Lucas comes to Doug's Place to see Chloe. She's excited and has missed him for the past few days. He bluntly states that he only came to thank her and say good-bye: he's moving to Italy. He is worried because Allie got drunk on Thanksgiving (he did allow her to have a glass of wine at dinner but she must have gone behind his back for more). He feels he must protect her given his history. Chloe is upset, but supports this 100%, even though she's taken aback that he'll be semi-permanently-mostly relocating (though Salem will always be his home). He doesn't expect her to wait for him. She's upset, but they work quickly through it as he again thanks her for saving his life and apologizes for not being able to be there for her & Parker.
At the Pub, Marlena is counseling Eric on how to tell Holly about Nicole.
At the Kmansion, Maggie gushes over Holly's presents. Sarah wants to talk about Holly moving in with Eric. She's mainly concerned that he's an alcoholic (though so is she) who's one slip away from relapsing. Sarah implores her mother to talk to Eric for Nicole.
At Eli's room at the Martin House, Sheila, freshly showered, lets Lani in. Eli comes out of the shower. Sheila gushes about Eli and implies they had sex; Lani gets mad and stomps out. Eli scolds Sheila, but she points out he didn't correct her quickly enough because he wanted to see if Lani got jealous.
In the Square, John and Marlena talk about Eric and make plans for fantastic shopping. They postpone it to eat with Abe, who normally would have breakfast with Valerie. Later, they're eating, and they talk about Val with whom Abe's in regular contact. Sheila calls to tell Abe she's running late, Marlena and John are shocked at the mayor's connection to a friend of Bonnie Lockhart's. He explains about Lani, Eli, etc. They leave, Sheila comes up with a gift for the mayor. She has organized his papers and receipts, which angers him. They make up, he admits he's angry because Val's staying in DC and not visiting this weekend as they had planned.
Brady comes in to the Pub. He wants to arrange a memorial service for Nicole. Eric's already planning one because of Brady. Eric holds a grudge about Brady's role in Nicole's exile, while Brady turns it around and points out that Eric killed Daniel and slept with Nicole while she was with Brady. Brady states Eric is the reason Holly's an orphan and gets punched. Brady lunges and the scene cuts. Later, Sarah and Maggie enter as Eric is choking Brady. They shoo Brady away and Maggie has several glares reserved for Eric.
At the police station, Lani is upset when Eli arrives. She's mad that he didn't correct Sheila and he admits he wanted to see if she was jealous. She tries to avoid it, but Eli says they must talk about what's going on between them. They rehash their history and he admits that not starting a relationship after David's death was the right choice. She admits that she likes it when they're together, and misses him when they're apart. She apologizes for all of the mixed signals, and he says he'll just hang with Sheila until Lani's ready. She pulls him in and kisses him.
Back at the Pub, Eric is talking with Maggie and Sarah about Holly's Christmas, making it special, and telling Holly about Nicole now. They admit they're there to talk about Holly also. Eric's worried, but Sarah explains that she brought Maggie here to talk about Eric's taking Holly in. Maggie knows it was Nicole's wish, but doesn't feel based on Eric's antics today that he's emotionally prepared to take Holly in. Eric says that he loves Holly so much, more every day, and she means the world to him. Maggie knows that, but is worried that he'll slip again and Holly could be harmed. Sarah sends Maggie out.
In the Private Area, Marlena and John recap Brady and Eric's rivalry. They state the case for each of their biological children but vow to be there for the whole family. John especially laments how Brady has lost Tate and Nicole. He wants Brady to have someone he can count on.
At Doug's Place, Brady arrives and Chloe gets an update on the Eric situation. Chloe thinks Brady should stay away from him, he agrees he's not willing to try to make peace until Eric admits his culpability in the Nicole fiasco. Later, she's icing his bruises as he admits she's his only friend in town. He says Lucas is a lucky man; she says Lucas just broke up with her to be with his daughter in Italy. Brady thinks Lucas is an idiot, and thanks Chloe for being in his corner.
At the Pub, Sarah tells Eric Maggie may cool down. She supports him because he supported her after the Rex incident. They hug.
