Starr apologizes to Marty for what she went through at the hands of her father. Starr admits that although she loves her father very much she is remorseful that he hurt Marty the way he did.

Adriana is furious when she discovers that her mother invested in her and Layla's new business venture. Layla tries to convince Adriana that whether they like it or not they could use the money that Dorian has put up. Adriana argues that Dorian only invested in the company as a way to control Adriana's life. Layla suggests that maybe Dorian is trying to make up for her mistakes. Adriana shares with Layla some of Dorian's dastardly deeds and informs her that they will have to find money somewhere else. Rex runs after Adriana while Layla calls Evangeline to tell her about her non-date fun with Nash. Evangeline shares with Layla the details of the encounter she and Cris had with Vincent Jones where Cris warned him to stay away from Natalie and then shared with him that Layla was out on a date. Layla wonders how the encounter ended and Evangeline tells her that Vincent took off when he was told that one of his warehouses on the docks was on fire.
Vincent wants to file a report with the police department; his building burned to the ground and Ted was inside, dead. It's arson and murder, plain and simple and he wants an investigation. He purchased the building to convert it to lofts and there was plenty of work done inside, without incident. He has no idea why Ted was there or what happened. Antonio is leery and Cris suggests that perhaps Vincent did it himself, for the insurance money. Vincent is angry at their reactions and tosses it back, accusing Cris of committing the crime. His insurance policy lapsed because he couldn't afford it; there is no insurance money to be collected. It will take awhile for the fire department to investigate the cause of fire, Antonio offers.
John awakens to find Natalie sitting at his bedside. He admits he's in great pain but it'll be worth it to be able to get out of the hospital. No way, she replies. The skin grafts have to take first. This is the beginning of an argument, not only with Nat, but also with the nurse who comes by with medication. Natalie reads him the riot act and John finally relents, taking his pills. Vincent stops by, with the premise that he was looking for someone to talk to, that someone being Hugh in the past. He tells John about the fire and McBain realizes that his help is wanted. Vincent wants him to persuade Antonio to take him seriously and if the police don't do their work, he'll find out what happened by himself. In fact, he may get help from a certain redheaded forensics tech, he states, watching for a reaction from John. The detective actually has no problem with Vincent's asking Natalie for help because she knows how to read people, including him. They talk about their dads briefly and Vincent mentions how he had a father figure who used to take him around on his jobs across Llanview. John suggests the fire could have had to do with those activities. They agree they have something in common; they don't divulge much. Nat returns to the room and Vincent quickly leaves. He and John have more in common than he thinks, Vincent mutters.
Spencer's surgery is not going very well and Michael wants to try an experimental drug that he and Spencer had been working on. The other doctor is quite reluctant, citing Michael's personal feelings towards the patient. Michael takes offense over his integrity being challenged and orders the nurse to get the vial. He administers the drug and Spencer's surgery is successful. Michael is sorry and would have been happy if he had failed. Out in the hallway friends and family are gathered to hear news of Blair and Spencer. Bo relents and allows Todd to stay when Marty intercedes on his behalf. Todd learns from Dorian that Blair is indeed pregnant with his child, and he and Starr head for the chapel. He tells Starr that he doesn't "do prayer" so she does double duty. She believes her father when he tells her he didn't push the others from the roof. A depressed Adriana (upset because her mother is trying to buy her back) arrives with Rex. Marty tells Cole that she thinks Todd could be capable of anything, including pushing Spencer and Blair from the rooftop. In Blair's operating room, doctors work to save the baby, who appears to be in distress, while Blair seems to be stabilized. Cole refuses to leave without making sure that Starr is ok.

After, Cris encountered a young man walking around outside in the cold without a coat. He got the kid a coat then made a plan to help the less fortunate.
Nora and Evangeline dined out together at Capricorn. Vangie told her that she wants to do something special for Cris. Nora suggested she ask Cristian to marry her, but Evangeline didn't think it was the right time for that.... Vangie, Lindsay, Michael and Marcie later joined him in the Square to help Cris with his project ... which turned out to be them entertaining the crowd by singing holiday songs. Cris and Michael proudly looked on as Marcie and Evangeline performed a popular tune. Portrayers Renee Goldsberry (Evangeline) and Kathy Brier (Marcie) were obviously having a good time with this as they laughed and joked around.
Claudia ran into Nash at the bar. Jessica, who'd been Christmas shopping, then spied them together and stopped by to say hello.

Bo and Clint paid Spencer a visit at the hospital. Clint told him that he's glad Truman isn't a Buchanan, while Bo warned him that he's "through".... Todd paced in the waiting room, hoping to hear something about Blair's condition. He called the board of directors and screamed at them for not giving him information. Marty overheard and chided him for being out of control. Todd explained that Blair just got out of surgery. He admitted that he'd been held by the cops over his encounter with Spencer, and blamed Marty for setting the whole incident into motion. He then called Cole a drug addict. He soon calmed down and said that with Spencer not having to stand trial, he now understands how Marty must've felt when he was pardoned for the rape. Paige then emerged and gave him the sad news that while Blair was in stable condition, she lost the baby. Todd was understandably devastated.
Dorian was thrilled when Rex and Adriana stopped by on Christmas, but Adriana still wasn't so willing to forgive her. Later on Carlotta, Cristian and Evangeline paid a visit. Dorian pleaded with Cris to talk to Adriana for him, but he was uncomfortable doing it. Carlotta invited Dorian to spend the holiday with them, but she turned her down.

Jessica returned it to Nash and told him she can't accept it. He told her to open it and there was a picture of Bree inside. Antonio came by and made a toast. Viki and Clint smooched under the mistletoe.
At the hospital, Natalie, Marcie, Michael and Tommy gave John a Christmas party in his room. Marcie put her foot in her mouth when she asked to see the engagement ring that John had given Natalie...when he hadn't actually done so. Nat covered nicely by stating that her present was seeing John get well. The brothers wished their mom could be with them, but she was on another cruise. Michael admitted that he'd been one of the doctors to save Spencer's life. John understood that his brother was just doing his job. Michael confessed that he'd been tempted to "slip up." John said he's planning to "put an end" to Spencer by going back to work and doing what he can to put Truman back in prison. Marcie worried that if Spencer gets the death penalty, Todd will never learn where his son is.
Natalie joined her family at Llanfair. She then returned to the hospital and stopped by to see Spencer. He wondered if Nat was planning to kill him. She wasn't; she just wanted to taunt him a little. She and John then exchanged gifts. He gave her a date book with "dinner at the Palace" marked off. He hinted that would be when he proposes.
Cristian and Vangie celebrated in private. Evangeline began to panic when she thought he was going to propose. He then teased her by asking what she'd do if he did ask her to marry him. She gave him a thoughtful gift meant to appeal to the artist in him. He was very touched.
Viki urged Adriana to give Dorian a break on the holiday. Adriana took her advice and returned to Dorian's, where she and her mom embraced.
