Gina takes over Joey's new house for her traditional (and slightly crazy) Thanksgiving celebration. Howard thinks Joey's coming to his house for Thanksgiving, because Joey doesn't like giving people bad news during the holidays. Joey meets one of his new neighbors (Dean), who invites him to his "Bachelor Thanksgiving". Joey and Zach find ancient Indian pottery on his lot and try unsuccessfully to hide it from the Native American Historical Society, who might delay his contruction permit. He donates some of it to a church and has to retrieve it from a needy family.
