Greg and Dharma experience a physical downside to being on good terms with both families: their parent pairs each insist on hosting Thanksgiving parties. Abby tearfully 'murders' a turkey and Kitty actually cooks- so badly even she can barely recognize the courses. As if that weren't enough assault on their digestion, Dharma volunteered both of them for a homeless shelter's turkey dinner, and 'almost her own son' Greg couldn't deny popping in at Montgomery maid Celia's first Thanksgiving with her recently immigrated parents.—KGF Vissers

In an attempt to make Thanksgiving more enjoyable than last year's debacle (which we see in flashbacks where Kitty was assaulting Larry on the dinner table and everybody was yelling at each other at the top of their lungs), Dharma and Greg devise a plan to entirely avoid their families. They decide to tell their families about their decision at a public restaurant, so that there would no ugly scenes. They announce that they will be having separate Thanksgiving and that they will be volunteering at the senior center. Kitty says that the last Thanksgiving well very well. Edward says that they are all getting together now. But then the parents start bickering again when Kitty and Edward say that Larry and Abby ruined the previous Thanksgiving when they came dressed as Native Americans. Dharma also takes the opportunity to tell Greg that she took a naked picture of him in the shower and left it at Jane's. Jane took the picture and posted it on the internet.

When it becomes clear how much this has hurt everyone, Dharma and Greg decide to respect everyone's feelings. First, they agree to go to Larry and Abby's, as Abby had brought a pumpkin grown out of the pie that Dharma vomited back when she was 4 years old. Abby had memories related to that incident and every year they would bake a pie made from the pumpkin that was a direct descendant of the pumpkin seed that Dharma barfed when she was 4 years old. Since this year Dharma is doing her own thing, Abby brought her the pumpkin, so she could bake her own pie. Greg realizes how much thanksgiving means to her. Celia invites Greg and Dharma to meet her mother who is visiting USA for the first time. Celia says that she has been telling her mother about Greg for many years now. Edward overhears this and now they have to attend Kitty and Edward too. Meanwhile Dharma accepted an invite from Pete and Jane.

The pair wind up more stuffed than any turkey after eating five Thanksgiving dinners: their own (They start with a big breakfast as they didn't think they would get any food all day), next at Pete and Jane (Pete lost a mob case who sponsored his entire Thanksgiving dinner. The food is incredible forcing Dharma and Greg to sit down and have a proper meal), one barely cooked by Kitty (She never cooks and hence Dharma and Greg have to eat), another with Abby and Larry (Abby is distraught to have killed a turkey so that Dharma and Greg can have a traditional dinner, and hence they can't refuse. Abby is inconsolable as she believes that the Turkey had children), One at the senior shelter where an elderly, senile woman mistakes Dharma and Greg for her children, who had abandoned her. She insists that her kids (Dharma and Greg) have a meal with her and Dharma cannot say no, and a last one with Celia's (Lillian Hurst) family.

Celia's family gets into an argument which is exactly how it was with Dharma and Greg's family last year.
