GH Classic Thanksgiving Dvd #3 1994-1999 11/24/94 Audrey and Steve are having dinner at the PC Grill with Simone and Tom, Jr. They haven't heard from Tom, who is out saving the world while ignoring his family. Steve wants to get out quick so he can watch the PCU game, and he's antsy till the end when he gets to go watch in the kitchen. Audrey is concerned about Simone's social life, but Simone is fine, she says. At the Brownstone, Tony and Bobbie and Robin and Stone are getting ready. Bobbie is thankful that they're together and having therapy, Tony is glad they are giving Lucas a nice day. Felicia and Maxie and Lucas come in, bearing sweet potatoes. Maxie, who has Soap Aging Syndrome, has helped with the marshmallows, as has Lucas (who doesn't), who ate some first. Lucas says "this is a good day!" Maxie is thankful for the new baby and her new heart. Robin and Stone are creating their own magic in the kitchen. Mac comes, discovers them, and is annoyed, the more so when Robin announces they kiss all the time in the Outback. Part of his anger is doubtless jealousy, as Stone seems to be having a better time than Mac is. Kevin comes in and announces he normally doesn't socialize with patients, but after all he was their friend before he was their counselor. He asks Mac what Thanksgiving is all about. Mac remembers a day he was very thankful that had nothing to do with food, when he was a guide to this gorgeous blonde scientist in the [Australian] Outback. It made you glad to be alive. Kevin remembers a like day in his own life when he discovered a letter by Freud stuck in a missal in a forgotten corner of a library. Mac gets a truly puzzled look on his face. But, he says, tell me, "how can one be truly thankful when there's something fundamentally wrong with the Universe?" There are no women in their lives. He knows about worm crawl. Mac goes to get Robin and Stone for dinner and loses his temper. Robin finds out Mac had known about the skunk, and she is amazed at how duplicitous he is. The two have a loud, screaming, public fight. The show opened with Lucy talking to a sunflower, saying how disappointed she is in Thanksgiving. The doorbell rings, and she's hoping it's Kevin so she can tell him off. However, it's a deliveryman with her Long Island reerange duck. He won't take it back, and to her horror, it's alive. But, well, "it eats worms, doesn't it?" What to do with the duck? She goes to the PC Grill to have it dispatched. Carl is no help, and will not take the duck tom the chef to be killed, as they are busy and don't have time. Lucy threatens with her ELQ stock, but gets no satisfaction. The Quartermaines are all settled down to watch the game, including yelling at Monica when she gets in the view, till Lila announces "no TV." Edward explains "It's not TV, it's football!" Lila wants a civilized conversation. Edward: "What could we possibly have to be civilized about?" Lila suggests they count their blessings, and Edward dons his sarcastic personna. He is "thankful" to be in court defending himself against a murder charge, and this is instilling humility and he is much better without all that nasty corrupting money that he's dropping on legal fees, and as an extra bonus, he got out early on Wednesday by keeling over! Lila says nonsense, he has his family, good health, and ELQ. Monica adds that at least Edward isn't facing a death sentence as she may be. Alan simply pats M's hand and says he is grateful for how well she's holding up. Monica then goes on to count her blessings. Losing a breast took 8 pounds off and despite the possibilities, the chemo took another 10 pounds, and she's always wanted to be a size 0. AJ gets right into the spirit of the thing by being "thankful" he hasn't had a drink in months because he wouldn't want to be in an alcoholic haze and miss all the dulcet tones of this family fun. Alan comments about self pity, and Edward says, "If we aren't entitled to self-pity, who is?" Jason sees an opportunity to mention the folks in Charles Street and Edward resents being the bad guy just because he's a rich white Protestant male. Ned says "some problems are more transient than others" and A.J. says "Lois ain't never gonna forgive you, Ned." Monica says, "What? And miss her opportunity to bond with this unique family?" Lila, in distress, says, "I wish I'd never brought it up!" Jason mutters to Alan, "we're an Oprah show run amok" and A.J. says over his seltzer "surely there's one family that's this dysfunctional." Reginald leaves this family fun to answer the door, a big mistake. It's Ms. Coe with the duck. She insists on seeing Edward right this minute. Reginald says there's family in there and Lucy reminds him that "I used to be a Mrs. Quartermaine." Reginald agrees "I wasn't here, but I've heard the stories." They juggle the duck and Lucy's coat "May I take your duck?" Lila, meanwhile, has said "You're all behaving quite petulantly!" Monica remarks that "If you were looking for a nice upbeat family, you picked the wrong crowd." Lila: "Surely there must be something we can all be thankful for!" At this point, Reginald announces Lucy, and they all remember what they are all thankful for! "What's this urgent matter?" huffs Edward. Lucy says "Duck!" and the family hits the deck. Ned comments the duck looks underdone. Lucy dumps the bird in Edward's lap explaining how traumatized she was by Carl's refusal to instantly take it for slaughter. There's a Q game of pass the duck: to Ned, to Reginald. Reginald, horrified, "You want me to do in the duck? I've got to draw the line at canardicide." Lila says "Reginald, I thought you drew the line at worms." Lila goes on, despite Edward's frantic hand signals, to invite Lucy for a drink. Lucy, filled with the joy of the season, decides to share it with the family. Starting with Edward, poor dear, and the trial. On to Monica and her poor health, and when she finds out Alan won't be going to New Mexico, she reminds him that he is a caring husband. A.J. makes the only unselfish remark of the day, probably in an effort to protect his mother from any more of Lucy's solicitude, and says "We're thankful to be rid of Damian and Katherine" and Lucy offers to drink to that with him. She tells Jason how nice it was to see him at Pier 52 with Keesha, and how brave he is going up against the family like that, and isn't it a little awkward as she's with the Ward family. Tempers are rising, and Lucy decides maybe she'd better get along with the duck. A.J. tells her not to quack up, and Jason explains he's always been a wise-quacker. Lucy fumbles her way out the door, the camera pans across the family's stunned faces, and Monica remarks, "Nothing like a quiet family holiday, is there?"
Meanwhile, back at the Qs', A.J. needles Ned that it's too bad Lois isn't here. Ned tells his grandfather that as soon as he's sure about Edward's health, he'll be going to PR. Edward forbids it, there's corporate business to be done. He builds up steam remembering all the corporate time that has been wasted by Ned chasing after Lois. Reginald announces dinner, Annabelle sneaks out, Edward huffs "DAMN dinner too!" Monica comes over and yells at Edward, who says she's pushing his good nature. She says "Tough noogie! Chill out, Edward!" Lila gets materfamilial and orders them to "Plant yourselves and listen to me!" Annabelle, who appears to be eating for 6 or 7 gazes at the feast. Hypnotized, she gets closer and closer, and extends her nose, then her tongue. Lila delivers a Mary Mae speech but it's bearable coming from her. "We are the most fortunate people on the face of the earth," she starts, and tells them to take a moment to remember how much they depend on each other, and how much, despite some pardonable lapses, they love each other. After a slow scan of the shamed faces, she says "let's go to dinner." Annabelle takes the leg and vanishes, just as the family reaches the door and looks upon disaster! Ned picks up the picked clean carcass and says "Pizza, anyone?" Reginald informs them that cook is planning to fall on her carving knife. Bet they wish they'd kept the duck! Lila insists they should sing the Psalm and Annabelle is sharing the spoils with Foster.
