This episode asked the age old question: Do you help a stranger in need or do you not take the risk and just ignore them? Unfortunately it also proved an age old sitcom cliche true of the woman always being right and the man always being wrong.
The King of Queens had perhaps more Thanksgiving episodes than any other show and this was as good as any of them. A fun storyline that incorporated the entire starring and recurring cast and had you guessing from the get-go. The "twist" ending could be seen coming from a mile away, but that doesn't mean it wasn't the right way to end this episode.moreless
AIRED:
It's Thanksgiving in the Heffernan household and while Carrie cooks dinner for ten people, Doug lets a stranger into the house to use the phone. He is convinced the stranger is a nice guy but Carrie is not so trusting. Everyone at dinner feels sorry for the man, who's been left outside to wait for a ride, but when Carrie finally gives into the holiday spirit, it turns out her instincts may have been right.moreless
