Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Bonnie invites her troubled AA sponsee Patty to spend Christmas with her and Christy. While the combination of Patty's sad family status and Christy's stories of Bonnie's holiday mayhem and neglect drive Bonnie into a horrified, tearful reflection on her past self, she is able to pull herself out of it and do good work in the present. Elsewhere, Jill annoyingly obsesses over a picture Andy sent from his visit to Minnesota. Later, the group decides to join Wendy for some therapeutic caroling. Title meaning: Jill's term for the unwanted reorganization of the coffee table Tammy set up at a meeting, and the event Marjorie was headed to long ago when she had her own past-reflecting emotional breakdown.
