Kitty is upset when she discovers the kids have plans of their own for Thanksgiving dinner. Red ultimately guilts Eric into giving up his Styx concert tickets to stay home for the holiday. Meanwhile, Hyde prepares for the grand opening of his dad's record store and ends up clashing over business decisions with his new half sister.

W.B. officially gives Hyde and Angie the keys to the record store, and it's up to them to furnish it, decorate it, and get it open for business. Hyde sets up a listening pit in the store and gets rid of the soft rock section which makes Angie upset. She has her own business-school-inspired ideas for the store. When Angie realizes she forgot to order the record bins, Hyde says he'll take care of it, as long as his ideas get to stay. He and the gang brainstorm (in a circle) and decide to steal milk crates as record bins. Late night at a loading dock, Donna distracts a milk man while the gang steals crates. When the record store opens, W.B. is surprised to see the crates, but Hyde covers for Angie and tells W.B. it was his idea to make the store look cool. W.B. doesn't like it, but is willing to try it.

Expecting a huge crowd, Eric camps out all night to get tickets to a Styx concert on Thanksgiving. In the morning he's still the only one there for tickets. He gets them anyway. But it's Thanksgiving, and Kitty is upset that Laurie's gone, Hyde's working, and Eric is going to his concert. When she threatens not to make her yams, Red forces Eric to miss the concert and stay home for dinner. Bob joins them for dinner, which turns out to be an uncomfortable mess with Eric and Red mad at each other. Later, Red and Kitty talk to Eric about being irresponsible with no goals or ambitions. He says he's scared, he doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. They give him six months to find out or he becomes a chiropractor.

Meanwhile, Kelso keeps commenting on how pretty Angie is and in the end asks her out.
