At the Horton house, Charlotte (Olivia and Oakley Rondou) tells Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) and her brother Thomas (Cary Christopher) that she plans to “I’m going to wish for daddy to come back home,” adding weight to the already tense family gathering.
Meanwhile, at Marlena’s apartment, Tate (Leo Howard), Holly (Ashley Puzemis), Arianna (Marissa Reyes) and Aaron (Louis Tomeo) gather for a Friendsgiving-style celebration. “Here’s to friendship,” Arianna says in a toast, and the group responds, “Cheers.”
At the hospital, Belle (Martha Madison) tells Marlena (Deidre Hall), “Since you can’t come home, we thought we would bring Thanksgiving to you.”
Over at the Hernandez house, Philip (John Paul Lavoisier) reflects on the past year, saying his is “thankful for loyalty for everyone who stood by me in good times and bad,” as Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), Rafe (Galen Gering), Leo (Greg Rikaart) and Javi (Al Calderon), look on.
At the Brady Pub, Roman (Josh Taylor) leads a Thanksgiving prayer, “We thank you so much for our family, our friends, and our loved ones.” As we see his wife Kate (Lauren Koslow), Steve (Stephen Nichols), Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), Stephanie (Abigail Kline) and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) surround the table.
The promo ends with an emotional scene of Rachel resting in a hospital bed, with Brady and Tate at her side.

One fan shared, “It’s nice to see Charlotte in next week’s episode. Also, finally Rachel confesses to shooting her uncle!”
While a second user theorized, “Wondering why Rachel is in the hospital or did they do that as precaution because of her revealing she was the shooter and now the incident with Sarah they are observing her.”
With a third adding, “Watching this preview proves Jennifer & Thomas don’t care about Charlotte so won’t be watching this storyline anymore! Charlotte will dislike them in time when they take her away from her dad for good!”
