This interest me : ''and if nothing else to be ready when he returned so that he could then drop him off at his friends house.''
Do we know that MR said he would take him to his friends later? All I really heard was he slept in, thus missing his ride. I was not aware that anyone said the ride would take place later. I say this because I live in the sticks and I'm pretty anal about doing all my 'errands' in one outing. If I go out, I'm doing it all then. If you want a ride to a friend's house then you go when I go because once I get back home, I will not " HAPPILY" go out again. This totally aggravates my 14 yr old but she knows that's how it is. " can we just get back out later'' is something she doesn't bother to ask anymore.
So could MR have said , ' if you don't get up now, you're ' missing' your ride' meaning this is the only time I'm going to drive that long way? Point being when Dylan woke up he might have known he blew it by sleeping in . So now it's up to him to find a ride to his friends' house OR stay home . Ponderings.
Yes. DR was supposed to go spend some days with his buds.
Here's the transcript and the video of MR talking to the reporter about DR, friends, T'day plans, etc.

R: Can you tell me about your plans for Thanksgiving?
M: Well, because he was with me for such a short period of time, we had touched on a few things. One of the things was we talked about going to my brother David's house in Castle Rock. Um, I know his friends were important to him so we were wanting to make sure he had adequate time with his friends. Um, you know basically the plan was Monday and Tuesday he would spend with his friends. Maybe Wednesday, you know we had talked a little bit about going bowling or doing something as an activity, not with just me and him, his friends included. Then we would have Thanksgiving day to ourselves. Or there was a possibility we would travel and get to my brother's house. So, you know, none of that ever got finalized. I mean, we were just focusing on the next day and what we were going to do and how that was going to take place. That's as far as we really ever got. You know, his friends are important to him and I certainly don't expect him to spend a whole week with me when he's got, he's grown up in this community and he's got tons of people who love and care about him.

ETA: That's why his stuff was packed. IMO.
