Replay of Eric/Sarah at the Kmansion, entering a panic as they're unable to find Holly. They're working on a hunt plan when Maggie enters, says she gave Holly to Chloe. Sarah gets very nasty with Maggie, saying she had no right, etc. Maggie disagrees, says she made her mistakes, but will not be judged by Sarah. They get really cross and repeat themselves a bit, before Sarah says that she forgot Holly's custody was all about Maggie and her misfortunes. Eric asks Sarah to step back, and leaves. Later, Maggie and Sarah are calmly discussing the parallels between Eric and Sarah's situations, and her future plans. Later, Maggie says she's thrilled Sarah's staying in Salem, has retrieved "her father's" stethoscope.
At the Club (remember this is supposed to be a business), Chloe is telling Holly that her presents will be at her house this year as Brady looks on. Later, they talk about her fight with Sarah and her hopes for Holly brightening her Christmas since Lucas dumped her. Later, they reminisce about Holly's birth, and Chloe admits she might not deserve to raise Holly. Brady and Chloe then discuss their deeds and misdeeds, whether they can forgive themselves, blah blah. Eventually they decide to use their love for Nicole to guide them in raising Holly.
In the Square (which is virtually deserted), John and Marlena avoid talking about their boys as they talk about shopping for presents. (Claire gets headphones, Will gets a backpack, and Paul sends a text after receiving a sweater from them.) Marlena is distracted by Abigail, should have seen her relapse coming.
At the DiMansion, Abigail tells Charlotte that Julie was on her side. She's revealing a plan to meet with a man today. Stefan0 interrupts her, she claims she was going out to buy him a present. Later, she's gone, and Stefan0 is talking to Charlotte about Gabby. Marlena enters, hoping to dash his plans. She points out that his family setup is delusional, eventually Abby will return. Lots of blah blah as Stefan0 vows to keep Abby from returning.
At the hospital, a nurse, who's never used a prop phone before (it is approximately two inches away from her mouth) is upset about a big mistake she made. JJ comes in, asks if she's OK, she bolts out.
In Julie's room, Gabi debates with the comatose Julie (who's had it in for her since the incident with Julie's "nephew Nick") as she contemplates smothering the elderly woman with a pillow. She decides she can't let Julie ruin her life, resolves to murder her, and is moving to act as JJ enters. She makes excuses, he admits he temporarily believed Abby's claims about Gabi, now sees the facts. She is about to leave, he stops her to thank her for what she did for him last Christmas Eve. After 2 scenes reviewing how far Gabi's fallen, JJ offers to walk her out, she wants to stay and say a prayer. He tells her she's a good person and he loves her. (Factual, not romantic, per his tone.) He leaves.
Abigail meets with someone from the country where she and Stefan0 were married, asks him to go back there and end the marriage. The man holds her up for more money. He wants $50k for the deed. It takes her a scene break but she musters the money and will wire him it tonight.
John is in the Square, calls out to Eric, who is unhappy. Later, they are seated together, and John says he supports Eric. Both men are his sons. After this happy talk (on which we get no further scenes), Eric stalks to the Club and walks in on Chloe and Brady's congratulatory post-pep talk hug. He asks if they're celebrating stealing Nicole's daughter.
In the Square, Marlena has learned from John (still sitting at the same table) about the Maggie/Holly mess, and is angry about it. Marlena reports on her trip to the Dimansion and her talk with Stefan0.
At Dimansion, Stefan0 talks to Charlotte about what a pathetic loser millionaire he was before her, now he will have a happy Christmas.
As JJ leaves (above), "Gabby"/Abby stalks in the hall. Back in Julie's room, Gabi again grabs the pillow and moves to act. Then stops, thinks it over, reconsiders, re-reconsiders, etc. She chucks the pillow, deciding that Arianna deserves a better mother. "Gabby" enters.
