Ep 9. Fried Turkey

Joan and William host a Thanksgiving dinner at their respective apartments, with both of them competing against each other to see who can cook the best turkey. Meanwhile, Lynn spends Thanksgiving with her mother in Mexico, and Toni spends the holiday with her husband's family, leaving Maya alone. Maya is initially upset but then decides to join William and Joan's dinner. However, when Maya arrives, she discovers that Joan's turkey is still raw and William's turkey is burnt. Since Maya has experience cooking for her family, she steps in to help both Joan and William, and they all work together to salvage the Thanksgiving feast. As the night goes on, tension brews between Joan and William when they accidentally touch hands while reaching for a dish. The two friends begin to feel attracted to each other, but they quickly brush it off and try to ignore their feelings. Maya, who notices their connection, tries to convince them to pursue a relationship, but Joan and William refuse. In the end, the group comes together to reflect on what they are thankful for, and Maya gives a heartfelt speech about being grateful for their friendship even during difficult times. The episode concludes with Joan and William sharing a moment on the balcony, both acknowledging the chemistry between them but deciding to keep their relationship strictly platonic.
