Shane held one of the plates and looked at it carefully.

"What's the matter?" Claire asked.

"This isn't the china we picked out." Shane said looking at Claire.

"I Know! After you left the store I chose different ones." She said as she carried on laying the table.

"Why?" He asked, still looking at her.

"Well, no offence honey, but your taste is a little too feminine for me."

"Oh, suddenly flowers are feminine?"

Myrnin got up from the sofa and went to stand by the stairs. He called Oliver to come over.

"What's wrong?" Oliver asked as if he couldn't care less.

"I need a really good lie to tell the people at the parade why I wasn't there." Myrnin explained.

"But you stink at lying." Oliver said bluntly.

"Wha? I do not!"

"Oh really? Then let me ask you something. Remember when we were at Common Grounds yesterday? Well I went to the bathroom and when I came back my muffin was gone. Who took it?"

"Somebody opened the door…to Common Grounds, and a, Raccoon, came running in and went straight to your muffin and I said "Hey, don't eat that! That's Oliver's!" and he said," Myrnin paused realising how stupid he sounds. "He said "Myrnin you stink at lying" What am I going to do?"

Oliver sighed and said "Okay, we'll come up with a good lie. I'll help you practice."

"Okay, thank you."

Ebony came down the stairs after using the hair straighteners and walked over to Eve who was putting Willow into her cot. "Oh…she's precious." Eve said to Willow with a beaming smile.

"Yeah," said Ebony. "Do you ever worry that she'll get your old nose?"

"Ebony!" Eve said sounding shocked. Then she grabbed Michael's hand and said "I do, I really do."

Ebony cell phone rang and before she answered it she asked "Can I take this upstairs?"

"Sure." Michael said.

Ebony was upstairs for about 2 minutes before storming down the stairs making everybody look at her, "Stupid thanksgiving!"

"What? What happened?" Eve asked.

"My boyfriend cancelled on me. I mean I, I finally find a real relationship with someone I could spend this day with and then his wife comes back to town. I swear it's not even worth dating married guys!"

"Oh, don't say that." Shane said from the table.

"I was so looking forward to this. It was going to be a beautiful thanksgiving. We were going to have sushi." Ebony was on the verge of crying.

"Oh, Ebony don't cry." Eve said as she put her arms around her.

"Oh and uh, I was just wondering, where is your second floor?" Ebony asked while still sobbing.

"S-S second floor?" Claire asked confused. "We don't have a second floor."

"Seriously? It's just these two." Ebony said as she moved her finger up and down indicating the ground floor and upstairs.

"Uh, Michael can I talk to you for a sec?" Eve asked him.

"Sure, do you want to go to the second floor or…?" He was saying when Eve grabbed his hand and dragged him into the kitchen.

"Erm look, if it's ok with you I would like to invite Ebony to thanksgiving." Eve said.

"You know I think that's a great idea, it will be like the pilgrims being in the Indian's syphilis." Michael said jokily.

Look, I know she's a little tough to take…but she has no where else to go. And she's my sister. Alright? And she's Willow aunt? And I'd like them to bond…"

"Ok…fine. But I don't want them bonding to much. I don't want her telling Willow she needs a nose job."

"Well! Do you know what? She might just need one, we're going to have to make our peace with that."
