## Summary

On Thanksgiving Day, Tilly is making a centerpiece for Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Cricket is in the kitchen with Nancy while cooking Thanksgiving dinner, while Gramma watches the Big City Thanksgiving Day Parade and a football game on TV.

While Travis, Paul, Terry, and Tony arrive and assemble at the table, Tilly brings in her carefully-crafted centerpiece and proudly presents it. Cricket brings in the turkey, and he complains that the centerpiece is "taking up real value estate" for the turkey (meaning that the centerpiece was taking up space). Cricket and Tilly descend into chaos, causing the centerpiece to get thrown into the fireplace and quickly burn to a cinder. The siblings are then separated by Bill and Nancy. Tilly runs to the room in tears and an angry Bill and Nancy send Cricket to his room without Thanksgiving dinner and strictly tell him that he ruined Thanksgiving.

After Nancy consoles Tilly, she sternly tells Cricket that if he can give Tilly a genuine apology in front of everyone and mean it, he can come downstairs to dinner. Cricket refuses, stubbornly insisting that he didn't do anything wrong, and Tilly is to blame. Scoffing at the directive and thinking that he doesn't have to take his punishment, he decides to teach his family a lesson by moving to Spain. However, Gramma scolds Santa's Little Helper and confines him outside when he tries to eat some of the turkey, and Cricket decides to take Phoenix with him.

Cricket and Phoenix went to Remy's Mansion to borrow one of his suitcase and telling him that he is moving to Spain.

Later, Matia interviews Cricket, where he mocks his family and refuses to offer an apology. The family sees the report on TV, and Bill immediately calls the police. When the police failed to locate him, Bill and Nancy regret saying nasty remarks that drove him away.

As Cricket exits the shelter, one of the Cats asks Cricket if he's got a home. Cricket says yes and seeing how the cats need the money more than he does, offers the money he got from his blood donation to the cats. Remorseful, Cricket realizes how he has more than the Cats with whom he shared Thanksgiving and so chooses to return home. However, once he arrives home, Cricket considers what his folks might say to him. He imagines himself being greeted warmly and offering an apology, only to be scornfully mocked and laughed at in his face as he grovels an apology, then begin to blame him for everything (Bill losing his Finger, Gramma being old, Saxon being Ragged, and Rabbit And Cat for making Jordan lose its spirit). Cricket assumes that he shouldn't have came back and goes on top of the roof.