Edward: And well it might! If ever a man was surrounded by such a pack of incompetents... Lila: Edward! SHUT UP! Edward: I will NOT be told to shut up
in MY HOUSE! Katherine and Mac are too busy smooching to cook, so they order Peking Duck. She's a little disappointed that her plans to cook him a traditional meal have fallen through, but he assures her Chinese food is traditional to him. Tony notices the turkey has shrunk. Turns out they are having roast duck instead, as Bobbie burning the turkey last year turned out so badly, and she thought she'd try something new. Tony says he's become an expert at rolling with the punches and Bobbie is grateful. But there is one thing. He has invited Lucy and Sigmund. Meanwhile, Lucy has lost Sigmund. He's not in the bath and a window is open. Where can he be? Back at Katherine's apartment, the lovers have unliplocked long enough to order the food and answer the door. There's frantic knocking at the door. It's Lucy! "Mac, Mac, my very dear friend!" She tells him about Sigmund, and Katherine snears: "all this high drama for a duck, Lucy?" "I wouldn't expect YOU to understand!" Lucy responds. Mac really doesn't want to leave Katherine, but he questions Lucy: "You two hadn't quarreled? No fights, no disagreements? You haven't struck him recently, have you?" at which Lucy strikes Mac, yelling "NO! I would never do that!" (Meanwhile, she is absentmindedly eating their food.) Mac suggests that Siggy is just out exploring and that Lucy should go home and wait for him. Lucy: "Are you insane? I can't do that, I have to find him, I have to DO something!" Mac tells her nothing can be done until 24 hours have passed. Lucy pleads with him... "I came to you of all people because I thought you would help....You care about him, you know him, he's supposed to be your friend." She turns to Katherine: "SHE has done this to you, hasn't she?" Katherine has stolen his conscience. Then Lucy discovers it's DUCK they're eating. "How COULD you?" Katherine points out "it's not YOUR duck, Lucy!" but Lucy doesn't believe her till Mac reminds her that Peking duck takes days to prepare. When she's gone, Katherine enjoys picking up more food and preparing to enjoy it. They return to smooching and eating. Meanwhile, back at the
Quartermaine's, the harmony is limping on, with a little help from the gin.
Edward: Ah, thank you, Reginald. A little sauce of the juniper will make me a benign patriarch.
Back at the Brownstone, there are Felicia and Maxie working on hors-d'oeurves when Tom comes bouncing in. He plans to go play with the kids and Felicia in the back, and Tommy comes bouncing down, off to Thanksgiving dinner with MaryMae and family. Tom can't let this go, so he makes sure Tommy will be back at the Hardy's to help Steve cheer on PCU. Simone looks a tad upset, and Justus like a thundercloud, but they agree, and Felicia eavesdrops on Tom telling his mother to tell Simone she's expected. She, Felicia, points out to Tom how he's using Tommy, and Tom tries the "poor little abused me" routine till Felicia calls him on it, telling him he's passing it on to Tommy. Tom asks for Felicia to help him if he does this again, and in bursts Lucy! "My very best friend in the world, I need your help!" Tom, the dear sweet man, suggests "ducknapping", which panics Lucy. At this point, Bobbie comes in looking for her recipe to find out when to turn the ducks. "MURDERESS!!!!" screams Lucy, and Tom rather foolishly keeps her from clawing Bobbie's eyes out. Bobbie snottily explains that they bought their ducks from the butcher yesterday. "So you're going to eat them today. Without a qualm. How? Could you? " and turning to Felicia "How could YOU?" and Lucy stalks out. Katherine and Mac are still in their clinch and the doorbell rings. It's Kevin, who looks surprised to see Katherine in her own apartment. Oh. They convince him to sit, which he does, and starts to eat, absentmindedly. He's not exactly in a holiday mood. Mac tells him about Sigmund, Katherine asks how the relationship with Lucy is going, they discuss Lucy for a while, while Kevin polishes off a good deal of the meal. Kevin heads out to look for Sigmund, and Mac says to call him if he needs him. Kevin says "You're a good man, Mac", as Katherine and Mac return to their clinch. Back at the mansion, Jason and Keesha come in, with Edward huffing: "Well, you're late." Keesha says hi to Lila and gives a headpiece to Emily, which matches her dress perfectly. AJ thanks Keesha for covering up for him, and all he's drinking is orange juice. Jason, jealous, comes up, taking a sip of AJ's drink. The two brothers start shoving and telling each other to back off, and Lois poings out they are doing harmonious this year. "WHAT?" says Jason in total disbelief. Lois explains "Well, you know, it's just a concept, but you know, it's like all of us trying to get along together, huh?"
You can hear Edward muttering something about
"totally ridiculous" as Reginal escorts Lucy in.
