You know this is going to be a good episode, because it starts with Javier. Felicity and Javier are talking at Dean & Deluca. Javier recounts a conversation he had with his mother, during which he told her, "If Nono's going to be there for Thanksgiving, count me out." Felicity encourages him, and Javier adds that his mother told him she would clear out a space for Nono by the garbage. Felicity looks confused and asks whether Nono is a dog. Javier gets distracted by something a worker is doing wrong, and walks off without answering. Felicity stares after him, confused.
As Felicity continues to watch Javier, FVO begins a letter to Sally. FVO had Thanksgiving all figured out -- Thursday would be the big dinner, Friday night she would go to see her Uncle Harvey, and try to put up with her parents all weekend with as much grace as possible. Ah, Thanksgiving during your first year of college. The weekend that everyone breaks up with his or her hometown sweetie. Then, over the winter break, they all get back together. Then break up again before Valentine's Day. It's a tradition. Anyway, FVO says that her life never goes as planned. Whose does?
Julie walks up to the counter and says hello. With a sad face, like, "Sorry about the Krakow situation," Felicity asks how Julie's doing. Julie chuckles and says that everyone keeps asking her that; she tells Felicity that she only needs to ask whether Julie is about to burst into tears. Julie places an order, and then comments that it's weird to order from Felicity, who adds that it'll be even weirder when Julie has to give her a tip. Felicity asks Julie whether she's started packing yet, and Julie confesses that she's staying at school. Julie rambles off a bunch of reasons why she's staying, but Felicity thinks that she'll get lonely. Julie points out that Knoll will be there, and that she talked to Knoll earlier, and found out that Hannah is coming, too. Felicity is in the process of steaming the milk when Julie drops that bomb, and Felicity nearly loses control of the cup. Felicity tries to ask about Hannah in a nonchalant way. Julie says that Hannah isn't coming until after everyone else leaves, and promises to give Felicity "a full report." Felicity hands Julie her drink without saying a word.
Knoll is leaving his dorm room, and backs right into that guy who played Gerhardt in 28 Days. At least it looks like that guy, but it's not listed on his IMDb page. Regardless, he is playing a weirdo character named Lewis, one of Knoll's advisees, and he came to say goodbye to Knoll. After making a dramatic speech about leaving the dorms, Lewis gives Knoll a big hug. Knoll awkwardly pats Lewis's back, and then says that he'll see Lewis in five days.
Knoll knocks and enters Felicity's room. Felicity is trying to stuff her entire wardrobe into a suitcase. Knoll reminds Felicity that he promised to "babysit a plant" while she's gone. It's an avocado in a glass of water. Felicity promises that it will turn into a huge plant. I don't know. My old roommate used to try that all the time, and it always just stayed an avocado in a glass of water. Felicity also gives Knoll back his Magic 8-Ball, which is probably supposed to be ™ or ® or something. Knoll asks the 8-Ball whether Felicity is excited to go home. Felicity predicts that it will say "outlook good," but it says, "It is decidedly so." Knoll and Felicity argue over whether "outlook good" is even an option. To prove her point (and for a myriad other reasons, most of them passive-aggressive), Felicity asks the 8-Ball whether Knoll's girlfriend is coming to New York. Knoll starts to explain that it was "a last-minute thing." Felicity says that Knoll can talk to her about Hannah. Knoll checks the 8-Ball and reports that his sources say no. Felicity says that they are friends, and Knoll responds, "It is decidedly so." They milked that Magic 8-Ball thing about four minutes too long.
Ben is looking for something under the couch in his apartment. Sean walks in with shaving cream on his face and asks where Ben's razor is. Ben replies that he packed it earlier, because it's his razor, and then asks whether Sean has seen his Palo Alto shirt. Sean advises him to "check Richard's room, [because] that guy's got sticky fingers." Wait, is that Richard Richard? He lives with Ben and Sean? Must be a different Richard, because the one we know lives on Knoll's floor, and causes Knoll no end of angst later this season. How annoying that they reused the name, though. Sean sits down and starts reading a magazine, the shaving cream still on his face. Sean asks Ben whether he's excited to get back to "sunny California." Ben says that it'll be good to see his parents, even though he confessed last week that he pretty much hates his father. Sean says that he's going to some "amazing" family party at his brother's house. Who has "amazing" family parties? I mean, there are okay family parties and deadly boring family parties. I love my family and all, but I wouldn't call our get-togethers "amazing." Ben pauses and says, "You've been using my razor this whole time?" Sean replies, "And your deodorant, too. Is that a problem?" How could I not foresee Sean and Meghan getting together? They both have an amazing sense of entitlement and they're terrible roommates.
