Friday, December 23, 2005
At the Chandler manse, a magnanimous JR invited the extended Chandler/Martin clan — and even David! — to stay and join in the celebration of Little Adam’s return. JR tossed Di’s present for the boy into the fire, which Babe observed. When Babe called him on it, JR scoffed that if Di really gave a damn about the baby, she’d be there right now. “Di is as dead to me as my mother,” seethed JR. JR thanked Babe for keeping him calm while their baby was missing; she kissed him to thank him for letting Little A be showered by love by the whole family… Palmer sidled up to Krystal, who assured him she still intended to take Adam to the cleaners. “We’ll finalize our plans after the holidays,” she whispered…. Babe was touched by David’s warm holiday sentiments…. Adam and Krystal decided that they would both sleep in the nursery to keep an eye on Little Adam…. JR approached Babe as she peered at the Christmas tree. “Babe?” he offered hesitantly. “I’m falling in love with you.” A smile spread across Babe’s face as JR walked away.
At the police station, Derek grilled Jonathan to determine if he was responsible for snatching Little Adam. Jon insisted that he was innocent, then dispatched Erin to complete Lily’s Christmas shopping on his behalf. Aidan offered to join her, but Erin turned him down. Later, they ran into each other while jogging and Aidan’s heart went out to Erin when she broke down over Jon’s ruined Christmas.
Binks protested when Zach insisted that Kendall wanted the divorce and reported that Kendall had admitted to her that she’s in love with Zach. Zach said it made no difference because Kendall didn’t object when he gave her the divorce papers. “She’s afraid!” pointed out Bianca, who encouraged Zach to find his ex and convince her of his love. During her pep talk, Bianca also confirmed that she and Maggie are now a couple. But Zach wouldn’t be swayed. “I’d destroy her,” he fretted.
At the church, Kendall was freaked out by the presence of Father Clarence and Ryan. Clarence then disappeared, and Kendall and Ryan realized they were locked inside. The presence of a baby doll in the manger further unnerved Kendall, whose frazzled nerves Ryan tried to soothe. “How did I get here?” sighed Kendall, referring not to the church but to this high-stress, confusing juncture in her life. Ryan then told Kendall that he was going to leave town, reminding her that she said she didn’t want him around. Ryan noticed something on the ground and picked it up. “Oh, my God,” he gasped. He explained to Kendall that, oddly enough, a St. Christopher medal from his childhood (which his father had yanked away from him) was there at the church. Kendall was next in line for a Christmas miracle, as she was reunited with a drawing she’d done of herself as a youngster. An emotional Kendall informed Ryan of her decision to bring their son into the world, although she didn’t commit to raising it. “I’m with you, whatever you decide,” asserted Ryan, who changed his mind about leaving town. The door, surprise, surprise, was not unlocked.
Tad encountered Father Clarence, who, before vanishing into thin air, told Tad that he knew Dixie and encouraged him to make a wish upon the Christmas star. Tad spoke aloud to Dixie of his feelings for her — and for Di. At a mysterious location, Di strolled into a well-appointed room and said, “I told you I’d come if I could. Merry Christmas, Dixie.” Dixie — the real one — turned to face her.
