00:01:22 (phone buzzing)
00:01:25 - Hi, hon.
00:01:29 - Hey, mom, how's it going?
00:01:32 - Just getting ready for the hurricane.
00:01:35 - Do you want me now or do you want me to wait
00:01:38 until Thursday morning?
00:01:40 - I'm okay for now, but I'll let you know if that changes.
00:01:42 - Okay, well Ginger is happy to help too, if you need it.
00:01:46 - Oh, I appreciate that.
00:01:47 How's she doing?
00:01:48 - Kind of what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:01:50 - What, is everything okay?
00:01:51 - Yeah, oh, no, sorry.
00:01:53 Everything's fine, she's great.
00:01:55 Just, she got in last night
00:01:58 and surprised me with her boyfriend.
00:02:01 - Well, that's all right.
00:02:03 There's plenty of food to go around.
00:02:05 I could just add another side if need be.
00:02:07 - On the menu?
00:02:09 - The usual, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes,
00:02:12 green bean casserole, cranberry sauce from a can,
00:02:15 fruit salad, and dinner rolls.
00:02:16 You know, I'm thinking about roasting some corn in the cob
00:02:19 or adding some of those long carrots.
00:02:21 Options.
00:02:23 Why, do I need to add anything else?
00:02:27 - I know it's short notice and extremely unfair,
00:02:32 but Chad is a vegan.
00:02:36 - Yeah, so no turkey.
00:02:38 - No, Mom, vegan means no animal products at all.
00:02:42 - No turkey, yeah.
00:02:45 - No, a vegan can't have stuffing
00:02:48 because we use chicken stock.
00:02:50 And he can't have the cranberry sauce
00:02:53 because apparently it has gelatin in it.
00:02:56 - Gelatin has animals in it?
00:02:58 - Yeah, gelatin is made from cow bones.
00:03:01 - Ew.
00:03:03 Well, totally rethinking that dish now.
00:03:08 - Oh, and mashed potatoes can't have milk or butter
00:03:11 'cause it's dairy.
00:03:13 - Now, Anna, that is just wrong.
00:03:15 Your father would roll over in his grave,
00:03:17 burst out of that coffin, dig his way to the surface,
00:03:19 and come over here and throw away those mashed potatoes
00:03:21 in front of all of us with a giant scowl on his face.
00:03:24 - Dramatic, love?
00:03:26 - Just facts, as the kids say.
00:03:28 - Don't say that, Mom.
00:03:30 All right, so by the sounds of it,
00:03:31 Chad can have the carrots and the corn
00:03:34 if we don't use butter or margarine.
00:03:37 - I am not changing our entire Thanksgiving menu
00:03:40 for one boy that might not even make it to Christmas.
00:03:43 We all know how ginger can be with our little boyfriends.
00:03:46 - Don't worry, I'll make his dinner.
00:03:48 Maybe we do a homemade cranberry sauce
00:03:50 and we can go easy on the butter.
00:03:53 Trish could probably do without too much butter.
00:03:56 - Fine.
00:03:57 No promises, but fine.
00:04:01 - Please be nice to Chad.
00:04:02 He really is a good man.
00:04:05 - No promises there either.
00:04:07 You know I'd have to be hard on him
00:04:08 like your father would be.
00:04:10 - Of course.
00:04:11 And seriously, tell me if you need me
00:04:13 to come over earlier at all, okay?
00:04:16 - I'll be fine, honey.
00:04:18 Bring the rabbit food.
00:04:19 - Bye, Mom.
00:04:21 Love you.
00:04:22 - Love you too.
00:04:23 Bye.
00:04:24 (sighing)
00:04:28 Well, you had a good run.
00:04:32 Lexi, how do I make homemade cranberry sauce?
00:04:39 - 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup light brown sugar,
00:04:42 tightly packed, 1/3 cup water, 2/3 cup orange juice,
00:04:47 and 12 ounces of cranberries.
00:04:49 - Oh, I heard no animals in there.
00:04:52 - Would you like me to search animals in cranberry sauce?
00:04:57 - No, Lexi.
00:05:00 Good night.
00:05:01 (phone ringing)
00:05:03 - Hey, Pumpkin.
00:05:10 - Hey, Mom.
00:05:11 I'm home.
00:05:12 - Hey, Mom.
00:05:12 How's it going?
00:05:14 - Just trying to keep it all together.
00:05:17 Did you know gelatin is made with animals?
00:05:19 - Weird random fact of the day, okay.
00:05:22 - Anyway, how's your day going?
00:05:26 - Oh, you know, just trying to get a week's worth
00:05:28 of work done in two and a half days.
00:05:30 And plus the kids are just chomping at the bit right now.
00:05:33 - Do they need some me-ma time?
00:05:35 - Oh, no, you have enough on your plate.
00:05:38 I was actually calling you to see if you needed anything.
00:05:41 - Um, could you be in charge of the beverages?
00:05:46 Tea, lemonade, wine?
00:05:48 I've got plenty of bourbon and vodka.
00:05:51 Juice might be handy.
00:05:52 - Yeah, no problem.
00:05:54 All mine.
00:05:55 - Anything on your mind?
00:05:59 - Just trying to adjust to the first holiday
00:06:03 without the kids.
00:06:05 - That must be so hard on you, Pumpkin.
00:06:07 - Yeah, I mean, we knew it would all be hard
00:06:08 for family get together without them.
00:06:11 You know, it's not ideal to have a divorce and everything,
00:06:15 to have this, but it is what it is.
00:06:18 Oh, also, I'm inviting my neighbor, Vera, to Thanksgiving.
00:06:26 That's not gonna be a problem, is it?
00:06:28 - As long as she's not a vegan too.
00:06:30 Nevermind, I'm happy to have her.
00:06:33 And I look forward to meeting her.
00:06:35 I got a lot of things to do, honey,
00:06:38 so I'll talk to you later.
00:06:39 - Okay, Mom, love you.
00:06:40 - Love you too.
00:06:42 - Bye.
00:06:43 - Where was I?
00:06:48 (upbeat music)
00:07:05 ♪ I got to feel in heaven when my lover's near ♪
00:07:10 ♪ Lord, let this moment last for another year ♪
00:07:16 ♪ Though today has ended ♪
00:07:21 ♪ The night's still young, I'd say ♪
00:07:25 ♪ Lover, don't go away ♪
00:07:33 ♪ Let it be the day ♪
00:07:36 - Hey, neighbor, smells lemony fresh today.
00:07:39 - It won't for long.
00:07:41 What can I do for you, Jeff?
00:07:42 - Well, the wife wanna make a cake and a pie.
00:07:46 We just don't have enough sugar.
00:07:48 You mind if we borrow some, please?
00:07:49 - Absolutely, come on in.
00:07:51 Is this enough?
00:07:56 - Yes, yes, that's just fine.
00:07:59 You sure you don't need it?
00:08:00 - Ah, the girls are making the desserts this year,
00:08:02 so it's fine.
00:08:03 - Okay.
00:08:04 How are you holding up?
00:08:09 - I keep wondering if I should downsize.
00:08:13 But this is the house the girls grew up in.
00:08:17 It's the perfect size for the holidays.
00:08:19 - Well, you know, Lana is ready to help
00:08:21 whenever you're ready for that next step.
00:08:24 No rush.
00:08:25 This market is gonna continue to be crazy for a while.
