The Thanksgiving Story (1)

An Thanksgiving begegnet Sydney einem kleinen chinesischen Mädchen, das seine Eltern sucht. Sie entschließt sich, der Kleinen zu helfen. Doch die Suche ist kompliziert, denn das Mädchen könnte illegal eingewandert und dabei von ihren Eltern getrennt worden sein. Deswegen bringt Sydney sie erst mal im Haus der Hansens unter. John ist davon gar nicht begeistert.

Syd meets John Hemming's mom and later learns Mrs. Hemming doesn't like Syd. Syd takes in a little girl who leaves the hospital to find her parents. Robbie gives a homeless man a chance to money. Mrs. Hemming doesn't like Syd's way of helping people. Jim takes care of a monkey who scratches his head and uses sign language to talk. Joanie wonders if she is pregnant again. Jim buys a sign language dictionary and learns that Rocket (the monkey) is ill & asks for help. Susan Fuller comes by to help Jim & Heather to understand why he scratches his head. Susan Fuller tells them Rocket is homesick.
