At Ed and Maureen's, a pregnant Nola is hiding out, from Quint, after learning that Quint paid Vanessa to be nice to her. Quint begs her to come home and to Henry and Vanessa's for dinner, and Nola agrees but only after having a memorable fight with Mo's muffins. Nola brings to Vanessa's Thanksgiving a group from a retirement home, making Vanessa none to happy. Lesley Anne isolates herself, in her apartment, after she was dumped by Warren. Lesley Anne tries to commit suicide, after calling home to her parents and finding out they are having a huge celebration. Floyd and Katie find Lesley Anne nearly dead from the sleeping pill overdose. Warren isn't too thrilled to see the party that Kelly and Claire have planned for the patients at Cedars. Hillary, Mike, Bea, Annabelle and Tony spend the day with Ed and Mo. Phillip is pining away for Beth, and somehow is able to refrain from calling her, as she had asked him to. Mindy brings a basket of dinner for Phillip down to the horse stables. Meanwhile, at the Raines household, Bradley is a tyrant towards both Beth and Lillian. Beth refuses to say the grace that Bradley is forcing her to say, and threatens her with a knife and also hauls off and hits her across the face. See less
