White Gold - S9-E14
Continuity mistake: When Mac and Danny are telling the pizza owner about his nephew's death, in a shot from the side the man's arms are by his side, then it cuts to the front and his hands are on his hips.
Chosen answer: Probably to broaden the scope of the show's plot and give the audience a chance to see the characters in a different setting, People act differently at home from the way they do at their workplace. By the ninth season, the characters would have become overly familiar and predictable. It gives the writers a chance to do something different with them.
