistEnding of ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968''.
30	* SkewedPriorities: When Jack finds out that Croque is making Thanksgiving with a roast chicken instead of a turkey, he offers to fix everyone Thanksgiving instead. While Emilia thinks that this was him giving the two of them an opening to find out what Napoleon is up to, Jack admits that he wasn't thinking of that and all he wanted to do was show the French how Thanksgiving is ''actually'' done.
31	* SophisticatedAsHell: Napoleon intends on naming the statue "The Statue of 'Ooh, What A Rack!'"
32	* TakeThat: Emilia doesn't approve of Cranberry sauce.
33	* ThanksgivingEpisode: Because Napoleon has another scheme in the works, Jack and Emilia take part in Croque's planned dinner. Emilia sees it as an opportunity to look for intel, though Jack also wants to ensure the French get Thanksgiving dinner right. We even get a montage of what the featured characters are thankful for. After finding Napoleon's plans, they need a diversion to foil his scheme, so Jack makes use of another holiday tradition: a game of American football.
34	* TrojanHorse: The Statue of Liberty was constructed so that Napoleon could store an army's worth of French soldiers inside it.
35	* VillainousBreakdown: Napoleon throws a tantrum in response to the statue being destroyed.
