The Bleakening

"The Bleakening" is a two-part Christmas episode for the eighth season of the American animated television series Bob's Burgers.

Guest voices are Gary Cole as Sergeant Bosco, Pamela Adlon as Olsen Benner, Adam Driver as Art the artist, Sam Seder as Harold, Jay Johnston as Jimmy Pesto, David Herman as both Marshmallow and Trev, Jack McBrayer as Marbles, John Early as Dalton Crespin, Todrick Hall as Miss Triple X-Mas, Andy Kindler as Mort, and Matt Berninger as a singer.

When Sergeant Bosco tells them that a lot of Christmas decorations have been stolen and he has no lead, Linda and Bob interrogate all the guests but cannot figure out who did it.

After Christmas Eve dinner, the kids sneak out of the apartment to go to the Bleaken's lair, which turns out to be an abandoned warehouse in a sketchy part of town.

Tina, regretting sneaking out and scared by the warehouse's creepy atmosphere, calls their parents, pretending it was an accidental butt-dial, and gives them the kids' location.

The ravers, after a performance by Miss Triple X-Mas, tell her that it is the replacement location for the closed nightclub and they do not have permission for it, which is the reason for the hidden door and staircase.

When the police arrive, Bob borrows a Bleaken costume from the man the kids had thought to be the monster earlier and lures the officers away so that the rave is not shut down.

Linda goes about finding her stoken [sic] tree and ornaments like a standard detective, searching for clues and interviewing suspects, all while keeping clever quips going.
