Even though Grey knows it’s a bad idea, she and Bob spend Diwali trading candy back and forth. Despite everything, he warms up to her. She eats a lot of those cashew fudge things (they’re delicious) and even overcomes her fear of cooking enough to make a (slightly burnt) batch of peppermint bark. It’s an embarrassment compared to Bob’s offerings but she has to try. He’s lonely and sad, this holiday is important to him, and Management is being needlessly harsh forcing him to work through it. There was no kind reason for them to forbid the time off. It’s not as though Diwali runs on a skeleton crew.

Thanksgiving, however, does. Grey’s there by choice (she works all holidays), but Larkin’s only there grudgingly.
