This episode shows how one loss can effect everybody. Pam Tanner has been gone for a few months, and it is the first one in the Tanner household without her. She was the missing piece of the puzzle that could fix anything. Without her, things will never be as good.
Danny, Jesse, and Joey work their hardest to make this year's Thanksgiving great. DJ almost completely remembers how to make a turkey, but a slight mistake in defrost time makes the whole turkey suffer. The guys try to cover it up, but won't last. Later, two girls come by not knowing their uncle's address, and they try to get their turkey.
Everything is resolved very emotionally. It shows to stick together no matter how hard or how bad things can be.
Very good episode.
