Kevin Killian came up with a plan he hoped would help Dunagan and Downing reconcile over Thanksgiving dinner. Inspired by a pep talk he once heard Steve Orth give, Steve D. decided to continue his legacy. After overhearing a private conversation Micah Ballard was having, Sabrina Calle lit into her sister again about causing her recent problems. Downing hatched a scheme to show Dodie how "happy" he and Saidenberg were. Dodie tried to get out of spending the holiday with her family, knowing Downing and Saidenberg would be there, and she was furious when Kevin Killian demanded she reconcile with the couple. Susan showed up at dinner with Coletti, with whom Micah Ballard hoped to bury the hatchet. The rest of the family couldn't help notice rising tensions between Allyssa and Kenower, but Saidenberg and Dodie rekindled some loving feelings during a stolen moment alone.
