Hope and Faith's playboy father Jack arrives for Thanksgiving with his latest girlfriend. She's "out of this world," he says to his daughters. She says she was abducted by aliens. Jack also has a surprise for Charley: he has taken up shiatsu massage, and his "favorite" (read: only) son-in-law is "customer numero uno."

Hope and Faith's dad and Faith's best friend, Mandi, share a May-December romance. This doesn't sit well at all with Hope or Faith, so Faith sets out to teach Mandi a lesson by hitting on her dad.

Hope and Faith play matchmakers for their father and their gynecologist, Anne. They hit it off, until Jack finds out that his ex-girlfriend, Mandi, is pregnant with his child.

Even though his true love is Anne, Jack decides to marry Mandi. He is unaware, however, that Mandi is very much in love with her current boyfriend.

Thanksgiving day brings up memories of ten years ago, when Faith hosts a holiday dinner at her Hollywood apartment. She goes to great lengths to impress her parents, Jack and Mary Jo, including posing as Brian Austin Green's girlfriend. Happiness turns to sadness, however, when the family learns of Mary Jo's secret: she is dying.

Hope and Faith are surprised to spot their dad, Jack, in town earlier than expected for Thanksgiving. His suspicious behavior with his companion, a young man named Jay leads the sisters to jump to conclusions. They soon learn their father is harboring a secret about Jay, which has a huge impact on their family ties.

The Gooch is nervous about meeting Faith’s dad, Jack, who is visiting for Hope and Charley’s 20th anniversary party. After a rocky start, Jack and the Gooch begin to bond, so Faith is astonished when Jack tells her that the Gooch is not a good match for her. At the party, Faith’s efforts to spruce up the Gooch’s image in order to gain Jack’s approval backfires, and Hope is upset when the focus of her party shifts – as usual -- to her sister.
