At the Quartermaine mansion, Lois finds Olivia relaxing on the couch and asks if they aren’t doing Thanksgiving. Olivia tells her Thanksgiving is a disaster in this house, and she can’t deal with it this year. Lois insists they are doing Thanksgiving, and it will be full of surprises. She also says “they’ve” taken care of everything, gets a text, and says the surprise has arrived.
They head to the foyer and Yuri brings Gloria in. Olivia runs to give her a huge hug.
Ned and Leo spend time with Ferdinand the alpaca in the stables. They talk about Ned being Eddie, and Ned assures him the whole time he was still him deep down inside. Cody arrives and asks how Ferdinand is doing. Leo says he wants to be posing for fancy pictures with him and his girlfriend Sasha again.
Ned heads to the mansion and hears a commotion in the living room. He’s surprised to see Gloria, and Olivia admits this is shaping up to be a very memorable Thanksgiving.
At Chase’s place, BLQ can’t find her purse and tells Chase that her mother is bombarding her with texts to be early, so she has to be planning something. She knows she has a lot to be thankful for a lot this year, especially with Tracy in Europe and things being so peaceful at home. Chase says, “Home? Are you moving out?” She asks if he wants her to move out. He doesn’t, and she doesn’t want to move out either. Chase feels this place wouldn’t be the same without her, and they are glad they got this out in the open. Chase is amazed how quickly they solved this misunderstanding, which wouldn’t have happened so easily six months ago.
Brook Lynn doesn’t want them ever to keep secrets again and is so relieved that everything is back to normal, including her dad. She stammers, but he tells her not to edit herself. She hates that she has good news finally about her dad and they get bad news about his. Chase plans to make the most of what time he has left with his dad.
hase and Brook Lynn arrive at the mansion to learn Thanksgiving is on. Brook Lynn thought they weren’t making a big deal of Thanksgiving this year so what gives. Gloria calls out, “Is that my Brooky!” Brook Lynn is thrilled to see her grandma. Gloria says she and Lois are about to begin the cooking, but Brook Lynn warns dinner here always ends in disaster.
Sasha arrives, and Leo shouts out, “Cody, it’s your girlfriend!” Leo then runs to his mom to tell her about Ferdinand, while Cody tells Sasha he’s sorry about what Leo said. He offers to make himself scarce if it would make things easier for her. She says they agreed to work together and will enjoy the holiday.
Lois and Gloria return to the living room and say dinner is on track. Ned hasn’t smelled a Thanksgiving like this since the nineties. Gloria sees Cody and Sasha and wonders who the stunning couple is.
Yuri helps prepare the food in the kitchen and talks to Terry on the phone. She’s at a conference, as is Monica, and he jokes this family is crazy.
Back in the living room, Gloria tells Sasha she’s a big fan of hers from Home & Heart, and that she has a knight in shining armor in Cody after learning how he helped save her from that awful Haven and her tricks. Leo asks if Sasha will be moving into the stables with Cody like Brook Lynn lives with Chase. Chase tells Leo that their relationship is still new, unlike his and his siste. As everyone talks and jokes, Cody sees Sasha sneak out.
Gloria heads into the kitchen to check on the food and sees a call on her cellphone that troubles her. Lois also checks on the food and her mom, and says everything is going perfectly.
Cody finds Sasha has snuck off to the stables to see Ferdinand. He knows the Qs can be a lot. Sasha notes this time last year she had Brando and Liam, and now they’re like a faded photograph. Cody tells her how strong she is, but Sasha feels like a traitor and like she’s moving on and leaving them behind. Sasha knows Brando would want her to go on with her life, she just doesn’t know how. Cody says moving on doesn’t mean forgetting, and she’ll figure out the next steps for her when it’s time.
Lois checks on her mom in the kitchen and is still surprised she canceled her plans with her sisters to come here. Gloria says she took advantage of her daughter coming to see Brook Lynn, and tells Lois to go rally the troops while she finishes the cooking. Gloria again looks at her phone and ignores it.
Gloria goes to the living room and announces they’ll serve dinner in a few minutes. Ned can’t believe for once everything might go smoothly. Lois wishes she could see Edward’s face now that they’ve broken the curse. Olivia and Brook Lynn gasp, and Ned notes Lois may have just jinxed things and summoned his grandfather’s ghost. The smoke alarm sounds and Leo says, “Here we go again!”
