The episode was seen by an estimated 2.19 million household viewers and gained a 0.9/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who praised the cast's performances but the storylines and Gina's character received more criticism.




Plot


In the cold open, the squad members try to predict how Holt would react to eating a marshmallow. Boyle ends up being the closest by correctly guessing he would giggle in a high-pitched voice.
It's Thanksgiving and it's Amy's (Melissa Fumero) turn in hosting the dinner at her house, for which she invited her father Victor (Jimmy Smits), a retired cop. Intending to impress him, Jake (Andy Samberg) reveals to Terry (Terry Crews) that he orchestrated a binder that has his interests.
Jake picks Victor up from the airport and begins bonding with him. However, Victor finds the binder but states that he likes Jake, to which he reveals he has an unsolved 20-year old case that Jake could solve. They decide to find the culprit of a bank robbery and confront members of a family. However, the members prove they weren't in the bank at the time and they both leave. Victor then tells Jake that he also has a binder with Jake's data and states that he doesn't like him for his attitude, deeming him not right for Amy. They then call Amy on the phone, who reprimands both of them for thinking she needs her father's approval for whoever she dates. Their discussion with Amy ultimately allows them to solve the case by proving the daughter of the family committed it. This gets Victor's respect for Jake.
While they solve the case, the rest of the squad work on the dinner. Due to a lack of turkeys in the market, they're forced to get a real turkey, which Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) will behead. After Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) and Gina (Chelsea Peretti) fight to keep it alive, the turkey turns aggressive and locks them in the bathroom. Boyle manages to calm him with food, although he ends up injured. Meanwhile, Holt (Andre Braugher) gives Adrian (Jason Mantzoukas) a $2000 loan to get a private investigator license. However, Adrian decides to spend it to bet on a televised dog show, infuriating Holt, who threatens to sue him. Despite Holt's worries, Adrian's dog wins, earning him $70,000.

"Mr. Santiago" received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. LaToya Ferguson of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "C+" grade and wrote, "So 'Mr. Santiago' hits that mandatory holiday episode designation hard this week, complete with wild, live turkey and disapproving father shenanigans. Unsurprisingly, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast (and guest stars Jimmy Smits and Jason Mantzoukas) is more than up for the 'challenge' of hitting all of these episode's somewhat tired beats, but even with its brief moments of zagging where the episode would typically zig, 'Mr. Santiago' isn't an especially hilarious or out there episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Allie Pape from Vulture gave the show a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "The idea of a Thanksgiving episode based on actual conflict around the Thanksgiving table has become somewhat passé in recent years. (Sitcom writers would prefer you save that problem for your own life.) Perhaps that's why this is only Brooklyn Nine-Nine's second Thanksgiving episode in four seasons. 'Mr. Santiago' returns to Amy's apartment — the scene of the last Thanksgiving episode — where it quickly finds ways to get the characters out of the traditional dinner confines, sending most of them out of the house altogether."
Alan Sepinwall of HitFix wrote, "Brooklyn tends to be at its best when it allows its characters to be as smart as possible (well, everyone but Scully and Hitchcock), and also when it sidesteps dumb sitcom cliches, so to have Mr. Santiago be two steps ahead of Jake the entire time — and then for Jake in turn to prove smart enough to actually solve the case that Victor never could — proved far more satisfying than if there had just been a big misunderstanding based on the original binder." Andy Crump of Paste gave the episode a 8.2 and wrote, "'Mr. Santiago' glosses over opportunities for sweetness in character development — the accord Victor and Jake reach at the end is one of mutual respect mixed with mutual love for Amy — but it's suitably loopy and never less than hysterical. (Psychotic Amy is the best Amy. Her thirst for blood outmatches even Boyle's.)"
