## Plot

On their way to the Crystal Agency's outpost, Melvin suggested Abraham and the player to stop at Featherstone Bakery to buy some pies for the Thanksgiving dinner. However, they found the unbaked pie stuffed with cooked meats in which turned out to be a meat of human that has been slaughtered. The parts of victim's body were actually belonging to Eugene Knight, a maintenance worker.

The five people were labelled as suspects: Owen Sprague (owner of bakery), Ailbhe Gillespie (festival attendant), Heath Magorian (hotel owner), Nile Donovan (costume owner), and Kinsley Kinsella (cook).

While searching for evidence, Abraham and the player discovers the threat message say, "Leave Isaac alone!" But, Skull Mania locked the door and set in fire, which the player managed to escape with a message safe and sound. Melvin remembers about his traumatic past of being abused as a child.

Mid-investigation, Eugene's turkey escaped from the farm, forcing the team to stop it. It was also revealed that Melvin's drug-abused parents locked him in the dark room and is almost leaves him starving to death when a younger Owen rescuing him. Furthermore, Hilda became obese after eating too much cranberry pie and sweet potato, and she need to follow a harsh diet to restore her fitness. Later, Nile revealed that Eugene was a CIA agent is going undercover to obtain the Crystal Skull. After the events, the team found enough evidence to arrest the cook Kinsley Kinsella for the murder.

After denying involvement, Kinsley admitted to the crime. She said that Skull Mania blackmailed her to commit the worst crime to terrorize people in Black Friday. He improved her with butcher knife and tells her to cook a human meat pie to scares the people's heart out, as she believes that Eugene was going to obtain the Crystal Skull. She then slaughtering Eugene to pieces, cutting the parts of his body and cook it to bake a pie to fool the team. For heinous murder of Eugene and for being a cannibalism, Judge Pereira sentenced her to confinement in a psychiatric institution.

During The Black Friday (3/6), Melvin and the player talked to Kinsley about her reasons behind Eugene's murder. Kinsley said she was ordered by Skull Mania to neutralize him before he could sell Crystal Skull to a Black Friday's third party before pointing them to his house to look for clues. In Eugene's farm, they found a check to the order of Featherstone Inc., a company that Eugene had founded in a tax haven to receive payments from Worldwide Phil Inc., per Nadia's analysis. Knowing that Eugene had been working for Deathstalker, the team asked Owen Sprague, his partner in the CIA, who did not know about Eugene's betrayal and sent them to the Featherstone Bakery as Eugene used to spend time there.

In the bakery, the team found a phone with a folder called "The Black Friday", which (per Nadia) contained a suspected goods for the black market. As the Skull Mania corresponded with the stolen goods, the team deduced that Deathstalker was planning to sell a suspicious goods in all markets coinciding with Black Friday.

After the team got Ailbhe Gillespie's famous tofurkey recipe for their healthy Thanksgiving dinner, Nadia discovered that Worldwide Phil Inc. had received 3 billion dollars from the former assassin (the one who paid Raymond to attempt assassinate Chief MacLeod). She also tracked some of stolen goods to Horvitz, prompting the Liberty Agency to the country in which the Black Friday's discounts has started.
