THE HANK'S GIVING EPISODE
Plans for a Thanksgiving getaway go awry when foul weather leaves everyone stranded at the airport. Hoping to end a long-standing dispute with Peggy's mom over the tastiness of a propane-cooked turkey, Hank packs up the family for a Montana Thanksgiving. Everyone, it seems, has a reason to head to the airport. Bill, knowing he'll be left alone over the holiday, makes up a story about picking up his uncle so he can drive the Hills. Boomhauer plans to visit his mom in Miami. Dale and Nancy are dropping off Red Corn. Even Kahn is flying his family out of town. Hank pre-cooks the turkey and plans to carry it, along with a spare propane tank, onto the flight. However, security forces him to leave the propane behind in an airport locker. Bad weather soon delays their flight, but Hank tries to keep the family's spirits up. Finally, a brief break in the weather allows them to board. Unfortunately, the box carrying the turkey does not meet carry-on requirements and Hank reluctantly checks it with the baggage. As he watches from his window seat, Hank sees his beloved turkey left on the tarmac. Suddenly, it is surrounded by the bomb squad and detonated into a million little turkey chunks. As if that weren't enough, a new storm rolls in and the flight is promptly cancelled. Now, all bets are off! Hank discovers a new flight leaving from the other side of the airport and tricks another family in order to steal their spot on the transfer bus. But he can't go through with his scheme and sacrifices his own trip so that the strangers can make it. Gathered around a small table in the terminal, the despondent Hills meet up with their friends who are also grounded, and Bill who drove back to the airport when he heard all flights were cancelled. Realizing there is still plenty to be thankful for, they pool their various snack foods, retrieve Hank's propane tank from the locker and cook up the best airport Thanksgiving ever.
