"Christmas Eve"

It's Christmas Eve. Amy tries to prove that she can let loose, Garrett and Jonah's roommate tension threatens to spill over, and Glenn tries to get Mateo to enjoy Christmas.


  • Bait-and-Switch Comment: When Amy pitches the idea of going over to Bridget's house to confront her, Dina responds, "You are not going over there...we are all going over there together!"
  • Christmas Episode: Brought about by the cast working on Christmas Eve.
  • The Grinch: Downplayed with Mateo, who doesn't outright hate Christmas but finds it overrated and flashy. This deeply upsets Glenn, who loves Christmas and tries to get Mateo more interested in it.
  • Fictional Counterpart: The "Redemption Corps" bellringer is an analogue to the Salvation Army.
  • Mall Santa: Garrett takes on the role of Cloud 9 Santa to appease a kid.
  • Roommate Drama: Garrett and Jonah's subplot is about them squabbling over their bad habits as roommates, which spills into Garrett's job as a Mall Santa and Jonah's job as an elf.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Sandra's boyfriend Jerry awakens from his coma on Christmas.
  • "Walk on the Wild Side" Episode: For Amy, who tries to start a party on Christmas Eve and drinks throughout the episode.
