Wednesday before Thanksgiving, on "the city":

Buck is knocking on the door. Tess is listening to loud music as 
she pulls clothes out of the closet. She finally hears him and 
opens the door. She turns the music down. Buck asks if she feels 
okay. She tells him that she is feeling better than okay. She 
feels great. Is there space for him there, he asks? With a red 
velvet rope around it, she replies. Well, take it down, he's 
coming in. They kiss.

Ally is making blueberry pancakes. Are they still Tyler's 
favorite? she asks. Yeah, but Nancy doesn't know how to make 
them. Ah, the nanny. The au pair, Tyler says. They'll have 
turkey tomorrow, Ally says. Does he know what tomorrow is? 
Thanksgiving! Ally says he'll meet a lot of people tomorrow. 
Tony is going to be there. Will Danny be there? Tyler asks.
Maybe, Ally says. Tyler says he likes Danny. Ally says she 
likes Tony, very very much.

Danny enters and sees the martini glasses. Way to go, Carla, he 
says. Meanwhile, Tony rolls over in bed and finds Carla, who is 
complaining about her head. She says oh no. Tony says seems so.

Buck and Tess are still kissing. He notices that her wardrobe 
is all over the place. She says she's doing some Spring cleaning. 
She's a little late, he says. About 20 years, she says. She 
hasn't cleaned out her closet since she changed from the baggy 
sweats to the clingy Ts in high school when she noticed that 
the boys noticed her. She holds up a short sequined dress. 
Remember this? she ask. Last time he saw her ware it was in 
Corinth. Well, he'll never see her in it again. He liked it. 
She looked like a hooker, Tess says. It's short and sequined 
and it barely covers her...She tells him about her new plans 
for a wardrobe, tailored suits.

Tony says it never happened. He would have remember something 
like that. Carla says they got carried away. Tony denies 
anything happened.

Tyler asks for a fourth pancake. There's a knock on the door. 
That must be Tony, Ally says as she opens the door to Danny, 
who brought Thanksgiving stuff - pumpkin pie, fresh cranberries, 
and a big turkey. Can he have a drumstick? Tyler asks. Danny 
says he can have both of them if he's that hungry. Danny asks 
Tyler if he's ever seen a Thanksgiving Day Parade. Only on TV, 
he says. Danny offers to take Tyler to the parade. Ally sends 
Tyler off to wash his hands cause of the syrup he got on his 
hands. He says he didn't get any on his hands, but leaves. 
Ally asks where Tony is. Danny says Tony wasn't on the couch 
when he came over. He must have gone out jogging or something, 
Danny offers. Well, she'll call him, he must be back by now.

Tony says nothing happened. He would have remembered that. 
The phone rings. Carla says she'll get it. NO! Tony runs for 
it and gets it. He sounds groggy. Ally wonders if he forgot 
that he was invited to breakfast. She made blueberry pancakes. 
He didn't forget, Tony says. She asks if anything is wrong. 
No, he's just tired. She hangs up. Tony says that nothing could 
have happened. Carla says they got carried away. Tony says he 
wants her to tell him the truth. She has been. This sounds like 
a Carla plot, Tony says. No, she says, if she had planned this, 
she would have set it up so that Ally came in on them. Tony says 
really, what happened. She says he ripped her clotes off. Where 
are they? She asks. He finds her black bra on his side of the bed. 
He picks it up like it's poison and hands it to her.

Tess says she led the producer on (which Buck tries to deny), 
but, Tess continues, she learned that if she wants to change her 
self image, she has to start with herself. She tells Buck that 
she has an appointment. Another audition? No, Tess says. Well, 
as long as it 's not another man. Well, it is, Tess says. Should 
he be jealous? No, Tess says. Then he'll accompany her. No, if 
she is going to do this, she needs to do it by herself. He can't 
hold her hand all the time. Well, Buck offers, can he hold it to 
the elevator? He's got a deal, she says.

Danny tells Tyler about the parade and what they plan on doing. 
Danny gives him a football. Ally sends Tyler off to wash his 
hands again. She says this is great. Tyler is home, she and Tony 
are back together.

Carla pours coffee for her and Tony. She wants a new head, Carla 
says, this one hurts so much. Tony admits that he remembers kissing 
her. She said that the kiss lasted about 5 mintues. Then they got 
carried away...Tony remembers kissing her. Tony says he would 
never cheat on Ally. Carla says he was drunk. 4 martinis or 4000, 
he would never do that. Well, his...their secret is safe, Carla 
says. He *has* no secrets, Tony says. Carla says have it your way. 
She walks away and Tony takes the engagement ring out of the box.

Tess is in the waiting room. She makes a phone call. Buck picks 
up the phone. What's up. She just called to say she loves him. 
Sorry, he's going steady. Well, that's a lucky woman. Not as lucky 
as he is, Buck replies. She has to go now. The doctor comes in and 
she tells him she's here to look into a breast reduction.

Ally says Tony was tired, she thinks he went back to bed. Danny 
tells Ally that she should go get Tony out of bed. Tell him that 
her son needs someone to play football with. He gives Ally the keys, 
in case Tony did fall back asleep. 

Carla says that neither one of them planned it. It just happened. 
Nothing like that ever happened to her, or to him, he said so last 
night, she adds. Tony says Ally can tell when something isn't right. 
Like what? Ally says as she comes in the door. Like him being late 
for breakfast, he says. Oh that, Ally bubbles, that's okay. Ally 
says that Tyler is over there now, and she was hoping they could 
go out, maybe doing some shopping. She invites Carla over for 
Thanksgiving dinner. She says well, if it's okay with her 
soon-to-be-ex, sure. Tony looks to Ally, then Carla, then Ally, 
Carla, then says why not?
