When `Mode' is forced to abandon its big Christmas photo shoot because another magazine has copied the idea, Betty forms an uneasy alliance with Marc and Amanda. The three fear they may have leaked the idea to someone at the rival mag during happy hour and that their jobs will be history if anyone finds out. Meanwhile, Daniel and Wilhelmina reluctantly work together to come up with a new photo spread.

Daniel falls in instant lust with a mysterious beauty he sees in the `Mode' lobby and asks for Betty's help in finding out the lady's identity. Meanwhile, Betty and Hilda scramble to raise cash when they get some unexpected news, and Wilhelmina must deal with an unexpected house guest: her daughter.

It's Thanksgiving Day, and everyone at Mode celebrates in their own special way. Betty is torn between work and home, Daniel attends his parents' brunch in hopes of seeing Sofia, Marc and Amanda camp out at the Mode offices, and Wilhelmina attempts to cook a turkey.
