Everyone has Thanksgiving plans.
It’s a few days before Thanksgiving and Issa’s hanging with Molly as they are shopping at the grocery store. Molly’s contemplating inviting Andrew over to hang with her family for Thanksgiving. But Issa tells her not to do this because it will make her look desperate. Molly gets upset and tells Issa that it was desperate for Issa to have sex for free weed and toiletries.
Both women admit they have been taking a lot of jabs at each other as of late. So they agree to hash things out on Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile, Lawrence arrives at Condola’s, offering to fix her leaky kitchen faucet. Molly then makes it to her parent’s house.

Her mom’s disappointed to learn Andrew won’t be coming over. And she tells Molly that she disagrees with Issa’s view of looking desperate by inviting Andrew over so soon. Her mom then shades the dating decisions of Molly’s brothers who are sitting on the couch.

They’re pleasantly interrupted by a mariachi band playing at their table. Meanwhile, it’s game time with Molly’s family.
