The Caribbean
Jack has arranged for he and Julia to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in their hotel room. As they are eating, Julia starts to say that she thinks they should take some food to Molly and Brad. Jack interrupts her and says that they are not going to share their food. He says that it won't kill Brad to miss one Thanksgiving and besides it might make him think twice next time. He tells her to dig in and she says to wait. She says a prayer and thanks God for all the wonderful people that he has brought into her life. She names Emma, Lily and Holden and this cute guy sitting across the table from her. They start to eat and Jack says that he knows a way that they will be sure to be together next Thanksgiving and she wants to know how. He asks her to move in with him. She looks at him with surprise and she says that she will need to think about it. He says, "really?" She says that she was just kidding, of course she will move in with him.

Kim had invited Eddie and Georgia to come over to Margo and Tom's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Georgia had other plans and didn't want to go, but Eddie talked her into it. Ben and Camille and Mary Ruth were invited also. Camille asks Margo if Tom is going to be there. Margo says that she isn't sure. Camille asks her if she could think about forgiving Tom. Margo says that she isn't ready yet. Camille starts to lecture her about life is too short and Tom walks in. Casey and Adam run to him and give him a big hug. Adam says that he wasn't sure if Tom was going to be with them this year and Tom says that he wouldn't be anywhere else. Adam has a little crush on Georgia. He and Eddie and Katie and Georgia are standing around talking and Adam announces that he is a vegetarian. Eddie asks him since when. There is a short silence and Adam says, rather sheepishly, a while ago. Eddie, with a grin on his face, says oh is that right.

Bob sees Tom looking at Margo. He walks up behind Tom and says to him that he knows that it is ackward for him to be there, but he is glad that he made the effort. Tom asks Bob how he did it, how did he put things back with Kim after Susan? Bob says that it takes time, patience and honesty and above all he kept loving her. Margo yells that the turkey is ready and she needs some help. She is trying to get the turkey out herself and Tom comes to her rescue.

Georgia sees Eddie standing alone and she goes over and asks if he would like to go to the movie after they eat. He thinks that is a great idea, but he has someone else in mind to go with them. It is time to eat and everyone sits down. Adam has set the table and put the name cards in just the right place. He has Margo and Tom sitting beside each other and he has put Georgia beside himself. Bob offers a word of thanks and it goes something like this. "We have been through a lot this year. The burning of the church and the sinking of the Valetta and we have gotten through it all and we are thankful to be together." Margo and Tom look at each other.

Emily's Apartment
Emily is setting her table and wondering where Tom is. She calls his hotel and he is not there. She asks if they have given him his messages and they tell her that they can't tell her that. She hangs up and wonders if he is coming to dinner. There is a knock at the door. She answers the door with a big smile, but it is only a delivery person from the station. She closes the door and starts to wonder again about Tom. There is another knock at the door and she goes to the door only to find Susan. She starts out being snotty to Susan, but suddenly realizes that she could be alone for dinner. So she invites her in and Susan has brought Ellen and Ally with her. They have dinner together and when they are leaving, Emily tells them how thankful she is that they came by. When they are gone, Emily goes to the phone and calls Tom and Margo's. Adam answers the phone and Emily asks to talk to Tom. Adam says that he can't come to the phone, he is busy with HIS family and hangs up on her.

At the end of the show, today, they play a song and start out showing the Snyders'. Then they show Jack and Julia, then on to Emily (she is all alone). Then they show the Hughes', Tom is pointing at Casey's food, Eddie and Katie are talking and laughing and they end it with Margo and Tom talking.

Eddie speaks up and says that she is not crashing and she goes and sit on the other side of Eddie. Katie says that she hopes that the movie is a good as the original. Eddie acts like he knows what she is talking about and is making comments about the movie. Georgia can see that he doesn't know what she is talking about. Adam comes walking in and asks if he can join them. (He has a little crush on Georgia.) They tell him not to be silly, of course he can join them. Adam asks Georgia if he can get her anything, like some raisins or something. She says that raisins would be very nice. When he leaves to go get them, Katie says, "Ahh, isn't that sweet." Georgia asks, "Why because he wants to get me some raisins?" Katie replies, "No, its because you didn't make him feel like a fifth wheel." He comes back and the movie starts. Eddie is looking at Katie and Georgia is looking at them both. Adam decides to try his move and he puts his arm around Georgia. He asks her if she would like some popcorn and she says no. He says to her that the movie is good and she agrees. At the end of the movie, Katie is getting all weepy and Eddie asks her if everything is OK. She says she is just a little teary because of the movie. He offers her his hanky and Georgia rolls her eyes. Eddie suggests that they all go get some coffee. Georgia says that if they drink coffee now they will be up all night. Adam says that it is getting late and he has to get home. Georgia says that makes two of us and they leave. Katie and Eddie go to Java.

Georgia gets home and does not turn on the lights. She goes to the stereo and puts on a sad song. She picks up Eddie's shirt and smells it. She goes over to the couch and sits down and starts to cry. Eddie comes in later and asks her way she is sitting in the dark? She hides her face and wipes her tears. He is going on and on about going to get coffee with Katie. She is brushing her hair and he stops and is just looking at her and she asks him what he is looking at. He says, "It your hair, well, it's great, it's beautiful."

Carly says to her that they need to talk about her taste in friends. Then Carly sees Jack and Julia and Brad says that she is turning a lovely shade of green. Carly wonders what is sees in her and Brad says that she is beautiful, caring, sensitive and Carly adds that she is boring, predictable and the she says, "Did I say boring." Brad says, "Why, Mrs. Dixon, whatever are you thinking?" Carly replies, "Nothing." Brad says, "Jack or fifty million, Jack or fifty million. I suggests that you stay married and live unhappily for the rest of your life.

Molly and the guard are getting the sodas and she picks up a tube of hand cream. She and the guard go back to her seat and he hand cuffs her to the chair and leaves her cuffs a little loose. She is giving him all kinds of compliments trying to butter him up. He gets her all situated and leaves. She takes out the hand cream and starts working on taking the cuffs off. Finally, she is free and she grabs a blanket and covers herself. She is making her way across the room and Brad steps on her blanket, causing her to fall into the chair beside him. He asks her if she is going someplace. She tells him that he can stay there and take the heat, she is getting out of there. She is trying to sneak out the door and Jack grabs her blanket and says, "Are you going somewhere, Molly?"

John spent the whole hour begging Lisa to wait for him. She says to him that he isn't going to war. He says no, but I am married to Carly. They keep arguing and finally Lisa gives him an ultimatum, either he divorces Carly or they are through. John says to her that he loves her. They both stop and look at each other. Lisa doesn't believe him. She thinks that he is just saying that to get her to wait. She says that she wants him to go and as she turns away from him, she gets dizzy.

Carly jumps from around the corner and calls Julia a cheap little slut. Julia says that she was not talking to her. Barbara says that she is disgusting. Carly informs her that John had proposed to Lisa before she even set foot on the island. Carly says "How's that for love." She looks at Julia and informs her that Jack had to save her from Brad earlier. Jack walks up and says that it was just because he was a prisoner, nothing else.
