He's going to watch the guards, cameras and any other goodies. What is he going to do infiltrate as Santa? Cyrus says that's funny. Cyrus is going to get in and steal the evidence.

Josh and Reva go at it as Shayne watches. Reva can't believe that Josh just said that. Does Josh think that Reva feels the same way?

Josh agrees to back off for now but he's not backing off on Shayne getting out of that wheelchair. Reva is in tears watching Shayne and Josh.
What is wrong with her? Reva says that Josh and Shayne are so much alike that it takes Reva's breath away.
At Remy's place, He has his bags packed.
Ava says that Remy seems distracted. Remy says that he has something he has to tell Ava. Remy has a wife. He's married? Not really they are going to be getting divorced soon. Remy explains the drunken nuptials. Where did he meet his wife? At the MCATs. Christina has always wanted to be a doctor. Christina has such a passion for it. Remy wishes he had the same passion.

Ava tells Remy that he won't be going with her after all. Remy can't go now. Remy looks at Ava.
At the farmhouse, Olivia is unpacking when she finds a huge box.
She pulls it out. There are letters from Rafe to Natalia.
There is a picture of Rafe and an address to their old place in Chicago. Olivia looks at the address and has an idea.
Outside the Spaulding Mansion, Dinah says that Bill has to listen to her.
Bill says that Alan is probably in his room laughing at them. He's probably counting the days till Bill's trial and going to prison. Dinah says that Alan is cold but Bill has to look at the facts. Alan does not have a motive for kidnapping Lizzie. Alan didn't know about the car accident. He couldn't have seen that happen or Bill's memory loss. Bill says Alan could have easily bribed a doctor. Dinah says that this was about Lizzie's kidnapping and not getting even with Bill. What would having Lizzie kidnapped accomplished for Alan? Bill would have had sole control of Spaulding. Alan never would have wanted that to happen. Bill wants to believe so much that Alan is behind Lizzie's kidnapping.
Dinah tells her brother that he has to get past this anger towards the Spauldings. Bill says he can't let Alan get away with it because that is what will happen. Dinah again tries to reason with her brother. Bill is certain that it's Alan. Bill leaves.
At Remy's he looks over at Ava.
She doesn't need saving anymore. She's o.k. She just wanted to make sure of one thing before she went to San Francisco. She wanted to make sure that Remy was o.k. He's going to be a doctor and he has a wife. He'll be alright. Ava tells Remy that he lights up when he talks about his wife. That passion Christina has for medicine, Remy has it for his wife. Remy and Ava sit down. Remy is worried about her. He's sorry for hurting her. Ava says that's not true. He needs to be happy. Remy says it's weird he always dreamed about her coming back into his life and them making a life. Ava says all she wants for Remy is for him to be happy and he is. Ava kisses Remy and leaves. Remy pulls out the piece of paper from Loretta.
At the Spaulding Mansion, Dinah suggests that they have Christmas together. Bill says he's busy. Dinah says they can hang out and not think about the kidnapping for one day. Bill tells Dinah he can't do that. Bill leaves.
Remy finds Christina sitting beside a grave.
Christina expected him to be halfway across the country now with Ava. Is she in the car waiting for him? Ava how did she know. Christina says she overheard Olivia and Ava talking. Ava's even more beautiful then her picture. Remy says that Ava's gone now. She's gone ahead. Remy says that he has too many things keeping him here in Springfield. Like his work right? That's is part of it. How did he find her? Loretta gave him the address. Christina says the grave belongs to her mother. She had such a smile that could light up a room. She was an incredible dancer and history buff. She hated thunder. Remy says hi and say's he's her son in law as he touches the grave. Remy says it's nice to meet Christina's mother. Christina touches Remy's hand.
Outside the courthouse, Jeffrey is accosted by Josh.
Josh is pissed that Jeffrey helped Shayne get out of the country. Jeffrey says he never did that. Josh says why not just toss his son and wheelchair into traffic. Jeffrey again says he didn't do anything for Shayne. Josh says that he's come to rest with the idea now that Jeffrey is going to be the one there for Reva. Jeffrey says that is awfully big of Josh. Josh says that is where it ends. Jeffrey stays the heck away from Josh's son. Josh is Shayne's father not Jeffrey. Shayne is off limits. Jeffrey better bloody well stay away from his son.
At Cross Creek, Shayne is sitting with his mother.
Reva knows that she wasn't there for her son. Shayne says Reva was sick. Reva says that is right. She has to learn to let the guilt go away. Josh will come around eventually. Shayne can't believe how guilty Josh still feels about the accident. Josh can't let go of the past. Reva says that Josh is so proud that he raised a boy to do such dangerous work. Shayne doesn't want to hear this. Reva says that Shayne is doing such heroic work. Shayne says he has to go. He will see Reva tomorrow for Christmas. Reva saved Shayne's ornament for him.
At the grave, Remy and Christina laugh as she opens her gift.
She loves that he got her a stethoscope. Christina tells Remy that her mother is the reason that she wanted to become a doctor and study medicine. Remy asks how Christina's mother died. Christina says it was Christmastime and they had just arrived home from shopping. Christina's mother was taking off her jacket when she felt a pain in her chest. She dropped to the floor. Christina says that she felt so helpless. It was cardiac arrest. Christina tried to save her mother but all she could do was call out for help. She's still haunted by the image of her mother dying on the floor. Christina tells Remy she was 15 at the time. Remy says it's hard to lose someone you love. Christina says she made herself a promise to help others like she couldn't help her mom.
Shayne is sitting by the pond when Dinah walks by.
Dinah was walking through. She wasn't following him. Shayne says it's fine. He wanted to invite her to a Christmas party. He wants her to go over to Reva's place? Dinah's not sure. Shayne asks Dinah to come back to Europe with him. He says it's hard to travel alone with the chair. Dinah's not sure. Shayne questions why she wants to stay with the mess that has been created. Shayne says there is no reason for her to stay and feel worthless. There is no reason to stay and beat herself up after everything that has happened. Dinah says that Shayne makes a good point after all. She will go with him back to Europe.
Reva and Jeffrey are putting tinsel on the tree at Cross Creek.
Reva laughs and says that is all the room the tree has. Jeffrey tells Reva about his lecture from Josh. He wants her to know that he would never help send Shayne out of town. Reva knows that. Jeffrey shows Reva the medal from Ava to show him that other men have gone into fatherhood and survived. Jeffrey tells Reva that he is not going anywhere. Reva says that having Shayne around gave her hope. Jeffrey understands because Ava did the same thing for him. Reva laughs and groans. Jeffrey looks at her. Reva says their son is kicking up a storm.
Jeffrey laughs as he feels the baby kick for the first time. Jeffrey pulls out a Santa hat and music for the baby. He can't wait to see his son. Reva says their son likes the music.
Preview - Jeffrey and Shayne going toe to toe. Jeffrey tells Shayne that Reva needs him to stay.
It gives her hope. Shayne says that Jeffrey of all people is trying to lay a guilt trip on him. Reva and Jeffrey find a gift by the tree as Shayne watches.
