After Marcia leaves, Chris warns Leslie that though he does not oppose this kind of art, it's inappropriate for a government office. She wants the painting destroyed and an apology from the department. He is meeting with Marcia Langman, who opposes the painting because of its nudity and "animal porn". The next day, Chris calls Leslie to his office. Tom, however, is appalled – the painting includes a cherub that looks like a fat naked baby that has his face. When Leslie and her friends see the painting that Jerry has entered, Leslie is thrilled – the painting is of a topless female centaur hunting a deer, and Jerry subconsciously made her look like Leslie. Ron makes a short opening speech at the art show. Andy is excited to learn, but April is nowhere near as enthusiastic.

Ben decides to take it upon himself to teach the young couple how to properly live like adults.

Although the two have been living by themselves for only a week, the house is a complete mess with no everyday items like plates or utensils available. When he arrives, Ben is appalled at the condition of their house. Andy and April offer him a spare room in their house since Burly moved out and left the house to them. Meanwhile, now that he is staying in Pawnee permanently, Ben decides to move out of the motel where he has been staying in. Leslie later laments to Ann about her feelings for Ben and Chris' rule against them dating, feeling powerless. Chris says it's not a problem here because she works in a different department. Ben seems reluctant to go out with this woman, and Leslie questions Chris about his rule against co-workers dating. When Leslie tells Ben about the art show at the community center, Chris comes in and tells Ben he has set him up on a date. Enjoy.Leslie: There were many kinds of Greek goddesses. All her selections are fantastic, but April’s present is probably my favorite. You’ll all get to enjoy it Thursday night at 8:30, but to whet your appetites, here’s an early scene – exclusive to HitFix for the evening – from the Christmas gift subplot, as we see just how high a bar Leslie sets in terms of gift-giving. It’s an outstanding half-hour, and representative of everything that’s made me love “Parks and Rec” so much this year.

Without giving too much away, the episode deals with what both Leslie and Ben are up to professionally in the wake of what happened at the end of last week’s episode, while the rest of her friends and co-workers are struggling with a tricky holiday question: what do you get for the woman who, year after year, gets you the most creative, thoughtful, awesome Christmas presents?

They’ve done a bunch of episodes that have been insanely funny (“Ron & Tammys,” “The Treaty”) and many that have been incredibly sweet (“End of the World,” last week’s “The Trial of Leslie Knope”), but Thursday’s “Citizen Knope” comes at you hard with both barrels. It’s Christmas in Pawnee on this week’s “Parks and Recreation,” in what may be my favorite episode of the season so far.
