Drew gets funding from Farmer Jack for a new banquet room for the restaurant on the condition that Drew use his son Teddy as a worker. However, this results in jealousy from Corky who tries to help but causes more damage than good.

Halloween scares up bad times for all: Libby and Drew at a party; Corky at the school masquerade; and Becca at home alone.

Corky pictures the family at the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving; Drew, who opens the restaurant for the holiday, meets an old classmate who is homeless.

Tension between Becca and Drew isn't helped by the arrival of Libby's sister Gina and niece Zoe. Unfortunately, an even greater strife between the sisters lands Libby in the hospital.

Corky gets lost and wanders around the mean streets of Chicago leaving Becca and a newly single Tyler to spend a rainy, frustrated evening driving around Chicago looking for him.
