Thanksgiving was going peacefully until the oven gave off a tiny smell of smoke from being cleaned. The sequence:
- "Mom-Mom" thought that Reilly saw and sniffed something outside.
- "Momma" then thought that Reilly wanted to play with "Mom-Mom".
- Then "Momma" figured out that Reilly was afraid of the smokey smell—"Mom-Mom" agreed with "Momma".
- "Auntie Michelle" had to take Reilly upstairs—and off of "Momma"'s lap—for a few moments—though not before Camille gave Reilly a kiss and comforted her.
- "Auntie Nicole" held Camille on her lap until "Mimi" came back.
- "Mom-Mom" gave Reilly a calming treat and tried to comfort her.
- Nothing but massages from "Auntie Michelle" have worked for Reilly—even being on "Momma"'s lap and anti-anxiety music haven't worked.
- Camille is wondering what's happening.
- "Auntie Michelle" now is rocking Reilly like one would rock a human baby—and actually holding Reilly over one arm is working best, and "as Auntie Michelle" is taking Reilly upstairs to fully calm her.
- Camille is looking to the hallway and turning to look at "Mom-Mom" to try to figure out what's up with Reilly, and "Mom-Mom" is reassuring Camille that "[Reilly's] okay."
