Dreading another family Thanksgiving, the Huang parents decide to pretend illness and stay home alone. Suspecting romance between his mother and her slightly younger ESL teacher Bernard after her public theatrical performance, Louis invites him for the holiday dinner, to Jessica's dismay, as she believes it's just Chinese grades-greedy sycophancy on grandma's part, yet she plays along, hoping she and Honey can borrow her wheelchair for the Black Friday sale, and granny even insists to cook. Edie and Emery chicken-dare Evan to watch a horror movie with them, but he stays scared, even refusing to attend the parade with them, which happens to have an unsavory accident on TV. The dinner goes wrong when Louis takes excessive offensive at Bernard's drunk misbehavior and both seniors overhear things, while Honey gets too drunk to shop.
