When the doorbell rang, she went to the foyer, where Olivia Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero) was with Leo Quartermaine (Easton Rocket Sweda).

Olivia complained about a car honking outside, opened the door wide, and was surprised to find Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) standing there with Ned.

Ned had come home from the hospital earlier than expected, having planned the surprise with Brook Lynn’s assistance.

Just then, the smoke detector went off, prompting Olivia, Leo, and Michael to head to the kitchen while Brook Lynn took her dad to the living room.

Ned Wondered If He’d Ever Come Back Home

Ned shared that during his illness, he had wondered if he would ever return to the family home. Plus, it felt odd to think of the mansion as Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Elliot) house instead of Monica Quartermaine’s (Leslie Charleson).

He also made a light-hearted comment about how his heart attack had brought Brook Lynn and Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) closer.

When the doorbell rang again, Brook Lynn was in for a surprise when she opened it to find Gio and Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) waiting outside. After Gio and Emma welcomed Ned back home, Olivia, Michael, and Leo joined them in the living room.

The Family Discussed Drew Stealing The Family Heirlooms And Tracy Being Kept In the Dark

Olivia mentioned that the smoke detector had gone off for no reason, and Chase was making good progress with dinner.

Next, the family talked about Ned’s desire to keep his mother unaware of his heart attack since Tracy was still away at a spa in another country.

Olivia pointed out that the longer Tracy stayed away, the more time they had to delay telling her that Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) had taken the family heirlooms.

Then, Ned remembered the argument he had with Drew just before his heart attack, when he had threatened to sue his nephew before collapsing. In the present, Ned agreed that the last thing the family needed was another conflict with Drew.

Leo Just Became A Vegetarian And Outback Was Prevented From Stealing Any Turkey

Coming out of the kitchen, Chase was the next to greet Ned upon his return home and received some playful teasing from the family about his efforts to break the Quartermaine curse.

To Olivia’s disappointment, Leo announced that he had become a vegetarian and would not eat any turkey, nor her meatballs, chicken parm, or fish; however, Chase mentioned he’d also roasted a tofurkey.

Then, Chase said that dinner was ready, and Leo was curious about what Outback would eat since the dog seemed hungry when he let her in. Just then, the puppy leaped onto the table, but Michael reached her before she could grab anything.

The Family Decided To Donate The Feast

With a lavish feast laid out, Chase encouraged the family to begin eating, but Brook Lynn thought they had already pushed their luck too far.

She and Olivia recounted all the years when Thanksgiving dinner had gone wrong, even after it was prepared and served. Brook Lynn proposed that they donate the meal to someone in need, and Olivia knew exactly where to take the food.

Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) was not scheduled to work, but he surprised Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) by volunteering for a shift at the hospital.

They went to the break room, where he told her he was working because he didn’t want her to be alone for the holiday, and they enjoyed some granola bars.

The Quartermaines Arrived With Thanksgiving Food

Isaiah and Portia went back to the hub when Brook Lynn, Chase, Olivia, Leo, Michael, and Emma arrived with a complete Thanksgiving meal for the staff.

After Olivia thanked the doctors for saving Ned’s life, Portia mentioned Monica always ensured the staff was taken care of on Thanksgiving, and it was lovely to see Monica’s family continuing that tradition.

After the Qs finished arranging the food in the conference room, Michael recalled that Willow and Drew were getting married that day.

He informed Brook Lynn and Chase that he would return to the house later. In the meantime, Isaiah and Portia went back to the break room, where they resumed their private Thanksgiving celebration with pie and affectionate kisses.

The Quartermaines Were Surprised To Receive Pizza Ordered By Tracy

After coming back from the hospital with Leo, Emma, Chase, and Brook Lynn, Olivia cheerfully declared that she would defrost a casserole for their dinner.

However, Gio had other plans and guided them into the living room, where Ned was eagerly waiting with a generous stack of pizzas. Having held off on reading the card until everyone had returned, Gio then handed the note to Brook Lynn.

The family felt a warm sense of gratitude upon realizing that the pizzas had been thoughtfully ordered in advance by Tracy.

With everyone holding hands, Ned took the lead in their cherished annual tradition of singing the heartfelt song “We Gather Together.”

Willow Readied For Her Wedding

As Willow arranged the wedding flowers, she seemed uneasy when Drew cheerfully predicted that the day would be perfect.

The groom’s cheerful mood changed when Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) showed up to support Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante), making a sarcastic remark about looking forward to seeing Scout in her flower girl dress again.

After Willow stepped out to attend to her stepdaughter, Drew advised Alexis to better fake her happiness to convince Scout that she was in favor of the marriage.

