- Plot
The Thanksgiving Story is the second 2 part Thanksgiving episode of Providence that debuted on NBC on November 24, 2000.
When Robbie generously obliges a beggar's plea for food, instead of waiting for an omelet the apparent scumbag takes off with his benefactor's wallet and keys, yet stops when Robbie hurts his head chasing and claims it wasn't him, the police threw him out- indeed, a careful colleague found his things, so Robby brings food to the shelter and offers grumpy Dwayne, who plays guitar, a gig at O'Neill's, only to have it refused. Jim gets a circus's confused chimpanzee Danny and is railroaded into attending his overbearing suitor Cynthia Blake's Thanksgiving party, while none of the family is up to it anyhow. Syd is invited at John's grand family feast, makes a fine first impression on his ma Constance Hemming and gets Social Services officer Alex's permission to put up apparently abandoned girl Anchee for a week. The Hemmings family discretely donates an EMG and Chinatown P.I. Simon Chang... Burt proposes a place to Joanie to move into together and shouts a fancy restaurant, where he clearly doesn't tolerate noisy children... Dwayne turns up, but insists he must have his own guitar back, pawned for $800, beyond Robbie's means to advance, so he rents one- a waiter recognizes his artistic playing... Jim figures out the ape uses sign-language, to say he's called Rocket and home-sick...
Robbie's protégé Dwayne not only bail out again after telling how badly he misses his late wife, he's the police's only suspect for the theft of his guitar from the pawnshop; Robbie sells his comics, Dwayne accepts to sing at the family Thanksgiving. Joanie feared announcing her pregnancy would have chased Burt, but he stays. Chimpanzee Rocket's last revealed talent, painting, allows identifying his training center, so he can be reunited with his handler after two years. The Hemming money allows Chinatown P.I. Simon to find Anchee's parents by posting a reward; ma Constance's influence also gets the hospital finally to offer Syd a surgeon's job, but she refuses it and even tells John to take distance from ma's influence or they're through....
