Harlan and George arrive and Carrie while greeting them notices the Shaun Cassidy portrait has made its way to the hall table. Haha, I love that Dorrit. She LOVES to see Carrie uncomfortable. Carrie is all like- nice try and The Dorrit feigns ignorance.

Over at Walt’s house, it’s very uptight. Apparently, Walt’s family expects him to go to Dartmouth and they want to know where Mags is looking to go? Mags has no clue- probably somewhere close to Walt. Oddly, Mags doesn’t feel at home with these “people.”

Carrie takes George on a tour of the house and they immediately go up to Carrie’s bedroom and begin making out.

Horny Horny 

The Dorrit is on it though, she starts banging on the door telling Carrie that Mouse needs her in the kitchen PRONTO. The Dorrit tells Carrie not to worry because she will be happy to keep George company.

In the kitchen, Mouse and Carrie need to pull out the innards- the neck and giblets, etc. But it’s a struggle. Carrie puts on a glove… a winter glove to grab the innards, throws them in the garbage, only to learn two seconds later that they need those to make the gravy.

Turkey Gynecology

Meanwhile, back with The Dorrit, George tells her that he gets her schtick. The Dorrit is confused. George says “You have a pet fish named Morrissey and wears black all the time to be cool.” George tells her it’s a “phase” or at least that’s what his shrink would call it. The Dorrit thinks it’s pretty cool that George has a shrink, and by the way, it’s a hamster not a fish. Carrie comes in and tells George that he doesn’t have to hang out with The Dorrit, but George thinks The Dorrit is cool. Again, Mouse beckons Carrie back to the kitchen.

Carrie is mad that George is getting along with The Dorrit. She is sucking up to him and will then tell him something embarrassing about her. Earth to Carrie, you are taking care of the embarrassing part all on your own.

This turkey needs Slim Fast

Mouse is like… shut up- the turkey won’t fit in the oven- it’s in there, but the door won’t close. Mouse wonders why Carrie bought a 75lb turkey for 5 people. Carrie didn’t realize they came in different sizes. See what I mean, Carrie doesn’t need The Dorrit’s help to look like a moron.

Carrie, somehow, jams the turkey into the oven- getting the door to close and sets the oven to broil because it will “cook twice as fast.” Sure. Or the whole shebang will catch on fire. Oh good, now that’s solved, Carrie and Mouse need to figure out the rest of this shit show.

In the living room, Harlan tells Carrie’s Dad that he’s grateful he doesn’t have a wife. Nice timing, jackhole. Dad says he still has things to be thankful for- Carrie is cooking dinner, The Dorrit hasn’t blown anything up yet… and he can sit on the couch and watch the game.

    my gripe about this whole shebang is in regard to the recipe cards – who writes with a felt-tipped pen???

    I’m confused by the two Mr. Bigs.

    What is it with Thanksgiving? We had 4 sudden deaths in my family in a 15 year span, all during the month of November. I finally declared my entire life to be a Thanksgiving-free zone because it was simultaneously too depressing and too stressful. .I stay home, wear pajamas and eat ice cream out of the carton.
    I am Thankful for Ben & Jerry’s.
    @Clair, actually my home ec teacher in high school used a Sharpie-type pen to write recipe cards.

    @MisRed, I was also 8 in 1983 and couldn’t have told you who Shaun Cassidy was. However my friend who is 8 years older than me(us) had a Shaun Cassidy pillowcase that she slept on until college. I guess he had some hardcore fans?

    @Clair- Good point.
    @Labowner- I have a feeling we will have multiple Mr. Bigs an Aidan or two and god only knows what else…
    @TurtleGirl93- I was 8 in 1978 #misredisancient. Shaun Cassidy had a fast rise and as fast fade, so I’m not surprised the only reference you had was The Shaun Cassidy pillowcase. Sadly, I believe my sister had one too- but I think it was homemade!!!

    does ANYONE like thanksgiving? it seriously sucks. i’ve only lived in the u.s. since i was 12, and was happy we didn’t do thanksgiving … until i was about 17, when my parents decided to throw in the towel and do it since everyone else was and there was nothing else to do. i beg to differ, though. watching horror movies and eating take-out is better than the usual disaster and stress-fest thanksgiving is. why, parents, couldn’t you spare me until i started dating an american-born dude whom i am now married to, and thus am forever stuck with this holiday?

    carrie is so annoying, always trying to tell on dorrit for things. and i’m the OLDER sister, whom i think is usually the one supposed to be trying to get her sister in trouble, but it was the opposite in my family. my sister was the rat and i still hate tattlers. on the other hand, is dad smell-blind? because not only would you be able to smell it on her clothes and hair after she smoked outside, but then she brought it INSIDE. my parents would complain about me burning INCENSE. with the windows open.

    i have no idea who shaun cassidy is, but based on your description of his popularity having peaked in the 1970s, i think maybe that was the point — she was an even bigger loser for still having an autographed picture of her childhood idol. it’s like if some little kid is in love with justin bieber right now and when they’re 15 in 8 years they still have their framed, autographed picture in their room. at least that’s what i’m assuming was going on.

    Shaun Cassidy is now behind the scenes. He basically discovered Heath Ledger in the show he created, ROAR. He is a writer and producer, now. :)

    Again, I really want to like this show, but I just don’t. I know its TV, and a certain amount of disbelief must be suspended, but its just too much. I think a cancellation is coming!
