We cut to Sebastian all alone. His mother has cancelled. SEE?!?!?! Just like Kelly Taylor!!

Looks like we have a Kelly Taylor situation on our hands

He gets a phone call from Super Vixen Donna LaDonna wanting to meet him. He leaves his house with a bottle of scotch. Uh oh… another Dylan McKay moment???

Back at Walt’s homosexual love dungeon- ooops, I mean Walt’s parent’s house, Mags helps to clear the table. She tells Walt she is “sick of you not being able to stick up to your parents!” Walt plans to go to NYU, not Dartmouth. Mags tells Walt that her plan to follow Walt to college really wasn’t that much of a joke. Mags realizes she needs to think about her future but she isn’t afraid to her herself, unlike Walt.

Mags returns home and she asks her brother if he always knew he wanted to be a cop?

This relationship is headed in the right direction…

She also asks if there is any money for her to go to college? (No, there isn’t.) The Brother advises Mags to just marry Walt.

Carrie really thinks her perfect Thanksgiving is going to happen. Delusional. The Dorrit thinks she’s a jerk and storms out. Carrie finds her in the back yard sparking a doobie.  

Hey!  I’m here to kill your buzz!!!

Carrie is appalled and thinks The Dorrit is trying to ruin Thanksgiving and she also thinks The Dorrit ruined Mom’s recipes and hid Mom’s cookbooks AND she’s going to tell Dad that The Dorrit is a pothead. Sheesh. The Dorrit thinks Carrie is trying to be Mom!! Carrie tries to explain that she is trying to honor her Mom’s memory by making it a nice day… and The Dorrit is torturing her. The Dorrit thinks that proceeding with Thanksgiving without Mom is torture.

Perhaps we can just land on: Thanksgiving is torture. ???

The Dorrit storms back inside and into her room to finish smoking her blunt. Carrie and she fight through the door and George catches her yelling at The Dorrit. Carrie tries to cover by saying they all get along perfectly. Mouse- the cock block appears and tells them that Harlan just referred to her as “The Oriental Maid,” Carrie needs to get back to the kitchen.

Who you calling “Oriental Maid?!!?”

And… the turkey is ON FIRE. The oven breaks, fuses blow, likes flicker- very dramatic.

Flaming Turkey

Carrie, in turn, has a total meltdown that she has done EVERYTHING, and she’s trying to be like Mom and no one has noticed and the turkey is ruined. Strangely, not unlike my Thanksgiving meltdown 2 years ago. Apparently, it doesn’t take a flaming turkey to the head to jolt Dad back to reality- he realizes that he should be taking care of his kids and not watching the game. Don’t worry Dad, it’s genetic.

    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!