Bobbie Tony and Tom discuss Dr. Dorman, and Luke and Lucky arrive bearing pecan pies. Lucky tells of his adventure. At Mary Mae's, Simone calls Audrey, who says yes indeed they are expecting Tommy. And there's Lucy! She's come to ask for Councilman Ward's help, and yes, he calls the police to report a missing duck. Lucy leaves, but is delighted to hear that Mary Mae is having turkey. She is a wonderful warm human being. Lucy goes to Kevin's. Thank goodness Razz has already transcribed this, but it starts with Lucy "Don't YELL at me!" and Kevin, "I'M NOT YELLING!!" They worry, discuss feelings about the duck, and hear quacking. At the park, at the pond, Sigmund has found a ladylove, Billie. Lucy agrees to let him stay overnight with his inamorata, but then he must come home and be a good duck. Katherine and Mac are still smooching on the couch when Robin comes by to see Mac and tell him she loves him. She absentmindedly eats some food. "Nothing Sonny cooked last night can compare to this." When she's gone to the Penthouse, Katherine notices that everyone came to see Mac, but she liked it, even Lucy, because they all depended on him to be there for them 11/ 28/96 Brenda bounces into the Jacks' living room, handing Jax a drink. "I am SO excited about the start of our first holiday season as a married couple!" They kiss. She asks if Australians celebrate Thanksgiving. Jax says his family never did till they mobed to Alaska, and then "we didn't eat dainty little birds. Lady Jane usually bagged a moose..."Brenda doesn't want to hear about that.. she gets up close and personal as she tells him she's going to show him what Thanksgiving is about. He laughs, "How? You're going to point to a picture?" She says he shouldn't make fun of her culinary expertise. "You know I love you madly, Brenda, but you don't have any." She admits that while that may be true, she's a whiz at room service. There's a knock at the door. It's Miranda, accompanied by violin music. As the girls turn t and chorus "HI!" Jax is stunned as he listens to their personal and way too friendly conversation. Sonny appears with a platter of mooseburgers. Brenda and Miranda complain. Miranda: "Sonny, he won't pick one of us!" Sonny responds: "And you're surprised? The guy's a wimp!" He's brought duelling pistols. They start to count off and Brenda hugs and kisses Sonny, muttering "Come here, baby, I'm going to get rid of him once and for all." At "ten!" both Miranda and Brenda have their pistols leveled at Jax, who looks particularly young as he shouts "WAIT! I can explain!" He wakes up. He's on an airplane. Later, awake, he remembers Miranda and Brenda. Kevin is watching football, sharing popcorn with Sigmund. "Yo, LUCE! I think I'm starting to get this now!" She comes in with some veggies and is amazed he's watching football. He belches. "Oh, boy. I'm startingto get this craving for salami. We have any?" No, but she has this lovely hors-d'ouevre tray. Kevin yells at the TV: "Are you BLIND? Stupid and blind? Oh my..." Lucy sits next to him asking for romantic music.. he's not listening, because he's standing up and cheering. The doorbell rings. It's Felicia, accompanied by the same violin music. Kevin: "Come on IN! Make yourself comfortable!" Lucy is surprised, but Felicia says, "Where ELSE would I be on Thanksgiving except with my bestest friends in the Whole Wide World?" Kevin is waving someone in: "Come on IN! Make yourself comfortable!" It's Tom. "You're looking extremely obsessive compulsive today, Lucy!" Lucy, confused, thanks him, and Kevin waves in someone: "Come on IN! Make yourself comfortable!" It's Mac. "Hi, Lucy, what's for dinner?" She starts to explain they weren't expecting everyone and Kevin yells: "Come on IN! Make yourself comfortable!" to Katherine, who to the accompaniment of spooky organ music says, "Mac! You walked away right in the middle of my sickness!" "Ewww!" from Lucy. "Kevin, please get away from the door NOW!" Behind her, Felicia is drawing stick figures at the easel. Kevin closes the door: "Say, can I get anyone a refreshing beverage, perhaps a delicious snack?" Lucy tries to say there are no snacks. Kevin looks at Felicia's drawings: "I'd call it minimalist." Katherine, stuffing her face, admires Lucy's outfit. Lucy looks down, and she's naked! Felicia goes off to get her something to wear, and Lucy snatches a tablecloth to wrap herself in. Kevin excuses himself to go -- check on Felicia. Lucy doesn't think that's a good idea but Mac stops her to hold her for questioning in the abduction of Sigmund Coe Collins. She says that's actually Collins Coe, and the duck came of his own free will... but Sigmund isn't there. Katherine is stuffing herself with duck. She belches. Mac pulls off his shoe, which is actually a phone. "10-4, Roger Wilco, Over and Under, Yeah, this is Police Commissioner Scorpio and I want an APB out on a missing duck. (to Lucy) Haven't we done this before?" Felicia runs out of the bedroom and jumps on Lucy: "He's coming, he's coming, he's after me!" Tom saunters up behind, holds up a piece of celery, and asks: "care for a stalk?" Kevin: "Felicia! Answer the phone!" It rings, and she answers it, no one is there. Kevin laughs, Felicia runs, Kevin chases her, Katherine asks for plum sauce, Mac is still on the shoe, describing the duck with arm and hand gestures, and Tom is munching his celery. Tom: "If you didn't insist on separating Kevin from Ryan, Ryan wouldn't be out right now." Felicia and Kevin run around Lucy. Lucy asks "are you Ryan?" He answers no. Oh, good, then he's Kevin. No. He's Devin. Tom does a Sherlock Holmes impression: "Fascinating." Kevin, uh, Devin, says: "That guy and his secrets! I can't believe he didn't tell you about the rest of us -- there could be ten, maybe twelve." He counts on his fingers... Kevin, Devin, Evan, Ryan, Tryin, Cryin, Dyin, Lyin, and Bruce! Lucy is horrified and covers her ears. Devin excuses himself: "Gotta run." Felicia is sharing duck with Katherine and does not like being called by Devin. "Oh, ALL right!" She starts to run, he chases her. Katherine tells Tom he must try the duck, so he does. Mac is still on the shoe. Tom says "Fat little sucker, isn't he?" and Lucy screams. She's actually asleep on the couch and Kevin is sketching her. Lucy jerks awake. Kevin says "hi." Lucy wants to see what he's drawing. She doesn't believe she looks that peaceful to him considering the dream whe was having. He comments that she smells a little bit like apples, and she immediately panics over the stuffing. He pulls her back and checks. It's her. They kiss. There's a tapping at the door. Lucy worries, DID Kevin invite anyone? It's Sigmund who apparently forgot his key. Later a delivery boy comes with a tray of salami and a sixpack of beer. Lucy is watching a football game with running commentary on the cheerleaders' outfits and the cute butts of the players, while Kevin tries to sort out WHY there's a tray of salami and a sixpack of beer. Lucy explains that she was worried that he was going to want these "manly man" kind of things. He denies he's that different and they hug and kiss, but Lucy sneaks another peek at the game. Katherine is enthusiastic about how the meal is coming along. Mac asks if Miranda is in the kitchen. Katherine says she left. Mac is disappointed but "Oh, well, there's always a bright side. This way I get to devote all my attention to the GAME!" He clicks on the TV and asks Katherine to get him some popcorn. When she brings it, she tries to climb in his lap, but Mac is so engrossed in the game he doesn't notice, jumps up to cheer and dumps her onto the floor. She's hurt her elbow. Miranda, in football shirt, comes in with beers and sits next to Mac. They push Katherine's head down so they can see better. She goes off to get the doorbell. Suddenly she's dressed like June Cleaver, hair and all. Pink shirtwaist, pearls, the works. "I'll get the door, don't anybody move now." Miranda is in Mac's lap and they are enjoying the game. At the door, it's Brian kissing a scantily-clad Lucy. Katherine protests: "You are the Face of Deception! She is the competition!" "I know, I can't help it." Lucy sings: "He wants to marry me!" Katherine protests that she can't marry Brian, she's going to marry Kevin. Miranda comments that she could marry them