Trevor and Logan are at a grocery store with Jesse, buying some food items.
Logan: (heaving a sigh) I feel so bad that you and my sister Zoey broke up for a week now.
Trevor: (clarifies) We're on a break; we didn't break up. And how is it so bad for you?
Logan: Because you always give me, Jesse, and Zoey. While Mikey used to be my ride or die (mutters), literally [laugh track].
Trevor: (smiles) Wow, bro. I'm inspired.
Logan: No, seriously. You are amazing at driving. And when I mean Mikey was my ride or die, it was either he drove you safely or he die didn't [laugh track]. (He puts a bag of chips in the trolley cart)
Trevor: (turns to Logan) Do you mind if I visit and talk with her?
Logan: I wouldn't if I were you. She'd lose her mind [laugh track]. But I know my sister; I'm sure she's doing something productive with Tracy and Jesse at home to try and get better...
(Meanwhile, in the Hilson's home, Zoey is dressed in her pyjamas and lying on the couch like someone who has lost all hope in life. She sprays some whipped cream in her mouth while eating a bunch of fries. On the other hand, Jesse is only watching her with concern) [laugh track].
Jesse: Miss Zoey, I hate to see you like this. You sound like Danny when he's depressed and not in a good way [laugh track].
Zoey: But what is the point? When life gives you lemons, it means they'll make your life sour than it already is.
Jesse: (wonders for a while) That is not how they say it. And for some reason, you're right [laugh track].
Tracy: (walks in with a jug of lemonade) Hey, I just decided to make good use of the lemons that life threw at me. (She pours some into a glass cup) And dare I say, the lemonade is amazing.
Jesse: (shrugs) Well, Zoey doesn't really like lemonades of life.
Tracy: No, really, Zoey. You will LOVE this! There's a store down the street called Fruity Life that makes fruit juice, smoothies, and salads. You should try it.
Zoey: I already did, and look what it made me do. I'm like my brother now [laugh track].
Jesse: (rolls his eyes) OK, can we not roast Liam anymore? It's getting old.
Tracy: But isn't that the point?
Zoey: Logan can be a bit of a drama king. You know that.
Jesse: (gasps dramatically) Don't drag me into this. But you're right; that is an undeniable fact [brief laugh track].
Tracy: (turns to Zoey) But now, you are doing what he would do in such a situation. You have to work things out with Trevor. And fast!
Zoey: (exhales) But what's the catch to this? He started this.
Tracy: (scrolling on her phone) And the Internet is starting a rumour. (She hands her phone to Zoey, who reads a particular caption).
Zoey: (reading) What Is the Fate of The Zoey Hilson & Trevor Hart Drama? (reads more) cheating, drama, lies. (She looks at Tracy) There's a hashtag of our names? #Zevor?!
Tracy: Yup, it's better than getting involved with Zikey. That's a YIKES territory [laugh track].
Zoey: (sits upright) You're right. I'm going to work things out with Trevor and not let some Thanksgiving drama ruin everything. (Logan walks in with the groceries).
Logan: (hurriedly drops the items on the table) Zoey, we need to talk. As the bigger person, which I am [laugh track], I'll advise you to girl up and talk with Trevor. He's ready to talk, and you're both miserable without each other.
Zoey: (smiles as she stands up) I'm going to work things out with Trevor.
Logan: (exhales as he hugs Zoey) Oh, good. Because the tension between you two is killing me [laugh track].
Tracy: I hate to agree with him, but he's right. Get out there and get him back!
Logan: (releases himself from hugging Zoey and turns to Tracy) Also, can you all not roast me like that? It's getting old [brief laugh track].
Jesse: That's the same thing I said [laugh track]

Later that evening...
Logan is watching TV with Tracy in the living room. The door opens to show Zoey and Trevor walking in and chatting happily.
Tracy: (faces the two) Look, Logan. Seems like the Zevor train is back on the tracks [laugh track].
Zoey: (hugging Trevor) And you're not wrong [applause track].
Logan: Honestly, I'm very happy for you.
Trevor: (smiling) Thanks, Logan.
Logan: No, seriously, I'm very happy that you did not waste my money for nothing. That's 500 dollars worth of a restaurant date and reunion [laugh track].
Tracy: (wonders) Why does that sound so familiar?
Trevor: (shrugs) Probably from a TV show.
Everyone: (agrees) True [laugh track].
Tracy: How did you settle everything?
Zoey: We just sat -
Trevor: And talked.
Zoey: Apologized.
Trevor: We made fun of Mikey.
Zoey: You know Mikey has been pretty self-absorbed lately, and I didn't see it [laugh track].
Logan: Yeah, you never do. But when I don't see it, y'all start to roast me for it.
Trevor: Really, ladies. Get over the roasting; it's starting to get old [laugh track].
Tracy: Glad that's over. Now, do you mind? We're in the middle of a soap opera.
Logan: Matthew is about to propose to Becky, even though she already cheated on him with Hudson.
Tracy: It's about to go down! (Faces Zoey and Trevor) Really, though, this proposal is going down [brief laugh track].
Zoey: (wonders for a while) I'm sorry, is there something we're interrupting?
Logan: Yes, the movie we're watching. Quit it already [laugh track].
Tracy: (scoffs) You guys should go into the room and get comfy or something, would you mind?
Trevor: (turns to Zoey) Oh, I see it now. Zoey, we have to leave them so they can get comfy together.
Zoey: Just don't get too comfy on the couch (both Logan and Tracy glare at Trevor and Zoey) [brief laugh track].
Logan/Tracy: Ewww [laugh track].
Zoey: OK, if you say so (the two walk toward the kitchen while Logan and Tracy continue to watch TV. Jesse walks out of the living room holding his math textbook).
Logan: Hey, big guy. What's the issue?
Jesse: Mr. Liam, I have to tell you something really important.
Tracy: That you cheated? Been there [laugh track].
Logan: (scoffs) Tracy, don't encourage him. (talks to Jesse while still watching TV) Jesse, what you did was very wrong. You have to retake the test.
Jesse: Yes, Mr Liam. But you know, since you're my teacher -
Logan: No cheating, Carmichael. What do I look like? Jessica?
Tracy: Weren't you the one who cheated on Jessica?
Logan: The point, Tracy [laugh track].
Jesse: As my teacher and technically my daddy, my other teacher said you have to sign this.
Logan: Who says that I'm your daddy?
Jesse: Miss B always thinks we're sharing you as a daddy. She says, and I quote -
Tracy: (grabs the paper) OK, Logan's kid to Jesse's daddy, can we not complete that sentence? It is so weird for that to come from an 8 year-old [laugh track].
Logan: (takes a pen from Tracy and quickly signs) Here, approved to retake the test. And please, tell your teacher that I'm yours only.
Tracy: (groans) Bleh! And I thought Jesse saying "Daddy" would be weird [laugh track].
Logan: (rolls his eyes as he looks at the camera) This is really getting old [brief laugh track]. (Jesse returns to the room as Logan and Tracy continue watching TV. The scene ends).
