They should have let Alice sit at the table!!

The family gathering scene when everyone was about to eat the turkey really bugged me! They all treated Alice like an outsider then, when the fact was that Alice was more a part of the family than some of the in-laws and girlfriend who were seated there!

If there is anything TBB should teach us, it's that blood isn't always thicker than water. When it comes down to it, it's love that matters, and it's clear to me that Alice loved every single Brady! If only we all had someone in our lives as sincere and pure-hearted as Alice! It's too bad they didn't seem to show her the same affection. Letting her hide in the kitchen while they had their family meeting?! Puke! Alice is a part of that family too, and she should have been seated at the family table with the rest of them!

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!

I thought Carol told her to sit down, and Alice said "Sorry Mrs. Brady, first I serve, then I sit"

They did want her to sit with them, but she would only sit when she was done serving dinner.

The Bradys made it clear on Day One that she was still the help. Remember that Alice--their guest--came into the kitchen and watched Carol make Mike a plate of eggs before sailing off to work. Nothing for Alice, just see-ya.
