Last week was the Thanksgiving episode of “Lipstick Jungle.” Wendy was fixated on preparing a local meal, with all the ingredients coming from withing 100 miles. Of course now TV Thanksgiving is complete without complete and utter chaos.

Shane’s manager’s dog decided to up and die, so he spent the whole episode consoling her and trying to find someone to take the dog, but everything was closed. They went to bury it in Central Park, only to get into trouble with the law. I wasn’t a fan of this, mainly cause it seemed the poor doggie’s death was being used by the manager to try and get into Shane’s pants. Is the man totally clueless that this girl is hot for him?

Dahlia showed back up in Victory’s life, bringing her a client. A man needed a wedding dress for his bride to be. She designed one, but was shocked when the bride showed up. She was a full figured gal, not who Victory normally designs for. Dahlia and Victory however made things work and made a beautiful dress for her, helping her with some self esteem issues. Dahlia had a personality transplant in this episode, admitting she had been a total bitch and was sorry. I liked this story most of all because the message behind the client and the dress was really great. Plus it was nice that they had Victory doing a dress for someone who wasn’t a twig. I also actually liked Dahlia in this episode, she was funny and likable!

The final story involed Nico and Kirby, who ended up with baby Charlie for the night. The baby mama had to go home for the holidays, her family didn’t know about the baby and she wanted to break it to them. No surprise, she abandoned the kid with them and wasn’t planning on coming back. Having the baby spoke to Nico’s maternal instincts, and she was thinking about trying to adopt him if possible. When Kirby found out, he was pissed. He was fine babysitting for the night, but that was it. He felt betrayed that Nico kept the fact that the girl wasn’t coming back from him, she had known for a few hours when she got a call from her. This story I felt didn’t make too much sense to me. Kirby spent the whole episode being great with Charlie, as well as Wendy’s kids. So for him to at the end do such an about face and almost be like “Oh hell no, I don’t want kids, can’t stand them” was odd. They seem to be doing everything they can to make Kirby a jerk and ruin his relationship with Nico. On a side note, watching Wendy’s daughter lust after Kirby the whole episode was hilarious!
