Last week was a short week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. We were treated to a Thanksgiving episode with a wonderful speech by Vernon. We learned, as expected, that Joey’s a terrific cook, so good he made a grown woman cry.

Dani puts her heart into anything she does and still wound up with a burned turkey that broke a knife; it was so hard. They were too entranced with the magic of Cascade, their dishwashing pods.

While that was happening, Ted decided not to see his OG son Martin or daughter Kat and instead, spent the day with his new daughter Eva and Leslie, at Orphie Gene’s, while the Duprees spent theirs at the club with Bill looking on longing to be a part of their family while he dined with the woman who has been poisoning him for weeks.

Not that we’d know. He seems as healthy as can be. Here’s what’s coming up this week, which includes a mild elevator disaster.

Who is in crisis?

Coming up, the Dupree family is left staggered by a shocking health crisis.

Our Anita theory?

Since they’re reminding us on the daily that Anita needs to have a physical, it’s easy to see where this is going.

From the promo!

“I called that number you gave us,” a woman says, dropping her card before Vanessa.

“So, you’re seeking customers at the country club?” Dani asks.

“I resent being characterized as a pimp,” objects Vanessa.

“Okay, a madam,” says Dani.

“Joey is a dangerous man and he has me right where he wants me,” Martin tells Smitty.

Joey smiles at a photo.

“You knew the consequences before you chose what you wrought,” Vernon lectures Bill.

“Any particular reason why you’re tripping with no map?” Randy asks.

“Yes, and you know who it is!” Hayley tells him.

“I told you over and over that I don’t give a damn about their opinions! What is it, Joey?” Vanessa asks him.

“Feels like I’m wrapped in a dream,” Eva says.

“Someone tastes good,” says Izaiah.

“Did our daughters inherit their lack of subtlety from you or from me?” Dani asks Bill as they toast with their daughters.
