The show's main graphic (shown at top) alludes to a figure in Raphael's Sistine Madonna.
With Thanksgiving around the corner, the first without Allison's and Brad's mother, Amy, channeling a suggestion from Allison's mother, decides to help the Fullers liven up the holiday with an alternative get-together called "Funsgiving" at a bar.