Felicity passes Elena in the dorm hallway and asks whether Elena's seen Knoll. Elena hasn't. Felicity sees that Elena is carrying some huge baggage (literally and figuratively) and asks whether Elena's really taking all of her books home. Elena says that she needs all the distraction that she can get. After some more chit-chat, Elena wishes Felicity a happy Thanksgiving; Felicity returns the wish, and also tells Elena to have fun with her dad. After Felicity walks off, Elena says under her breath, "That would be a first." You see what they did there? They set you up for Elena not getting along with her dad. Just making sure that you're paying attention.
Felicity knocks and enters Julie's room. Julie is lying completely under the covers and claims that she went home, she's not there, and that Felicity should go away. Felicity, buttinsky as always, sits down on Julie's bed and asks whether she's okay. Julie claims that she's really okay, but that she's not sure what to say to her parents about what's happened. Felicity says that she's trying to say the right thing, but Julie interrupts her by saying that she's not all screwed up, but she thinks Felicity may have been right about the lonely thing. Sure, Knoll will be there, but it won't be like having Felicity there.
Felicity talks into her tape recorder while silhouetted against the gigantic dorm room window. Felicity tells Sally that she called her parents and told them she was staying for a friend in need.
By the elevator, Felicity and Julie discuss their Thanksgiving plans. When the elevator arrives, Hannah and Knoll step out. ["Hannah is played by Jennifer Garner, formerly of Time of Your Life and now of Alias; she's also the real-life Mrs. Knoll now, though she wasn't then." -- Wing Chun] Hannah steams ahead without looking up, but Knoll stops and stammers an introduction between Hannah and Julie. Julie shakes Hannah's hand and welcomes her to New York. When it comes time for Felicity's introduction, Knoll forgets Felicity's name. Felicity fills in her name and also shakes Hannah's hand. Knoll tells Hannah that Felicity is from California, and Felicity remarks that Hannah really doesn't care, but in a way that makes it sound like she's teaming up with Hannah to make fun of Knoll. Which is what everyone does when they meet a friend or family member's significant other, because that's what you have in common. I remember introducing J-Dawg to my parents and they spent a good twenty minutes listing all my faults while I smiled. Not that I'm bitter about it, since it was nearly eight years ago. Oh, that's right -- this isn't about me. Sorry. Hannah asks Knoll whether he ate beets, and explains to the girls that Knoll gets a hyper reaction when he eats beets. Watching the first season really makes me appreciate the continuity on this show. Knoll gives Hannah a look like, "Stop talking shit about me in front of my advisees." Knoll refers to Julie and Felicity as "a couple of kids from the dorm," and Felicity looks upset. Julie and Hannah discuss Hannah's travel arrangements, which resulted in Hannah's arriving a day earlier than planned. Knoll drops one of Hannah's bags, and a bunch of sheet music drops out. Felicity and Julie help Hannah to pick them up, and Julie asks Hannah about the music. Hannah reveals that she composes music. Knoll asks when Julie and Felicity are leaving. Wait, didn't Julie already tell Knoll that she was staying, as evidenced by her conversation with Felicity in the opening scene? Maybe we're supposed to think that Knoll is flustered and forgot. The girls reveal that they'll both be staying in the dorm for Thanksgiving. Knoll calls this tidbit "fantastic," when he really means "the worst possible position I could be in right now." Felicity gives Knoll a strange look. Hannah points out that Knoll is sweating, and Knoll blames it on all the bags he is carrying. Felicity makes a comment about getting her plant back, and Knoll totally over-explains the situation to Hannah to try to make it look completely innocent, which it was, but only succeeds in making himself look guiltier. Hannah asks Knoll again whether he had some beets. Knoll replies, "Might have had some beets." They take off for Knoll's room. Julie and Felicity get into the elevator, and Julie comments that Hannah is nice. Felicity shoots Julie an evil glare and doesn't say anything in response.
Knoll and Hannah make out on Knoll's bed, pulling off their clothes. Once they get prone, things slow down. They break apart, and Knoll asks Hannah whether she's hungry. Hannah says that she is, and they both get up to get dressed.