both. Lucy invites Katherine to be her matron of honor. Suddenly Katherine is in a cop uniform. "Matron of honor?" Brian, meanwhile, is gazing at himself in a hand mirror. "Sullen, that's my bread and butter, don't-cha think?" They all chorus at Katherine: "What's for dinner?" Katherine thinks she started to cook something, and Lucy tells her that the cook's daughter has to sing for her supper. Katherine protests that she doesn't sing, and Lucy counters: "I know that, but you simply must." They all chorus: "SING!" Katherine is in Shirley Temple outfit and curls. She sings and dances to Moonlight Bay while Brian, Lucy, Mac and Miranda look on. (Interesting the differences in Lucy's and Katherine's nightmares. Lucy's is a lot more detailed, and has to do more with her fears for Kevin, while Katherine's is blunter, and about still being the Cook's Daughter. Both, however, feature the other as a villainess.) Mac comes in and kisses Katherine away. "Have I ever told you just how innocent you look when you're sleeping?" She tells him about her dream, though "Lucy was there which I reckon upgrades it to a nightmare!" Mac comments: "You know, I'll bet you two were married in another life!" "Ugh! Don't even say that word! There's far too much of that going around if you ask me!" They talk about Robin, who is at least with Jason. Miranda has made herself scarce, so they start to cuddle on the couch, which I would have thought was a mistake, since Miranda could turn up any time. Ruby attempts to kick Sonny out of Kelly's which is closed for their annual feed-the-poor time. He's brought a message from Robin who is dishing up food at a homeless shelter. He's also brought a check, and he tells Ruby to go get some rest, he and his henchmen will continue to serve the meals today. Edward is relaxing and Alan, Monica and Emily come in with some wood for the fireplace. It's nice and nippy and and crisp and wonderful. They stick the wood in the fireplace. Alan says: "I can't wait for it to start snowing. I just want to go sledding so badly!" They stand in front of the fireplace hugging and Edward says, snidely, "Let me guess. The Waltons! Very good. You keep this up all through dinner and you will make Lila very happy." Emily hopes they won't have pizza again. "Mercy, no!" Ma Walton, uh, Monica says. "Bite your tongue!" adds Alan. "It's going to be a traditional, old-fashioned Thanksgiving." "Not so fast!" interrrupts Reginald. "Sonny Corinthos." The violins play. Sonny says, "Tell me something, Reginald. What is it I do that makes you so nervous all the time?" "Uh, I don't know, breathe maybe?" "Nonsense," beams Alan, who has obviously been hitting the pain pills too hard, "Sonny's a PAL. An Invited Guest come to spend the holiday with us." Monica chirps up (also on the happy pills, apparently) "And we COULDn't be more pleased!" Sonny tells Reginald: "I've always been a believer in live and let live. I never saw any reason why we all just can't be friends." He puts his hand out for Reginald to kiss. Edward is huffing about Sonny and that jax character stealing his business and Sonny tells him not to take it personally, he'll have himself another heart attack. Emily goes to Sonny and hugs him. "How are you?" "So much better now!" she responds. Justus bops on in. "Hey! (to Sonny) My Main MAN!" He has all the deep dark nasty secrets on Edward. Sonny is delighted to know that Edward whacked Damian Smith! "I did no such thing!" Sonny shows the file to the family. "Grandpa!" "Edward!" "Father!" Ned comes in wearing an Eastern monk's robe. "Oh, Ned!" exclaims Edward. "Thank God you're here! This whole room has gone mad! Although I shouldn't be surprised and I -- uh -- what the devil are you wearing, Ned?" (Mysterious Asian music plays) "Ah. Grandfather. That is precisely the point. The devil is no more. All is peace. Harmony. Oneness in the universe. Now that I've discovered my spiritual path." "Isn't that Wonderful?" beams Alan. "GOOD for Ned!" enthuses Monica. They applaud. Brenda and Jax come in, wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Jax and Sonny shake hands. "Yo, Sonny BOY!" "Yeah, what's the word?" "Thunderbird." "What's the price?" "Eddie twice." Edward is blustery and baffled. "ELQ has been taken over by cretins and imbeciles! Now, Ned, you have to do something!" "I intend to," Ned replies calmly. "Sonny, Jax, come to me, please. I propose we donate all existing ELQ assets to various Bensonhurst charities and start all over." They think this is a great idea. Brenda remarks: "Jax and I should rummage through all these old knickknacks and pick out some wedding gifts for ourselves, don't you think?" Ned agrees. Brenda smiles at Jax: "Come allong, my little blueberry muffin!" Jax: "Whatever you say, sweetums." Alan says: "Perhaps now, Father, there'll be room for me in a kinder, gentler ELQ." Edward isn't going down without a fight: "That'll be a cold day in Hell." Ned says, "The CEO position is wide open. You and Justus can fight it out to your heart's content." Justus says "Oh, no, please, please, Alan you take it, I insist. I'm gonna work with Sonny on his end of things." Edward blusters "No no no, now this is unthinkable for you to betray me like this!" Justus says: "EDWARD! I'm struggling with my identity! Today, I'm the Rebel in the family!" Reginald comes bouncing in: "They're here!" The family all assumes their positions. It's President and Mrs. A.J. Quartermaine. Keesha is in pillbox hat and Chanel suit, very Kennedy-esque. "Ruffles and Flourishes" plays. "My Fellow Americans: One thing that you can be certain of isthat A.J. Quartermaine likes his sweet potatoes with plenty of marshmallows." Edward shouts: "This is a NIGHTMARE!" and they chorus:"SHUT UP, EDWARD!" Lila wheels in. "Good news, everyone, good news! I just spoke to Tracy. She's coming home, and she's bringing Dylan with her!" Edward covers his eyes. Lila dimples at A.J: "Nice to see you, Mr. President." Jason drives his motorcycle into the room. Lila hopes he'll stay for dinner. "Oh, grandmother, I can't. I've only got enough time to rip off a few candlesticks and meet up with my buds at the tattoo parlor." At this, Emily lights up. "Oh, Alan, can I go, PLEEEEASE. I've been dying to get 'Quartermaines rule' tattooed on my thigh!" Alan beams: "Of course you can, my precious girl!" Edward asks: "Have you all gone stark staring mad?" He tells Emily that she's not setting one foot out of the house with that hoodlem. Emily sweet-talks him: "Ah, Edward, I would rethink that position. You see, Justus and Sonny have taught me to use surveillance equipment and I've taped all your private conversations. If I don't get my way, I'll turn them all over to Dara Jensen." Monica says, "I'm so proud of you, Emily!" Alan agrees: "A True Quartermaine at last!" Keesha informs them that the CIA has checked into Edward's background. It turns out he has another illegitimate son. That's enough for Lila: "That's IT! Dominican Republic, here I come!" Sonny grins at Edward: "Hey-ya Pops, how's it going?" "Oh, goodie," says Prince Charming. "I've always wanted another brother! jimmie Lee Holt never made it for me! Sonny! My bro!" They hug. Monica was having so much fun
she forgot to give Edward his medical results. It's Good News! He
needs surgery right away! "What for?" "It doesn't
matter." Alan's hand is all fixed and he's ready. Alan puts his
claw up: "Gee, Monica, ya think?" He hopes he remembers how to
do surgery. "It's like falling off a bike," Jason comments.
Alan has a bright idea: "You (to Jason) used to be premed, would you like to assist?
What do you think?" "I don't know. Sonny? What do I
think?" Sonny thinks it'd be great, and Justus agrees that "having a
henchman with surgical skills could prove invaluable."
"Cool," Jason enthuses. They gather around Edward. He mumbles and
mutters. He's asleep in the chair with Reginald and Lila watching him.
Reginald asks: "You think we should wake him?" Lila thinks
"might as well let him sleep while he can." Edward wakes up with Lila
watching. Ned comes in: "Happy Thanksgiving." The family comes
in. Ned asks Emily if she's happy about her parents' reconciliation.
She changes the subject. Justus and Keesha come in, and AJ starts to talk
business till Keesha stops him. Reginald announces that Cook has resigned.
