The episode starts with Lieutenant Dangle and Deputy Wiegel talking in the squad room, discussing what they're going to do for Garcia's anniversary. As they're tossing around ideas, Garcia enters and excitedly tells them that her perfect anniversary gift would be a surprise party, but her husband is terrible at keeping secrets. Worried that he'll ruin the surprise, Garcia says that she'll take care of the party herself, but the rest of the squad insists on planning it for her.

Meanwhile, Deputy Williams has been assigned a new partner, Deputy Kimball, who he quickly realizes is very odd and not much of a cop. We see Deputy Kimball struggle with basic tasks, such as firing her gun and properly arresting suspects. This creates a lot of stress for Deputy Williams, who is concerned about her lack of skills and how they could affect their work.

Back at the office, Lieutenant Dangle and Deputy Jones are tasked with finding decorations and food for Garcia's party. They quickly realize that they don't have any money to pay for these things, so they decide to improvise and use whatever they can find in the station. This leads to some hilarious scenes of the squad members using their uniforms and office supplies as decorations.

As the day of the party approaches, the squad members are excited to surprise Garcia, but things start to go awry. Deputy Williams and Deputy Kimball are dealing with a rowdy drunk, which leads to a dangerous altercation. Back at the station, Garcia's husband arrives and immediately ruins the surprise, telling her about the party before she even gets there.

Despite these setbacks, the squad is determined to make the party a success. They all pitch in and help decorate, cook, and set up. When Garcia arrives, she's touched by their effort and the party turns out to be a huge success. All of the squad members join in on the festivities, dancing and celebrating as a team.