00:08:31 The holidays would be so different.
00:08:33 I don't know.
00:08:35 Maybe that's too much change.
00:08:36 This is gonna be hard.
00:08:40 Tom was the one that got down my appliances
00:08:46 and carved the turkey, said grace,
00:08:49 gave the best advice, kept everyone in line.
00:08:53 I'm fine most days, but every once in a while,
00:08:58 it just hits me in the face and he's really gone.
00:09:01 And then I'm alone.
00:09:03 - Oh, you're not alone, Martha.
00:09:07 You have a beautiful family that loves you.
00:09:10 Great friends.
00:09:13 If you want, I can carve the turkey.
00:09:16 As a matter of fact, what appliances you need down?
00:09:20 It's the least I can do.
00:09:21 - Crock-Pot, the food processor,
00:09:26 and basically everything that's up there.
00:09:28 - Okay, here we go.
00:09:31 - Thank you.
00:09:32 Oh, don't break yourself.
00:09:36 - Yeah, yeah, coming right up.
00:09:38 - How's Lana's arthritis, by the way?
00:09:41 - Some days are better than others.
00:09:46 You know, Jeremy flies in tomorrow, so that will help.
00:09:51 The kids can't wait to see our new patio.
00:09:56 - You should come over sometime
00:09:58 and have a margarita and relax.
00:10:01 - I'll take you up on that.
00:10:02 Thanks for your help and for listening.
00:10:06 Tom was the muscles and I was always the chef.
00:10:11 - You are doing a great job.
00:10:15 Holidays can be tough.
00:10:17 I know when I lost my brother,
00:10:21 it felt like a piece of me was missing.
00:10:24 I know he's always with me.
00:10:25 Lana has this bird feeder
00:10:28 and there's always this cardinal on it.
00:10:31 He was the nosy one.
00:10:33 (laughing)
00:10:35 Hey, thank you for the sugar
00:10:36 and if you need any more help, you let me know, okay?
00:10:40 - I will.
00:10:41 - Okay.
00:10:42 - Thanks, Jeff.
00:10:43 (gentle music)
00:10:46,
00:10:48 (gentle music)
00:10:51 - Rich, hi.
00:11:15 Everything okay?
00:11:16 The kids okay?
00:11:16 - Yeah, sorry.
00:11:17 I should have called first.
00:11:19 I wanted to bring by my green bean casserole for tomorrow.
00:11:21 - Okay, thanks.
00:11:25 - Listen, do you have a quick second to talk?
00:11:29 - I've got a lot to do, so.
00:11:31 - Thanks, I gotta go get the kids in a minute.
00:11:35 I just, I wanted to run something by you.
00:11:38 I messed up big time
00:11:41 and I've been doing a lot of thinking
00:11:42 and soul searching thanks to AA.
00:11:44 - Rich, spit it out.
00:11:45 What, what, what?
00:11:47 - I want my family back, okay?
00:11:48 I want Trish back.
00:11:49 I just, I'm--
00:11:50 - No, no, no, no.
00:11:51 You are not gonna do this to Trish and the kids.
00:11:53 What, a single life too hard for you now?
00:11:56 We should have thought about that
00:11:57 before you broke your marriage vow.
00:11:58 - You're right and it's not fair.
00:12:00 I messed up.
00:12:02 I wanna make it right.
00:12:03 - That's what divorce is for.
00:12:05 You broke her into a million pieces.
00:12:07 She is still recovering.
00:12:08 You can't just waltz back in here
00:12:11 like nothing ever happened.
00:12:13 - It's, it's just been,
00:12:17 really, really hard on the kids, especially Shelby.
00:12:20 - Oh, and that's what family counseling is for.
00:12:22 Don't go confusing them
00:12:24 when they're still just recovering as well.
00:12:26 - You're right.
00:12:28 I want one chance to make it right.
00:12:30 Can the kids and I come to Thanksgiving?
00:12:32 - And it's not fair to use my grandkids
00:12:34 in your little game either.
00:12:36 - Look, I promise I will behave.
00:12:38 Okay, this is strictly to get everyone together
00:12:40 and no one knows I can't make a dinner
00:12:42 like yours for the kids.
00:12:44 (sighs)
00:12:46 Give me one good reason why I should trust you.
00:12:48 - I promise that I have learned from my mistakes.
00:12:53 Okay, I want to be a better man.
00:12:56 Let me prove it.
00:12:57 - The kids, of course, are welcome.
00:13:04 You, however, will be on thin ice.
00:13:06 No problems, no drama, no tears from anybody.
00:13:09 Not a single drop of alcohol touches your lips.
00:13:11 Tomorrow's gonna be hard enough on everybody as it is.
00:13:14 We don't need your shenanigans adding extra heartbreak.
00:13:17 - Thank you, thank you.
00:13:18 - One chance.
00:13:21 - Got it, I got it, thank you.
00:13:24 - Go.
00:13:25 For fuck's sake.
00:13:31 See what I have to put up with?
00:13:34 Don't give me that look.
00:13:37 Hey, this is my dish.
00:13:40 (somber piano music)
00:13:44 (birds chirping)
00:13:47 (somber piano music)
00:13:50 (birds chirping)
00:13:53 - Martha?
00:14:18 - Oh, Lana, hi.
00:14:20 - Hi.
00:14:20 - Hey.
00:14:21 - How are you?
00:14:26 - Oh, well, I'm good, I'm good.
00:14:28 Just enjoying this gorgeous day.
00:14:31 Thank you for the sugar, by the way.
00:14:37 I will get your container back to you.
00:14:39 - It's okay, I've got too many to count.
00:14:45 Jeremy and the family make it in okay?
00:14:46 - Yeah, yeah.
00:14:48 Early flights this time of year make it easier,
00:14:50 and it's a quick one, so it takes some of the stress out.
00:14:55 Also, Sherry just told us they're expecting.
00:15:00 - Oh, goodness.
00:15:02 Oh, congratulations, how exciting.
00:15:05 - Yes, yes.
00:15:07 This time next year,
00:15:09 we'll have another little one to spoil.
00:15:11 (both laughing)
00:15:13 - Such a blessing.
00:15:14 New grand baby movies are just the best.
00:15:16 They just bring so much love to the family.
00:15:20 - Speaking of love, I thought I saw Rich come by.
00:15:23 - My girl sure know how to pick 'em.
00:15:28 Ginger's bringing a new boyfriend for Thanksgiving,
00:15:29 and Trish's ex is trying to reconcile.
00:15:32 I just cannot do this.
00:15:35 Well, excuse me.
00:15:37 Hey, Anne.
00:15:41 No, that's fine.
00:15:46 I'll make up the bedroom.
00:15:47 Love you too.
00:15:50 Bye.
00:15:52 And so it begins.
00:15:56 - The sad part is, it'll be over before you know it.
00:16:00 - Is Jeff doing okay?
00:16:06 He was helping me with some of the appliances earlier,
00:16:08 and it seemed to be a bit of a struggle.
00:16:10 I hope he didn't pull anything.
00:16:12 - Jeff still thinks he's Captain America.
00:16:15 (both laughing)
00:16:16 - Let him do his thing until something snaps.
00:16:19 (both laughing)
00:16:21 - Sounds familiar.
00:16:22 - Oh, Martha.
00:16:26 The first year is always the hardest,
00:16:29 and you are very blessed.
