When Scarlet arrives at her first Thanksgiving dinner as Shaun’s wife, she’s shocked to find no seat for her at the table. Instead, Shaun’s ex-girlfriend, Julissa, is sitting next to him, laughing at his jokes. Tensions rise as Scarlet confronts her mother-in-law, Angela, who insists Julissa is part of the family and doesn’t seem to care about Scarlet’s feelings.
After Shaun leaves early to help Angela set up, Scarlet is left to make the pies. When she arrives at the table, she finds that everyone is already seated, and no one saves her a chair. Feeling sidelined and hurt, Scarlet eventually sits on Shaun’s lap, causing an awkward silence. The evening ends with a tense atmosphere, and Angela later sends Scarlet a harsh text blaming her for ruining Thanksgiving.
Despite feeling betrayed, Scarlet vents online, receiving mixed support. Some agree Shaun should have stood up for her, while others suggest she should have left when no seat was offered. This leaves Scarlet wondering if she needs to have a serious conversation with Shaun and confront Angela and Julissa to avoid future conflicts.
