Plot
On the day before Thanksgiving, Bonnie calls Julianne, asking her to come over for Thanksgiving dinner. Hunter learns of this and immediately tries to cancel her invitation, without making Julianne feel bad, as he does not want Ann to know. The dinner begins at five o'clock, so Hunter tells Julianne it starts at seven instead. Bonnie also invites Mason, making Audrey realize she must tell her dad about her relationship before. The dinner begins, and the McCarvilles, Audrey, Billy, Kari, and Mason arrive. Hunter tells Bonnie about Julianne, and Bonnie hesitantly agrees not to mention anything.

The dinner begins well, until Billy makes Mason feel very awkward about dating Audrey and he leaves early, upsetting Audrey. As everyone finishes eating, Billy apologizes to Audrey, though she is still angry at him. Hunter worries as it is almost seven and they are not even close to leaving. Julianne arrives, confusing Ann as to why she is here. Julianne realizes Hunter lied to her about the dinner to stop Ann from finding out. Julianne breaks up with Hunter, saying she cannot be with someone who would rather lie to her to let his parents find out. Hunter also leaves, after Ann feels left out due to Hunter telling Michael, Bonnie, Colton, Austin, Bella, and Audrey, but not her.

Audrey accepts Billy's apology, but she makes him drive her to Mason's where, he apologizes to him and Mason forgives him, also apologizing to Audrey for leaving early. The couple kisses, before Billy pulls her away. Ann and Michael take the kids home, where Hunter is waiting to talk to Ann. Ann tells Hunter that he can't be forced to tell her everything, but she would want to know if he is dating someone for two months. Hunter tries to explain, but she tells him to leave.
