At Emma's, Jack explains to his aunt that he's going to visit Delores who has some "emergency". Brad thinks it's odd she didn't mention it when he talked to her just the other day. Jack scoffs that she's probably upset he's making her a grandmother again.

In the kitchen, Carly corners Katie and tries pinning her down on specifics---when she's due, how far along she is. Katie worriedly fidgets, asking Carly how she knows. Carly coyly replies she just heard it through the grapevine. Katie counters that she hasn't even had her first appointment, and doesn't have a firm due date yet. But Carly will be the first to know, Katie hesitantly smirks. Katie wonders out loud why Carly's interested in the first place; they're hardly friends.

Feigning offense, Carly reminds her how they became friends in Montana after Sage's birth. Maybe this baby could repair the friendship. It could even bring Jack and Brad closer, since Brad is excited about being a father, and Jack would love being an uncle. Katie reddens, seeing how the lie is already spiraling out of her control.

Outside, Lily protests with Jade over the phone. She pleads for her niece to come eat with her family. Jade insists that she has to work and plus, being around all the Snyders always makes her head spin. Almost all of them either hate her or have made their own judgment of her. Finally, Lily relents and tells Jade to come by later so they can talk more about Colin. She turns around and enters the house, only for Emma to ask where Luke and Kevin are.

Before Carly can dig any further, Jack interrupts. Katie scurries off, leaving them alone. Seeing the glimmer in her eyes, Jack asks Carly what she's up to with Katie. Carly tells him it's not important. She then asks if he can put off visiting his mother. It won't seem like Thanksgiving for the kids if he's not there. Jack can't cancel his plans, but he was hoping to hear she'd miss him too. Disappointed when Carly stands there mute, he heads up the back stairs to pack. While he's distracted, Carly surprises him with a kiss on the cheek, wishes him a safe flight, and urges him to hurry back to Oakdale.

On his way down, Jack thanks Emma for understanding. Jack glares down Clark before finally walking out. When the kids arrive, Carly informs them that Jack had to go out of town for a little while. Sage whines that they're never going to be a family again. Carly kisses her on the cheek and assures her that they'll always have each other, no matter what.

After settling the kids, Carly calls Rosanna and invites her sister over for some turkey and dressing. Rosanna's much too depressed to be thinking about food; she needs to find her son, she huffs. Carly insists she at least get a to-go plate. After a while, Rosanna shows up and is surprised that Jack isn't there. Carly mutters that he went to see Delores, but should be back soon. Carly apologizes for telling Rosanna she should give up on the search for Cabot. She just knows how James likes playing mind games with her and even from the grave, she can see him giving Rosanna false hope about Cabot being out there somewhere just for a jolly laugh. Rosanna admits that she had her doubts, too, but her maternal instincts have kicked into overdrive lately. She knows she's getting close. Later, Rosanna meets with Neil and informs him that she'd like to try and get into contact with the Kathy woman from Arizona. She knows the woman knows more than she's letting on; she knows she is.

Across town, Aaron and Alison scurry off to Emma's, neglecting to see Luke and Kevin pulling up to Java behind them as they leave. Inside, Jade thanks them for coming and tells them that Colin should be here any moment. Luke, looking for the fake diamond he picked up from Faith's room, can't find it anywhere and soon panics. The plan will never work now, he grimaces.

It's soon time to set the table for dinner at the Snyders. All gather around and say grace before finally digging into the feast set before them. The screen door creaks and Sage springs up, hoping it's her dad. Instead, a smooth voice smiles, "Am I too late for the cutting of the Hubbard squash?" Everyone's floored to look and see Meg standing before them.
