"Hey there, happy holidays to ya. Make yourselves comfy 'cause ol' Flip's got a Thanksgiving tale to tell ya."
"'Twas the day before Thanksgiving, and the Loud and Casagrande families were getting ready for the big shabang."
"We haven't spent it with the Casagrandes in like five years. When we lived in Royal Woods, Mom always had to work the Thanksgiving shift at the hospital."
"Oh, this is just cranberry sauce. I tripped on the way over."
"It wasn't great, but I was always up to date on my booster shots."
"Ha, turkeys are for amateurs, Lori-Lou. I'm making a turgooseon."
"Squawk! Triple homicide!"
"Oh, every year, Lincoln eats so much turkey, he falls asleep at the table and misses dessert."
"But not this year. I've got a plan."
"If I start to feel sleepy, I'll just dip my head in this bucket of ice water, like so."
Clearly, Lincoln's not ready for the ice bucket challenge.
Now those sheets will need to be cleaned.
"Apologies, first born sibling! Just doing a test run with GravyBot. The robot I built to ensure equal gravy distribution. I'll send in Clean-Up-Bot."
"This ought to keep me awake till dessert."
Lincoln overhears Lori considering going to the Casagrandes' for Thanksgiving...
"They're thinking of doing what?!"
"What if Bobby likes it so much at the Loud's, that he wants to spend Christmas there too?!"
"First, it's Thanksgiving, next thing you know, we lose her for every holiday."
Lori can't find anything good on TV.
Funny how Lana and Lola took the time to cut out all those letters for this note.
Good thing Garfield doesn't live here or that fridge would be empty.
"Go ahead, have a little taste. We won't say anything."
"We would never trap our favorite sister. Oldest and most important."
"Quick, bring judge Lori her robe."
"And here's our new turkey."
"Aren't you excited, Lily? We've all been pardoned by Lori, and now it's your turn."
"I was just hanging all the hand turkeys you kids have made over the years, and I came across the one that started it all."
Meanwhile, Rosa is tempting Bobby to stay.
"It's been five long years since I've had the chance to cook a Thanksgiving meal for you. You can have whatever you want."
"Hey, Bobby, come join us. We were just making our traditional paper chain of all the things we're thankful for."
"Guys, you're hurting my arms."
"Appetizers have been vanquished. The meal has come to pass.
Dessert is on the horizon, yet this space remains so vast."
"Where once sat a warm body. Now there is only cold wood.
All that remains is a lock of blonde hair, a reminder of what was once good."
"I just heard the most horrible thing! Saul from Saul's Sandwich Shop heard from Street Meat Malik that Vito Filliponio's son is spending Thanksgiving… at his friend's house!"
"You've been eavesdropping on me?!"
"Thanksgiving means so much to our family."
"The thought of our first-born not spending it with us..."
"I'm an old man, Bobby. I don't know how much time we have left together."
The Louds win the coin toss.
"Chop, chop with those streamers, girls, we really have to dazzle Lori and Bobby with these decorations."
Rita: "Lola, you were supposed to choose a photo of Bobby and Lori, not you."
Lori and Bobby are happy to see each other again (and so are their younger siblings).
Lori: "Awww. You made Bobby and me two peas in a pod. That's so sweet."
"Well played, Casagrandes, but don't count the Louds out just yet."
"What you're about to see is a case of the bird so cute, you could gobble her up."
"All rise for the honorable Lori Loud!"
"And now let's meet the defendant, Turkey Lily!"
Meanwhile, Carlota and Frida are preparing their family's costumes.
"We, the jury, find the defendant..."
"Guilty of being the cutest turkey ever."
In other words, she's being pardoned.
"Lori, Bobby, we saved you a spot."
"No, we saved you a spot."
"Um, how about we sit in the middle?"
"♫ We love Bobby and Lori more than anyone in the world... ♫"
"Did somebody say gravy?"
"And that's how Bobby and Lori ended up at the only place in town that's open 24/7/365, except during fishing season."
Not long after, so did their families.
"Hey, I got an idea. Why don't you just rotate every year, huh?"
"Much like the juicy hot dogs I'm selling at a mere 40% mark-up. Holiday discount."
"Rosa, this chili-cheese dog stuffing is divine. The habanero sauce was a nice touch."
"I can't believe I finally got dessert this year, and a whole aisle's worth!"
After 2½ seasons, Lori and Bobby finally get an onscreen kiss.
And that's how the Louds and Casagrandes became friends.
"Got the centerpiece, Mom!"
Lalo and Sergio meet the Loud pets.
Lynn Sr. and Rosa in the kitchen.
"Who would wear a diaper to dinner?"
"Thanks for the assist on SalsaBot."
Lincoln falls asleep during the food fight.
"...we're gonna squash the competition!"
