Chapter Sixteen: Thanksgiving

S2 E9: Bringing family together - Mary Tyler Moore, Vanessa Marcil and Rosie Perez Guest Star - Wendy (Brooke Shields) rushes to plan and prepare a big locavore Thanksgiving dinner where all the ingredients used are local. Times get a bit more hectic when her judgmental mother Joyce (guest star Mary Tyler Moore), her newly single successor Sal (David Norona) and Shane's (Paul Blackthorne) distraught manager Josie (guest star Vanessa Marcil) all arrive for the festivities. Nico (Kim Raver) plans the perfect Thanksgiving with Kirby (Robert Buckley) but a last minute request from Megan (guest star Shannon McGinnis) leaves baby Charlie in the inexperienced couple's hands. Victory (Lindsay Price) is not looking forward to the holidays as she struggles to get over Joe (Andrew McCarthy), but things are on the upswing when an unexpected visitor asks her to design a wedding dress for his future bride in two days. As Victory feverishly works on her designs, dinner at Wendy's becomes out of the question and her ex-publicist Dahlia (guest star Rosie Perez) makes a surprising return.