00:16:32 Don't forget that.
00:16:33 - Thanks.
00:16:35 - A condo opened up on the beach.
00:16:40 Prime location, and just enough space for you.
00:16:44 - (sighs) I don't know.
00:16:46 - All right, well, think about it.
00:16:50 Maybe Anna can host the family meals,
00:16:55 or switch it up in general.
00:16:57 - I'll give it some thought.
00:16:59 - All right.
00:17:00 Well, I will get that container back to you.
00:17:04 (both laughing)
00:17:06 - Lexi, play my favorite song.
00:17:13 (Lexi humming)
00:17:16 You're missing out, babe.
00:17:17 Hey, Meemaw.
00:17:23 Oh, ginger snap!
00:17:25 Oh, your bedroom is ready,
00:17:27 and the bathroom is fresh and clean.
00:17:30 Oh, I ordered a pizza.
00:17:31 Meat lovers, right?
00:17:33 Should be here soon.
00:17:34 Lexi, volume down.
00:17:36 So, I hope you don't mind,
00:17:38 but a couple of my friends wanted to catch a movie tonight.
00:17:40 Oh, you're an adult.
00:17:41 This don't do anything stupid.
00:17:43 - So, what do we do to prep for tonight?
00:17:48 - We should probably get the spices together
00:17:52 and out for the turkey.
00:17:53 Oh, can you get the pan?
00:17:54 (Lexi humming)
00:17:58 I forget.
00:18:02 Do we stuff and butter it up tonight, or tomorrow?
00:18:05 - Oh, tomorrow.
00:18:06 Remember that one year that Pop-Up thought he would help me
00:18:10 get ahead of things?
00:18:11 (Lexi laughing)
00:18:14 The turkey was dry,
00:18:15 and the deviled eggs were pretty gritty.
00:18:17 He immediately grabbed a bottle of scotch,
00:18:19 and saying the gobbler needed to gobble down his nightcap,
00:18:23 and nobody laughed.
00:18:24 - Oh, honey.
00:18:32 Oh, no.
00:18:34 Oh, honey.
00:18:37 - I just miss him so much.
00:18:40 - Oh, baby, I know, I know.
00:18:42 (Lexi crying)
00:18:44 You know what?
00:18:45 He's still with us, though.
00:18:46 - Yeah, you'll probably feel his eyes on you
00:18:49 as you baste the turkey.
00:18:50 - I'm sorry.
00:18:53 I don't know what came over me.
00:18:54 - Oh, never apologize for feeling what you're feeling.
00:18:59 Tomorrow's gonna be hard on everyone.
00:19:02 You are 100% allowed to feel whatever you need to feel.
00:19:04 (Lexi crying)
00:19:05 - It's like a fucking fountain.
00:19:08 - Now that you can apologize for.
00:19:11 Sorry.
00:19:12 How about I get a headstart on peeling the potatoes?
00:19:17 - Excellent idea.
00:19:19 I think I'm going to wind down.
00:19:21 You have fun tonight, honey.

00:19:39 ♪ But I'm left with an empty nest ♪
00:19:43 - The cure for the holiday blues.
00:19:48 - Thanks.
00:19:49 I guess I just need some loosening up.
00:19:53 It's too soon, right?
00:20:05 To think about packing up.
00:20:09 I mean, it's only been a couple months.
00:20:11 - There's no right or wrong answer.
00:20:14 Just do what you feel is best.
00:20:17 After this weekend, I can take you to some open houses.
00:20:25 We can do brunch, walk on the beach, just soak it all in.
00:20:31 - You know, he kept telling me,
00:20:35 "Stick with the plan, Martha.
00:20:37 Even after I'm gone, get on the boat.
00:20:39 Get on the boat."
00:20:40 Part of me wants to get on that boat.
00:20:45 The other part just wants to stay put.
00:20:49 - It may not be the right time to make any decisions,
00:20:56 but it is the right time to have a conversation.
00:20:59 - I'm sorry.
00:21:00 - You're not abandoning the life that you built here.
00:21:06 You're just moving forward into a life of new adventure.
00:21:11 And your family would be proud of you for that.
00:21:14 - No, no.
00:21:15 My girls won't understand.
00:21:19 There's so much happening right now,
00:21:22 and this is the one place that stays the same.
00:21:27 - Well, you don't know until you have the conversation.
00:21:29 So I'm gonna get you a shot of tequila to go with that.
00:21:34 Maybe then you'll drink up and drunk dial them.
00:21:37 (both laughing)
00:21:40 - Maybe that's what I need.
00:21:44 Double shot to relax and make that call.
00:21:49 (cork popping)
00:21:52 (gentle music)
00:21:54 (upbeat music)
00:21:57 (screaming)
00:22:12 - It's okay.
00:22:13 Meemaw, it's okay.
00:22:14 This is Chad, my boyfriend.
00:22:17 - Would you mind waiting outside
00:22:20 while I have a conversation with my granddaughter, please?
00:22:22 - Yes, ma'am.
00:22:24 - That was the mug you gave me when you got accepted.
00:22:27 - I know.
00:22:30 I know I will get you a new one.
00:22:32 One with the elephant mascot.
00:22:34 Ginger Annabelle, have you lost your mind?
00:22:39 How could you have a boy come over here
00:22:40 without asking my permission
00:22:41 and have him sleep in the same bed?
00:22:43 You, you are not married.
00:22:46 And there have always been rules in this house.
00:22:50 - I know.
00:22:52 I'm so disappointed in you.
00:22:54 What were you thinking?
00:22:57 - We went to the movies and then to a friend's house
00:23:00 and Chad and I, we had a few drinks.
00:23:02 So we called a ride share and we didn't want to wake up mom.
00:23:05 And I knew you'd be sound asleep.
00:23:08 I'm sorry.
00:23:08 I should have asked.
00:23:10 - Where's your car now?
00:23:12 - At a friend's house.
00:23:14 - Take care of it.
00:23:17 And the two of you get cleaned up.
00:23:18 Today's gonna be a long day.
00:23:19 (gentle music)
00:23:22 - I am so sorry, Mrs. Winthrop.
00:23:32 I take full responsibility.
00:23:34 Ginger is wonderful.
00:23:35 She would...
00:23:36 I would just completely understand
00:23:40 if you did not want me to stay for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:23:42 - Martha is fine.
00:23:45 And I accept your apology.
00:23:49 And if anything, it's more on Ginger than it is on you.
00:23:53 Besides, Anna's making you a special meal.
00:23:58 Doesn't mean I won't be at work though.
00:24:02 - Yeah, yeah.
00:24:05 I mean, a hundred percent.
00:24:06 I just don't feel super comfortable
00:24:11 slicing the turkey though, I'll be honest.
00:24:12 You know, like 245 million turkeys are slaughtered every--
00:24:17 - Coffee before trivia.
00:24:19 (laughing)
00:24:21 - Just wait until Trish gets here.
00:24:27 Things have got pretty interesting.
00:24:29 - Yeah, well, I look forward to it.
00:24:32 I can go get the car too
00:24:38 so that you guys have some time together.
00:24:40 - Thank you.
00:24:41 - Yeah, of course.
00:24:42 That your pop-up?
00:24:48 - It's still pretty fresh for everyone.
00:24:50 So, tread lightly.
00:24:52 - Yeah.
