David Walpert wrote this story where Ellen volunteers at a soup kitchen to prove her charitability to Ed. She bonds with another helper, Perry (a surprisingly serious Joe Flaherty), and invites him to Thanksgiving dinner. She doesn't realize that Perry is homeless, so things get very awkward. Meanwhile, Spence's mother Ferne (Kathleen Noone in the first of two appearances) visits from New York, and Spence assumes she won't like Paige. (She doesn't but is very nice to Paige to her face.) This episode is a bit heavy-handed, but I like the playing with stereotypes during the football game, with Peter and Barrett yelling at the TV, while Spence and Joe discuss pies.