Then, Drew received an update from Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) regarding the caterers and guest arrivals, but his intern had to leave for Thanksgiving plans and couldn’t stay for the wedding.

Nina Arrived With The Dress, Alexis And Elizabeth Discussed Scout

Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) arrived just as Kai was leaving, bringing a designer dress from the Crimson closet for the bride

She told Drew that she had chosen to support Willow’s decision to marry him and cautioned him not to squander the second chance he was given.

When Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) arrived, Alexis answered the door, and they complained about Drew taking over Thanksgiving for a wedding.

Alexis would have preferred to be at home with Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) and Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), she acknowledged that they had all agreed. It was essential for her to show her love and support for Scout.

Alexis And Willow Spent Some Sweet Time With Scout

Later, Alexis sat with Scout, who asked if she would be able to see her family more after her father married Willow. Instead of giving a straightforward answer, Alexis told her granddaughter that the wedding meant their family was expanding, and there would be more people to love her.

In the bedroom, Willow assisted Scout in preparing, and they talked about their future as a family. The young girl wished for Willow and her dad to be happy, and Willow assured her they would be.

Then, the bride-to-be mentioned how much Scout resembled her mother, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), and expressed her hope that Scout would also find happiness.

Nina Gave Willow Her Dress, And Advised Her She Didn’t Have To Go Through With The Wedding

When Nina walked into the bedroom, a distant Willow thanked her for taking care of the dress, while her mother felt let down that Elizabeth was going to help her get ready. Even though she promised not to meddle, Nina asked Willow if she truly wanted to go through with the wedding and offered to help her escape, no strings attached.

Willow then disclosed that she was fully aware of everything Drew did but emphasized that her main priority was to be cleared of any wrongdoing and to regain custody of her children.

She told her mother that marrying Drew would send a strong message to the jury;  Nina asked if Willow even loved Drew.

Willow insisted that she didn’t need to love him- her love was for her kids, and she would do anything to bring Wiley and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Serenity and Sequoia Mork-Macko) back.

Nina Returned To The Living Room As Nathan Arrived

Feeling upset after her talk with Willow, Nina went back to the empty living room just as Nathan  West (Ryan Paevey) arrived.

Sharing Willow’s plan to marry Drew to regain her children, Nina told her brother that instead of feeling relieved, she thought it made everything worse. Nathan then received a work text and had to leave, but he encouraged his sister to trust Willow before departing.

Back in the bedroom, Willow was gazing at a picture of her with Wiley and Amelia when Elizabeth came in to help her get ready. Meanwhile, in the living room, Drew, Martin, Nina, and Alexis waited as flower girl Scout began her walk to her father.

Michael Snooped Through The Window At The Wedding

The maid of honor, Elizabeth, gracefully followed behind, and shortly after, the bride made her stunning entrance. As Willow elegantly walked down the aisle, she offered a gentle nod to her mother, acknowledging her presence, before she joined Drew and Martin at the cozy fireplace.

At that very moment, as Willow and Drew clasped hands together, Michael peered in through the window from outside the house, observing the beautiful scene unfold.

The question that comes to viewers’ minds is if Michael will crash the wedding and object. Willow will make a big decision and Michael will receive a tempting offer.

Marshall Ashford Returned Home For Thanksgiving

During a break from his music tour, Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett) returned home for Thanksgiving and heard about the fight Stella Henry (Verneé Watson) had with Drew the day before.

Trina was relieved her dad stayed calm during the incident, while Curtis said Drew Cain wasn’t worth risking his life for.

Stella joked that letting Congressman Cutthroat suffer in his own misery was the best revenge for Drew. Later, Kai showed up, but Trina’s joy at seeing her boyfriend faded when Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) knocked on the door right after.

Trina Shot Jordan A Cold Look

Trina shot Jordan a cold look as she said she was on her way to dinner with Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and just stopped by to drop off a side dish.

With TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) out of town, Marshall and Curtis urged Jordan to stay for dinner, but she refused. Curtis ran after her as she left, asking her not to go.

She explained that even though Stella invited her, Trina’s reaction made her feel it was too soon to be with the family.

They agreed to take their time with the relationship, and Curtis was happy to have seen her, while Jordan recognized they both had a lot to be thankful for.

Trina Overheard Stella Talking About Portia’s Pregnancy, Nathan Arrived With Questions

At the same time, the others were setting the food on the table when Trina caught wind of Stella and Marshall discussing Portia’s pregnancy.

She was shocked and dropped a platter of food on the floor!  Hurriedly stepping outside, Trina then witnessed her dad and Jordan sharing a kiss.

However, before Curtis could clarify the situation, Nathan showed up with a police officer in uniform. He informed Curtis that he was being taken to the PCPD for questioning regarding the attempted murder of Drew Cain!