00:24:53 Well, he looks like a tough guy who took care of his family.
00:24:57 - Always told everyone who came to visit,
00:25:00 he's an intimidating grizzly.
00:25:02 Who's as plushy as a teddy bear.
00:25:04 He fought in Vietnam War in Desert Storm.
00:25:07 - Wow.
00:25:08 - Meemaw always said he was the glue in the family,
00:25:11 but she really is.
00:25:13 - Ginger, could you get the turkey out
00:25:17 and put it in the pan?
00:25:18 I need to start cooking.
00:25:19 - So, how long does it usually take to cook it?
00:25:33 - Well, after stuffing it with aromatics,
00:25:37 I like to cook it at a low temperature
00:25:39 for about two to three hours.
00:25:41 Then, after keeping up with the basting,
00:25:46 I turn up the heat for another couple hours.
00:25:49 Dinner should be around three or four,
00:25:50 so I like to get started between 10 and 11.
00:25:52 There's an art to it.
00:25:54 - You know, I like to do a low and slow
00:25:59 with a cauliflower steak myself.
00:26:00 You just season it like regular beef, you know?
00:26:04 Like a, I mean, I don't really know what,
00:26:07 I've eaten beef before, but it's the usual.
00:26:10 (phone buzzing)
00:26:12 - Sorry.
00:26:12 Hi, hon.
00:26:15 - Hi, Mom, just finishing up some things
00:26:16 and should be done and over within an hour.
00:26:19 Do you need me to bring anything?
00:26:20 - No, just the alternate food.
00:26:23 - All taken care of.
00:26:24 I found some interesting recipes online.
00:26:26 I might try experimenting with some vegan options.
00:26:29 - Whatever floats your boat.
00:26:31 - You okay?
00:26:34 (sighs)
00:26:36 - Just getting ready for a hectic day.
00:26:38 - Just remember, you don't have to do everything.
00:26:42 Let us take some things off your plate, okay?
00:26:44 - I'll be fine, honey.
00:26:45 Just bring the alternate food.
00:26:47 - I'll get the pie crust going.
00:26:50 - I thought you hated baking.
00:26:52 - Well, Chad is a self-taught chef
00:26:54 and he's inspired me to learn some more cooking techniques.
00:26:57 I wanna be just as good as you.
00:26:58 - This boy has seemed to have made
00:27:01 quite the impression on you.
00:27:02 - Just give him a chance, Meemaw.
00:27:05 (upbeat music)
00:27:13 (knife chopping)
00:27:16 - You know, he's studying to be a marine biologist.
00:27:20 - Oh.
00:27:21 Is that why he doesn't eat meat?
00:27:24 - He's passionate about saving the animals,
00:27:26 like the manatees,
00:27:28 but he's a vegan because of health benefits.
00:27:30 - Where does he get the protein?
00:27:33 - I'll let you ask him, though.
00:27:35 - Not today, dear.
00:27:37 Are you giving him a chance to be a vegan?
00:27:40 - I'm not sure.
00:27:41 - Not today, dear.
00:27:42 Are you giving up animals, too?
00:27:44 - He respects that I still choose to eat animal products.
00:27:49 And, you know, I have eaten a lot lesser meat, though.
00:27:54 More fish.
00:27:55 And some vegan alternatives are pretty good.
00:27:57 - I like the way he treats me, too.
00:28:06 It's not every day you find a handsome, respectful man
00:28:09 who knows what he wants.
00:28:11 - I had that.
00:28:12 - I want that.
00:28:17 - You deserve to be happy.
00:28:22 That's all I want for you.
00:28:24 All of you.
00:28:25 - Pretty girl.
00:28:32 - Here, you try.
00:28:33 (knife chopping)
00:28:36 (laughing)
00:28:37 - Watch your fingers.
00:28:38 (laughing)
00:28:40 - Watch your fingers.
00:28:42 (door creaking)
00:28:44 - Happy Thanksgiving!
00:28:46 - Happy Thanksgiving!
00:28:46 - Hey, baby!
00:28:47 - Happy Thanksgiving.
00:28:49 - Aw, hon.
00:28:50 - Come on.
00:28:51 (kissing)
00:28:52 - Mom, this is Vera.
00:28:54 - Hi, Vera, nice to meet you.
00:28:55 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:28:56 - Hi, happy Thanksgiving to you.
00:28:58 Nice to meet you.
00:28:58 - Aw, mom.
00:28:59 - Smells good in here.
00:29:03 - Thank you.
00:29:04 - Thank you.
00:29:05 - Hi.
00:29:05 - This is Tad, my boyfriend.
00:29:09 - Nice to meet you.
00:29:10 - Nice to meet you.
00:29:11 Hi, nice to meet you, Vera, right?
00:29:13 - Yes, nice to meet you.
00:29:13 - Happy Thanksgiving.
00:29:14 - Happy Thanksgiving.
00:29:15 - Oh, yes, thank you.
00:29:16 - Thank you again, Miss Anna, for the food.
00:29:18 This looks amazing.
00:29:19 - Of course.
00:29:20 Keep an eye on Trish.
00:29:21 I caught her drooling over the mushrooms.
00:29:23 (laughing)
00:29:24 - Well, I'm happy to share.
00:29:26 - Thanks.
00:29:27 - Miss Martha, would you like me to grill the corn for you?
00:29:32 - Oh, great idea.
00:29:33 Thank you, Tad.
00:29:34 - Yeah, no problem.
00:29:35 - Here, Tad.
00:29:36 - Would you actually happen to have an extra pan
00:29:38 or something to put on the grill,
00:29:39 just 'cause the meat's already on it?
00:29:40 - Oh, gotcha.
00:29:41 I already got it.
00:29:42 Thank you.
00:29:43 - Sweet.
00:29:44 - Show you where the grill is.
00:29:44 - Yeah, after you.
00:29:45 - Here, Mom, let me help you organize this a little bit.
00:29:48 - Okay.
00:29:49 - Hopefully having Ginger over last night was a big help.
00:29:53 - Yes, very helpful.
00:29:55 - And Ginger, did you behave yourself last night?
00:29:59 - Of course.
00:30:00 Did you have a nice night all alone, by yourself,
00:30:04 by your lonesome?
00:30:06 - Mom, I can take over those carrots
00:30:09 if you wanna go relax a little bit.
00:30:11 - Okay.
00:30:12 - I've been kicked out of my own kitchen,
00:30:20 so I get to join you.
00:30:22 I'm sorry, I've been so grumpy.
00:30:26 - You're fine.
00:30:28 I don't think you're grumpy at all.
00:30:30 It's really hard to have this many people in the house.
00:30:34 - Thanks for loudly being nosy.
00:30:36 - Well.
00:30:38 - Did you make your famous carbonara for him?
00:30:43 - Yeah, it was nice.
00:30:46 He really is one of the good ones.
00:30:48 - So you said yes.
00:30:50 - I still haven't decided yet.
00:30:53 I just, this is the first time in a long time
00:30:59 that I've felt truly loved.
00:31:04 - You deserve to be happy, Mom.
00:31:05 - I just don't know how everyone's gonna react.
00:31:10 I mean, it's a big change.
00:31:15 - They'll be happy for you.
00:31:16 Change is a lot, but you deserve to be happy.
00:31:20 - And Mom, I don't know how she's gonna take it.
00:31:24 We've always been so close.