Julie and Felicity are returning to their dorm with groceries. Felicity spots Ben and calls out to him. Felicity wonders why Ben is still there. By way of explanation, Ben tells her that there was a problem with his plane ticket. Julie tells Ben that they are staying in the dorm, and invites Ben to join them if he's still around. Ben says that he's definitely going to Palo Alto. Felicity and Julie say goodbye and get on the elevator.
Elena sits in her father's house and listens to her father explain his new satellite TV system. He got a deal because there's a dent on the side. Also, it constantly jumps to the India channel. Elena tells her dad that she got the second highest grade in the class on her Inorganic Chemistry midterm, and pulls out the test to show him. Her father perfunctorily looks it over, says that it's "really something," and turns his attention back to the television. It's like trying to interrupt my father when he's watching the sports. I kid you not -- he has, at times, had as many as three televisions in the living room, all playing different games. No need to wonder where I got my television-watching habits. Elena asks her father to go to the store with her. Elena's dad says that they've been invited to someone's house. Elena is disappointed, because she thought it would just be the two of them. Her father has found a Spanish-language program on TV, and asks Elena whether she remembers any Spanish from high school. Elena points out that she took French in high school. Her father continues to ignore her, so Elena leaves the room.
Knoll and Hannah eat in a diner. Hannah announces that she has big news; she's been accepted into the New York Conservatory. Knoll is surprised, since he didn't even know that she was applying. Hannah says that she didn't think she'd get in, but that she decided to apply after Knoll said that things would be better if they were together. Knoll gulps down some more coffee, but doesn't respond, so Hannah asks him whether he's happy. Knoll says that he's just "catching up," and asks what it means. Hannah explains that she could transfer to New York semester. Knoll claims to be excited, but Hannah points out that he's "doing the thing," and that his hand is on his forehead. Knoll claims that he's "wildly enthusiastic," and Hannah says that it means he's stressed out. Knoll keeps trying to pretend that he's happy, but Hannah reminds him that he has "RA stuff to do." Knoll says that he's going back to his room, and invites Hannah along. She demurs, saying that she's going to stay in the diner, drink coffee, and read the paper. How pathetic is Knoll that his girlfriend, who hasn't seen him in months, would rather sit in a diner alone than spend time with him? Knoll leaves.
Felicity walks determinedly down to Knoll's room and knocks. When there's no answer, she slaps a Post-It on the door that says, "Give me back my pit!"
Ben calls his mom to tell her that his ticket got messed up. His mom apparently says that she forgot he was coming home, and Ben pretends that doesn't hurt his feelings. Sean enters, and Ben gets off the phone. Sean tosses Ben a candy bar and tells Ben to eat as many as he possibly can, in order to expand his stomach capacity so that he can eat more turkey at Thanksgiving. Ben laughs. Sean asks when Ben is leaving. Ben reveals that he's actually staying, and probably going over to Felicity's and Julie's dorm. Sean half-assedly invites Ben to his brother's party. Sean offers Ben another candy bar, and leaves.
Felicity sits on a couch, playing with her hair. Julie leafs through the Yellow Pages and babbles about there being a "free-range turkey shortage of epic proportions." Felicity, self-absorbed as always in the first season, says that Knoll is definitely acting weird. Julie claims that Knoll and Hannah are "readjusting," and that Knoll is probably just feeling overwhelmed. Felicity says that it felt strange not to be able to go to Knoll's room and have him answer the door, happy to see her. I think that Felicity doesn't like Knoll; she likes the positive attention that he gives her. Julie suggests that Felicity wait until Hannah leaves, and then brings the conversation back to turkey. Felicity brings it back to Knoll, so Julie throws down the phone book. Felicity agrees to set up the dinner while Julie shops for turkeys. They're buying the turkey the same day they plan on eating it? Yeah, that'll work out. Do they understand how long it takes to cook a turkey? Clearly not.
