Add Dejas birth mother, Shauna, to the list of guests to this impending Thanksgiving Feast of Awkward.

Beth says okay with her mouth, but definitely says This is a horrible idea with her eyes.

Could you even imagine?

Even with Beths whole Take the popcorn, Malik shtick, Randall would be 300 times worse.