SOMEONE sullied her kitchen by making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"I was HUNGRY, OK?" A.J. sputters. The turkey is still
half-frozen. Alan says, "Well, I think we know what that
means!" Ned says "Make mine pepperoni!" They start to
sing while Reginald tries to place the order. Reginald finally says
"You do this every year!" Luke lets Mac and Felicia and Maxie and Georgie in, shouting over his shoulder to Bobbie: "Your annoying neighbors are here." Foster is here. The bell rings. It's Tony and Carly. "Hello doc Bro ex-in-law" says Luke. "Carly." Carly hands Luke the flowers she's carrying but drops them just before he gets them. There's an awkward pause. (Lucas dashes in for his present and dashes out again.) Bobbie suggests they stay for dinner? Tony and Carly try to back out, with Luke saying in the background "they have reservations" which is a double meaning for sure. Luke certainly has reservations! Bobbie says they need to establish a precedent. They will be having holidays together, the children will play together, they need to practice. Tony and Carly give in. The bell rings, and it's Amy and Ruby. Luke tries to talk Bobbie out of having Tony and Carly. At dinner, Luke makes a toast. It's just all so family and nice that Carly can't stand it and leaves the table. Bobbie follows her. Carly tells her she's really good at the holiday stuff. They have a bonding moment. Annabelle comes in, but Luke
tells her Foster is "so over you, babe!" She has a soggy note from
Edward, but all Luke can decipher is "Quartermaines thieves!"
"Well, Annabelle, tell us something we don't already know." That
favorite humorous couple, Mac and Felicia, are being quirky and perky again,
over the dishwasher, which has bath toys in it. The bell rings. Reginald comes in with three "Pilgrims with pizza". Raoul barks. The family discusses the masks, then the Pilgrims pull guns. Edward argues, as the family empties their pockets. The haul is disgustingly small, only $64 and change. "Don't you people carry wallets?" "In my own home?" blusters Edward. Monica says it ruins the line of his pants. A.J. asks for his wallet back, and Justus gets his driver's license back, and Monica goes for her contacts, and Keesha is surprised she wears them. Ned rescues his cell phone, and Edward goes to retrieve his gold pens, "they're not really of much value." Lila has apparently been at the martinis again, because she erupts: "I **BEG** your pardon! That's solid gold!" They all discuss this. Alexis says while she's not really familiar with the protocol, she suggests they take the armed robbery seriously. Robber #1 says "We can't go back with $64!" Alan agrees that the Quartermaines would be laughingstocks if that got out. Lila tells a robber that his mother should have taught him better than to manhandle an old lady in a wheelchair. The bad guys dither. Lila says it's all most upsetting. A.J. assures her that "they don't want to hurt anyone. DO you?" Lila says "No, these gentlemen don't seem to have any idea what they're supposed to do!" She points out the silver. She tells them to pack up the silver and leave. Then Alan suggests they take an ugly vase. The Quartermaines try to get rid of other stuff. Meanwhile, Edward writes a note
for Annabelle to take to Foster. Jason shows Emily the cooked turkey he
plans to use for sandwiches. She says that's proof he's not a
Quartermaine, "no Quartermaine has ever come that close to a fully cooked
turkey on Thanksgiving." She leaves. The phone rings.
Jason remembers Robin saying how sorry she feels for the Quartermaines and how
he's supposed to take care of Jason Quartermaine's family. Ned hands over a
mantel clock. Alan looks at a kaleidoscope, but Monica reminds him that
Emily's fond of it, so the robbers can't have it. Emily comes in.
She's really surprised that they're getting robbed by Pilgrims. They'll be
in big trouble when her brother Jason hears about this. She mentions
Sonny's name. The Quartermaines are interested to hear that Jason lives in
the penthouse now, but the robbers are more concerned about the dreaded name
"Jason Morgan." Jason comes in with Pete and the turkey. The
robbers rush out, leaving everything and knocking the turkey to the ground.
They leave a note from Tracy, who has planned this robbery. Raoul comes in with
pizza all over his face. They order Chinese takeout and sing their song. Luke was at the club drinking when the phone rang. It was LuLu calling to with him a Happy Thanksgiving. He continued drinking, noticed the light blinking on his answering machine and listened to the fake message from Felicia…then listened to it again. He remembered his adventures with Felicia, interlaced with scenes of them swing dancing. He ended by thinking of their kiss in Mexico. Later, Laura arrived at the club with LuLu to tell Luke Happy Thanksgiving in person. Luke was not there, so they left a note for him. We then saw Luke on the docks, looking out toward Wyndemere, then putting on a pair of dark John Lennon glasses. Laura called Mrs. Lansbury to tell her she'd be late. She remembered the bad times with Luke, from the time he found out about her affair with Stefan (at the trial) until the present. She remembered the good times with Stefan and smiled. Hannah told Sonny how happy she was that they had invited Mike. Sonny reminded her that Mike had invited himself. Mike showed up and he and Sonny argued about everything from rotisserie turkey cooking vs oven turkey cooking to apple vs sausage dressing to yamsvs garlic potatoes. While they argued in the kitchen, Hannah remembered her happy times with Sonny since they met to the present, as well as her meetings with the FBI. Emily and Juan knocked at the door, interrupting her thoughts. (Sonny was the friend named Michael) Juan brought a loaf of bread to Sonny and wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving. Sonny thanked him. Hannah invited them to dinner, but they told her they had to get to the Quartermaines. After the left, Mike gave his usual eulogy glorifying Hannah. Jax showed Ned how much cash he'd been able to come up with by liquefying his European assets. Ned boasted that he could make that in a day. Chloe and Alexis arrived and the four discussed the pros and cons of traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Jax preferred Moose and Ned was hooked on pizza by being a Quartermaine. Chloe told them "Tough," she had already ordered a dinner and all they had to do was go pick it up. Everyone but Jax left to get it and Jax remembered his times with Chloe from the day they met to the present. The song, "Head Over Heels" played. Later, the four had dinner together and Jax offered up a touching toast. Carly played with Michael in his room and told him that
they had a lot to be thankful for, but the money and the stuff wasn't the most
important thing. The most important thing was that they had someone who
loved them and they'd be going to stay with him soon. She remembered her life
with Jason from the day they met until the present. GH Classic Thanksgiving Dvd
#4 2000 - 2010
Their fears were realized when cook came home early, kicked the chef out and
refused to cook. Everyone was relieved when A.J. came over with several pizzas
and they sang their traditional holiday song. A jealous Skye accuses Jax of hoping to seduce Carly in order to torture Sonny, and Jax suspects Carly of using him to manipulate Sonny. As a result, Jax backs away from Carly's business proposal, but stubborn Carly presses on, and Jax ends up taking her to an undisclosed location. Sonny shares a Thanksgiving dinner with Mike, and Mike begins to confess past sins until Sonny overrides him with his own admissions. Luke makes it to Bobbie's home for the holiday, but Bobbie and Scott get detained for speeding. Laura asks Luke to fill in as host opposite her and Luke finally agrees. Later everyone is happy as they sit down to Thanksgiving dinner. Serena approches Laura and asks her if "its" true. Laura asks her what "it" is and Serena says that Lu Lu told her. After Laura tells her that its ok to say whatever she has to say Lu Lu announces that Laura is going to marry Scott (which Laura has not decided yet) and Lukes happy face goes to a shocked one.
