Joe asks her daughters to take care of the deli while he is away for one weekend. Ann doesn't want to, but the others force her into it. Her reluctance vanishes when she meets handsome Marco, who works there. Marjee urges her to have a fling with Marco but Ginnie is against it, fearing that Ann will end up with a broken heart. Rose has trouble accepting harsh criticism from her acting teacher. The other sisters mistake Joel for her boyfriend, and Rose corrects that they are "just friends". Somehow that doesn't sound quite true... Ginnie takes charge at the deli, which Marjee doesn't like, and her repressed resentment against Ginnie surfaces just before the night of Marjee's party which takes place at her dad's place.

Ann is ashamed to admit to the others that she slept with the much-younger Zach. Worse still, she left her phone in his dorm room and when Rose refuses to help her get it back, Ann's only option is to "return to the scene of the crime." Rose suggests that Ann invite Zach to Thanksgiving dinner since his parents are gone, and Ginnie and Marjee encourage this. It's Renee's first Thanksgiving with the Sorellis and she has offered to cook the dinner; the girls aren't willing because it would break the family tradition of preparing the meal according to their late mother's recipes, which they have maintained to honor her memory. When they tell Renee, she offers to help them uphold the tradition, and they reluctantly accept.

Ann tries desperately to find a date for Justine's wedding, since Danny is no longer accompanying her. Rose's college friend Zach seizes the opportunity and volunteers to be Ann's date, but she has trouble accepting the age difference between them (suspension of disbelief is required of the viewer, since the actors are only 15½ months apart). Rose turns to Marjee for advice on how to have sex, although Marjee is probably the least-qualified one to give proper advice on the subject. A doctor tells Ginnie and Bob that they should abstain from having sex for 14 days, but that they absolutely do not want to do..

Ginnie and Bob almost get hit by a falling air conditioner, which causes them to decide on their organ-donor testaments, burial methods, guardianship of their orphaned children, and so forth. What they can't agree on is the guardian question. Marjee is trying to keep seeing Jason behind Trish's back. Rose goes to thank Joel for the gift and ask why he kissed her. Joel finally reveals everything. Ann is going to a therapist but avoiding the subject of fear of being alone. Her therapist suggest that she try to spend one evening totally alone, but her attempt fails when Zach calls her and invites her over for tequila and sex. Joe hires Marjee to plan his and Renee's wedding. And all this in just the first 15 minutes.

Trish has been sub-letting her apartment to Jason and is now kicking him and Marjee out of it, so they go to Ann's place. Joe calls Ginnie from Cape Cod and invites her and Bob there. Rose finally realizes that she loves Joel and breaks the "news" to her sisters, who have known all along; since Joel now has a girlfriend, Rose has only one option: to suffer. And suffer she shall, because Joel invites her to his birthday party. As for Marjee, Ann and Ginnie feel that she should protect herself from Jason now that he is her business partner. Also, they don't like him much. The argument ends with Marjee storming out.

Ann must hide Danny from Marjee, who is living with her. Bob generously offers to stay in with Ginnie since she must stay in bed. Ginnie orders him to go do something and invites Marjee, Rose, and Ann to play cards. Ann declines and must lie about being with Danny. Then all the other sisters hear that Ginnie has been taken to the hospital because her abruption of placenta has progressed. When Danny and Ann arrive at the hospital together, she spills out the story. Ginnie then has the genius idea to ask to see Danny and force him to tell what's going between him and Ann, but before she can interrogate him, things suddenly turn very serious when she has complications.
