Sheila and Abe run into each other in the Private Area. Sheila is surprised because he's supposed to be in DC. His DC trip was a disaster, he and Valerie are emotionally separated and he skipped out early when Val had to go to work. Sheila suggests he work on his relationship. Later, she has brought him a gift: new tennis shoes. (She used her money from officiating Leo's wedding on them.) They argue fashion and he accept them, but they don't go with his suit. Sheila promises to fix his style later. Abe gets a text about the Children's Event at the hospital, remembers last year, when Theo came out of his coma. He wants to stop by the hospital.
At the Pub, Roman, with Will and Kayla, is talking of a successful holiday dinner. Kayla and Will are down. Kayla leaves the room as they clean up; Will won't tell Roman what's going on. Roman feels Sonny & Will are the real deal (probably not best to take advice from Roman on romance), will work it out. Lucas calls, Will steps outside to take it. Kayla rushes in, wondering if that was her phone. She's upset that Steve hasn't called her yet, Roman is sure Steve's just working the case to catch the spy. Kayla frets that her actions won't be forgiven by Steve.
At the Kmansion, Chad and Sonny are putting Chad's actions against Sonny aside to let Ari & Thomas celebrate Christmas. They come running from the room; Leo (looking sharp as always) has informed them Santa's not real. Sonny feels Ari's been traumatized, and chastises his husband. Later, Sonny and Chad are preparing for the event at the hospital, Leo is excited that there will be reporters there, and despite his dislike of children, he will attend for his and Sonny's "social début". He goes up to dress, passing Gabi, whom he compliments. She is revolted by him.
Gabi is dreaming of a happy family with Chad, post-Abby. (There's more to the dream, but it's not fun.)
At the Horton House, Julie comes in as Abby is looking at Charlotte. Julie is filled with joy. They recap as Abby feels badly about putting Julie in the situation which hospitalized her. Abby thanks Julie for her help, but laments she still doesn't have proof. Julie vows to help her, but Abby wants no more chances of injuring her elderly relative. She's grateful to be away from Stefan0. Ding-dong, guess who's here. Abby tries to send Stefan0 away, he wants to give his daughter a present. Julie is furious, making quips from the sidelines, as the rapist wakes the baby up to give her a stuffed bear. Abby has pulled out the "he's her father" baloney, and the rapist thinks he'll take Charlotte home tonight.
At the hospital, Roman is dressed as Santa as Will and Kayla help him. Will sees Leo with Sonny, is stunned. Arianna and Thomas run in with Chad and Gabi. Santa takes them to get cookies, Gabi and Chad lament Will's having to face Leo with Sonny. Will says at least Abby got what she wanted, a divorce from Stefan. Gabi looks shocked. Later, Will's recapped everything about Abby faking "Gabby" to get released by Stefan (his family told him); Gabi reminds everyone that "Gabby" tried to choke her. Kayla is about to read the Christmas story, Leo makes an announcement (I know I'm in the minority here, but he's funny) about how sick the kids are and his husband's donation. (It only takes about a minute.) Kayla thanks him awkwardly (Abe and Sheila, et al, exchange looks about it) and goes on with the story.
At the Horton House, the rapist refuses to leave. Abby will fight. Stefan has papers. Julie is watching, recalls everything. She drops an ornament and lays out the facts to the rapist about finding the results in Gabi's room and putting them in her purse, and the confrontation with Gabi getting them back. Voices get loud as the rapist tries to blame Julie's faulty memory, but the pieces fall into place for Abby. The rapist fights; Abby says let's go to the hospital.
Back at the hospital, "Santa" gives Thomas (head of the line) a gift. Kayla admires Abe's shoes (odd camera shots here). Abe says they're growing on him. Sonny scolds Leo for his "scene", Sheila comes to chat with the newlyweds. Leo kisses Sonny; Will watches and Roman tells him he has an idea. Chad has a flashback (of promising to do everything to protect Abby - looks pre-recast but I can't find it; it might be a new flashback); Gabi snaps him out of it, saying they need to take the kids home.
Later, Leo is ready to go, he and Sonny leave. Kayla stops them, tells Sonny that Roman needs to see him for some extra reimbursements in Room 304. Leo wants to find the bar, Kayla gives him a glare and stalks off, just as Abby and Charlotte enter with the Big Z.
In Room 304, Sonny finds Will in the Santa suit. They kiss. Back at the DiMansion, Chad and Gabi are wiped out. Gabi is spinning a tale.
In Kayla's office, Abby tells her tale, Kayla recalls that Gabi was here the day the results were returned as Kayla was called out on an emergency. Abby says that even if the paper results were tampered with, the hospital database would still reflect the correct results. Big Z rails and rants, why would Gabi do that, and Abby explains Gabi's plot as Kayla gets the results. Kayla drops the bomb: Abby's right, Charlotte is Chad's.
Back at the kids' event, Sheila and Abe dance with the kids to royalty-light music on Sheila's phone.
Back in Room 304, Sonny and Will exchange another kiss before Leo interrupts them. They cover; Leo and Sonny leave.
Back in Kayla's office, Kayla is looking at a picture of her and Steve (actually shown). Roman brings in her favourite flowers, with a note to answer her phone, which rings at that second. She's relieved to hear Steve's voice (we don't).
At Dimansion, Big Zero enters and throws a fit, trashing the tree and gifts.
At the Kmansion, Gabi goes upstairs to pack. Abby enters, tells Chad that he is Charlotte's father. Chad's facial expression doesn't change. Fade.
