Summary: Nicole urges Austin to seal the deal and sign the papers…Carrie makes a possible life-changing decision…Jen decides to move on alone…as Frankie leaves town…John gets incriminating information about Alex.
In LA…Nicole stops Austin from calling the CEO of Highstyle and urges him to sign the papers, but he is determined to talk to the CEO first. He calls and talks to (a clearly tipsy) Becky, but Carrie isn’t there, they are having their office Christmas party. She walks in and Becky gives her the phone. She hears him say his name and ‘accidentally’ cuts him off and pretends like no one was there. Becky shoos her back to the party as she tells Becky to just put the phone on voice mail and join them. Meanwhile, Nicole continues to badger Austin, telling him that they need to buy the company now and they need to do house cleaning…starting with the CEO. He calls back and talks to Becky who takes down his name and number and says she will have the CEO call him back. After she gets off the phone, Shirley (the cleaning lady) comes in and Becky asks her to clean the office. Austin realizes he forgot to ask the CEO’s name (this is really getting ridiculous) and is going to call back but Nicole stops him. She tells him that she is sure he won’t get a call back and the CEO is incompetent. She says they need to make their move NOW, before Lucas or someone else beats them to it. Later, we see Carrie giving Becky a Christmas bonus and she is speechless. She has a gift for Carrie as well. (It looks like a Rolling Stones book or album collection, can’t tell, but it is called “40 Licks”). Becky talks about Carrie’s date with Lucas but Carrie insists it wasn’t a ‘date’. Carrie asks about the message, but when Becky searches her desk, can’t find it and realizes that Shirley must have thrown it out. Becky can’t remember the name either and says it was ‘Reese’ or something like that. Carrie tells her not to worry, if it is important, they will call back. They talk about spending Christmas with family and Becky is tired about being questioned by family members about getting married. Austin is anxious to talk to the CEO and wonders why she hasn’t called back. Nicole is still pushing him to make a decision and move quickly. He finally gives in and signs the papers as Nicole celebrates. Carrie tells Becky that she has made a decision…she is going home to Salem for Christmas and wants to see Austin, to see where they stand. Nicole makes a toast to their relationship, as Austin corrects her and says “business” relationship. He wants to get back to Salem for Christmas and goes to pack as she says to herself that in the new year, she is going to make him all hers. Carrie tells Becky that she can’t believe she is going to do this, but she can’t let Sami put him through hell again.


Jennifer continues to gather flowers but Hope tries to get her to talk about Frankie. Jen swears she doesn’t need him there to take Jack’s place. She can stand on her own two feet. She gets a bit angry with Hope and tells her that Jack was the love of her life and will always be everything to her. Hope asks if she is sure she wants Frankie to go and if she feels guilty because deep down she fears that she has feelings for him. Jen apologizes for snapping at Hope but she says it just doesn’t feel right. Hope think that in Jen’s ‘visit’ from Jack, she was hoping he would tell her to send Frankie away but he didn’t. She tells her that she shouldn’t feel guilty for being ‘unfaithful’ to Jack. Hope asks her to change her mind and ask Frankie to stay. She says she doesn’t mean romantically but as a friend. But Jen says she just lost her husband and she wants to grieve in her own way…she doesn’t want Frankie there to comfort her. She wants to spend Christmas alone with her children and her memories of Jack. She tells Hope it is over…drop it.


Back at the Church…Frankie goes over to Jen to say his goodbyes. He tells her that he knows she will be okay and apologizes for overstaying his welcome. She tells him that both she and Jack loved having him there. He tells her if she needs anything to just let him know. He says he respects her decision and she says he should just go (as tears flow). He says he hope she finds peaces and wishes her and the kids the best in the new ;year as she hugs him (crying). She wishes him a Merry Christmas as he kisses her and leaves. Jen stands alone in the church (with Jack’s picture behind her) as she cries…And the previews show…
Roman (to John): Damn it John…we have to find her. (John): I know exactly where he’s taken her…
Belle (in the chapel): Christmas is a time for miracles…God, please let me know that my daughter is going to be all right…
We see Shawn reading the Christmas story to the children at the hospital…
Abby (to Jen): Why did Daddy have to leave us now? (Jen): He IS here! (as we see Jack watching them from outside the window…is he real?...or a ghost?)…
And the credits roll