Felicity washes her face in the bathroom, and when she stands up, Hannah is standing to her. Hannah asks to borrow Felicity's moisturizer, and Felicity hands it to her. Hannah looks at the tube and notices that it's "zit cream." Felicity claims that her roommates must have left it, and hands Hannah the proper tube. Hannah starts saying that men are unbelievable, because they panic when you call them on things that they said. Felicity, brushing her teeth, asks whether Hannah is talking about Knoll. Hannah reveals that she and Knoll have been talking about her moving to New York, and that Knoll has been acting weird about it. This causes Felicity to stop brushing her teeth momentarily, but she soon resumes and comments that Knoll has been acting weird lately. Felicity talks around her toothpaste, saying that Knoll is probably just "readjusting." Hannah can't understand her, so Felicity spits out the toothpaste and repeats herself. Hannah says that she doesn't want to fight all the time. Felicity tells Hannah that Knoll talks about her all the time. Hannah gives Felicity a tight smile and thanks her for saying that. Felicity leaves.
As some testicle (tm Sars) plays on the soundtrack, Felicity tosses and turns in bed. She finally gets up and starts walking down the hall toward Knoll's room. She thinks better of it, and turns and heads back to her own room. The elevator doors open, causing Felicity to turn and look. Knoll is standing in the elevator. Felicity stares at him, and then walks into her room. After standing there a moment, she peeks back out in time to see Knoll going into his room. Felicity closes her door.
In Knoll's room, Knoll gets into bed with Hannah. Hannah says hello, so Knoll whispers that he was thinking that Hannah's moving to New York is a great idea. Hannah smiles, so Knoll says that he wants her to move to New York. They mack. Fade to black. Hey, that rhymed!
The camera pans over assorted foodstuffs on a table. Felicity is pulling things out of the grocery bags. Julie arrives, holding a bag. Felicity asks how it went. Julie says that she ended up buying something in Chinatown, and that the guy told her that it was a turkey. Felicity peers into the bag and recoils in disgust. Julie asks what Felicity thinks, and Felicity replies, "I think that it's got fur!" Julie thought they were feathers. Knoll and Hannah walk out of Knoll's room half-dressed. Hannah asks whether they're cooking, and Julie invites her to join them. Hannah says that she's a terrible cook, and wouldn't be much help. Julie invites both of them to dinner. Hannah says that Knoll has made secret plans. Knoll reveals that they have reservations at Ye Waverly. Hannah thinks that dinner with the girls could be more fun, but Knoll isn't budging. Hannah thanks Julie for the invitation and walks off. Knoll stands there for a beat, and then follows her. Felicity watches Knoll go, and then comments that Knoll is a jerk. Julie points out again that Knoll is readjusting. Julie asks what they are going to do about "the turkey problem," and Felicity gives Julie a look like, "I have a brilliant plan involving Javier."
Cut to Javier at Dean & Deluca, talking to Felicity and Julie. Javier informs Felicity that Nono is back in the house, and then asks what advice they need. Javier offers to write down his advice, and then launches into a hilarious Javier rendition of turkey-cooking instructions, referring to the giblets as "little gifts," and using an oiled brown paper bag and tap water. Julie confesses that they don't have an oven, and Felicity adds that they don't have a turkey. Felicity explains that they were hoping that Javier could use his food connections to get a free-range turkey. Javier says that he ordered his two months ago. Julie suggests that Javier eat dinner with them, and bring a turkey, and that they'll do everything else. Felicity gives Julie a glare, and Julie claims that she was just kidding. Javier asks what time he should be there. Felicity tells him that he doesn't have to do it, but Javier says that he's curious.
Back to Elena's dad's house. Elena's dad walks in the door with a grocery bag. Elena, who appears to be packing a bag, asks where he was all day. Her dad makes some excuses, and then asks what Elena is doing. Elena says that she's going back to her dorm because she has work to do. Her dad thinks she must be going after dinner, but Elena was planning on leaving right away. Elena's dad reminds her of their plans. Elena thinks that no one will notice if she's not there, and says that she came home to see her father, but that he hasn't been around at all. Elena's dad points out that she goes to school thirty minutes away, and hasn't been home to see him once. Elena points out that "the trains go both ways," and that her dad hasn't come to visit her either. Elena's dad has no comeback for that one, so Elena gives him a kiss and leaves.
