" Halloween Surprise" is the fifth episode of the fifth season of the American comedy television series Parks and Recreation, and the 73rd overall episode of the series. Parks & Recreation made up for all the abuse Jerry went through by giving him a perfect family and a job he was actually good at, and for which Pawnee will always remember him.5th episode of the 5th season of Parks and Recreation " Halloween Surprise" Though Jerry never excelled at his job in the Parks Department and the National Park Service Midwest Region, he seems to have found his calling when he became mayor – and he surely did a good job, as he was re-elected multiple times. However, Jerry couldn’t catch a break even when dead, and his last name was misspelled on his tombstone. Jerry won Pawnee’s citizens over and lived a happy life after that (not that he wasn’t prior to becoming mayor), and died peacefully on his 100th birthday. What Jerry nor anyone else was expecting was for him to become mayor and be elected for several terms, as revealed in a series of flashforwards in Parks & Recreation’s series finale. Following the death of Mayor Gunderson (Bill Murray) in season 7, Jerry was appointed Interim Mayor as he fitted the criteria for it. Later on in the series, Jerry began working at the National Park Service Midwest Region, and after that, there were some really big changes in his life.Īt some point in the series, Jerry became a notary public and was able to help Ben when he needed one. Prior to that, Jerry was a park ranger, and it’s up to every viewer’s imagination what kind of embarrassing incidents he got himself into while on that job. At the beginning of the series, Jerry was the office manager of the Parks Department, and it was a running gag how his desk got smaller and smaller with time, especially as more people arrived at the Parks Department. Like the rest of the main characters in Parks & Recreation, Jerry didn’t have one job through the whole series, and he actually ended up in a very important role within Pawnee’s government.

Jerry became an important part of Parks & Recreation, but what exactly did he do at the Parks Department? Jerry was clumsy and got involved in all types of embarrassing situations, but he had such a kind heart that he was never rude to his coworkers nor did he stop caring about them. Among those was Jerry Gergich (Jim O’Heir), who was constantly bullied by his coworkers, even though he didn’t see it that way. Leslie worked with some very colorful individuals, such as the extremely deadpan Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) and wannabe-entrepreneur Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari). Parks & Recreation follows the daily lives of eternal optimist Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and her friends and coworkers from the Parks Department in Pawnee, Indiana.
