Twas the Doyle Before Christmas

A few days before Christmast the members of the Doyle PI gang gather and select their Secret Santa gift recipient.

Mal and Rose rig the name draw so that they get each other but they leave the remaining draws to chance.  Jake ends up with Des. Des ends up with Tinny.  Tinny ends up with Walter.  Walter ends up with Christian.  Christian ends up with Jake.  Leslie and Alison get each other.

Of course not only does everyone fret about what to buy, but Jake can't handle the surprise and decides to deduce everyone's recipient before the gifts are exchanged.

Though Jake isn't able to figure who everyone's Secret Santa is his investigation does cause some tension in the family as the challenges of gift giving are brought to everyone's attention.

Fortunately for Jake, the episode resolves itself with a touching scene in the family living room where the Secret Santas are revealed and it becomes clear that everyone really did know what to get their recipients for Christmas.  They clue up the evening by standing around the living room singing Christmas carols and sending out good vibes.