Hannah uses Knoll's computer to search online for an apartment. She makes some disparaging remark about his modem speed, and then informs Knoll that she got a new computer. Knoll hopes that it's not an iMac, because he'll be jealous. Hannah says that it's actually a PC. Knoll looks at Hannah like she killed his mother, and says that he can't believe that she bought a PC. Without getting into the whole PC vs. Mac debate, let me just say that I find it really annoying when people on either side can't possibly see that the other system might have some good points, and that in my experience, it's the Mac people who are the most zealous. Knoll is upset that Hannah isn't a Mac person anymore, so that's probably the excuse he'll use when he breaks up with her. Hannah scans the apartment listings, and asks Knoll what he thinks of TriBeCa. Knoll asks the Magic 8-Ball (and I thought we were done with that), and gets "outlook good." Remember? That's the response that Felicity got and Knoll claimed didn't exist? So now he's all thinking about Felicity instead of looking for an apartment with Hannah. Felicity is probably a Mac person. Actually, I know that she is, because I remember all the product-placed iMacs in the second season. Hannah asks Knoll for help, and asks him to put down the toy. Knoll says that he's trying to make it fun, and Hannah retorts that she's just trying to find a place to live. They clearly don't like each other. Just break up already!
In his weirdly sunlit apartment, Sean asks Ben whether that's what he's wearing to the party. Ben looks at his t-shirt and jeans and replies in the affirmative. Sean tells Ben that people usually get a little more dressed up, and claims that he was just about to get changed himself. Sean makes a suggestion of something Ben could wear, and Ben agrees to change. But first, he leaves the apartment. Aren't they supposed to leave soon?
Julie and Felicity work on their meal. Julie rushes to the microwave and pulls out some unidentifiable object that she calls sweet potatoes, but it looked more like a loaf of bread to me. She's disappointed in the outcome, and sits down on the couch to pout. Felicity asks what Julie is really upset about. Julie says that part of her wants her parents to walk in, put their arms around her, and not say anything. Felicity sits down on the couch. Julie adds that if she told them about Krakow, her parents would never look at her the same way again. Felicity and Julie mull that over. Julie says that she might tell them at Christmas, and Felicity advises her to tell them when she's ready. The friends share a look, and Hannah walks in, commenting that the food smells great. Hannah says that she's going to the store and asks whether they need anything. They don't, and Hannah leaves. The girls get back to work as Knoll walks into the room. Knoll tells Felicity that he saw "outlook good." Felicity pretty much ignores him, talking to Julie about washing dishes. Julie recommends washing them in the men's room sink, because it's bigger, and asks that they don't ask her why she knows that.
Felicity walks off with the dishes. Knoll asks Julie whether Felicity is mad. Julie says that Knoll hasn't been too friendly. Knoll claims that when Felicity and Hannah are together, he turns into a spaz. "Turns into"? Knoll claims that it doesn't make sense, but Julie shoots him a look like, "It makes perfect sense." Knoll admits that it does, and takes off. After Knoll leaves, the elevator doors open; Ben walks out wearing different clothes than he had on in the scene, and says hello to Julie. Ben explains about the ticket thing. Julie compliments his outfit.
Felicity washes dishes in the men's room sink. Knoll enters, and asks whether Felicity will ignore him permanently. Felicity says that she's not ignoring him. Knoll starts to apologize, and Felicity asks whether he's going to use her name, or continue to refer to her as one of the kids in the dorm. Ooh, burn! They don't need an oven -- they could cook the turkey with the heat coming off Knoll. Felicity asks whether she's an embarrassment to him, and says that she hates not being able to talk to him, and that it's the worst thing in the world to her. Knoll is all flattered, and Felicity tells him not to be flattered. She continues to babble about his beautiful girlfriend, and that she's not jealous of Hannah. Knoll shuts her mouth by kissing it. They stare at each other for a moment, and then Felicity lunges for him and they make out furiously. Ben walks into the bathroom, but neither of them hears him because they're too busy loving each other up. Ben looks shocked, and then smiles and slowly backs away.
Felicity walks back out into the hall with her hair all messed up. She finds Ben and asks where Julie is. Ben thinks that she went to find more plates. Julie comes around the corner and fills them in on the lack-of-plates situation. Felicity loudly screeches, "What should we do?" Ben says that Sean has extra plates. Or, they could go to the store and buy paper plates. I don't think anyone is expecting the fine china. Julie tells Ben to get all manner of table setting stuff. Hannah walks up, and Felicity stammers an introduction, calling Hannah "Knoll's girlfriend." Ben says, "His girlfriend? Really?" Heh. Hannah walks off. Julie tells him to hurry because the turkey is going to be there soon, with the guy. Ben looks confused, and then decides that he really doesn't need to know the back story and takes off.
Javier gets off the elevator carrying a foil-covered platter. Elena is right behind him. They run into Ben, and Elena and Ben swap "I thought you were going home?" stories. Ben gets in the elevator.
