Plot[]
Andrew's father makes his famous turkey for Thanksgiving at the Birch household, and Andrew resolves to not eat any to stand up for himself. His refusal leads to a near-violent altercation and widespread embarrassment for the Glouberman family, though Andrew later deduces that the turkey was his father's love language, and the two reconcile. Nick remains heartbroken after Jessi's rejection, which is only exacerbated by Leah Birch inviting her new boyfriend, Val Bilzerian, to Thanksgiving. Missy's cousins arrive for Thanksgiving at the Foreman-Greenwald household, and Missy, afraid of being a "dork," smokes one of their joints. Her family deduces that she is high due to her erratic behavior, cutting the festivities short and leaving a rift between her and her cousins. Jay dresses as Santa Claus and robs homes of uneaten food, though he later leaves his haul at Lola's door after noticing that she is alone and hungry on Thanksgiving. Jessi's dad, Greg Glaser, reveals he and his girlfriend are expecting a baby, leaving Jessi distraught that her family will never be reunited. Jessi visits Ali for comfort and the two reconcile, though Jessi has a fantasy of making out with Ali that leaves her questioning her sexuality.