00:31:26 - California is in--
00:31:27 - No, not California.
00:31:30 Ginger was just telling me about internship possibilities
00:31:35 for the summer, and California has a lot of opportunities
00:31:40 to study chemistry.
00:31:41 - I mean, California does have a lot of possibilities.
00:31:45 - That's good.
00:31:46 - Yeah.
00:31:47 - Okay.
00:31:48 - See you guys in a moment.
00:31:51 (laughing)
00:31:58 - When my husband died three years ago,
00:32:00 I thought I would never feel the same,
00:32:03 but it does get better.
00:32:05 Plus, you have your kids near you
00:32:08 so they can come visit you.
00:32:09 - How often do yours get to visit you?
00:32:13 - When they can.
00:32:16 My son lives in New York
00:32:17 and he works for an investment banker
00:32:19 and his schedule can get a little wacky.
00:32:21 And my daughter, she lives in South Dakota.
00:32:23 She studies black bears at a state park.
00:32:25 - Oh, my.
00:32:27 - Well, they both have their passions
00:32:29 and we keep in touch virtually.
00:32:32 And I go see them when I can
00:32:33 since I have more time on my hands.
00:32:35 It works.
00:32:37 - Does loneliness ever go away?
00:32:41 - Yeah.
00:32:42 Well, you just won't know what to do with all this time.
00:32:46 Once I started becoming active in the community,
00:32:50 I started to make really great friends, like Trish.
00:32:53 And after a while,
00:32:55 the friendships start to feel like family
00:32:58 and like everything's going to be okay.
00:33:02 - I should probably get a hobby,
00:33:05 like gardening or pickleball.
00:33:08 Something to really get the blood pumping,
00:33:11 like, oh, maybe I'll run a marathon.
00:33:13 (both laughing)
00:33:16 I'm just grateful that both my girls
00:33:17 have had such wonderful support, especially Trish.
00:33:22 - I'm so glad that Trish has found someone
00:33:24 who truly understands her.
00:33:26 I'm sure he's won you over too.
00:33:29 - Who?
00:33:30 (dramatic music)
00:33:32 - What are you doing here?
00:33:33 We had an agreement.
00:33:35 - Hey, I said no drama.
00:33:37 - Hey, I didn't do anything.
00:33:38 She's freaking out over nothing.
00:33:40 - It's called boundaries, you half-wit.
00:33:42 - I thought the kids would like it better here.
00:33:44 - I thought you were gonna tell her.
00:33:46 - Oh, you knew?
00:33:47 - Rich, please go outside.
00:33:51 - Trish, I said he could come.
00:33:53 The children should be here and I asked them to behave.
00:33:56 - Oh, I swear my blood pressure's gonna skyrocket today.
00:34:00 Hey, hey, hey, let's, come on, let's go in here and talk.
00:34:06 Let's take a minute.
00:34:07 - I don't get it, I really don't get it.
00:34:11 - Hey.
00:34:20 - Hey.
00:34:21 - You wanna play some cards?
00:34:22 - Yeah.
00:34:23 - All right.
00:34:24 - Do you guys want juice or soda?
00:34:26 - Bartender, yes.
00:34:28 Thank you, actually, I was about to call for you.
00:34:30 Let me see.
00:34:33 Oh yeah, I would like a Shirley Temple, extra cherries,
00:34:36 bit more of the cherry juice, heck, throw it in a glass,
00:34:38 add a couple olives.
00:34:39 - Ethan, this isn't your own private restaurant.
00:34:43 I'll have a Scotch on the rocks.
00:34:46 - No.
00:34:49 - Fine soda, don't tell mom.
00:34:52 - Yeah.
00:34:53 - He's gonna behave himself
00:34:56 if he knows what's good for him.
00:34:58 Trish doesn't need any extra help with her blood pressure.
00:35:03 You know the doctor checks that.
00:35:04 - How are you doing, honey?
00:35:07 We hardly ever talk about you.
00:35:08 - You know, same old, same old.
00:35:11 Just getting used to being an empty nester.
00:35:15 I just started transitioning Ginger's room
00:35:18 into a spare room.
00:35:20 - How are things going with that firefighter?
00:35:23 Seems to me you were rekindling things, so to speak.
00:35:25 - Not meant to be.
00:35:27 He's trying to get back with his ex-wife for the kids.
00:35:30 - It'll work out, sweetie.
00:35:33 You deserve somebody who makes you happy.
00:35:36 - You know, being a single mom is definitely difficult,
00:35:39 but I know there's someone out there for me.
00:35:42 Probably someone unexpected.
00:35:45 - As long as they treat you right,
00:35:47 it doesn't matter how unexpected.
00:35:48 - So, I take it your mom doesn't know?
00:35:57 - No, she doesn't know I've been seeing someone.
00:36:02 Well, you haven't been telling her anything, have you?
00:36:06 - Nearly.
00:36:07 Maybe she'll forget.
00:36:10 - Oh my God, no, she's an elephant.
00:36:12 She never forgets.
00:36:13 (Trish sighs)
00:36:17 - He's probably just gonna freak when he finds out, though.
00:36:19 - Yeah.
00:36:20 But he does deserve to know.
00:36:24 (Trish sighs)
00:36:27 - I know, I was just hoping to make it
00:36:28 through the first trimester, you know?
00:36:29 - I get that.
00:36:31 - Just make sure everything's okay.
00:36:33 - Yeah.
00:36:35 (Trish groans)
00:36:39 You okay?
00:36:40 - Yeah.
00:36:41 Yes, cramp, I've just been having them lately.
00:36:43 I'm sure it's fine.
00:36:45 (Trish sighs)
00:36:48 Yeah, it's fine.
00:36:50 (somber music)
00:36:54 - Can I talk to you for a minute, please?
00:37:07 Alone?
00:37:11 (phone buzzing)
00:37:14 Look, I don't want to ruin the holiday, okay?
00:37:18 I just wanna come here,
00:37:20 have a nice dinner with everyone together, okay?
00:37:22 We can try to be cordial.
00:37:24 - You cannot walk in here
00:37:25 and expect everything to be peaceful.
00:37:27 - Look, I just wanna move forward all together.
00:37:33 - We are divorced.
00:37:35 - Oh, hey, where'd she come from?
00:37:38 (Trish groans)
00:37:41 - Through today and then just kind of, you know,
00:37:49 work towards whatever this is.
00:37:51 - Trish, Trish, we are divorced.
00:37:54 The whatever this is is being suffered.
00:37:57 The issue is that you cannot accept it.
00:38:01 - Do you have any kinks?
00:38:06 - Go fish.
00:38:07 - It's getting pretty heat in there.
00:38:09 - With the turkey out of the oven and all.
00:38:14 - Dad said we shouldn't have come.
00:38:15 - It's okay, he can tell us.
00:38:19 - Ever since Susan dumped him,
00:38:24 he's been trying to make up with mom.
00:38:27 - Yeah.
00:38:30 - I'm sure he's been trying to make up with mom.
00:38:33 - Yeah, I'm sure he's been trying to make up with mom.
00:38:36 - Yeah, I don't really see them
00:38:39 kissing and making up anytime soon.
00:38:41 - I mean, we didn't tell dad about Toby, so it's fine.
00:38:46 - Well, you can tell us anything.
00:38:50 We can keep a secret.
