[edit] Synopsis

A widowed Mrs. Garrett is heading back to America on a cruise ship, ready for a new life and also looking forward to seeing her "girls" again, all of whom have grown into successful, independent women:

• Blair is married to Tad Warner and together they have built a hotel empire, Warner Enterprises; they have no children.
• Tootie, now preferring to be called by her real name, Dorothy, is the host of her own talk show, "Wake Up with Dorothy," and a widow and the mother of a 10-year-old girl.
• Natalie is a dedicated TV news producer juggling an active love life with a frenetic work schedule that takes her all over the world.
• Jo is a devoted police officer who is still married to Rick and the mother of a teenage daughter.

Natalie has talked all the girls and Mrs. Garrett into spending the Thanksgiving holiday together back in Peekskill, NY. When Jo is unable to attend the reunion, her teenage daughter, Jamie, comes instead in her absence. Trouble soon starts when Natalie receives two different marriage proposals, so it's up to the girls to help solve Natalie's predicament. Over the course of the holiday, the girls reveal to one another the personal troubles they face in their adult years and discover that, despite the time that has passed, they need each other's friendship more than ever.
