==Episode Summary==
The episode opens with a man named William escorting Izza S. Talker out of prison in the middle of the night. As William is established to be Izza's lawyer, the pair begin discussing Izza's release time before they enter William's car. Here he questions her about where he wanted him to drop her off. Right as the question is asked, Izza looks at Alexa's social media story on a burner phone to establish her current location, and instructs William to take her to the hotel across the street from it. The scene then cuts to the hotel room, where Izza is seen looking at Alexa (and Dean) out the window through a pair of binoculars. William soon questions her intentions before she instructs him to turn the lights out and join her by the window. She then asks him for her prison scrapbook (seen at the end of the previous episode) and the two begin to discuss his pay. Izza presents a duffle bag full of money to William, and reminds him that there was still more to come if he helped her carry out her future plan further. William interrupts the conversation by offering to dob Izza into the police and run off with the bribe money, however his plan gets stopped when she threatens to murder him. William then plays off his previous suggestion as a joke as he joins in on Izza's current activity. The two then further discuss the plan before William hands Izza a camera. She then points it out the window and takes a distant photo of Alexa (and Dean) just as they are leaving their location.
Following the opening credits, Dean and Alexa are seen competing in a game of pool in Rachel's old bedroom. At first Dean visibly misses hit shot and blames it on his accident, and then Alexa schools him by providing a perfect shot. Dean ends up complimenting her for it and the two share an embrace. They then briefly discuss their new game room before their conversation is interrupted by Alexa receiving a notification on her phone. It is soon established to be an e-invite to the Wilson family Thanksgiving dinner sent by Alexa's sister Savannah. Dean questions Alexa's relationship with her family before he encourages her to attend. Alexa interrupts the moment by telling him that her family expected her to bring her boyfriend along and reveals that she didn't want to bring Dean along due to awkwardness. Dean then makes the suggestion for someone else to act as him with him "in spirit", and the two begin to question who they could invite to play him. Suddenly Reuben enters the room wearing one of Dean's shirts and manages to perform an insulting impression of Dean. Alexa is immediately impressed as her and Dean smile at each other and in Reuben's direction, leaving him confused.
Dean and Alexa arrive downstairs to find Reuben sitting at the kitchen bench. The two briefly discuss their plan before joining him. Once they approach Reuben, the pair begin showering with compliments over his Dean impression from earlier. As Reuben appears flattered, Alexa suggests for him to showcase the impression again. As Reuben briefly suggests for him to audition in something alongside Alexa, she quickly shuts him down before beginning to mention the Thanksgiving dinner plan. As she begins to slur her words, Dean takes over from her and reveals their plan on having Reuben attend the dinner in Dean's place and have Dean direct him on what to say. Reuben rebuts the suggestion by telling the pair that he didn't look "old" enough, which makes Dean present an emergency fake moustache out of his pocket and give it to him. Reuben applies the fake moustache, and Dean and Alexa revel on how much older he looked; coupling on some visible grey hairs on his head which is established to not be a wig. Reuben gets insulted at the discovery and begins to storm off in protest, however Dean convinces Reuben to go along with the plan by promising him a favour in the near future. He happily accepts.
Dean, Alexa and Reuben arrive at the Wilson house by car and begin discussing their impending plan. Eventually the three discuss Reuben's pet name: "Dick Wang". Both Alexa and Dean disapprove of the name, however Reuben threatens to abort the plan if he didn't get to use it. Dean and Alexa eventually cave as they begin to set the plan in motion. As Alexa instructs Reuben to put his fake moustache on, Dean manages to sneak into a second floor window and land in a bathtub. Meanwhile Alexa and "Dick" make their way to the front of the house and ring the doorbell as Dean and "Dick's" connection is established. Savannah ends up answering the door as she immediately manages to insult Alexa. When Alexa attempts to defend herself Savannah chooses to ignore her and asks her about Reuben. Alexa introduces Reuben as her "boyfriend" as Dean instructs him in an earpiece to introduce himself as "Dick Wang". Savannah simply smirks at the name as she instructs the pair to enter the dining room. Here she introduces Victoria, Anthony and the parents to "Dick". Most of them greet him with little enthusiasm except for Anthony; who entertains the phallic sounding nature of "Dick's" name. "Dick" responds by telling him his full name ("Dick Johnson Wang") off-script, much to the dismay of Dean on the other end of the earpiece.
As the dinner commences, the family begins interrogating "Dick" about his "relationship" with Alexa. Firstly, Savannah asks him about how long they've been dating, and "Dick" successfully tells her under Dean's instruction. Secondly, Mrs Wilson asks him about how him and Alexa met. Dean instructs him to tell her that they met at Alexa's work, however "Dick" disagrees and tells them that the pair met on Tinge off-script ("Dick's long response time and act of visibly talking to himself is also noted during this time). Next Mr Wilson asks "Dick" about his job, and "Dick" goes off-script once more and tells him the truth, however it paints him a negative picture. This then leads him into going into his failed love life and eventual accident, which leaves all of the Wilson family (and Anthony) visibly uncomfortable. Dean ends up squeezing his microphone at certain points in response to "Dick's" answers, leaving "Dick" in visible pain.
"Dick" continues to have an awkward conversation with Mr Wilson as Savannah manages to insult Alexa once more. She then professes herself as "bored" and encourages Anthony to have a shower with her. While he appears confused at first, he eventually agrees. In the bathroom, Dean appears to finally give up at guiding "Dick" as Savannah and Anthony enter the bathroom insulting Alexa. Dean begins to panic and attempts to find a way out of the shower without getting caught. Savannah and Anthony eventually end up kissing each other as Savannah (with her back turned) manages to turn the shower on with Dean still inside it. He responds by screaming, causing Savannah and Anthony to stop kissing in shock. Dean manages to turn the shower off and leave the room with a confused Savannah following closely behind him.
Back at the dinner table, Victoria instructs "Dick" that he had a piece of food on his mouth. As "Dick" goes to wipe it off, his fake moustache ends up coming off with it. The family begins to grow confused before Savannah interrupts the session by presenting Dean to the table. As everyone appears shocked, Alexa eventually explains her original plan to her family and the reasoning behind it. Dean also defends her at one point, and Alexa promises to tell the truth to her family in the near future. Mr Wilson appears relieved also, however Dean offers to explain himself first. As the situation turns more awkward, Alexa encourages Dean and Reuben to leave. As Alexa goes out to leave, Savannah sticks out her leg causing Alexa to trip over. As Alexa questions her about why she did it, Savannah mentions that she always seemed to get into a fight every time they saw each other. Victoria soon interrupts this claim by telling her that it was her that always got into a fight with Alexa, causing the two to get into a food fight with one another. Reuben appears to regret his sexuality for a little bit before they all agree to leave the dinner.
During the closing credits, Dean, Alexa and Reuben arrive home in Dean's car and share a discussion in it. Reuben apologises for his missteps, which Alexa and Dean appear to immediately forgive him for. He then leaves them to go inside the house by wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving. As Reuben leaves, Alexa and Dean share a sentimental conversation about the night, resulting in the pair kissing and wishing each other a Happy Thanksgiving also. Alexa then leaves the car herself as Dean watches her and smiles. Once she's out of sight, he opens the glove compartment in his car and pulls out a ring box with a set of promise rings inside of it. He stares at the rings for a little while before exclaiming "maybe one day" while blushing to himself.
