John shocked Felicia to pieces, saying an empty beer bottle topped his tree.
Victoria squirmed, trying to get comfortable. Jamie was testy. For people in a cold place they leave a lot of bare flesh sticking out. Victoria complained of heat.
Amanda met Julie Ann at Gino & Dominic's. Enter Sam and Mitch. Amanda burst into tears. She told Julie Ann she was pregnant. Sam stared into space, brooding about Amanda. Amanda cried some more.
Felicia called John Grinch-like.
Victoria had a hard time breathing. She watched Jamie appreciatively as he got up to lower the stove. She got him to help her open the window, which involved golf pro closeness. Victoria retreated. Jamie seemed nervous. Jamie got the urge to call Lisa again but the phone was dead. A police officer burst in.
Amanda dwelt on it. She's confused. Julie Ann asked if she intended to tell Sam. Amanda got incoherent. Sam and Mitch fought about olives and anchovies. Mitch thought about Felicia's pizza peculiarities. [She orders black olives and picks them off one by one.] The waitress ogled Sam. Amanda told Julie Ann she needed Sam. Mitch and Sam decided they didn't need women.
Felicia made John decorate his boat. She produced mistletoe for him. He scoffed. They discussed his father the alcoholic. He hated the holidays. Drank more. Let people down. John loved him. He didn't do it on purpose or anything. [So Michael was an ogre to discard the name and the man.] John forbade Felicia to sing.
Lisa wrapped a gift for Jamie.
Vicky and Jamie went on their way — Vicky driving — the cop having helped them get the car started after the suspicion had passed. Jamie's eager to get home to Lisa. He told Vicky she needed a boyfriend and promised they'd get her one.
Everything reminds Sam of Amanda. Olives remind Mitch of Felicia. Sam advised Mitch to make up with Felicia. Mitch counteradvised. Sam said the situations were different. Amanda hates being so confused. She said she couldn't tell Sam. She got up to go to the ladies' room and ran right into Sam. Julie Ann and Mitch got up to leave. Amanda told Sam she hadn't been crying and she was fine and he hadn't ruined Lisa's party for her. Vicky came in and introduced herself to Jamie's sister.
John doesn't know about spending Christmas at the farm with Mike. Felicia is going to St Elmo's. She's not sure about Mitch. John told her men had difficulty with previous men in the immediate vicinity. Felicia agreed to talk to Mitch. She asked John to come to St Elmo's. Exit Felicia.
Lisa fell asleep on the couch. Jamie crept in and kissed her awake. He said he had been stranded with Victoria. Lisa asked why Vicky had been there. Jamie explained about the car and the snow tires. Lisa seemed suspicious. She told him about Sam. Jamie found his gift. She snatched it back until Christmas. Kissing.
Sam introduced himself. Vicky invited him and Amanda to Lisa's surprise party. Sam refused abruptly and ran off. Vicky got friendly with Amanda.
Felicia returned home. Mitch leaped out from behind the decorated tree. Felicia produced the crowning angel. They embraced. Felicia placed the angel. She asked why he'd decorated the tree. He said he loved her and he was making up for overreacting. They danced and kissed.
John contemplated his mistletoe and hung a garland over his door.
Jamie kissed Lisa and told her he loved her. She was interested in his evening with Vicky. He said Vicky had made him realize how much he missed her.
Amanda and Victoria ate a vast quantity of pizza. Vicky left. Sam stood outside and watched Amanda through the window. She saw him turn away.
