Patrick is excited to have his hard-to-please mother, Rosalyn, meet his famous girlfriend during the Thanksgiving holiday. But when Rosalyn shocks Alex by telling her to break it off with her son, Alex decides to win her over by preparing Thanksgiving dinner herself — which could prove to be a daunting task since she doesn't know how to cook.

After agreeing to only spend up to $100 on each other for Christmas, Patrick is stunned when Alex surprises him with the key to a brand new sports car. For her part, Alex is speechless when Patrick's gift includes a key to his apartment, and Stevie discovers a newfound popularity with the ladies when he dresses up in a Santa suit.
