Lucas accidentally kissed Sami, mistaking her for Carrie. Austin is pleasantly surprised by Carrie in the apartment, then the sibling-pairs meet in hospital. Jack gathers his courage to decide whether to return home, where all hope has been given up, then decides against it. Frankie is the one who actually knocks on the door to deliver his Christmas presents. While Alex has already spoiled the seasonal fun in his mountain cabin with Marlena, his enemies approach, bickering whether to observe legal restraint as Roman dutifully urges. Claire's time is running out unless a donor is found soon. Shawn finally interrupts his supportive service to go attend family-fun with Mimi.
