At Dean & Deluca, Javier (who is holding his white, long-haired cat, who so would not be allowed in a food establishment) complains to Felicity about the fight he had with Samuel over putting "raisins in the stuffing or who broke the butter dish." Javier explains that it's like CNN, except instead of twenty-four-hour news, it's twenty-four-hour bitching and whining. So, he took Mami (the cat) and left the house. Felicity carries a drink over for Mami, and then asks Javier what he's doing for Thanksgiving, and invites him to their dinner. Javier asks if they can put raisins in the stuffing, and Felicity is sure that they can. Mami starts drinking, and Javier calls her "a caffeine addict." I don't really think cats should have caffeine, but what do I know? Ben walks in the door. Felicity calls out to him, but he ignores her and keeps walking. Javier comments, "Maybe Benjamin and Samuel should spend the holiday together." Felicity keeps looking in the direction in which Ben disappeared, and then excuses herself to Javier.
In the back room, Felicity says that Meghan said that Ben isn't coming to the dinner. Ben confirms this, and Felicity says that she knows that Ben is angry, but he shouldn't be alone on Thanksgiving. Wait, isn't his mom still in town? Not to mention his dad. Ben snaps back, "Who said I'm going to be alone?" Felicity, surprised and kind of hurt by that thought, stammers a bit until Ben says that he's going to see his dad. Felicity says okay and walks away, and Ben looks thoughtful, probably realizing the effect that his statement had on Felicity, and filing it away for later. Or maybe I'm reaching.
Elena taps away at her laptop, while Trevor sits next to her and reads and sighs. Elena complains about his sighing, since she's trying to finish her medical school applications. Trevor explains that he's having a hard time understanding the book that he's reading. Elena laughs that he's not reading a book -- he's reading Cliff's Notes. Trevor doesn't understand why college has to be so difficult, and says that English One is even more difficult than it was the first time he took it. Elena looks upset that she kissed someone who failed English One. Elena has these new bangs that I don't like. She may have had them all season, and I'm just now noticing. But her hairstyle is very Cleopatra-like, and it just doesn't work with her features. Anyway, Trevor complains about the Russian books he had to read for English One. Somehow, I doubt that -- I'd like to see the college that assigns Crime and Punishment in freshman English. Trevor says that "college is supposed to be the time of your life," while Elena stares at him in disbelief. Meghan walks in, carrying the turkey and the groceries, and asks what happened to "Taffy and Gammy." Hee! Elena says that they went to Florida for the holiday. Meghan is relieved to hear it, because she couldn't deal with them through dinner. This is the first Elena's heard about any dinner, so Meghan invites her and Trevor. Elena gives Meghan a look of surprise over the invitation to Trevor, so Meghan asks, "Isn't he?" Elena tries to cover, saying that of course Trevor is invited. Trevor says that he will come, then stands, saying that he needs to go find more information on his book. He kisses Elena goodbye. So are they like an official couple now? That everyone knows about?
