Locked Out and Left Behind, Blake’s Thanksgiving of Betrayal

After a disastrous Thanksgiving, Blake’s indignation spirals into a weekend of righteous defiance. Brenda’s departure leaves him feeling betrayed, and his subsequent decision to change the locks on their house symbolizes his need to reclaim control over his “Winchester Home of Freedom.” As he reflects on the holiday debacle, Blake becomes increasingly isolated, convinced his family’s inability to appreciate his Donald Trump commemorative plates is a sign of moral failure.

Amid the chaos, a single bright spot emerges: Brenda’s sister, Brittini. Blake fixates on her polite demeanor during dinner, misinterpreting her simple nods and smiles as signs of a deeper connection. He begins texting her Trump memes in an attempt to foster their bond, despite her lukewarm responses. By the end of the weekend, Blake is fully convinced Brittini is playing “hard to get” and might be the only person who truly understands him. Meanwhile, Brenda’s absence becomes both a source of freedom and an excuse for Blake to double down on his misguided crusade, setting the stage for even greater chaos to come.
