Wednesday, Dec. 22 at 10:30 p.m. – “Volunteers”
The Martins sign up to volunteer while in Tennessee (the Volunteer State), but when Glenn fails the volunteer fireman test and sees Jackie pass on her first run, he joins the Citizen’s Field Brigade and becomes part of a militia on the verge of war. Meanwhile, the kids help at a hospital and Courtney and Wendy are inspired after meeting a Mary Poppins-like patient named Maria Peppins (Fergie).

Thursday, Dec. 23 at 10:30 p.m. – “Glennhog Day”
Glenn has a history of disappointing Jackie on anniversary dates, so when a freak accident makes him wake up thinking every day is their anniversary, Jackie plays along and nudges him towards more elaborate plans.

Friday, Dec. 24 at 10:30 p.m. – “Camp” One-Hour Special
Nervous about being accepted at Glenn’s old summer camp, Conor reinvents himself as a tough guy from Boston. Courtney and Wendy compete for the camp heartthrob (and ghost), Lad in the Lake (Elijah Wood, The Lord of the Rings). Meanwhile, Glenn and Jackie serve as camp counselors after Glenn sends his former counselor, Gonzo (Bradley Whitford, The West Wing) into a deep depression. Later, while trying to build up Conor for the camp’s Color War, Glenn recounts the day he won the 10-mile race, only to learn his triumph was a cruel prank and must rerun the race against his nemesis Jimmy Kimmel.
