Patience holds a friendsgiving party at Layla's house, inviting Spencer, Coop, Jordan, Simone, and Olivia along. Meanwhile, Jordan is anxious when Coach Montes doesn't pick him for the Eagles' final game before the playoff, Grace has a date with Carter, and Laura and Billy decide whether to come to Jordan's wedding with Simone.
Tropes featured in this episode:
- Amicable Exes: Averted. Although Layla says that she no longer hates Spencer, she needs time before they can be back as friends again.
- Gone Horribly Right: Jordan's advice to J.J. ends up motivating him to ace the second half. This causes Coach Montes to pick him for the playoff, meaning Jordan is benched yet again.
- Parental Marriage Veto: Laura is still not happy that Jordan is adamant about the wedding. With some convincing from Billy, however, she eventually gives her blessing.
- Parent with New Paramour: Dillon makes no attempt to hide his hostility towards Carter for dating his mom. This is mainly because he fears that when Spencer moves out for college, Carter will become the man of the house.
- Reconcile the Bitter Foes: Patience invites Spencer, Coop, Layla, and Olivia specifically so they will sort their issues out. While Spencer and Coop mend ties, as do Olivia and Layla, it may take some more time before Spencer and Layla can fix their relationship.
- Relationship Sabotage: The ending shows that Carrie is sabotaging Layla's friendship with Olivia by keeping them apart from each other.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: While Layla herself doesn't mind, many characters question why Carrie is still crashing at her house. At the end, it's shown she really doesn't want to move out, despite previous episodes revealing that her mom has been trying to contact her.