Lucky speaks to Elizabeth over the phone, and he clearly remainsunsettled.
Nikolas also appears troubled after Stefan speaks badly of Stavros, and Nikolas
slips away, leaving Gia with the Cassadines, to visit Helena in prison. At the
same time, Alan hopes for a real Thanksgiving dinner (which does not
consist of pizza) at the Quartermaine mansion. He sends the cook away and
hires a chef to make a real holiday feast. The Quartermaines almost have a
normal Thanksgiving dinner until a food fight occurs between Monica and Skye
which ruins dinner, (especially the turkey which goes flying onto the mantel).
The Quatermaines are stuck with pizza once again. 11/25/09 Diane arrived at the Davis residence with gourmet yams . As Diane handed the covered dish to Alexis she gave her instructions on how to heat the treat. Alexis admitted that she hadn't realized that Diane would be joining them. Molly entered just in time to announce that Alexis and Molly had made plans for Thanksgiving. Alexis scolded Molly for being rude, and then explained to Diane that they had intended to go to the country club for dinner. Before Diane could respond, the phone rang. Alexis left the room to answer the phone. Molly took the opportunity to hand Diane a dollar bill; she wanted to put Diane on retainer. Diane explained that her fees were considerably higher than one dollar. However, she was curious why Molly wanted her services. Molly warned Diane to not breathe a word of what she was about to reveal. Diane's interest was piqued, so she promised to keep quiet. Molly explained that she and her sisters had decided to play matchmaker for their mother. Molly claimed that Alexis had horrible taste in men, so it might be her last opportunity to find love. Diane smiled as she assured Molly that her secret was safe. Diane's only regret was that she wouldn't be able to see Alexis' reaction when she realized that she had been set up. Molly apologized; she didn't think it would be appropriate to invite an extra guest to someone else's house. Diane completely understood. Alexis returned to the living room with news that she had added another guest to their reservations at the country club. Diane appreciated the offer, but explained that she needed to see a client. Alexis pointed out that it was a holiday, but Diane refused to be swayed. After Diane left, Molly told Alexis that they had plans to go somewhere other than the country club. At Pozzulo's Restaurant, the eatery in Sonny's warehouse, Spinelli left a message for Maxie while Milo was wrapping up a phone call with Sonny. After they ended their calls, Spinelli wondered why Milo looked downhearted. Milo explained that Sonny was fed up with Max continually sulking and Diane hiding out in Philadelphia. Sonny had ordered Milo to remedy the situation pronto. Max entered Pozzulo's moments later; it was clear he was in a dour mood. Max explained that Sonny had sent him to Pozzulo's. According to Max, Sonny had told him that Milo would "fix him up" and that Max was to make certain that the job was done properly. It was obvious that Max assumed the assignment was work-related. A short time later, Diane arrived at Pozzulo's demanding to know why Spinelli had asked to see her. Spinelli and Milo explained that it was about Max. According to Milo, Max had been having difficulty performing. Diane immediately jumped to the conclusion that Milo had meant that Max was suffering from some sort of sexual dysfunction. Milo didn't correct Diane. Diane was horrified at the idea that Max had been suffering in silence. She insisted that Max had been more to her than just a sex object. Spinelli decided that it was a good time for him to leave. As Spinelli departed, Max walked out of Sonny's office wearing rubber gloves and carrying a plunger. Max's gripes about plumbing problems died on his lips when his eyes connected with Diane's. Diane didn't waste time talking; she rose from the table and then marched to the office. She turned briefly to order Max to follow her. Max handed the plunger to Milo and then followed Diane into the office. After Diane and Max recovered from a satisfying romp in the office, Max learned how Milo had lured Diane to Pozzulo's. He was furious that Diane had believed Milo's lies. Diane wasn't; she had missed Max. Max admitted that he had missed Diane, too. Later, Diane, Max, and Milo toasted each other with a glass of wine as they sat together at one of the tables. On the pier, Kristina bumped into Ethan while she was on her way to Robin's house with pumpkin cookies. Ethan was happy to see that Kristina's stitches had been removed. Kristina was curious where Ethan was headed. He explained that he intended to go to Kelly's for a turkey sandwich. They chatted for a few minutes about Australia's version of Thanksgiving before Kristina invited Ethan to join her family for dinner. Ethan appreciated the offer; however, she had inspired him to spend the holiday with his family. At the Drake residence, Sam arrived just as Patrick was carrying folding chairs into the living room. While Robin set the table, Sam confessed that she didn't think that their plan would work. Robin insisted that it was obvious to everyone that there had been chemistry between Mac and Alexis; they just needed a nudge. Patrick groaned when he overheard Robin and Sam plotting. He warned Robin that men were simple creatures. As if to prove his point, Mac entered the house carrying a six-pack of beer and asking if the game was on. When Mac saw Sam, he asked Robin if Jason would be joining them. Robin assured her uncle that Jason would not be at their Thanksgiving table. However, Robin cheered Mac up by confiding that she had invited someone that he liked. Mac assumed that Robin meant Coleman. The doorbell rang moments later. Robin was surprised to see Matt enter with Lisa. Matt explained that he had invited Lisa to dinner because she didn't have anyone to spend the holiday with. Robin pasted on a smile and then welcomed her husband's ex-girlfriend. As everyone sat at the table, watching the game on television, Lisa confessed to Patrick that she was impressed with the kind of father that he had turned out to be. Meanwhile, Sam received a phone call from Molly. Sam whispered to Molly that she thought the plan was a bad idea; she explained that Kristina had not even arrived and Maxie had canceled because she was sick. Sam was forced to end the call when Mac approached her. Mac wanted to question Sam about her statement regarding the night that Claudia had disappeared. Robin immediately scolded Mac, reminding him that it was a holiday. Mac apologized, but then announced that he had to go to the station. Robin refused to allow her uncle to leave. Luckily for Robin, Alexis and Molly's arrival blocked Mac's exit. When Mac made another attempt to leave, Molly insisted that she had to ask Mac questions for a project. Alexis reminded Molly that she had already completed her report on the legal system, but Molly argued that she had a few loose ends to tie up. Alexis sensed that Molly was up to something, so she quickly cornered Sam to demand some answers. Mac also realized that something was going on, so he pulled Patrick aside to question him. Patrick refused to incriminate himself. Mac and Alexis realized that their families were attempting to fix them up. When Alexis and Mac stepped outside to talk, Kristina arrived. As Kristina entered the house, everyone was explaining Alexis' horrible history with men to Lisa. Kristina revealed that her father was a mobster. Molly confessed that her father was a mob lawyer. Sam confided that she didn't even know who her father was. When Jerry's name was mentioned, Lisa was forced to agree that Alexis needed help finding love. Later, as everyone gathered at the table for dinner, Alexis found herself seated