Jack takes money from the tip jar and bets it on a horse race; Suzanne gives Santa Claus a pep talk before he appears in the Thanksgiving Day parade; Michael and Gaby concoct stories about their careers to tell their families.

Gaby is offered a kitchen job, but she claims to have a counteroffer in a production of ""South Pacific"" with Florence Henderson (who appears as herself). Meanwhile Suzanne is pleasantly surprised when the child from a third-world country that she's been supporting turns out to be rather mature.
