Jerry explains he is not fussed about not achieving his goals he is more pleased with the fact that his time working at the Parks Department allowed him to always get home to his family in the evening. Leslie is not satisfied, so the next morning she visits Jerry at his home where his entire family welcomes her with open arms.


The department then sends him off with a cake, but in true Jerry fashion, his blazer catches on fire, which requires extinguishing. Another absurd goal was to have a building named after him (which couldn't be done given Jerry's work record), but as a compromise, Leslie decides to name the Parks Department's conference room after Jerry. Next is to meet Mayor Knudson, which also can't be done as Knudson died in 1985. The first goal she attempts to achieve is eat in the city council dining room, which can't be done. She feels obliged to help Jerry as she doesn't want him to leave this job with nothing and go home to an empty life. Jerry has worked in the Parks Department for 40 years without doing anything noteworthy, so Leslie goes about helping Jerry tick off his goals that he set when he filled out his original entry paperwork. However, upon discovering that Jerry Gergich is retiring, she gets back to work in an attempt to send her colleague off on the right note. Ben Wyatt feels it is time she take a day off to relax and spend with him. Over her first year as a city councilwoman, Leslie Knope has worked nearly non-stop. It originally aired on Apto 3.34 million viewers.
