23. Glee

Episode: Season 4, Episode 8, “Thanksgiving”

What’s on the menu: By the fourth season of Glee, a hot mess was always on the menu, so it’s no surprise that the show’s first celebration of Thanksgiving was nothing short of a hot mess — in the best way possible, of course. Many of the New Directions had graduated and moved on, but a number of them returned to Lima for Thanksgiving and helped new glee club director Finn mentor the fresh crop of New Directions. But Rachel and Kurt truly throw the Thanksgiving party to remember in New York City.

On their first Thanksgiving on their own, Rachel and Kurt are going through the relationship wringer, as Kurt’s broken up from Blaine and Rachel’s patching things up with Brody. But leave it to Sarah Jessica Parker to relieve them of their woes. Parker’s Isabelle Wright joins Rachel and Kurt for the holiday, inviting dozens of her own friends and performing a mash-up of “Let’s Have a Kiki” and “Turkey Lurkey Time.” Thankfully, Glee was never subtle.

Why we’re thankful for it: “Thanksgiving” didn’t just give us the return of tried and true New Directions and an unforgettable kiki, but it was also notable for featuring a sectionals competition. The new New Directions perform “Gangnam Style,” which we’ll forgive Finn for now, but like… really? Beside that puzzling song choice, Marley collapses during their performance, and it’s one of the more shocking mishaps the glee clubs experiences during sectionals. Honestly, though, we’re most thankful Sarah Jessica Parker singing “Let’s Have a Kiki” is something that exists.