Sam shows up at Alexis’ place where Kristina already is. Sam explains Dante and Danny are at a football game and will join them later. She thought it would be a nice distraction for Danny from the situation with Charlotte.
TJ and Molly arrive, along with Jordan. Molly says while this is a sad time for them, she is thankful for what she has, including all of them. They all share a toast.
Kristina steals a moment away and calls someone to wish them a happy Thanksgiving and extends an invite if they could come and don’t have other places to be.
Everyone makes small talk, and Sam notices Molly is diving into work talk with Jordan about her plans as Deputy Mayor. Kristina tells her sister that work is Molly’s defense mechanism, and they’ll talk to her when it’s time.
There is a knock at the door, and Kristina answers it. Blaze stands there with flowers. Kristina thanks her for bringing flowers for the holiday, but Blaze says they are for Kristina for saving her. Her family is in Puerto Rico, and she’s stuck here for work. Her dinner was going to be takeout.
Alexis and Sam can’t help but notice the chemistry between Kristina and Blaze. Kristina excuses herself to check on dinner, and Alexis asks TJ if he’s chosen a medical specialty yet. TJ is leaning towards neurology.
Sam finds Molly hanging out outside and checks on her sister. TJ joins them, so Sam heads in to give them some time alone. Sam lets Kristina know TJ and Molly are taking a moment and tells her how proud she is of her. They embrace.
Later, Alexis makes a speech about family and friends, and how they need to cherish every single moment they have together. She toasts to the Davis family: past, present and future.
Laura and Valentin bring Charlotte home, and she goes straight to her room. Laura tells Valentin they need to take action and break this hold Victor has over Charlotte, which means having a difficult conversation.
Charlotte returns and asks, “What does Grandma mean by a difficult conversation?” Laura tells Charlotte that she told her in the hospital that believes Anna shot her on purpose. Charlotte cries she did, she was just returning her keychain and Anna shot her. Valentin cuts her off and says that’s not true, it was an accident, but he knows what she’s done.
Valentin knows about the spray paint found in her backpack and says Victor lied to her about Anna and used her. Charlotte cries she’s not wrong about Anna. He tells her that she set a devastating fire at Anna’s and could have hurt someone. She cries that she didn’t do that, and she can’t believe he’d believe that of her. Valentin assures her that Victor has lied to her about Anna, but Charlotte doesn’t believe so and she believes Anna shot her on purpose. Laura explains they know more about Victor than she does, and Valentin says he saw Victor’s letter and he’s manipulating her. Charlotte can’t believe he went through her personal things. She says she only wanted to protect him, and that Grandpa believed in her and she hoped he would too.
Charlotte heads off to the patio, and Laura advises Valentin to give Charlotte time. She says he and Charlotte were apart for a while, and since she can’t be angry at him, she is directing her anger at Anna. She promises they’ll undo what Victor did to her. Laura has to pick up Esme and Ace and make an appearance at a parade but will see him soon. He thanks her for her help.
Robert pounds on Anna’s Metro Court door to wake her up. She answers the door and says she is having a pity party for Thanksgiving this year so leave her alone. Robert has something to pull her out of her funk. Anna says high tea isn’t going to cheer her up. He asks what has her in a mood. She tells him she can’t stop thinking about Charlotte, Forsythe is dead, and all the evidence she has against him is gone. Robert tells her that she looks pathetic, so go and get dressed and do her hair. Anna says she will, and then when she gets back she’ll kick him out.
The phone rings, and Robert answers and says they are in the room. Anna returns dressed, and there is a knock at the door. Robert tells her to get it, and she snaps at him not to tell her what to do. Anna answers the door and is stunned to see Emma. They embrace, and Anna asks about her parents and Noah. Emma explains Noah is sick, so mom and dad are with him.
They all sit down, and Emma says she heard about Charlotte and she feels so bad for her grandma. She asks if they’ll see Charlotte and Valentin today?
After tea, Emma excuses herself, and Robert asks Anna about Valentin. She says they are done. Emma returns, and Anna asks about her internship in particle physics at Berkley. Later they video chat with Noah, Patrick and Robin.
