Sharon’s sorry she hasn’t done anything for Christmas. The drugs and guilt are behind her – we should do something. We’ve got a couple of hours, Nick points out.
Phyllis pulls up a chair to hear that there’s new evidence that changes things. The police might reopen the investigation, Mike adds that Chance might even send a squad car to protect Daniel. Stop focusing on Sharon. Like hell, Phyllis leaves.
Nick returns with a Christmas tree and Tessa’s there and happy for Sharon. We need to celebrate every moment, Sharon receives more hugs.
Cole hands out appropriate gifts – a first edition book of poetry for Nikki and a signed copy of Mohamed Ali’s autobiography. The four Newmans are all smiles.
Delighted to hear that her grandparents have bought her a horse for Christmas, Claire’s looking at pics with Victor as Cole tells Nikki that he’s starting to believe in Christmas miracles.
Sharon places the first ornament on the tree – a guardian angel (Cassie) When she goes up to get more decorations, Nick and the girls are glad that Sharon’s doing better.
Well, that didn’t go well, Mike quips. Lauren just wants to shake Phyllis sometimes. She hopes Phyllis ‘takes pause’. Mike doubts that.
The tree now decorated, Phyllis drops by. Of course you’re here, she sneers at Nick – then walks in to ask what the hell Sharon’s up to.
3, 2, 1 – Victor turns the tree lights on. Too bad my Mom’s sick, Claire comments before the foursome wish each other Merry Christmas.
Everyone agrees that Phyllis should be with her family. Nope – and she’ll spend the rest of her life making sure Sharon’s held accountable. I was wrong – I didn’t kill Heather, Sharon announces.
