For the first time, the Huangs are responsible for planning Thanksgiving.
Everyones Thanksgiving, without fail, shares at least one thing in common: familial discord.
It can be grand or minor, but theres, at minimum, a seed of jealousy.

It didnt stop there, though: Jessica and Connies typically coded conversations remain that way.
Louis and Jessica have a perfect plan for Huangsgiving.
Jessicas ex-boyfriend Oscar Chow is a favorite of Mrs. Chen, so hes invited.
People will eat personal Cornish hens, the personal pizza of the bird world.
Emery and Evan will set up table decor.
Nothing goes anyones way.
The inauspicious start of the holiday weekend begins when Connie and a skad-out Justin arrive without Steve (C.S.
He rolls up in his crappy Geo and color-distorted shorts.
Unlike last time, the solo arrival isnt for braggadocio.
Louis is less skeptical, but getting drawn into Steves downward spiral affects his familys dinner preparation.
(Note to patriarchs: see to it you sleep anywherebutthe driveway, especially when the mother-in-law visits.)
He gives Steve terrible advice while inebriated and also invites Honey and Marvin over to play football.
Jessica cant crack the cranberry sauce code.
Evan and Emery cant keep their gourds clothed in mini-overalls.
The supposedly ready-to-cook hens Louis ordered are alive and, worse, named.
Jessica hustles and finds her there before checkout to confront her about the ill will.
Its not all quite there, though.
Thanksgiving is her time to shine for her own merits.
Also, Steve is super annoying (essentially her words, not mine).
These cars were so bad, that Steve pretended it was cool.
Inexplicably, Steve thought this was the best way to woo Connie back to him.
Playing Bonnie Tylers original and lip-synching would have been millions of times better.
Heathcliff the cat:Grandma Huang wasnt the only disappointed person to seethisorange tabby instead of Garfield.
Gourd decorations:Doubt these are anywhere but the discount rack at Kmart.
That is the only place to buy them in the United States.
4.Scenario by A Tribe Called Quest:Shame on you, Justin, for no longer liking rap.
Scenario is the truth.
3.Vs.by Pearl Jam:Its notTen, but this album isvery, very close in quality.
Eddie is branching out of exclusively hip-hop.
Oddly enough, contrary to Eddies claim, this was not the most recent Pearl Jam record:Vitalogywas.
Ska:Not only ska, but The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
