In the episode, Gene and Louise decide to sabotage the annual Thanksgiving play to save their long weekend, but Tina provides her fan fiction as the subject matter, leading the kids to work on their own version.
Louise manages to convince Tina and Mr. Frond to let them run the play by making the latter the producer, and they get Jimmy Jr., Zeke, Tammy, and Jocelyn as the cast.
However, Gene's comment on something happening in the red light gets Louise to come up with an idea, and manages to grab turkey giblets and gizzards from a local butcher shop, and an air compressor from Teddy.
Tina's song becomes a hit with the audience, and while Gene and Louise know that they might have lost their half day by cleaning up their mess, they decide that it was worth it.
Club gave the episode a "B+" and wrote that "that speaks to how all the Belchers function: sometimes as a bridge to us in the audience, but mostly just there to support their equally silly loved ones.