next to Mac. Everyone joined hands and then gave thanks. At the apartment, Lulu offered to get Maxie a latte before Lulu headed to Elizabeth's house for Thanksgiving. When Maxie wandered into the living room, Lulu realized that Maxie was down in the dumps. Lulu assumed that Maxie was depressed because Franco had not agreed to do the photo shoot. Maxie surprised Lulu by revealing that she had slept with Franco. Lulu took a minute to absorb that shocking confession. She couldn't believe that Maxie had betrayed Spinelli. Maxie insisted that she hadn't cheated on Spinelli. According to Maxie, she and Spinelli had a list of people whom they could sleep with. Lulu was curious who was on Spinelli's list. Maxie reluctantly answered, "Anne Hathaway." Although, Maxie was fairly certain he had put her on the list only because Maxie had found the movie, The Princess Diaries, among his belongings. Lulu pointed out that Anne Hathaway was a celebrity and that it was unlikely that Spinelli would ever meet her. Maxie argued that Franco was also famous. Lulu urged her friend to be truthful with Spinelli, even though it would most likely hurt him. After Lulu left, Maxie sat on the sofa crying; her thoughts were centered on her night with Franco. When someone knocked at the door, Maxie found Spinelli standing on her doorstep. He announced that he had picked up a few things that he hoped would make Maxie feel better. Spinelli poured soup into two bowls and then handed one to Maxie. Maxie managed only a few bites before she set her bowl of soup on the coffee table. At the Jacks residence, Michael, Morgan, and Carly prepared to go to Kelly's to join Sonny and Mike for Thanksgiving. Jax intended to stay home with Josslyn. Carly's plans hit a snag when her car failed to start. Jax offered to take a look at the car, so Carly went to check on Josslyn. As soon as Carly and Jax were out of sight, Michael noticed that Morgan had slipped something into his pocket. Michael realized that Morgan had sabotaged Carly's car. Morgan didn't deny the accusation. He was determined to be a good big brother to Josslyn by making certain that her parents spent Thanksgiving together. When Jax returned to inform everyone that he hadn't been able to fix the car, Morgan smiled. Morgan's satisfaction was short-lived, because Carly asked to borrow Jax's car. Jax agreed to Carly's request, so Michael asked to talk to Carly and Jax about a school trip while Morgan raced outside to tamper with Jax's car. Morgan's efforts paid off when Carly informed Jax that his car hadn't started, either. Carly decided that two brand new cars failing to start was an omen for them to stay home. Michael and Morgan volunteered to scavenge for food in the kitchen. A short time later, the boys emerged with tons of junk food. As everyone laughed and enjoyed the impromptu meal, Jax leaned down to kiss Carly. At the Quartermaine mansion, Rebecca announced that she had decided to join some people from the hospital to help feed the homeless at a shelter. Tracy wondered why Rebecca wasn't spending the holiday with Nikolas. Rebecca explained that Nikolas was busy. Luke strolled into the parlor moments later to announce that Bobbie had flown to Seattle to spend time with Lucas. Rebecca was curious how Lucky and Elizabeth were spending the day. Luke revealed that Lucky and Elizabeth were with Audrey, Lesley, and the children. Luke wasn't interested in spending the day with a kind and loving family, so he had decided to hang out with the Quartermaines. Ethan arrived a short time later, followed by his sister, Lulu. When the pizza arrived, Rebecca asked how the tradition of the Quartermaines eating pizza on Thanksgiving had started. Monica explained that family squabbles had led to many ruined Thanksgiving dinners, so they had been forced to order pizza. As everyone helped themselves to pizza, Edward began singing, "We Gather Together." 11/24/10 At Kelly's, Lucky bumped into Siobhan as she was about to leave the diner. Lucky briefly told her about the Thanksgiving Day holiday and then invited her to New York City for dinner at an Italian restaurant. Siobhan was curious why Lucky wasn't spending the day with his children. Lucky explained that Elizabeth's grandmother, Audrey, had decided to host Thanksgiving dinner. According to Lucky, Audrey had invited Nikolas and Spencer, so that they could spend the holiday with Aiden and Elizabeth as a family. Siobhan wondered why Lucky didn't celebrate the holiday with the rest of his family. Lucky explained that his father and siblings were having dinner with the Quartermaines. Lucky confided that both families were extremely dysfunctional, so their gatherings tended to reflect that. Siobhan confessed that it sounded intriguing, so she advised Lucky to get over himself and then announced, "Let's go." At the loft, Michael knocked on the door and then asked if it were safe for him to enter. Lulu smiled as she assured Michael that it was okay to open the door. She reminded Michael that he lived there, so he could walk in whenever he liked. Dante was surprised to see his younger brother. Michael explained that Jax had taken the family to Manhattan for the Thanksgiving Day parade, but Michael couldn't go because of the terms of his parole. Lulu and Dante were delighted that Michael could spend Thanksgiving with them. However, Dante and Lulu had different ideas about how to celebrate the holiday. Dante wanted to spend the day watching football games on the television, but Lulu intended to have dinner with her family at the Quartermaine mansion. Dante and Michael didn't seem thrilled at the prospect of spending the day with the Quartermaines, so they declined to go with her. After Lulu left, Dante couldn't enjoy the football games. Michael urged Dante to go to the Quartermaines' to be with Lulu, but Dante insisted that Michael join him. Michael explained that he hadn't been invited, but Dante didn't think that Michael needed an invitation. Michael finally agreed to go when it became clear that he wouldn't be able watch the football game without Dante constantly checking for text messages from Lulu. Sam went to the hospital to enlist Robin's help. Sam explained that Kristina and Molly were determined to have Alexis and Mac spend Thanksgiving together. Sam revealed that her sisters were frustrated because Alexis and Mac had only gone out on a few dates, so their relationship hadn't progressed far enough for Mac and Alexis to have made plans to spend the holiday together. Robin was eager to lend a hand, so she enlisted Maxie's help when Maxie entered the room a few minutes later. After Sam left, Maxie admitted that it might be difficult to get Mac to go to Alexis' house. Maxie revealed that Mac intended to have Thanksgiving dinner with Robin and Maxie at the hospital in an effort to keep Patrick out of Robin's room. At the nurses' station, Matt wondered what Patrick planned to do for Thanksgiving. Patrick revealed that he had planned to pick up Emma and then take her to see Robin, so that they could spend the holiday together as a family. Matt saw Mac step off of the elevator. Mac's eyes narrowed when he noticed Patrick. Mac made it clear that Matt was welcome to join Mac's family for dinner, but Patrick was not. Afterwards, Mac went to Robin's hospital room. Mac greeted Maxie and Robin and then started to unpack a basket of food. Maxie and Robin immediately tried to persuade Mac to return to his hotel room, change into something blue, which was Alexis' favorite color, and then go to Alexis' lake house for dinner. Mac refused to leave Robin alone on Thanksgiving. He also pointed out that he hadn't been invited. Maxie assured him that they had received an offer to join Alexis and her family for dinner, but Mac remained reluctant to change his plans. Mac admitted