Ann is ashamed to admit to the others that she slept with the much-younger Zach. Worse still, she left her phone in his dorm room and when Rose refuses to help her get it back, Ann's only option is to "return to the scene of the crime." Rose suggests that Ann invite Zach to Thanksgiving dinner since his parents are gone, and Ginnie and Marjee encourage this. It's Renee's first Thanksgiving with the Sorellis and she has offered to cook the dinner; the girls aren't willing because it would break the family tradition of preparing the meal according to their late mother's recipes, which they have maintained to honor her memory. When they tell Renee, she offers to help them uphold the tradition, and they reluctantly accept.
