Greg's parents visit for Thanksgiving and Greg, who has tried and failed for his entire life to make them proud, is desperate to seal the deal this time. However, Katie's mother also makes an unexpected appearance, and Oliver invites Spencer Blitz to join them, though he is confined to the entryway because the rest of the house is outside the radius of his electronic monitoring device (he's under house arrest).
Creator/BarryBostwick and Julia Duffy make their only appearance as Greg's parents.
