They won’t allow it. They drink to progress and Mamie starts to talk business. She stops herself with a laugh and Lily demands answers.

Mamie finally reveals Tucker wants Jill out of the company.

Devon thinks they should tell Jill and asks if his aunt has specifics. Mamie is on Tucker’s side where that comes from.

She wants Jill out and asks if they have ever thought about what it’d be like to get Jill out of CW.

She finds Abby who is all over the place, talking about Thanksgiving dinner and how they were supposed to go to the ranch but the Newmans are headed out of town for reasons she doesn’t know.

She has all sorts of things to do. They’re already ready for the holiday to be over.

Abby sets a beautiful table for the Fishers since Lauren just heard from Gloria who showed up from Singapore with Michael unannounced.

Kyle and Chloe wander in with hugs and neither are in a mood for surprises.

They’re happy to see Michael but Gloria?

She’s been in and out of prison the last six months.

They guess what her demeanor will be.

Outside, Michael tugs on Gloria’s arm and forces her to come inside.

She wants to see the grandbabies and learns they’ll see them for dessert. She calls them her legacy and her reason… she falls to the sofa, snoring.

The family watches her with a laugh.

They all sit on the sofas and Abby lets them know there’s no wait staff. They have to serve themselves.

Glo jumps up. “Let me tell you, when I owned GLow, there was —” Michael jumps up and clamps a hand over his mama’s mouth and thinks Abby’s employees must be grateful for the time off.

They’ll be fine.

Glo starts bitching about not having a home-cooked meal but Lauren sets her straight.

They could have given her a heads-up that they were on the way home.

Chloe and Kevin dash to the kitchen to check on the meal and Michael says they had issues getting through on the phone.

Chloe and Kevin return and they all agree to try to have a nice dinner.

Chloe takes Lauren into the kitchen while Kevin and Michael get drinks.

The women return and Lauren asks what happened in Singapore and what took Michael so long to exonerate Glo.

Neither wants to spill and Glo calls it simple mistaken identity.

Michaell finds that hilarious and says that was the defense but she was guilty as hell of her crime.

Gloria gets dramatic and whines about what she’s been through.

Michael laughs at her milking it and vows to tell the family if she won’t.

They sit and go around the table to tell each other what they’re grateful for.

It’s the usual, each other, happy and healthy children. When it comes to Glo, she says she’s happy and grateful too for them.

And Michael, her brilliant son who saved her from a fate of unspeakable suffering.

He tells her she’s drained the table of sympathy.

“Just. Tell. Them.” She admits she had an affair with a diplomat and then his wife caught them together. “How dare she?” Kevin says.

Glo calls her a drama queen who had an over-the-top meltdown and threw her out. “Like a common trollop.”

She retrieved her clothes from the closet, three pairs of shoes and a divine cocktail dress. The women are rocked.

Glo says the husband pressed charges.

They all laugh at how Michael got her off on a mistaken identity charge and clink glasses.

He does ask if she really means it when she calls sex with Kyle recreational and meaningless.

He thinks they’d be a perfect match in an alternative universe but they’re too much alike.

He calls her brilliant, talented and beautiful and he’s a little jealous.

He kisses her hand and says she won’t get that with Kyle but deserves to.
