In honor of Valentines Day, this week’s installment of Parks and Rec season 5 features a black tie gala. But it wouldn’t be Pawnee without a hitch in Leslie’s meticulously made plans.

In this week’s episode of Parks and Rec season 5, Ben and Leslie plan and throw a black tie gala to raise money for their park. (If you check out the pictures below, Amy Poehler, who plays Leslie, dons a gorgeously beaded pink dress for the occasion. Normally we don’t point out Parks’ fashion, but this is a dress worth mentioning.)

There is wrench in their well-laid plan, however, when Pawnee calls an emergency response drill. What faux-emergency it is in response to … the world may never know. All we do know is that apparently this drill requires Chris to wear some sort of skull and cross bones across his chest. If only other emergency responders would don such appropriate apparel.

All the while, Andy prepares for his police academy exam. Is he prepared? Will Burt Macklin simply become Andy … Macklin? While all the hubbub is about, Ron fills in for Leslie on Pawnee day. We can only imagine how Ron will do. Last time when he tried to plan Employee Appreciation Day, he ended up dragging a barbecue home with him behind his truck. Who knows how he will respond to a government-sanctioned Pawnee Day, since we know how much Ron loves government-sanctioned events (not to mention the government in general).

So curl up this Valentine’s Day with a box of chocolates (for you), a stack of waffles (in honor of Leslie), and a Batman cape (in honor of Ben), and watch this week’s installment of Parks and Rec season 5. If you can’t wait until tonight, check out the images below. What are your thoughts on this week’s preview pictures?