00:38:51 - Listen, I'm sorry this whole single life
00:38:57 isn't all cracked up like you thought it would be,
00:38:59 but you chose this path, okay?
00:39:01 (Trish sighs)
00:39:04 - Oh my God.
00:39:05 - Okay.
00:39:06 Listen, if I have to play nice,
00:39:10 if I have to just get through today, then I will.
00:39:12 But after today,
00:39:16 I need you to respect my boundaries and back off, okay?
00:39:23 - Okay, fine.
00:39:28 (Trish laughs)
00:39:35 - I'm pregnant.
00:39:36 (Trish laughs)
00:39:40 (Trish sighs)
00:39:47 - Give me one reason why you should join us for dinner.
00:39:55 You made Trish cry, you're confusing the children,
00:39:57 and quite frankly, the moment you stepped in here,
00:39:59 I could just feel the energy being sucked out.
00:40:01 So why should you be here?
00:40:02 Why should you be here?
00:40:04 You're being sucked out.
00:40:05 So why should you join us for dinner, Rich?
00:40:07 - Fine, I'll take the kids.
00:40:09 - Oh no, you already used that with me once.
00:40:11 Not falling for it again.
00:40:12 So I'll ask you one more time.
00:40:14 Why should you join us for dinner?
00:40:16 The way I see it is you've got two choices.
00:40:20 Either you go home and one of us will bring the children back
00:40:22 after dinner is done,
00:40:24 or you stick that tail up between your legs
00:40:26 and you be as quiet as a mouse for the rest of the evening.
00:40:29 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:30 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:32 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:33 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:34 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:35 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:37 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:38 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:39 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:41 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:42 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:43 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:44 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:44 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:45 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:46 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:47 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:48 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:49 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:50 - I'm not going to go home.
00:40:50 (silence)
00:40:52 - It might be me.
00:41:04 - Oh no.
00:41:06 No, it's definitely me.
00:41:07 Rich must have told her.
00:41:09 - I don't know.
00:41:11 - I think Ginger might have said something
00:41:13 about me last night.
00:41:14 - Really?
00:41:16 - Yeah.
00:41:17 - How's that going?
00:41:19 (laughing)
00:41:22 - You all right?
00:41:31 - You sure?
00:41:34 - Mm-hmm.
00:41:35 - Just going over the menu.
00:41:39 - Lexi, what's on the menu?
00:41:42 - Thanksgiving includes turkey, mashed potato,
00:41:46 corn, green bean casserole, Tom's famous gravy.
00:41:49 (gasping)
00:41:52 - I forgot the gravy.
00:41:55 - It's okay, it's okay.
00:41:56 I bought a jar at the store.
00:41:58 We can doctor it up and--
00:42:00 - It's not the same.
00:42:01 Okay, well, we can make it.
00:42:03 - We'll do it.
00:42:04 We got this.
00:42:05 - Your girl's got this.
00:42:06 - Go lay down, okay?
00:42:07 We will, let us take care of it.
00:42:09 - She's a mess, period.
00:42:11 - Okay.
00:42:15 - Okay.
00:42:16 - Let us know if you need anything.
00:42:18 - Okay.

00:44:25 Can't seem to do anything right.
00:44:27 - Including coming here.

00:45:07 I'm not the owner and I'm also not interested.
00:45:10 So are you gonna settle your tab
00:45:13 or does Cliff need to work with you?
00:45:15 - I'll see Cliff tomorrow at the meeting.
00:45:17 Take care of it then.
00:45:18 - Yeah, those seem like they're really working.
00:45:20 How long have you claimed to be sober this week?
00:45:23 - Look, it's just a formality, okay?
00:45:26 I don't have a problem, I'm not a divorce.
00:45:29 - Your problems led to divorce.
00:45:31 - That'll cover today, all right?
00:45:38 I'll give Cliff a rest.
00:45:40 - Rich, don't do anything stupid.
00:45:44 Just go home.
00:45:46 I know you, buddy.
00:45:47 Just take my advice this time for once, okay?
00:45:51 - You got it.
00:45:51 - Hey, Mom.
00:45:55 There's some water here.
00:45:58 - Thank you.
00:45:58 - We're ready for dinner whenever you're ready.
00:46:03 - Okay.
00:46:05 Okay, you can start without me.
00:46:07 I'll be there in just a minute.
00:46:08 - Love you. - I love you too.
00:46:18 - Good.
00:46:19 - Can we eat yet?
00:46:24 - Do you wanna play outside while we wait?
00:46:28 Lexi, volume down.
00:46:34 Sorry for the delay.
00:46:36 Shall we?
00:46:42 (clears throat)
00:46:45 - Lord, we thank you for this opportunity
00:46:51 to come together to celebrate this day.
00:46:54 (knocking)
00:46:58 - What do you want?
00:47:05 - Nice.
00:47:08 Look, it's my holiday with the kids, okay?
00:47:09 I'd like to join for dinner.
00:47:12 - It's fine, Anna.
00:47:13 He can sit with the kids.
00:47:15 Hurry up, Rich.
00:47:18 We're in the middle of saying grace.
00:47:20 - Thank you.
00:47:23 Appreciate that.
00:47:23 (sighs)
00:47:40 - As I was saying, Lord, we thank you for the opportunity
00:47:45 to all be together as a family to celebrate this day.
00:47:49 We're thankful for the collaborative effort
00:47:53 it took to make this meal a reality.
00:47:55 Lord, we ask that you hear our prayer
00:48:00 and bless those who are less fortunate than we are.
00:48:03 Fill the empty places and warm the cold hearts.
00:48:10 Lord, we also wanna give thanks to you
00:48:11 for being with us through our time of grief.
00:48:14 These past couple of months
00:48:17 have been very trying for my family.
00:48:20 Thank you for giving strength to my daughters
00:48:24 as they work through heartache.
00:48:27 And thank you for my wonderful grandchildren
00:48:29 who have been very appreciative of their mothers.
00:48:37 And although Tom, although Tom is no longer with us,
00:48:42 we are grateful for those sweet moments
00:48:45 when we feel his presence.
00:48:47 In your holy name we pray, amen.
00:48:53 (sighs)
00:48:58 Can you...
00:49:01 Yeah.
00:49:05 (chuckles)
00:49:08 I can take care of that.
00:49:08 - No, this is my job now.
00:49:10 - Okay.
00:49:12 - Meemaw, I'm hungry.
00:49:25 - Okay, kids, if you want, you can go ahead
00:49:27 and fix a plate and take it outside to eat.
00:49:29 - Okay.
00:49:30 - Rich, if you want to join them,
00:49:42 feel free to fix a plate as well.
00:49:44 - That's okay, I'm fine here.
00:49:45 - Oh, thought you were here to spend time with the kids.
00:49:50 They're going outside.
00:49:51 - I'll catch up with them for dessert.
00:49:55 (gentle music)
00:49:58 - Okay, well then everyone dig in.
00:50:02 (gentle music)
00:50:05 (gentle music)
00:50:34 - You smell like a brewery.
00:50:36 - I only had one.
00:50:38 It's been a bit of a frustrating day.
00:50:40 - Chad, how is everything?
00:50:46 - So good, so good.
00:50:49 Thank you again, Miss Anna.
00:50:50 The roasted carrots are amazing.
00:50:54 If you haven't got any, you should definitely try it.
