Yvonne wants to impress Darryl's hard-to-please relatives by cooking Thanksgiving dinner all by herself. Meanwhile, Darryl's family visits for the first time.

Darryl asks Yvonne to marry him again, now that he can afford a big wedding, but it looks like her father might ruin the ceremony.

Yvonne threatens to call off the wedding if Darryl and her father do not at least pretend to get along with each other.

Yvonne takes a job doing fund raising at a local hospital.

At a big family Thanksgiving, Darryl learns that the man he always thought was his father actually isn't, and his entire family has been lying to him his whole life.

At a charity auction, Yvonne meets a number of working mothers who are condescending when they find out Yvonne is a stay at home mom, but her gift-basket that she donates sells for a lot of money. Yvonne decides to start a gift-basket business to prove she too can do it all and starts to work herself to the bone. Yvonne feels badly when Sydney gets a D on a math test, Michael has a new friend she hasn't even met, Darryl has to take Sydney to her Buttercup Girls meeting, and Michael starts gaining weight from Jessie Mae's butter-heavy cooking. She realizes she's doing something she hates and ignoring something she loves to prove something to people she doesn't care about, so she quits.

Despite Yvonne's misgivings about helping friends and relatives, Darryl agrees to help his aunt with her failing hair salon, and develops a bold plan for a grand reopening.
