Plot summary
In the Arnold household, money is tight and things get worse when the kitchen stove malfunctions. At work, Jack asks for a raise so he can buy Norma a new stove. To his surprise, he receives not only a raise, but a promotion as well—but there's a catch: Jack's boss is forcing him to travel during Thanksgiving, which leaves Norma in charge of preparing Thanksgiving dinner. With the realization sinking in that Jack is not present on Thanksgiving for the first time, the family is sullen. However, Jack calls Norma, and tells the family to meet him at the airport. They do, and they get to greet him and spend some time with him there. Absent: Danica McKellar as Winnie Cooper.