that he didn't think that Alexis was interested in him. Maxie and Robin disagreed; however they explained that Alexis needed a man who wasn't easily pushed away. They urged Mac to let Alexis know how he felt about her. Mac refused to be swayed, so Maxie gave up and then left. Robin challenged Mac to be the man that Alexis needed. Eventually, Robin wore Mac down. Shortly after Mac left, Matt stopped by the check on Robin. Robin was surprised when Matt revealed that Maxie had invited Matt to join her for dinner at Alexis' house. Robin was curious why he hadn't gone, but Matt admitted that he didn't like feeling as if he had to always pursue Maxie. Robin explained that Maxie didn't have a lot of faith in lasting relationships, so she was in a vulnerable state. Robin insisted that he needed to be a little more patient and forgiving with Maxie. Matt chuckled; he had been about to offer Robin the same advice about Patrick. Matt wished Robin a happy Thanksgiving and then left. Later, Matt sought out Patrick to let Patrick know that Robin was alone with her thoughts in her hospital room. Matt advised Patrick to fetch Emma and then go to Robin's room. Later, Patrick entered Robin's hospital room with Emma on his hip. Robin was thrilled to see her daughter and to spend time together as a family. At the Davis residence, Alexis worried that she might burn the turkey. Kristina promised to learn how to cook by the next Thanksgiving, so that she could be in charge of the turkey. Alexis smiled and then noticed that there were eight place settings at the table. Alexis wondered whom Kristina had invited, because Molly was in Los Angeles with Ric, so Alexis had planned on Sam attending dinner. Kristina revealed that she had invited Diane and Max to join them. "That's five," Alexis pointed out. Alexis wanted to know who the other three guests were, but Sam arrived before Kristina could answer the question. Diane and Max followed a short time later. Kristina quietly told Diane about the plans to set up Alexis and Mac for the holiday. Afterwards, Spinelli arrived. Kristina assured Spinelli that Maxie had been invited, so she would be sure to seat Spinelli next to Maxie. Later, Alexis confided to Diane that she knew what Sam and Kristina were up to in regards to Mac. Diane advised Alexis to go for it, but Alexis claimed that there weren't any sparks between her and Mac. Diane reminded Alexis that sparks with Sonny, Ric, and Jerry Jacks had led to Alexis' life being left in ruins. Diane suggested that it was time for Alexis to let go of her "penchant for arrested adolescence" by dating a "real man" like Mac. Alexis kept silent as Diane sauntered over to Max. Diane reminded Max that it was an anniversary, of sorts, for them. She recalled that a year before, Spinelli and Milo had scared her by implying that Max's accident had left Max permanently injured. Max smiled at the reminder. Moments later, Maxie walked through the door. Maxie was frustrated because Mac had stubbornly refused to join her. Spinelli carried in a load of wood seconds later and then stopped short when he spotted Maxie. Maxie and Spinelli smiled shyly as they greeted each other. Spinelli beamed as he sat down next to Maxie, while everyone took their seats for dinner. They were all pleasantly surprised by the last-minute arrival of a guest. Mac quickly stepped forward to take the turkey when Alexis entered the dinning room with the holiday bird. Alexis smiled with embarrassment as Sam and Kristina jumped up to invite Mac to sit at the head of the table. Meanwhile, Diane whispered to Max to fetch an extra chair, so that Kristina could sit down. After Kristina was seated on Maxie's other side, Matt knocked on the door. Spinelli barely contained his disappointment when Maxie invited Matt inside and then offered him the seat that Spinelli had politely vacated. Max fetched another chair, while Kristina offered Spinelli her seat. Maxie appeared uncomfortable as she sat between Matt and Spinelli. At the Quartermaine mansion, Edward studied a picture of his beloved Lila for a long moment and then went to join his family in the foyer. Tracy and Maya each primped in mirrors on opposite sides of the foyer. Edward grumbled that they were too good to be wasted on men like the Spencers. Tracy rolled her eyes while Maya wondered why Edward had offered to pay Maya one million dollars to stay married to Ethan. Edward admitted that there might be hope for Ethan, but Luke was a lost cause. Luke and Ethan arrived for Thanksgiving dinner. Alice fetched the good scotch for Luke despite Edward's earlier order to keep it locked up. Meanwhile, Ethan pulled Maya aside to complain about the sudden lack of romance in their marriage. Maya reminded Ethan that they were only married for the money. After everyone gathered in the parlor, Edward wondered why they were waiting to eat. Tracy explained that they were waiting for Lulu and Dante. Edward wasn't pleased to hear that Sonny's illegitimate son had been invited to spend Thanksgiving with them. Ethan and Maya wandered out of the room, where they continued to flirt and verbally spar. Meanwhile, Tracy announced that she expected Luke to take some ballroom dancing lessons, to pick up the tab, and to buy her an engagement ring. Tracy also wanted Luke to sign the pre-nuptial agreement. Luke assured Tracy that he would meet all of her demands, but he insisted on buying her the engagement ring in his own time. All heads turned when Lucky and Siobhan entered the parlor. Edward was immediately smitten by the Irish lass as he recalled a time, long before, when he had gone to the Emerald Isle. Siobhan charmed Edward with a brief recounting of how she had met Lucky. Edward warned Siobhan to be careful; Lucky might be a cop, but he was still a Spencer and arguably the smoothest talking one of the lot. Edward's mood improved even more when Lulu entered the parlor without her "no good boyfriend." Edward had a temporary change of heart about Dante when Dante and Michael walked in a short time later. Edward was thrilled to see his great-grandson. Michael was curious where Monica was. Edward explained that Monica had gone to the spa because holidays without Alan were too difficult for her. Edward was certain that Monica would be crushed when she learned that she had missed an opportunity to spend Thanksgiving with her grandson. Edward then turned to Dante to warn Dante that if Dante ever hurt Lulu, Alice would make Dante pay. Maya glanced around and then noticed that Tracy and Luke had disappeared. In the den, Tracy caught Luke studying an exquisite diamond ring under a jeweler's eye loupe. Tracy snatched the ring out of Luke's hand and then looked at it. She suspected that it had been stolen, but she didn't recognize it as belonging to Monica or anyone else in the mansion. Luke revealed that he had bought the ring in Amsterdam, so it had not been stolen. Tracy didn't believe him. As she took a closer look, she wondered if it were even a real stone because it was so big. Luke assured her that the diamond was real and that it was her engagement ring. Tracy slid the ring on, used the jeweler's eye loupe to study it more carefully, and then welled up with tears as she realized that it was a real diamond. A short time later, Tracy and Luke entered the parlor. Tracy proudly held up her hand to show everyone the engagement ring. The pizza arrived a short time later. Siobhan was confused because she thought the traditional Thanksgiving Day meal was a turkey. Edward explained that the Quartermaines had a long history of bad luck with turkeys, so they had started a tradition of giving Cook the day off and then ordering a pizza. After Edward honored the special holiday with a song, everyone shouted, "Happy Thanksgiving." Afterwards, Edward invited everyone to "dig in." |