00:50:56 (glasses clinking)
00:50:57 - You know, I think now might be a great time
00:50:59 to go around the table and share what we're thankful for.
00:51:02 Ginger Snap, would you like to start us off?
00:51:05 - I'm thankful for my supportive family
00:51:07 as I've been working towards my education.
00:51:10 And I'm also thankful for my fantastic boyfriend, Chad.
00:51:15 I know it's sudden, but I'm kind of crazy for him.
00:51:18 - Won't last.
00:51:21 - Chad, what about you?
00:51:24 - Well, I'm very thankful to you all
00:51:27 for allowing a stranger into your holiday
00:51:31 with a very, very different diet.
00:51:33 But I'm very also thankful for you, Miss Martha,
00:51:38 for how open-minded you've been,
00:51:40 how welcoming you've been with your home,
00:51:42 even though this morning had a bit of a rocky start.
00:51:46 - That it was.
00:51:48 - Vera?
00:51:49 - Like Chad, I want to thank everybody
00:51:53 for welcoming me into your hearts and your homes
00:51:56 for this holiday.
00:51:57 It definitely feels like family.
00:52:02 (choking)
00:52:04 - Hun?
00:52:07 - Well, I'm thankful for family, like everyone.
00:52:14 I'm thankful for Ginger
00:52:17 and her safety and success at school.
00:52:21 I'm thankful for Chad for being a supportive partner.
00:52:24 And wherever the road may lead you,
00:52:28 I am thankful for your success.
00:52:32 (spitting)
00:52:34 Care to chime in, Rich?
00:52:36 - I'm thankful for a swift divorce
00:52:43 when my wife took me in for almost everything.
00:52:46 - Oh, you're not thankful for Meredith?
00:52:49 - That's Susan, actually.
00:52:52 And no, we broke up last weekend,
00:52:54 so I guess I'm thankful for my independence.
00:52:57 - Richard, you are on thin ice.
00:53:00 Now, you're one to talk.
00:53:03 You sit here putting on this Betty Crocker appearance
00:53:05 when your daughters are making a mess of their lives.
00:53:08 And you just sweep it all under the rug
00:53:10 and pretend like everything's perfect.
00:53:12 Well, you know what?
00:53:14 That rug is gonna spit back and then boom!
00:53:16 A mess is gonna fill the whole house.
00:53:18 - That is enough, Rich!
00:53:20 You've been selfish and combative this whole entire time.
00:53:25 Whatever happened to us being co-parents
00:53:27 and working together in this?
00:53:29 - That's before I knew you moved on.
00:53:31 - What does that have to do with anything?
00:53:34 She's divorced, she can be with whomever she wants.
00:53:36 You did it when you were married!
00:53:38 - Well, I guess I don't like the taste of my own medicine.
00:53:41 - Well, hopefully this medicine helps you get it up
00:53:43 like the other one does.
00:53:44 - Well, at least I didn't get knocked up
00:53:47 by the first guy who showed me a little attention.
00:53:49 - You know, if my dad were here,
00:53:55 you wouldn't have even come today.
00:53:57 Do you feel big picking on women when they're vulnerable?
00:54:01 - Look, don't give me that self-righteous feminist bullshit.
00:54:03 If Tom were sitting right there,
00:54:04 I'd say the exact same thing.
00:54:06 - She deserves to be happy
00:54:08 and it is no longer your business that is or isn't rich.
00:54:12 - It is when my kids are involved!
00:54:13 - What do you want, Rich?
00:54:15 - Sorry, Mom and her cramps.
00:54:20 I've been getting them a lot more lately.
00:54:23 - Oh, don't believe that crap.
00:54:26 That's just an act to make her look better.
00:54:28 She's nothing but a hypocritical whore.
00:54:30 - How dare you disrespect my sister in our family home?
00:54:35 - Don't.
00:54:54 (dramatic music)
00:54:57 (slapping)
00:54:59 (slapping)
00:55:01 (clattering)
00:55:04 (slapping)
00:55:07 (sizzling)
00:55:09 (sizzling)
00:55:14 (dramatic music)
00:55:23 (upbeat music)
00:55:30 (dinging)
00:55:32 (clapping)
00:55:36 - Thanks.
00:55:40 (dramatic music)
00:55:59 (smashing)
00:56:01 (crying)
00:56:10 - Look what you've done!
00:56:22 Oh, my God!
00:56:27 (crying)
00:56:29 This was supposed to be a normal day of healing
00:56:40 just to enjoy a family dinner.
00:56:42 But now every single one of you
00:56:45 had to come in here with your snarkiness.
00:56:47 Tincture, breaking rules about boys with a sleep bed,
00:56:52 and my treatment.
00:56:55 (crying)
00:56:57 Franchising around here in exoskeleton
00:56:58 if I can't handle the truth.
00:57:00 And you, you had a white job today.
00:57:06 Be an autopilot and enjoy a beautiful meal with your family.
00:57:11 - I guess I don't do autopilot.
00:57:14 - Then you shouldn't be here.
00:57:16 (crying)
00:57:24 (crying)
00:57:26 - Vera, I am so sorry.
00:57:30 We normally don't behave like animals.
00:57:34 - But I guess no one respects me like they did Tom.
00:57:40 I mean, what do I have to do?
00:57:44 Do I have to, I don't know, be just cold and just rude
00:57:48 where should the, you know, you want to come and visit?
00:57:51 'Cause I can do that.
00:57:53 (crying)
00:57:55 I'm just done.
00:57:59 I don't know what to do.
00:58:02 (crying)
00:58:06 You all figure it out, I'm done.
00:58:17 - What?
00:58:22 - It's not fair, we missed the food fight.
00:58:24 - Kids, go outside for a little bit.
00:58:28 Mom and dad need to talk.
00:58:29 - Please don't fight.
00:58:32 - What was Nemo talking about?
00:58:40 We both went out drinking last night
00:58:43 and we ended up staying the night here.
00:58:48 I don't know what to say.
00:58:52 While I am happy that neither of you drank and drove,
00:58:55 I am so upset that you disrespected Nemo like that.
00:59:00 We all owe her an apology.
00:59:07 - Mom, please open the door.
00:59:16 - Go away!
00:59:18 (crying)
00:59:20 This has been the most emotional, stressful day
00:59:29 in that cruise boat, the day your father died
00:59:31 as well as the funeral.
00:59:33 - Mom, we're so sorry with how we reacted.
00:59:38 Please, can Anna and I come in?
00:59:40 Family meeting.
00:59:46 I can't replace this.
00:59:49 It's like losing him all over again.
00:59:52 - Martha, I'm sorry.
01:00:01 This has all been my fault.
01:00:03 I never should have come back.
01:00:05 Hey, all I've done is cause chaos since I've been here
01:00:09 and for that, I'm truly sorry.
01:00:12 Look, I know I can't replace Tom's plate,
01:00:16 but I wanna do whatever I can to make it right.
01:00:18 - Rich, for the last time, I think you should leave.
01:00:23 We have a lot of working out to do,
01:00:26 but now is not the time, okay?
01:00:28 I'll bring the kids by later on tonight.
01:00:34 - No, they can stay here this weekend, okay?
01:00:38 I mean, I might cheer Martha up.
01:00:40 - Thank you.
01:00:45 - Um, hey, listen, maybe Sunday we can do lunch or something
01:00:50 and if you're comfortable, bring Toby by, if that's okay.
