After the Mayor's ex's vicious TV appearance in favor of the opposition, Mike commandeers his staff to attend a 'family' Thanksgiving dinner at the mayoral mansion. Stacey smuggles her hot date in as a waiter, but Stuart tricks her into kissing him, which calls for revenge. Impossible-to-please Randall Winston, Sr. turns up, being his most unlovable self and bringing out the worst in the childishly pouting mayor. Paul pays for his 'free outfit' with blatant publicity. Mike wrestles with the turkey as well as these problems. James and Carter fight while staging a puppet-show interlude.