Felicity comments on the size of the turkey and asks what Elena is doing there. Elena shoots the question right back at her. Javier says that he needs to make everything look pretty and starts bustling around the kitchen. I wish I could hire a Javier. Felicity asks to be excused to hyperventilate, and takes off. Julie and Elena exchange glances. More of the "Didn't you go home?" stuff. Julie tells Elena to stay because they're going to have a lot of food. Javier walks up and asks where the candles are. He also tells Julie to get dressed, because she looks nice for basketball, but not for dinner. Hee! Julie takes off.
Knoll and Hannah talk in Knoll's room. Hannah says that she's too tired to go out to dinner. Knoll reluctantly suggests that they eat in the dorm. They have another Mac/PC debate that's too stupid to go into here, because I'm sure you all get that Knoll and Hannah have grown apart, largely because Knoll is kind of a tool. Hannah brings up the topic they've been avoiding -- their relationship. Knoll tries to pretend that everything is fine, but Hannah admits that when she was out of the dorm just now, she called some guy from her college with whom she's been spending time. Man, Jennifer Garner really does have duck lips. Imagine if Hannah and Knoll had a kid, with his nostrils and her lips? Yikes! Anyway, Hannah tells Knoll that nothing serious has happened with this other guy, but that she likes him. She thought it was because she missed Knoll, and she was sure that once she saw Knoll, things would get back to normal. Knoll smiles sadly and admits that things don't feel right. Hannah agrees. Knoll confesses that he's had the same thing, and Hannah asks whether she's met the girl. Hannah quickly changes her mind, saying that she doesn't want to know. Hannah says that she still loves Knoll, but things are different now. Knoll agrees. Man, that was pretty painless as far as breakups go. No one threw anything.
Ben walks into his apartment. Sean is still there. Ben asks what happened to Sean's plans. Sean says that he didn't feel up to going, so he called his cousin and cancelled. Ben points out that Sean said earlier that it was his brother's party, and asks whether there actually is a party. Sean says that there is a party, but that he's not invited to it, then bucks up and says that he's got three subs to eat. Ben asks whether Sean is sure that he's fine, and Sean says he is. As Ben walks out, he stops and says, "Are you going to come with me, or what?" Sean asks whether he can wear his t-shirt and jeans, and Ben says yes. Sean happily bounds towards the door.
Felicity walks into the bathroom, but stops when she hears crying. She turns and sees Hannah sobbing in the corner. Why wouldn't she go into a stall? Felicity asks Hannah whether she's all right, then grabs a roll of toilet paper and gives it to Hannah to use as a tissue. Hannah remarks that it's weird how things change. Felicity can't think of anything to say, so she makes a move to leave. Hannah adds, "He's a great guy." What she really means is, "I know you're the one, and don't hurt him, or I will kill you." Felicity replies, "I know." What she really means is, "Don't worry -- I'll dump him for Ben in the season finale. But hardly anyone likes Knoll by the second season, so it doesn't really matter. And you're married to him in real life, so it's not like you'll never see him again." Well, that's my interpretation.
Seriously? This final scene is what totally sold me on this show. Up until this point, I watched each week, but I thought it was all kind of depressing, and I didn't know whether I cared enough to stick with the show. But this one final scene convinced me that this was, in fact, a show to watch and love. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as interpreted by Ms. Aretha Franklin plays as the camera pans down a giant table where everyone is eating and making with the merry. Felicity and Julie share a laugh. Javier carves the turkey. Sean and Ben talk. Knoll passes the rolls to Hannah, and then pats her on the shoulder. Knoll looks at Felicity and they gaze into each other's eyes. Elena and Hannah talk. Felicity and Ben laugh together. The elevator doors open, and Elena's dad walks out. Elena looks up in surprise, then gets up and walks down the hall with him. Julie turns her head and sees them talking and hugging in the hallway. Julie looks introspective. Sean offers some food to Javier, who waves it off. Elena and her dad return to the table. Elena introduces her dad to everyone, and handshakes are exchanged. Sean brings over a chair for Elena's dad. As we slowly pan out, SVO says that she'd planned on spending Thanksgiving alone, but then Emmett showed up at her place with food. SVO concludes, "It's incredible, really. One minute, you're standing in this new city with nothing but your suitcase, and then you look around and suddenly, you realize you're surrounded by family." Fade to black. Love this show.
