It's the episode where Jack had spent all week perfecting a mousse pie, and when it was finally done Chrissy ate it, not realizing it was for an important contest.
So the girls have to keep Jack occupied from entering the kitchen while they replace it with a bakery pie. They take the new one out of the BOX it was in and put it in the refrigerator where the first one is in. No container. No plate.
So Jack takes the pie out and carries it away. He's all dressed up in a tie and carrying a pie in his hand. No explanation of whether he takes a car, a bus, walks, or whatever. With a pie in his hand.
But the point is, he's carrying a pie... in his hand. Shouldn't there have been a container of some kind?

It's the 60's, man. Pies were probably just out in the open like that all the time.
It was definitely not the 1960s LOL. The 60s (at least until 1967) resemble the 1950s pretty closely, just with different fashions: colors, patterns, and textures.
Three's Company was the late 1970s. Disco era -- post-sexual revolution. Liberated Baby Boomers in their prime. Then they all got banking jobs and, lo and behold, the 1980s (LOLOLOLOL)
Was the pie in a dish or just literally the pie was touching his hand?
Good question. The first time I watched it, it really looked like it was just the pie. But then I re-watched it more closely and there may have been one of those flimsy disposable pie-pans.
A bigger question is how did he not even recognize the new pie as being different from his own pie he had spent a week perfecting? Mrs Roper never even saw the first pie before running to the bakery to get the new one.

You're giving an awful lot of thought to the logic in a 40-year-old sitcom whose premise was based on wacky misunderstandings and slapstick.
Every so often I wonder if "Three's Company" is a show that couldn't really be rebooted. The entire premise of Jack living with the women was the landlords believing he was gay, because they were worried about the possibility of immoral behavior between Jack and the women.
But nowadays, it's likely the landlords wouldn't care, so long as they didn't break any laws and paid their rent on time. Not to mention that the landlords could possibly get sued if they didn't allow that living arrangement (unless they lived in a city that had laws against more than two unrelated people living in a dwelling together.)

...and T&A, don't forget the T&A.
