## Plot

**SPOILERS AHEAD**
Not everything is coming easy. Gwen and Clark talk about their fake relationship, which they’re only keeping up with so they can have their own private room and bathroom. Only couples get private rooms to themselves, otherwise, they’ve got to share with others. Clark is ready to call it off, but Gwen isn’t ready for that.

Allie wakes up from a bad dream, one where the Guards turned on her, killed Will, and then shot her. She tells this to Will, as they’re starting to repair their fractured relationship. But she’s scared of what’s still going to happen in the future.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, but before they can even focus on the holiday, Will has some upsetting news: He’s retallied the food and realizes that the food they have will last them through the upcoming winter and spring, but by summer they’re going to start running out. There’s already a plan in motion for an alternative solution, and Grizz is going to lead an expedition into the woods to try and find land suitable for farming. The kids are quick to point out none of them no how to farm, but just like they’ve learned how to do everything else, they'll learn how to do this.

Kelly runs into Becca, who’s taking pictures outside. Kelly, continuing to be the best person in West Ham, has been saving half of her rations to give to Becca, since she’s the only one who’s eating for two. After asking about the father, Becca says that it’s Sam, which Kelly doesn’t fully believe, but she goes along with it. Kelly also promises Becca that she’s going to help her with the baby since she can’t do everything by herself.

There’s thankfully a medical clinic in West Ham, and Kelly pokes around there because she really is going to take on the role of nurse for Becca. For some reason, she tries the sonogram machine out on herself, and while rubbing the wand over her stomach and looking at the monitor she exclaims, “I really hope that’s supposed to be there,” and is she... suggesting she might be pregnant, too?

Kelly later brings Becca by the clinic to do an ultrasound on her, showing her the baby for the first time.

Luke awkwardly walks in on Helena while she’s trying on her mother’s wedding dress. They have a frank discussion about getting married and it’s clear that Helena wants to go through with it, but is also pretty upset her mother won’t be there. Hoping to cheer her up, Luke breaks into one of the cases in the jewelry store and picks out a ring for her. He starts talking about why he loves Helena so much and comments that she believes in him so much and he likes the way she makes him feel like he can achieve anything. Luke heads off to the church to actually propose to Helena with a pretty gaudy ring. She certainly appreciates the gesture, but “doesn’t want to wear something we couldn’t afford in the real world.” Luke has planned for this and instead pulls out a ring he’s got around his neck, giving it to her.

All of Luke’s declarations of love get Grizz thinking, as he’s got someone special like that in his life and he wants to act on his feelings.

So, off to the library, Grizz goes to talk to Sam. Grizz has secretly been learning sign language so he can talk to Sam, but Grizz accidentally learned British Sign Language, not American Sign Language. Sam can’t understand what he’s saying. It’s a cute moment between the two of them, but Sam doesn’t immediately connect that Grizz is doing this for him.

After spending a day going over farming techniques together, Grizz and Sam then sleep together.

Meanwhile, Harry is dealing with a bout of sadness and depression. The Guards go to visit him, but he refuses to get out of bed and work. This leads Allie to go and visit him, and she basically tells him that if he doesn’t get up and start working his rations are going to cut in half.

Thanksgiving is now upon us, and while everyone else is getting ready to cook and eat communally, Elle and Campbell are locked away in their house. The two of them are spending Thanksgiving together, alone, and Elle is making an entire dinner. She’s also making Campbell’s favorite, pumpkin pie — but it’s pumpkin pie, with a twist. Elle, who has suffered more than enough already, decides she’s going to take matters into her own hands and decides to pour antifreeze into the pumpkin pie in hopes of killing him.

When it’s time for dinner, Campbell isn’t that excited to actually eat what Elle’s prepared, and she suggests they start with dessert first. This is definitely exciting for him, but then Campbell changes their entire plan: What if the two of them head down to the church where everyone else is eating, and join them? Elle is adamantly against this, but Campbell is insistent, and before she can argue with him the two of them are out the door, poisoned pie in hand.

Down at the church, a Thanksgiving football match has just wrapped up and the committee for going home has a big announcement to make. They don’t know where they are, but they know where they aren’t.

Gordie and Bean take the floor and explain that the solar eclipse, helped point them in the right direction. According to Bean, the solar eclipse they saw was actually scheduled for 2024, and we’re currently in the present day right now. Everyone is quick to ask if they’ve traveled forward in time, but Gordie has an explanation for that. He believes that, well, “this Earth isn’t our own.” Some of the stars in the sky matchup, but the star Betelgeuse, part of Orion, is a few degrees off. Also, there are no satellites that they can see between Earth and the moon, so he’s suggesting they’re in a parallel universe.

This news prompts Allie to rename West Ham as New Ham, since technically they’re the first settlers here. And it’s now their first Thanksgiving.

Kelly and Will decide to meet up after Thanksgiving, breaking curfew.

But back at Thanksgiving, Elle and Campbell show up and before she can stop them, her poisoned pumpkin pie is whisked away for the dessert table. Elle sits in silence with Campbell, as she watches it from afar.
