DANA DELANY ("CHINA BEACH") GUEST STARS AS THE SORELLI'S DECEASED MOTHER IN A SPECIAL THANKSGIVING EPISODE - With a family Thanksgiving planned in Ginnie (Jennifer Esposito) and Bob's (Callum Blue) loft, Ginnie, Anne (Kiele Sanchez), Marjee (Lizzy Caplan) and Rose (Laura Breckenridge) cook a traditional Sorelli dinner using all of their mother Francesca's (Dana Delany in flashback scenes) favorite recipes and can't help but reminisce about their memories of her. Meanwhile, Anne is frustrated over her feelings for Rose's classmate, Zach (guest star Andrew Keegan, "7th Heaven"), a guy she slept with in a moment of weakness, but is inarguably very much attracted to; and Renee (guest star Christine Ebersole, Tony Award winner for "42nd Street") is rushed to the hospital with a stress-induced asthma attack after Ginnie blows up at her. Brian Buckner wrote the episode directed by Lee Rose. (#107)
