Bringing Up Bates

The Bates head to South Carolina for their annual Thanksgiving tradition with Papa Bill and Mama Jane, and even Carlin and Josie’s boyfriends are on hand for the festivities on the farm! Now that Evan and Carlin are officially courting, will Josie and Kelton gather the courage to ask Gil and Kelly Jo’s permission to “officially court” during the trip? Meanwhile, Papa Bill recruits all the young men to help him finish building a barn, and Mama Jane enlists the help of Kelly Jo, Alyssa, Whitney, Carlin and the kids to help pick pecans and bake brownies. And Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without Mama Jane’s home cooked supper, where the family gathers around the table and gives thanks.
