The Empty Gesture

Cheryl feels very much taken for granted as she prepares Thanksgiving dinner this year, especially when she gets stranded on the roof retrieving a tablecloth Jim had fashioned into a Halloween ghost ??" and no one notices her absence until she unhooks the satellite. To make amends, Jim tells her that he, Dana and Andy will prepare the holiday feast. He assumes the mere gesture will be enough, and so doesn't bother to actually make the dinner. Unfortunately, neither does Cheryl.