01:00:54 - Okay.
01:00:58 All right.
01:01:02 I'm sorry, guys.
01:01:10 - Meemaw, you deserved a dinner full of memories,
01:01:14 love and laughter.
01:01:16 I know the day started off very stressful
01:01:19 and for that, I'm very sorry.
01:01:22 (phone buzzing)
01:01:25 - Mom?
01:01:51 (door opening)
01:01:53 - I found this while we were looking for the gravy recipe.
01:02:11 I think Dad left it for the next holiday
01:02:16 'cause he knew we'd find it.
01:02:19 - Okay.
01:02:20 Peanut, although I am no longer with you,
01:02:30 please know I am forever with you.
01:02:32 The secret to the gravy is
01:02:36 paprika and a dash of cinnamon.
01:02:42 Ew.
01:02:44 - Ew.
01:02:45 - Ew, that doesn't even go together.
01:02:50 That's probably not even right.
01:02:51 He can still make me laugh.
01:02:56 Oh.
01:02:59 - Wait.
01:03:00 - Oh my gosh.
01:03:04 No, he had me go to the grocery store to pick up paprika.
01:03:09 I thought it was for deviled eggs, but he hates those.
01:03:14 (laughing)
01:03:18 (sighing)
01:03:20 Forgive me, Mother, for I have sinned.
01:03:31 Tell me your troubles, my child.
01:03:34 I'm in love.
01:03:40 Was that so hard to say?
01:03:45 - A little.
01:03:47 (laughing)
01:03:49 - He's 15 years older than me.
01:03:55 He asked me to marry him and move to California.
01:04:01 - Do you love him?
01:04:08 - I do.
01:04:10 - Does it feel right?
01:04:16 - Why, you can say yes and take the leap.
01:04:19 You've played it safe your whole life.
01:04:23 You've sacrificed so much to raise a phenomenal daughter.
01:04:27 I am so proud of you.
01:04:28 - Sounds like the universe is repaying you in kind,
01:04:32 sweetheart.
01:04:33 I promise that I will visit as much as I can.
01:04:42 - Likewise.
01:04:44 (sniffling)
01:04:46 And you, my child, what sins have you to confess?
01:04:53 (laughing)
01:04:55 - Well, Toby and I, we met at an Al-Anon meeting.
01:05:05 His mom's the one newly sober.
01:05:13 (sighing)
01:05:15 Such the opposite of rich.
01:05:22 Oh my gosh, such the opposite of rich.
01:05:24 He treats me like a queen.
01:05:26 He cooks me a home cooked meal when I get home.
01:05:32 Sends me flowers 'cause he's thinking of me.
01:05:36 The kids, the kids, they adore him so much.
01:05:42 And they know he'll be sticking around, huh?
01:05:45 Yeah, he's pretty exciting.
01:05:49 He, I mean, yeah, I'm high risk and all, but.
01:05:52 He's taking good care of me.
01:05:57 Oh, baby.
01:05:59 Pumpkin.
01:06:01 I hate that you girls feel you had to keep this from me.
01:06:10 I mean, I know your father was your secret keeper,
01:06:15 but we've always kept an open mind with you two.
01:06:19 You know, through the mood swings and the bad choices.
01:06:24 You know, I'm a pretty good secret keeper too.
01:06:33 You know, you don't have to just save your confidences
01:06:36 with me through periods and losing your virginity.
01:06:39 (laughing)
01:06:41 I remember this one time that dad figured out
01:06:45 that I had my period.
01:06:47 He opened the tampon wrapper and didn't know what it was for.
01:06:53 He thought it was for nosebleeds.
01:06:58 (laughing)
01:07:01 Oh my gosh, it reminds me of the morning after prom.
01:07:08 We caught Rita chopping the fence.
01:07:10 Oh, I thought you were gonna outrun it back.
01:07:13 (laughing)
01:07:15 I don't know about you two, but I'm still kind of hungry.
01:07:22 Sounds like a good idea.
01:07:29 (soft music)
01:07:33 (soft music)
01:07:35 Let's try this again, shall we?
01:07:42 Dear Lord, thank you for bringing us all together.
01:07:51 Although we have had our ups and downs,
01:07:56 we are stronger together.
01:07:59 Thank you for the added blessing of Trish's new arrival
01:08:04 and the added happiness of Ann's new partner.
01:08:10 Thank you for bringing Chad to us to teach me
01:08:16 that cauliflower can actually be as tasty as steak.
01:08:21 Yet I'll believe it when I see it,
01:08:22 when he hopefully prepares it for me this weekend.
01:08:27 Thank you for my strong and silly grandchildren
01:08:31 who remind me that I'm actually still young at heart.
01:08:37 Most of all, Lord, thank you for continuing to be with us
01:08:49 as we continue with the grieving process.
01:08:57 In your mighty name we pray, amen.
01:09:00 - I would like to propose a toast to the Winthrop family.
01:09:07 We adapt, we overcome,
01:09:11 and we always come out stronger than before.
01:09:13 - To family.
01:09:16 - To family.
01:09:18 (laughing)
01:09:26 - Pop-Pop would tell us a story.
01:09:29 Mila, can you tell us a story?
01:09:31 - Oh, one story I can think of right off the bat is,
01:09:36 it was me and Pop-Pop's first Thanksgiving
01:09:41 after we got married.
01:09:42 I was pregnant with Aunt Anna, but no one knew it yet.
01:09:48 We were hosting both of our parents
01:09:52 and all of our siblings in our little house.
01:09:55 (sighing)
01:09:56 Because I was so sick with the morning sickness,
01:09:59 Pop-Pop cooked the meal.
01:10:01 So naturally, some of it was overcooked
01:10:04 and some of it was undercooked.
01:10:06 When I finally burst out crying over the burnt turkey,
01:10:12 I told everyone we were expecting.
01:10:14 They were so happy for us.
01:10:17 They didn't care that the meal was crap.
01:10:22 We ended up ordering Chinese and spent the afternoon
01:10:25 talking about how beautiful,
01:10:27 how beautiful our lives were going to be.
01:10:33 You know, things don't always turn out perfectly,
01:10:42 but today was a perfect reminder of that.
01:10:46 I'm starving.
01:10:52 (clearing throat)
01:10:55 - So Christmas should be less dramatic, right?
01:11:01 - You know, maybe next year we can try something different.
01:11:05 Go to the beach or the movies, get on a boat.
01:11:09 - That sounds nice.
01:11:10 And we don't have to go all out
01:11:11 with the fine china and the buffet.
01:11:14 We could make our own pizzas and watch movies in Pajamas.
01:11:17 - Oh, I like that.
01:11:18 Chad, you'll be joining us, right?
01:11:20 I hear you are an excellent baker.
01:11:22 - Yeah, yeah, I'd love to.
01:11:25 I have a vegan recipe for a pizza crust
01:11:30 that will definitely crisp up very nicely.
01:11:32 So I'm definitely up for it, yeah.
01:11:34 - Sounds interesting.
01:11:36 - I'm sure you'll love it, don't worry about it.
01:11:38 - And we'll just need to put these back
01:11:39 in the refrigerator over there.
01:11:40 - Speaking of crisps.
01:11:42 - Thank you, my dear.
01:11:45 Happy Thanksgiving.
01:11:46 - Happy Thanksgiving.
